// In this scenario the first day of the week is monday,

// [...] the first calendar week of a year is the one
// that includes the first Thursday of that year and
// [...] the last calendar week of a calendar year is
// the week immediately preceding the first
// calendar week of the next year.
// The first week of the year may thus start in the
// preceding year
