Actually the nominal voltage is 230V (-6%+10% see here for the official notes) but nothing actually changed, so whenever I have checked the voltage it has been 239 or 240volts. However there is nothing to say that further away from a substation it may not be lower, or due to other factors, that's the beauty of tolerences.
Europe changed from 220V to 230V (-10%+6%) so now we're nominally on the same, but appliances still have to be built to handle 220-240Vac:)
