Abstract
We present a general model-independent and rephase-invariant formalism
that cleanly relates CP and CPT noninvariant observables to
the fundamental parameters. Different types of CP and CPT violations
in the K0-, B0-, Bs0- and D0-systems are explicitly defined.
Their importance for interpreting experimental measurements of CP and CPT violations
is emphasized. In particular, we show that the time-dependent measurements allow
one to extract a clean signature of CPT violation.
