I guess this means that the datestyle affects the way how the client wants the 
information displayed.

Unfortunately I am a bit short of time right at the moment. I would suggest 
that you look into how the tools you are using generate the csv.

Here what I could see using psql:

db=> create table testdate (timedate timestamptz);
CREATE TABLE
db=> \d testdate
             Table "public.testdate"
  Column  |           Type           | Modifiers
----------+--------------------------+-----------
 timedate | timestamp with time zone |

db=> insert into testdate values(clock_timestamp());
INSERT 0 1
db=> insert into testdate values(clock_timestamp());
INSERT 0 1
db=> insert into testdate values(clock_timestamp());
INSERT 0 1

kofadmin@kofdb.localhost=> SET datestyle TO "GERMAN";
SET
db=> \copy testdate to testdate.csv csv header ;
COPY 3

Content of file:

timedate
22.09.2015 15:53:48.268 CEST
22.09.2015 15:53:49.612 CEST
22.09.2015 15:53:50.44 CEST

db=> SET datestyle TO "ISO";
SET
db=> \copy testdate to testdate.csv csv header ;
COPY 3

Content of file:

timedate
2015-09-22 15:53:48.268+02
2015-09-22 15:53:49.612+02
2015-09-22 15:53:50.44+02

So it is actually a matter of instructing the client to print the date in the 
format that you wish.

Hope this helps.
Bye
Charles
