EU Parliament Votes To End Daylight Savings (dw.com)

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the about-time dept.

The European Parliament on Tuesday voted with a large majority to end daylight savings time in the EU by 2021. From a report: Under the proposals, each member state would decide whether to continue with twice-a-year clock changes or stick permanently to summer or winter time. All 28 member states would need to inform the European Commission of their choice ahead of the proposed switch, by April 2020. They would then coordinate with the bloc's executive so that their decisions do not disrupt the functioning of the single market.

    It is interesting that you donâ(TM)t see a proposal to split the difference by adjusting our clocks by only 1/2 hour and leaving them there.
