At In , the European Parliament voted to remove daylight energy saving time permanently. The initial plan was to stop seasonal time changes after spring However, this was put on ice due to the Covid pandemic. At the time, it seemed like a slam-dunk that everyone could agree would benefit the citizens of all nations. However, it is clear now that the Commission itself has no such power to simply decree that all member nations employ daylight savings time or not.

Conversely, it is a decision which must be made by each and every national government in the Union. Originally, daylight savings time had been instituted as a way to save power during wartime and when electricity was needed the most— something that is hardly the case in Europe today. In addition, it has been claimed that not pushing the time back one hour, remaining on Summertime, helps in the reduction of traffic accidents and even improves the circadian rhythms of the human body.

While many enjoy the extra hour in bed, there are some negatives. International evidence indicates that break-ins could rise by as much as 20 percent over the coming months when daylight hours are at their lowest level. Critics have also said that changing the clocks is economically and socially disruptive, therefore cancelling out any benefits.

Those in favor of abolishing the time switch said there were health benefits of doing away with the biannual time shift, energy savings to be made, and more time would be created for evening leisure activities. While daylight saving may not be over in the EU yet, many countries have never acclimated to the practice, while others have been able to shake it from their schedules.
