Will daylight saving time be abolished?

Will daylight saving time be abolished?

The European Parliament is likely to vote on this issue in December.

A working group has investigated the pros and cons of changing the clock. The idea behind summer time is that you can cut back on lighting, but according to the working group, the intended energy savings are not achieved.

If the European Parliament agrees to abolish daylight saving time, the European Commission still has to approve the plan. We will probably be two years later before daylight saving time is actually abolished.
