>Five years ago, the European Commission publised the preliminary results of the public consultation on clock change in Europe.
>
>This online consultation, which ran from 4 July to 16 August 2018, received 4.6 million responses from all 28 Member States, the highest number of responses ever received in any Commission public consultation. According to the preliminary results (see annex), 84% of respondents are in favour of putting an end to the bi-annual clock change.

>European Commissioner for Transport Violeta Bulc presented these preliminary results to the College of Commissioners that held a first discussion on the possible next steps. Commissioner Bulc said: “Millions of Europeans used our public consultation to make their voices heard. The message is very clear: 84% of them do not want the clocks to change anymore. We will now act accordingly and prepare a legislative proposal to the European Parliament and the Council, who will then decide together.”
Sadly, this issue has been forgotten and no progress is being made. I was awaiting the end of seasonal clock changes because it would be beneficial to our lives, one way or another. However, five years later, nothing has changed.
The only thing, bar the railways, that Russia does better than the eu.
No daylight savings time. Who needs it, and why?
I hate DST and had high hopes to finally get rid of it. Sucks that they just ignored it.
Yes, 84% of the 4.6 million responses, that’s 3.8 million of 450 million inhabitants…
Even more, 70% of the total votes came from Germany.
If you want to use the results of a query, the query must be performed correctly.
I don’t see the need to remove DST. It’s not that much of a bother to change clocks twice a year, and it gives more light in the evening.
