> Is the proposal to make it optional? No. What gave you that idea? For reference, here is the text that was adopted today: http://www.europarl.europa.eu/sides/getDoc.do?pubRef=-//EP//TEXT+TA+P8-TA-2018-0043+0+DOC+XML+V0//EN&language=EN http://www.europarl.europa.eu/sides/getDoc.do?pubRef=-//EP//... For the moment, you need to click on the PDF icon on the page to get the PDF version of the text, the HTML is not there yet at the moment of writing. Apart from the looong recitals, the core of the text adopted today is simply the following: The European Parliament [...] 1. Calls on the Commission to conduct a thorough assessment of Directive 2000/84/EC and, if necessary, come up with a proposal for its revision; 2. Instructs its President to forward this resolution to the Commission, the Council, and the governments and parliaments of the Member States. Edit: Oh, but one of the recitals does state that "it is crucial to maintain a unified EU time regime even after the end of biannual time changes", so I think your worry is for now unfounded.
