In the Netherlands, this is currently a hot discussion. At the moment, the Netherlands belongs to the same timezone as Berlin. Historically, the dutch time was GMT+0020 (that's right, 20 minutes more than GMT). This would be the most natural timezone for the Netherlands. During the German occupation in the 1940s, the Dutch time was set to the same timezone as Germany. After the war was over, this was kept as timezone. Thus, we already have a timezone shifted in the wrong way, with less daylight during the morning and more in the evenings. Moving to permanent DST, would move our time even further away from the biological clocks of everyone.
