Last I heard, this has stalled in the EU parliament. :( Some of the big countries have shifted their position from "cool, lets do this" to "meh, why bother".

I'd also prefer permanent standard time, FWIW.
- kseistrup 7y agoPerhaps you are right (although I hope you aren't). I was reading https://www.europarl.europa.eu/news/en/press-room/20190321IPR32107/parliament-backs-proposal-to-end-switch-between-summer-and-winter-time-in-2021 https://www.europarl.europa.eu/news/en/press-room/20190321IP... the other day, and I sensed some light at the end of the tunnel.

- _ph_ 7y agoI think it is more important to keep the common time zone we currently have in the middle of the EU than where exactly it is. So it makes sense to delay a decision, until an agreement across the member states of that time zone can be reached. And as most of the time zone already is in the "plus" vs. the astronomical time, standard time would be the very obvious choice.
