Fight against time: EU countries hesitate to abolish the time change!

Ungarn, Land - Summer time is just around the corner! On March 30, 2025, the clocks will be presented at 3:00 a.m. While the EU member states are still disagreed with the abolition of the time change, it turns out that other countries have already dared to take this step. Ukraine, due to the war, abolished summer time last year and will no longer experience a clock turn this March. This is a real signal at a time when many people urge to standardize, while in Union policy the topic is on ice.

EU policy in standstill

Since 2018, there has been a proposal from the EU Commission to abolish the time change, which was approved by the EU Parliament in spring 2019. Since then, however, the ball has been with the Member States; Nothing is decided without a majority.

The EU Ministerial Council last dealt with the topic in December 2019, under Finnish Presidency. According to

The entire EU traditionally takes place on the last March Sunday to the conversion to summer time, which was introduced for energy saving in the 1970s. Countries such as Egypt, Argentina, Japan and South Africa have long since put an end to the time change. With the latest developments, the EU still seems to be behind, while the world is moving towards more stability and harmonization by avoiding the unnecessary change in time.
