Governments are still tinkering with the EU's abolition of daylight saving time, but this year they may gain momentum.

More than 40 MEPs have urged EU transport ministers to advance the abolition of daylight saving time. The European Commission proposed ending the biannual clock changes in 2018, but progress has stalled. The European Parliament established its position in 2019, yet member states have not followed suit. A group of MEPs from 15 countries is now calling for at least a plan to move forward. Peter Liese criticized the lack of agreement, attributing it to member states rather than EU institutions. The Hungarian presidency in 2024 is expected to address the issue, with the Commission preparing another report by year-end.
