End of Daylight Saving Time? Brussels' Position

The transition from summer to winter time occurs on October 25, with clocks moving back from 3 AM to 2 AM. The European Commission has consistently supported the idea of abolishing the time change since 2018, but member states have yet to reach an agreement. Concerns about a 'time mosaic' in the EU arise from differing preferences for summer or winter time among countries. The Commission plans to provide an analysis to aid decision-making. Historical context includes the reintroduction of daylight saving time during the 1970s energy crisis. Poland's presidency in 2025 has reignited discussions, with many countries open to talks but seeking data on economic impacts. Public consultations show a majority of Europeans favor abolishing the time change.
