In the night until March 30, the hands go from 2:00 to 3:00 am – although the EU wanted to abolish the time change. A planned abolition or new regulations at EU level still comes for a long time. And so Europe continues to turn the instructions.
The Marmot greeted every six months: on the last Sunday of the month, in the night of March 30, summer time this year starts again. The instructions will advance in Europe at 2:00 to 3:00. There is a proposal in the EU for seven years to terminate this procedure, but an agreement is still not in sight.
The corresponding proposal of the Commission from 2018 was approved by the EU parliament in the spring of 2019. However, since then the ball has been the EU member states that have not made since then. The majority of the Member States should agree to the abolition. The current Polish presidency initially did not respond to a request whether the subject would be placed on the agenda. The last time a council of ministers dealt with the time change in December 2019, at that time still under the Finnish presidency.
Worry about a watch chaos between states
The EU committee’s proposal stipulates that there are no time changes. However, every Member State of the trade union must be left whether it changes throughout the year in the summer or winter. However, there were concerns about this plan from many countries, because, among other things, a uniform time zone seems desirable for the economy, at least in Central Europe. Otherwise intergovernmental watch -chaos could cause problems. Austria prefers a constant summer time as standard time as desirable.
The abolition of the time change was initiated by an EU-wide (non-repairable) online survey. About 84 percent of the participants spoke to an end to the time change in 2018, with the majority prefering a permanent summer time. A total of 4.6 million answers were received-a record value, but less than one percent of the EU population. Participation in Germany was particularly strong: three million votes came from there.
Introduction on the occasion of the 1973 oil crisis
Until now, the watches throughout the EU have been presented on the last Sunday in March and set up the last Sunday in October. Summer time was introduced in 1973 during the oil crisis to save energy by using an extra hour of daylight for economy and households. France started at the time.
Austria only introduced summer time in 1979, when administrative obstacles passed by and a temporary adjustment was requested to Germany and Switzerland. These two countries followed in 1980. However, there were already summer time regulations in Austria: 1916 during the First World War and between 1940 and 1948 – the latter remained without permanent success.
