MEPs agree to end seasonal clock-change in 2021
By EUobserver
MEPs of the transport and tourism committee on Monday backed a Commission proposal to end the automatic seasonal time change in 2021, allowing member states to choose between winter or summer time. EU countries have been obliged since 2001 to switch to summertime on the last Sunday of March and to switch back to wintertime on the last Sunday of October. There are currently three standard time-zones in the EU.
