European Commissioner for Transport Violeta Bulc on Friday announced that the EU will stop the twice-yearly changing of clocks across the continent in October 2019. The practice, which was used as a means to conserve energy during the World Wars as well as the oil crises of the 1970s, became law across the bloc in 1996. All EU countries are required to move forward by an hour on the last Sunday of March and back by an hour on the final Sunday in October. Bulc said EU member states would have until April 2019 to decide whether they would permanently remain on summer or winter time.

Why would anyone not like daylight savings time?

I assume what most people are bitching about is the the twice a year change. I dont know why anybody would have a problem with more daylight in the afternoon. Getting dark at 5 pm sucks.

What are we on right now? It needs to stay like this. I dont understand why it hasn't been done. It's a piece of paper.

That’s regular time. You like daylight savings time, you dislike regular time.
