Daylight Saving Time

Today is the last Sunday of March, which means that Daylight Saving Time starts again in Europe.

Despite the fact that 84% of Europeans were ready to say goodbye to the Summertime many years ago, and that EU Council in 2019 has drafted a proposal to abolish the switch starting from 2021, it is still observed.

Once again, it shows how incapable EU State Members are, when they need to agree on something. Well, there have been factors, such as pandemic and the war in Ukraine, that diverted attention from this question. But enough excuses! It’s been at least 6 years from the preliminary decision, and nothing has changed.

I don’t care much which timezone will be chosen in the end, I just wish it happens sooner rather than later. I hate this period twice a year when my body’s time perception differs from what the clocks show.
