The European Commission presented its proposal to end seasonal clock changes for Summer or Winter time. The proposal follows a consultation that received nearly 5 million responses. Many were concerned with negative health consequences. Sefcovic said the measure was outdated and dated back to the wars and the energy crisis in the 1970s. Member states will be free to choose, but it would be introduced in a coordinated manner.

Commissioner Bulc outlined the next steps with the ambition to end clock changes by 2019. The short time table will be done in full consultation with member states. Bulc says that the Austrian Presidency are giving its full support to placing this matter on their agenda.
