'The time has come': Will Europe finally put an end to changing of the clocks?

The European Union is reconsidering the biannual clock change as it adversely affects health and the economy. Millions of citizens support abolishing the practice, which the EU proposed in 2018. Despite backing from the European Parliament, the issue remains unresolved due to opposition from certain member states. Polish leadership seeks to reignite discussions, emphasizing the health risks associated with the clock changes. Lawmaker Sean Kelly highlights the need for a target date to end the practice, citing its negative impacts and questioning its benefits.

There's a huge amount of evidence suggesting that changing the clock biannually is bad for human health, bad for animals, bad for road traffic, and has very little beneficial attributes. And it's also a huge inconvenience.

So I think the time has come to say bye-bye, as Kelly puts it, urging the EU to agree on a target date to stop changing clocks, similar to objectives for greenhouse gas emissions.
