Poland and now Finland urge EU to stop daylight saving time. Few days ago, the parliamentary transport and communications committee recommended to the government that Finland should actively push the EU to abolish its directive on daylight savings time, after considering the citizen's initative. "THE European Union is coming under pressure to stop daylight saving time after more than 70,000 Finnish citizens have signed a petition against the seasonal time shift, arguing it is making them ill." http://www.express.co.uk/news/world/872298/Finland-urges-EU-to-stop-daylight... The committee justified the recommendation by saying that turning the clocks causes short-term sleeping disorders, reduced performance at work and can also lead to serious health problems. A bill in Poland to do away with the time change is also making progress. Many Finnish lawmakers point out that their hands are tied, however, as the country is bound to European Union standards as a Member State. A similar bid to do away with the time change has been proposed for consideration at the European Parliament and each of Finland's 13 MEPs has signed on to support it. The Commission decided to analyse the impact of the time change more closely in October "2016"." (edited 2017 ?) https://yle.fi/uutiset/osasto/news/turn_your_clocks_back_tonight_as_finland_...
