Further to my earlier comment, I've realised that I read the consultation document too quickly! The last section makes clear that the only thing to be decided at EU level is the summer time *regime*, and specifically whether to keep the existing arrangements whereby all member states change to summer time simultaneously, or to prohibit summer time for all member states. It will remain up to individual member states to choose and define their own time zone. As a result your official response probably ought to be reworded to take this division of responsibilities into account. -- John
