Since Sunday, most parts of the United States with multiple time zones have returned to daylight saving time. It expires in November.

The debate erupted in the EU a few years ago when the European Commission in Brussels proposed to make winter time permanent. Due to differences of opinion, the plan was shelved.

Former Interior Minister Hollande then explored what the consequences of a permanent summer or winter in the Netherlands would be. This shows that a system without changes is better for health. Better for transportation. “In the context of road safety, there are indications that avoiding time change, i.e. maintaining a permanent summer, would be beneficial,” the minister said.

However, the Netherlands wants to integrate its structure with neighboring Belgium and Germany, but also with Luxembourg and France. Even those countries still do not know what they are going to decide.
