The clock’s handshakes will be moved again – this was the desired change

The clock’s wisdom will be moved again at the end of this week, when the Saturday and Sunday night moves to summer time and winter or normal time ends.

The handshake will be moved for an hour on Sunday, March 30 at 3 pm.

In all EU Member States, time changes on the same days with the same clock. Similarity is important, for example, due to international train and air traffic.

The watches are always moved on the last Sunday in March and October, and the morning night is chosen as the time because traffic is the lowest and the transfer of watches causes the least harm.

Finland has been permanently followed in Finland since 1981.

EU policy stuck

The transfer of watches has caused a lot of debate and it is liked to be nonsense. Indeed, in 2018, the European Commission proposed that the EU be handed over twice a year for the transfer of watches.

Department of Health and Welfare THL then looked at, among other things,that the use of summer time is harmful, but no benefit to health.

In the spring of 2019, the European Parliament voted in favor of stopping the transfer and suggested that the watches would be moved for the last time in 2021. However, the original target schedule was not realized.

The proposal is still waiting for the EU Council to be processed, as the Council and Parliament decide on this jointly.

“The proceedings in the Council have so far stopped, as some Member States do not yet have an insight into their potential permanent time, nor does it take a view to whether the summer time arrangement should be abandoned,” the Ministry of Transport and Communications says in the release.
