That sounds like hell. I already dread having to switch to winter time once per year, making it the standard one all year is miserable. I understand that it is more in line with the solar time, but my life (and that of many others) is definitely now. We simply live more in the evening, and that extra hour of sun lets you do much more stuff.

Also, another unintended consequence: here we call DST "legal time". Removing it will make lots of dads helpless, since they won't be anymore able to say once a year the joke "finally there is one legal thing in this country!"... Please European Commission, think of them!

I wouldn’t worry about it too much, these stories appear every year and nothing ever changes.
