Proposal for a directive
Recital 5
Recital 5
(5) This Directive should not prejudice the right of each Member State to decide on the standard time or times for the territories under its jurisdiction and falling under the territorial scope of the Treaties, and on further changes thereto. However, in order to ensure that the application of summer-time arrangements by some Member States only does not disrupt the functioning of the internal market and ensure a coordinated approach, Member States should refrain from changing the standard time in any given territory under their jurisdiction for reasons related to seasonal changes, be such change presented as a change of time zone. Moreover, in order to minimise disruptions, inter alia, to transport, communications and other concerned sectors, they should notify the Commission in due time of their intention to change their standard time and subsequently. The Commission should then assess the potential negative impact of such change on the functioning of the internal market. Only after such exchange and proper analysis could a Member State apply the notified changes. The Commission should, on the basis of that notification, inform all other Member States so that they can inform the Commission if they have reasons to believe that the change would impact them, if the change is confirmed and take all necessary measures. It should also inform the general public and stakeholders by publishing this information.

Recital 7
(7) It is important to avoid possible complications that could occur when Member States are implementing this directive. It is therefore necessary to leave them sufficient time and ensure a harmonized and well-coordinated approach. This Directive should apply from 1 April 201920, so that the last summer- time period subject to the rules of Directive 2000/84/EC should start, in every Member State, at 1.00 a.m., Coordinated Universal Time, on 31 March 201920. Member States that, after that summer-time period, intend to adopt a standard time corresponding to the time applied during the winter season in accordance with Directive 2000/84/EC should change their standard time at 1.00 a.m., Coordinated Universal Time, on 27 October 201920, so that similar and lasting changes occurring in different Member States take place simultaneously. It is desirable that Member States take the decisions on the standard time that each of them will apply as from 201920 in a concerted manner.
