Amendment 23 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 3
(3) The Commission has examined available evidence, which points to the importance of having harmonised Union rules in this area to ensure the proper functioning of the internal market and avoid, inter alia, disruptions to the scheduling of transport operations and the functioning of information and communication systems, higher costs to cross-border trade, or lower productivity for goods and services. EMoreover, while evidence is not entirely conclusive as to whether the benefits of summer-time arrangements outweigh the inconveniences linked to a biannual change of time, a number of studies and analyses have highlighted the potential negative impact on human and animal biorhythms.

Amendment 37 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 4
(4) A lively public debate is taking place on summer-time arrangements and some Member States, putting forward health, economic and social arguments, have already expressed their preference to discontinue the application of such arrangements. In the light of these developments, it is necessary to continue safeguarding the proper functioning of the internal market and to avoid any significant disruptions thereto caused by divergences between Member States in this area. Therefore, it is appropriate to put an end in a coordinated way to summer-time arrangements.
