(2) In its resolution of 8 February 2018, the European Parliament called on the Commission to conduct an assessment of the summer-time arrangements provided by Directive 2000/84/EC and, if necessary, to come up with a proposal for its revision. That resolution also confirmed that it is essential to maintain a harmonised and co- ordinated approach to time arrangements throughout the Union.

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 toproblems in 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, and to provide solutions. Evidence is notincreasingly conclusive as to whether the benefits of summer-time arrangements outweigh the inconveniences linked to a biannual change of timethe negative effects of a biannual change of time on human health. It also seems increasingly conclusive than a closer alignment with sunlight avoids negative effects.

Recital 4
(4) A lively public debate is taking place on summer-time arrangements. Close to 4.6 million citizens participated in the Commission’s public consultation, the highest number of responses ever received in a Commission consultation, thus highlighting the level of public concern as regards the biannual change of time and some Member States 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.
