European Parliament in favor of review of DST
The EP voted on the issue due to a citizens’ petition which expressed concern over the health effects of DST.
Those in favor of abolishing DST point out that, aside from the negative impact on human biorhythm, it leads to more traffic accidents, more family disturbances, as well as a drop in workplace productivity.
Furthermore, they say that the original purpose of DST was energy saving, which, according to them, has never been accomplished.
On the other hand, European Commissioner for Transport Violeta Bulc, who took part in the discussion on behalf of the EC, rejected the position that DST has a negative impact on people’s health. She said that it was not clear how abolishing DST would improve people’s health.
She noted that letting member-states decide freely on implementing uncoordinated changes to the DST system would be harmful to the Union’s single market. For this reason, she said, she is against the resolution.
