Time To Stop Changing Clocks? Not So Fast, Say EU States

Fonte: International Business Times

The EU proposed to abolish the biannual clock changes in 2018 but the plan has been stuck in a time warp because of EU states' opposition AFP The saying goes that time is money but in the European Union, time is political too. When clocks spring forward across the bloc on Sunday, it will not be the last time despite a desire by millions of EU citizens to see the lights turned out on the biannual change. Research shows that moving the clock back and forth in autumn and spring negatively impacts the economy as well as people's health, fuelling growing calls to end the system in Europe -- and beyond.
