Directive on summertime arrangements
This procedure establishes a common framework for the transition between standard time and summertime across the European Union. By synchronizing the clocks across member states, the EU aims to ensure the smooth functioning of the internal market and avoid disruptions in transport and communication.
This affects all EU citizens and businesses by standardizing when daylight saving time begins and ends, ensuring consistency for cross-border travel and trade.
