Lithuania Calls for Coordinated End to Daylight Saving Time in Europe
Transport Minister Juras Taminskas said Lithuania is leading efforts to build regional support for a coordinated shift away from biannual time adjustments.
“I am taking the lead on stopping seasonal time changes and am rallying the Baltic region countries to achieve this common goal,” he said.
He added that Lithuania intends to advance the initiative during its upcoming presidency of the EU Council, aiming to turn the proposal into actionable policy at the European level.
The campaign targets alignment among Estonia, Latvia, Poland, Finland, and Sweden, which Lithuania hopes will support the plan.
Meanwhile, European institutions are continuing to assess the broader implications of daylight saving time. An ongoing review by the European Commission is examining the economic, social, and health effects of clock changes across member states, with findings expected later this year.
The biannual time shift has been in place across much of Europe for decades, though it remains a subject of debate and coordination within the EU.
Some countries, including Türkiye, ended seasonal clock changes years ago, a move that has been supported by various public health experts.
