Earlier this week the European Parliament voted 384 to 153 to review whether Daylight Saving Time is actually worth it.

The resolution asked the European Commission to review the costs and benefits of Daylight Saving Time. If the EU were to abolish Daylight Saving Time, it would need approval of the majority of EU member states and EU Parliament members.

Now that the Parliament came to a conclusion, it will only take a few more decades until the Commission comes to a conclusion. A few decades later there might be a final decision. Which is not binding for any EU member of course. Yes, that's how the EU works.
