The European Commission states that reaching a consensus to end the biannual clock change is still possible and will present a study on the matter this year. Member states have expressed willingness to review the findings once delivered. On the 29th of this month, clocks across the EU will shift to summer time, as mandated by a directive requiring adjustments on the last Sundays of March and October. Although the Commission proposed ending this practice in 2018 following strong public support, the process has been stalled due to a lack of agreement among member states. The current Cypriot presidency of the Council of the EU noted that they are prepared to discuss the proposal if the study is completed during their term, though it is expected to be finalised later.
