European Union lawmakers voted on Tuesday to scrap the practice of moving clocks forward by an hour in spring then back again in the autumn in the bloc from April 2021, two years later than the EU executive initially proposed.

The European Parliament voted by 410 to 192 in favour of ending the practice of seasonal time shifts. The vote is not the last word on the issue but will form the basis of discussions with EU countries to produce a final law. The countries have yet to take a stance.

As hinted in the last sentence, I believe it will be up to the individual countries to choose what they want to do

This is an old chestnut, wasn't this idea debated in the UK several years ago?
Basically people living in the southern part of England were more in favour of having a fixed time year round.
But in Scotland which has less hours of daylight in winter they were much less keen as it would mean children having to go to school in the dark with greater concern for their safety.
And iif countries stay under the existing self regulation, they can adjust the all important hours of daylight to suit them.
All countries in Europe are either GMT+1 or GMT + 2 . So that has to be considered too.

Surely the EU has more important issues to debate!

Once again when important issues are being agreed on by the EU, Britain has no vote/influence any more.

So the UK can stay in the dark as long as it wants or even lighten up a bit.
Long live Brexit.
