The consultation ran for six weeks from July 4 to August 16.<\/p>\n<p>The choices offered in the consultation include permanent summer time or permanent winter time. If the EU decides to discontinue the current arrangements, Europe must maintain a unified time regime, the consultation said, to avoid disrupting the single market.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are now going to analyze the results we received and publish a report in the coming weeks,\u201d Spahr said.<\/p>\n<p>The consultation <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.eu\/article\/meps-back-review-into-scrapping-daylight-saving-time\/\" rel=\"noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">followed a February request<\/a> from the European Parliament to carry out a \u201cthorough assessment\u201d of summertime arrangements, despite the decades-old practice of putting the clocks forward by an hour between March and October.<\/p>\n<p>The main argument for scrapping the clock change would be to benefit health: The Commissions consultation <a href=\"https:\/\/ec.europa.eu\/info\/consultations\/2018-summertime-arrangements_en\" rel=\"noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">states<\/a> that, while evidence of the \u201coverall [health] effects\u201d remain inconclusive, the impact of the time changes on the human biorhythm may be \u201cmore severe than previously thought.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Saving energy was one of the main drivers of the current arrangements but the reduction in energy use from the clock change is \u201cmarginal\u201d and largely dependent on member countries geographical location, the Commission said.<\/p>\n<p><em>Ginger Hervey contributed reporting.<\/em><\/p>\n<h2><em>Read this next: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.eu\/article\/danish-finance-minister-kristian-jensen-puts-risk-of-no-deal-brexit-at-50-50\/\" rel=\"noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Danish finance minister puts risk of no deal Brexit at 50-50<\/a><\/em><\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.eu\/article\/record-4-6m-responses-as-eu-considers-scrapping-clock-change\/?utm_source=RSS_Feed&amp;utm_medium=RSS&amp;utm_campaign=RSS_Syndication\" rel=\"noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Original Article<\/a><\/p>\n<p>[contf]<br \/>\n[contfnew]<br \/>\n        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com\/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRMd3Tz2gX9xSa6CJyaOj2dokBVcrdaT4yY3R3RI7YmL18vCLZZ\"\/><\/p>\n<h5><a href=\"http:\/\/www.politico.com\/&gt;Politico&lt;\/a&gt;&lt;\/h5&gt;_&lt;\/p&gt;[contfnewc]_[contfnewc]_&lt;\/body&gt;&lt;\/html&gt;\" rel=\"noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"><\/a><\/h5>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The European Commission today said it received more than 4.6 million responses to its consultation o..<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":88513,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[48],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-88512","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-health"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 -
