The message is given in a response from Transport Commissioner Apostolos Tzitzikostas to a written question from Finland-Swedish EU parliament member Anna-Maja Henriksson, reports Finnish Yle.
The EU Commission proposed in 2018 the abolition of the annual time changes and quickly got the EU Parliament on board. But among the EU's member countries in the Council of Ministers, the issue has gotten stuck in a combination of disinterest and unwillingness to change the current system.
Tzitzikostas now promises to already this year "analyze the legal and practical issues". If this will get the EU countries more favorably disposed to making a decision remains to be seen.
Personally, I would not have anything against being in the same time zone as Sweden. The most important thing is anyway that we do not get a two-hour time difference to the rest of Europe, says Anna-Maja Henriksson to Yle.
