Lithuania to appeal to EC about daylight saving time

Sixty-seven MPs voted for the decree On the Application of the Daylight Saving Time in Lithuania, five voted against with 28 abstentions.

The Parliament has also suggested that the Government charge state institutions with analysing the impact of the time switching on health, energy, transport, environment, tourism and agriculture. The public should be polled regarding the application of the daylight saving time as well.

The EU’s directive on summer-time arrangements is reviewed every five years. It will be next revised in late 2016.
