On the night of Saturday to Sunday, Poland, together with the full European Union, will pass for winter time - clock tips will be withdrawn from 3:00 a.m. to 2:00 a.m. On Saturday, Deputy Prime Minister Władysław Kosiniak-Kamish (PSL) referred to this change.
"The change of time does not bring anything positive, only harm" - the Deputy Prime Minister assessed. In his opinion, "it is time to yet decision distant from unnecessary and harmful shifts of watches - and in Poland and throughout the EU!".
EU time regulations
The Directive in force since 2001 sets a common date and time for the start and end of the summertime period in all associate States. In Poland, the change of time is regulated by the Regulation of the president of the Council of Ministers on the introduction and cancellation of the Central European summertime time in the years 2022-2026.
In 2018, there was a chance to decision distant from moving watches all six months. The European Commission has proposed to abolish the change in time, and this proposal has been supported by the European Parliament, but the substance is stuck in the EU Council.
For the last time, the EU Council dealt with the issue in 2019. The difficulty was that countries had to communicate with each another and coordinate at which time - summertime or winter - they wanted to stay.
Poles against change
The poll of the Pollster investigation Institute published on Friday shows that 61 percent of Poles polled are against changes in time. Switching from summertime time to winter time and vice versa supports only 15 percent of the surveyed, and for 46 percent of the surveyed time changes do not matter.
A large number of respondents noticed the adverse effect of time changes on well-being. 51 percent believe that the change in time affects their regular functioning, and only 3 percent see a affirmative impact.
