Summer-time arrangements: 8th Directive

In adopting the report by Mr Spalato BELLERE (NI, I), Parliament approved the proposal for an Eighth Directive on the harmonization of summer-time arrangements, but leaving the Member States the option of not introducing it. In its amendments Parliament stipulated that summer-time dates are valid in each Member State 'where summer-time is applied'. It also called on the Commission to ensure that time differences between adjoining Member States do not exceed one hour. �
