It should have ended years ago. It costs money, but worse, it also kills people.

The EU has decided to drop the switch, and asked the members to decide whether they want to stay at CET (Central Europen Time) or CEST (Central European Summer Time). That was many years ago. Nothing happened.

Something did happen. Everyone started arguing about which time we should stay at.
And they won't ever agree, because "daylight savings" time is more popular, but all the science and experience shows that standard time is better for everyone.
