- Adopted text TA8-0225/2019: Parliament's amended version of a proposed directive would end seasonal clock changes across the Union and repeal Directive 2000/84/EC.
- Report A8-0169/2019: Parliament's amended version of a proposed directive discontinuing seasonal changes of time and repealing Directive 2000/84/EC. It ends the biannual clock change, lets each member state keep its own standard time, and sets up a coordination mechanism to avoid disruption to the internal market.
- Draft report (TRAN): The rapporteur's draft report responds to the Commission proposal to end seasonal clock changes and repeal Directive 2000/84/EC. It supports ending the biannual change but replaces the fixed 2019 date with a two-year transition after entry into force.
