“Time to stop asking about our watches”
“Marita Ulvskog: Eliminate clock-shifts between summer and winter, but coordinate between neighbouring countries.”
“This is an opinion piece. It is the writer who stands for the views that are put forward in the text, not Against.”
“the DEBATE. Today, at the winter solstice, it is at its darkest. Only seven hours of light in Skåne, six in Stockholm and darkness throughout the day in Kiruna.”
“the Number of ljustimmar we decide not over. But when they are during the day, we check by asking if between summer and winter time.”
“It’s a clock-shifts that are causing problems. People feel bad. For many it takes weeks for the body to adjust. With the disturbed circadian rhythms also increases the sleeping disorder and fatigue, which makes your mood to deteriorate.”
“People are affected differently hard, but especially to children and the elderly usually have a hard time putting on the time.”
“in Addition to the human health is affected negatively, does time also problems in agriculture and for animals. At the same time, you see today is no longer the clear advantages in, for example, the energy sector, which was the original motive to introduce the time.”
“That norrbottning, previous accommodation in the Valleys and now hemhörande in Stockholm, I am well aware of how big differences we have in Sweden. That is why I am glad I got the responsibility for the work of the european Parliament to evaluate the sommartidens be or not to be.”
“it’s high Time that we abolished the transition between summer and winter time”
“two days ago was my proposal clear: I think it is time that we abolished the transition between summer and winter time.”
“During my ten years in the european Parliament, I have received countless letters and emails from swedes who describe how bad they feel every time it is time to change the time.nthese engaged citizens in Sweden, and particularly in Finland, has for many years driven a campaign to abolish the time. “
“Because it is the EU rules that govern if we are going to ask about the time or not, requires a decision by the EU to change it.”
“Although I stand behind the proposal to abolish the time, I also believe that it should be up to each country to choose the default, or, in practice, the time zone, which fits the best. It is the same principle that applies today.”
“However, the EU must coordinate with their neighbours any time they choose. To eliminate time must also be done in an organized manner. We can’t have a patchwork of different times, in different countries around the EU. Then would our transportation system quickly cease to function.”
“Every day starts or lands around 28 000 flights in the EU airports. Aircraft which are fully loaded with passengers and goods. The airline industry is also among the most vulnerable to the unplanned time change. Each delayed minute means high costs for both the airline and for passengers who may miss connecting flights.”
“It is also not reasonable, for example, 13 000 Swedish dagpendlare to Denmark to ”lose” hours on the way to and from work each day. Not to mention the digital reality we live in. Today, we are in the highest degree connected to one or another information system.”
“Hope 2021 is the last year we set about the clock between summer and winter time”
“For all industries and businesses should be able to set about – planning and programming – without too high a cost, and without creating chaos for all of us, it requires a reasonable transition period.”
“I think that two years is a reasonable time to give everyone time to adapt. I hope, therefore, that in the year 2021 is the last year we set about the clock between summer and winter time.”
“My goal is that the Parliament shall decide not later than march 2019. Then it is up to the EU member states to decide how they want it. Hopefully they’re listening to their citizens.”
“Until at least we have more daylight to look forward to until the summer. For each day we approach, we get almost 3.5 minutes of additional light.”
