But, thankfully, "Following that date, seasonal clock changes would no 
longer be possible".

I also note that "The Commission’s proposal will now go to the European 
Parliament and Council for agreement", so it will be a while before 
anything gets decided, and then a while longer before each member state 
announces whether they will be keeping permanent winter time or 
permanent summer time.

Didn't they read the bit of your submission about giving at least a 
year's notice?
