Under EU law, member states move clocks forward by one hour on the last Sunday of March and back by one hour on the last Sunday of October.
The European Parliament voted in 2019 to end the practice of changing clocks twice a year, leaving it to individual member states to decide whether to adopt permanent summer or winter time.
The proposal, however, has stalled amid opposition from some EU countries, Poland’s PAP news agency reported.
A recent survey by the Pollster Research Institute found that 61 percent of Poles oppose moving clocks forward in spring and back again in autumn.
Fifteen percent support the twice-a-year time shift.
More than half of respondents—51 percent—said the time changes negatively affect their daily functioning, while only 3 percent reported a positive impact.
Forty-six percent said the changes make no difference.
A 2019 poll by CBOS showed that 74 percent of Poles favoured adopting permanent summer time, while 14 percent supported keeping the current twice-a-year system.
Poland, an EU member since 2004, continues to follow the bloc’s daylight saving time regulations.
