A general aim of European policy should be to harmonize cross-border practice in areas where it touches any important regional or cultural features.
example, there are within the European Union, three time zones, the rhythm of modern life, in economic cooperation, especially in transport and communications are often problems, contribute in any case largely unnecessary costs incurred. Straight in this difficult economic period for our European cultural space is to the claim are made, to emphasize the common and to organize effectively. At the same time pointed to a possibility to save and move closer to each other, without anyone should experience a significant disadvantage.
there is no doubt that arguments in favor of the time differences, with the solar system and the like deriving light and heat conditions are related. But it must be called into question whether this or other more individual factors are important enough to keep our time differences and time shifts up and to justify.
Russia recently conducted for the European territory for a time standardization. Similarly, is provided for the European Union to talk to merge not only the three time zones, but also the annual transition from summer to winter time and vice versa, again giving up.
is specifically proposed to determine the Central European summer time EUROPEAN WHOLE SEASON.
We invite European institutions, NGOs, media and other interested parties to take up this proposal and discuss.
HEURE EUROPÉENNE - HEURE UNIFIÉE
Heinz Wimpissinger, Secrétaire général de la Société européenne Coudenhove-Kalergi
La politique européenne devrait avoir pour but d'unifier et simplifier, au delà des frontières, des matières qui ne touchent pas à des particularités régionales ou culturelles importantes.
Ainsi l'existence de trois fuseaux horaires à l'intérieur de l'Union européenne cause souvent des problèmes dans le rythme de vie moderne, la coopération économique et notamment dans l'économie du trafic et de la communication, et en tout cas elle entraîne des frais largement inutiles. Dans l'actuelle phase difficile de la conjoncture on devrait viser à renforcer tout ce qui nous est commun dans l'espace culturel européen et de organize effectively. This would at the same time saving ways to approach and without any visible disadvantage for anyone.
Undoubtedly the different time zones are favored by the solar system and the conditions of light and heat. Now we must ask whether these factors or other factors over individual weigh enough to maintain and justify our differences and time differences.
Russia comes to realize the unification of time for the European territory. Likewise the debate is open for the European Union not only to unify the three time zones but also abandon the change from winter time and summer time.
We propose to determine a concrete European time for the whole year based on DST in Central Europe.
We invite the European institutions, NGOs, media and all who are interested to discuss this proposal and discuss it.
EUROPEAN TIME - UNIFORM TIME FOR EUROPE
Wimpissinger Heinz, Secretary General Of The European-Society-Coudenhove Kalergi
Europe should "liked to unify all elements of daily life Practical, if no significant regional or cultural Factors Affected are.
Within The European Union there are 3 time zones. These different time zones cause problems in the modern pace of life, in economic cooperation, particularly in transport and communications and frequently create unnecessary costs. Especially in today‘s difficult economic environment, the challenge for our European culture is to emphasize the common good and to organize it efficiently. At the same time, I would like to draw more attention to the opportunity we would do have - due to current common mindset - to reduce obstacles and administrative costs resulting from different time zones and to move closer together. Harmonising European time would simplify cross-border operations significantly.
No doubt, there are arguments in favour of time differences. They are related to the solar system and its light and heat conditions. However, are these or more individual factors important enough to justify our time differences and time shifts between summer and winter.
Russia has recently conducted a time standardization on its European territory. Similarly, Europe should look into a unification not only in relation to the 3 time zones, but also regarding the annual transition from summer to winter time.
Specifically, I would like to propose to determine the Central European summer time to become the European all year time.
European institutions, NGO’s, media and other interested parties are invited to endorse and discuss this proposal.
