Madam, - Next Sunday winter time will come into operation. Personally, I would like to see a change to this system, since we accept winter time eight weeks before the shortest day of the year. I suggest that we consider returning to summer time eight weeks after December 21st.

I think we should have approximately the same duration of daylight in mid-February as we have on October 26th and therefore we would have only about 16 weeks of winter time each year. Perhaps our representatives in the European Parliament should put this matter up for discussion in Brussels. Common sense? - Yours, etc.,
