(4) A lively public debate is taking place on summer-time arrangements and some Member States have already expressed their preference to discontinue the application of such arrangements. In the light of these developments, it is necessary to continue safeguarding the proper functioning of the internal market and to avoid any significant disruptions thereto caused by divergences between Member States in this area. TIt is therefore, it is appropriate to put an end in a coordinated way to summer-time arrangements essential that, under the codecision procedure for this Directive, summer-time arrangements not be ended until after Member States have agreed on a coordination mechanism. For determining standard time, that mechanism should take into account the EU's three existing time zones. The Council Presidency-in-Office has a key role to play in setting up the coordination mechanism.

(5) This Directive should not prejudice the right of each Member State to decide on the standard time or times for the territories under its jurisdiction and falling under the territorial scope of the Treaties, and on further changes thereto. However, in order to ensure that the application of summer-time arrangements by some Member States only does not disrupt the functioning of the internal market, Member States should refrain from changing the standard time in any given territory under their jurisdiction for reasons related to seasonal changes, be such change presented as a change of time zone.
