(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. Therefore, it is appropriate to put an end in a coordinated way to summer-time arrangements.

(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. Moreover, in order to minimise disruptions, inter alia, to transport, communications and other concerned sectors, they should notify the Commission in due time of their intention toall conduct an impact assessment on changeing their standard time and subsequently apply the notified changest national level. The Commission should, on the basis of that notificationose impact assessments, inform all other Member States so that they can take all necessary measureabout the cross-border impact caused by differences between neighbouring countries on, inter alia, transport, communication and commerce as well as the attractiveness of the EU for foreign investments. It should also inform the general public and stakeholders by publishing this information.
