This sucks, not only will Greece not stay on summer time, we'll actually go to one hour back from winter time? So not only will we not get one more hour of daylight in the evening (ie stay on summer time), we'll actually get one hour less than we have now?

That's terrible.

Also, the Greek islands will have a different timezone from the Greek mainland? This must be a joke.

That must be an error, there's no way.

Same with Portugal, moving to Açores time seems bad, specially for working with the rest of Europe.

Portugal is already an hour behind the rest of Europe.

1 hour behind central, now would be 2 hours.

"central" today being both France and Germany — according to the proposal would be 2 hours behind Germany but still same 1hr behind France.

It's a proposal not a law
