The news is not correct. Member states cannot chose to keep the daylight savings, but they will have to choose between keeping the summer time or winter time. This is to ensure uniform time keeping in the union to reduce trade costs.

quote:

"Consequently, the Commission proposes to discontinue the seasonal time changes in the Union, while ensuring that Member States retain the competence to decide on their standard time, in particular whether they will move to the standard time corresponding to their summer-time on a permanent basis or whether they will apply their current standard time permanently.
