For 6 weeks in 2018 the EU ran a survey asking its citzens whether they want to the bi-annual clock change to stop. (Do you see it? I didn't). 4.6M (of the total population of around 448M) participated.
With the exception of Germany (3.19%), Austria (2.94%) and Luxembourg (1.78%) all other countries had less than 1% of their population canvassed.
The EU concludes that 84% of its population want Europe to stop changing the clocks[1].
The Commission proposed, the Parliament voted[2] (did you see that in any MSP election material? I didn't) and when the Council of Minsters approves, it will become law.
That is the sausage-making of the EU laws: canvass 1% of the population who you'll know will support your argument and claim your democratic mandate.
