DST may not be so stupid as it looks...

European Commission decided that Europe as a whole will end with moving clocks twice a year.
It seems reasonable, but...
If whole Europe will stay in given time offsets and will decide to use Summer Time, this means that when in Poland in Kraków on beginning of year we will have sunrise about 8:30, in Spain in Vigo it will be about 10:00....
Now for Kraków in Poland thanks to moving clocks it is about 7:30 and in Vigo about 9:00....

OK, so maybe Europe should move to Winter Time, so "standard time without DST".
It would mean that in Kraków in the middle of July sun would rise at 3:30....

DST/moving clocks lets now to keep the same time zone in many countries in EU, question is if it will be true after we will resign from it? ;-)
