Baltic transport ministers have discussed Lithuania’s proposal to stop seasonal time changes, LSM reports. Latvia’s outgoing Transport Minister, Atis Svinka, said that the Baltic ministers conceptually supported a transition to permanent summer time. He stressed that the Baltic States needed to have a unified position on the question, pointing to the example of the Estonian-Latvian twin town of Valga/Valka. At the same time, it was important for Estonia to maintain a single time zone with Finland, Svinka noted. Finland favours permanent winter time.
