Most countries beyond Europe and North America do not alter their clocks for summer time. Azerbaijan, Iran, Syria, Turkey, and Uruguay all ceased the practice of Daylight Saving Time in recent years.
Egypt abloshed the clock change in 2014 abut reintroduced it in 2022 for energy conservation purposes.
Russia modified its time regulations multiple times between 2011 and 2014, first opting for permanent summer time then shifting to winter time due to public feedback.
In the EU, discussions persisted regarding the elimination of clock adjustments, yet action on these proposals have not been legislated. There is also a plan t move all countries t Central European time. Ireland and Portugal use western European time, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Estonia, Finland, Greece, Latvia and Lithuania use Eastern European time.
Ireland has adjusted the clocks since 1916, when it was under English rule.
