After the change, sunrise and sunset both come one hour earlier on the clock: mornings are lighter, and it gets dark an hour sooner in the evening.

All EU countries change on the same day at the same moment (01:00 UTC), together with the United Kingdom, Norway, Switzerland and most other European countries. Iceland, Belarus, Russia and Turkey stay on the same time all year. The EU has discussed ending the seasonal clock change, but no decision has been put into practice; the dates here follow the current rules.
