I read that many European countries are considering the same move.
It's actually Finland that has been pushing to end daylight saving time through a citizens initiative. It was brought to the EU table and they would "look at it"

Finland is to begin lobbying to abolish daylight saving time after more than 70,000 Finns signed a petition calling for it to end.
Finnish EU ministers are taking the first steps towards formally petitioning the EU to stop the usage of daylight saving time, after a petition signed by some 70,000 Finns forced MPs to consider the idea.
According to the country's EU cabinet committee, Finnish representatives will try to speed up a commission survey of member states about their positions about the practice of adjusting clocks an hour ahead or back twice a year.
The committee said they hope to soon find out how the practice affects other member states, and emphasised that EU-wide consensus on the issue is vital.
Due to an EU-wide directive on daylight saving, Finland — or any other EU member states, for that matter — cannot independently stop the practice but must move together with the other 27 EU states.
