Congress made a submission outlining its view that a harmonised system is critical. The achievements of the successive directives which created this harmonisation should not be lost. It would be wholly problematic for two time zones to exist on the island. These two factors were cited as significant reasons in the Steering Group decision; the report is available on this link
