Fatemi: Changing the country's official watch helps reduce energy consumption and traffic

In a conversation with Mehr reporter, Ahmad Fatemi referred to the Cabinet's resolution on the submission of the country's official clock change bill and said: “In the previous parliament, the official clock change law was abolished and for this reason, there has been no change in the country's official clock for three years.”

He explained: Prior to this, the official clock of the country every year was one hour ahead of the first day of April and returned to the previous state at 9 pm September 30. But with the decision of the MPs, it has not been implemented in the country for three years now.

A member of the Social Committee of the Islamic Consultative Assembly on the new government bill to change the country's official clock, said: “The change of formal clock will definitely affect energy consumption, especially as it can reduce energy consumption in offices, production units and factories.”

The representative of the people of Babylon in the Islamic Consultative Assembly continued: Given the problem Natra Energy in the country, changing the formal clock can help solve this problem. Also, changing the country's official watch can lead to reduced traffic.

In response to a question about whether the bill had been submitted to parliament, he emphasized: No, the bill has not yet been submitted to the Islamic Consultative Assembly. Whenever the government bill is submitted to parliament to change the country's official watch, the matter will be discussed in specialized committees and then in the House of Representatives.
