The article didn't say it would be Summer-Time (Daylight-Saving Time) all year, though the title seemed to imply that. The article said that it would be Summer-Time all year, or else Winter-Time all year. And it said that Summer-Time all year is more popular and will probably happen in most countries (Each country will be able to choose for itself whether to have all-year Summer-Time or all-year Winter-Time.)
All year Daylight-Saving Time (Summer-Time) would be a great idea. In Europe, and also in the U.S. 1. Keeping the clocks on DST would put our civil schedules more in time with nature's time. ...more with the Sun. Artificial lighting has moved us away from Sun time, and DST at least partly moves us back to what's more natural. And being more in time with the Sun also means that there are more hours of sunshine while people are up and out and about. 2, Earlier is better. 3. Being out when it's dark is a lot safer in the morning than in the evening. Less traffic. Fewer muggers and assaulters on the street. (Mostly, in the morning, you encounter only people who get up early, not people who stay up and hang-out late.)
