Morocco has implemented drastic new measures to stop the clock change.
The Moroccan government said the decision to stay on GMT + 1 would not only save an extra hour of natural light, but also reduce electricity consumption.
The North African nation was in the same time zone as the United Kingdom, while our clocks were set on the British summer time (BST).
Morocco joins several other countries, mainly from Africa and Asia, which do not change clock.
The move could be copied by other countries, including the United Kingdom.
The European Union said in August that it would recommend its members to abolish the clock change.
Following an online consultation, which received 4.6 million responses from 28 EU countries, the European Commission revealed that 84% wanted to abolish the clock change.
Jean-Claude Juncker said: "We have conducted an investigation.Millions of people have responded and think that in the future, the summer should be open all year, and that Is what will happen. "
Since 2002, the change of time, which takes place twice a year, is dictated by an EU directive.
Clock change has been seen as an advantage for cross-border businesses and transport links.
But a British campaign group said that staying in the BST all year round would be extremely beneficial.
They say it would reduce road accidents because road users could see better in the evening.
The call was launched following a new study by the RAC Foundation that revealed that the October annual clock change resulted in 20 more road accidents per day, resulting in injuries.
Police data from the last six years have shown that, within two weeks of returning clocks, there were an average of 278 more injury collisions than in the previous two weeks.
In total, 75% of these additional collisions take place in the afternoon, which becomes darker after the change.
AA issued a warning that thousands of cars with defective lights were a greater threat after the clock change.
George Flinton, patrolman of the AA year, said: "During the clearer summer months, many people simply ignore or notice the lighting problems of their car.
"When the clocks go back in the fall, other accidents happen when the blown-up cars suddenly come off the darker evenings.
"It's much harder for other road users to evaluate the width of these cars and they can easily be mistaken for a motorcycle."
