The goal is to give more sun to the evening hours during the summer. It basically was introduced as an economic ploy for buisnesses that exploit the evening sun during the warmer months of the season. I think it was also argued that it cut down on electricity consumption after working hours, but that sounds a bit outragous.

Personally, I enjoy the light in the evening in the summer, I don't need sunlight in the morning when I'm off to work, I'd rather it after work when I can enjoy it.
