read_csv: European numbers do not work with dates

See original GitHub issue

Code Sample, a copy-pastable example if possible

Using the following reader leads to omission of the dates resulting in no index:

file_, index_col=0,
                   header=4, sep=';', quoting=1, parse_dates=True,
                   encoding='latin-1', dayfirst=True, 
#                   decimal=',', thousands='.'

Expected Output

dataframe with pyhon numeric data and datecol as index

output of pd.show_versions()


pd.show_versions()
