INTRODUCTION

The current Standard Eurobarometer was carried out between 27 March and 1 May 2006. This wave of the Standard Eurobarometer, Eurobarometer 65, reflects the public opinion of Europeans who are experiencing an improving economic climate. This Standard Eurobarometer covers 30 countries or territories: the 25 Member States, the two acceding countries (Bulgaria and Romania), the two candidate countries (Croatia and Turkey) and the Turkish Cypriot Community. It was commissioned by the Directorate-General Communication of the European Commission and was carried out by TNS Opinion & Social, a consortium formed by TNS and EOS Gallup Europe. The methodology used is that of the Standard Eurobarometer surveys of the Directorate-General Communication (“Public Opinion and Media Monitoring” Unit). A technical note concerning the interviews, carried out by the institutes of the TNS Opinion & Social network, is annexed to this report. This note specifies the interview method used, as well as the confidence intervals1. This report studies successively the major themes related to the European Union and its construction.

♦ First of all, we shall focus on the current and future life in the European Union as perceived by European Union citizens, looking at personal, economic and political issues.

♦ In the second part of this report, we examine the relationship between the

European Union and its citizens. We firstly look at European democracy and identity. Then, the core indicators of the Eurobarometer are presented and an analysis of what citizens think about the European institutions is provided. This part also reports on the level of knowledge and information of citizens.

♦ The third part of this report focuses on the role currently played by the

European Union in various areas and analyses which of these areas are seen as priorities by citizens. The chapter then deals more specifically with public opinion regarding a number of current policy areas, namely the common security and defence policy, the common foreign policy and the single currency.

♦ Lastly, we focus on the future of the European Union: what kind of Europe do

people want in the future and what are their fears? We also examine more specifically the opinions of European citizens concerning the future of the Constitution and further enlargement.

1 The results tables are included in the annex. The totals indicated may show a one point difference with the sum of the individual units. It should also be noted that the total of the percentages in the tables of this report may exceed 100% when the respondent has the possibility to give several answers to the same question.

EUROBAROMETER 65 Report

- 5 -

In this report, we analyse the results and changes at three levels: firstly, the average of the 25 European Union Member States; secondly, the average of the former EU15 group, the ten new Member States and the four accession and candidate countries; and, thirdly, the averages at national level. The averages for previous years represent the results obtained for all Member States of the European Union as it was composed at the time those surveys were conducted. A brief comment is also made on the way the responses vary according to certain socio-demographic characteristics of the respondents (gender, age, etc), as well as certain other indicators, such as their attitude to the European Union, whether they see themselves as opinion leaders2 and their political leanings3.

We wish to thank all the Europeans who have participated in the Eurobarometer survey over the years.

Without them, this report would not have been possible.

2 INDEX OPINION LEADERSHIP: 1. ++; 2. +; 3. -; 4. - - QA1. When you get together with friends, would you say you discuss political matters frequently, occasionally, or never? QA2. When you hold a strong opinion, do you ever find yourself persuading your friends, relatives or fellow workers to share your views? Does this happen...? Frequently – Occasionally - Never Thus, if a person interviewed tries often or from time to time to convince his or her interlocutor or discusses politics on a regular basis, he or she will be considered as a leader of opinion falling in category 1 (++). On the other hand, if a respondent rarely or never tries to convince his or her interlocutor and never discusses politics, then he or she will be considered as being a leader of opinion falling in category 4 --. 3 In political matters people talk of "the left" and "the right". How would you place your views on this scale? (1-4) Left; (5-6) Center; (7-10) Right

I. LIFE IN THE EUROPEAN UNION This introductory part of the report sets the context in which public opinion towards the European Union needs to be interpreted. The results of questions that examine the following issues are analysed: 1) Personal aspects: Life satisfaction, quality of life, peoples’ financial situation, past

and future expectations and peoples’ main concerns;

2) Economic and social aspects: The current state of play, short- and long-term future expectations and comparisons of national economies with the European average and the European economy with other world economies;

3) Political aspects: Satisfaction with democracy, trust in institutions and the meaning of a number of political concepts.

1. Personal aspects In this first chapter, we focus on aspects which relate to the private sphere of life: what is the state of mind of Europeans at the beginning of 2006 and what are their expectations and main concerns for the coming year. 1.1. Current personal situation of Europeans

- Life satisfaction remains high - The proportion of European citizens who are satisfied with the life that they lead shows little change over time. On the whole, the vast majority of people in the European Union remain satisfied with the life that they lead (81%)4.

Despite this broad consensus, life satisfaction varies somewhat depending on peoples’ socio-demographic characteristics. The youngest European citizens distinguish themselves from their older counterparts in that they are more likely to feel satisfied with the life they lead. Levels of satisfaction are particularly widespread among students (91%). The propensity to be satisfied with one’s life increases with the level of education. While 74% of respondents having studied up to the age of 15 are satisfied, the corresponding percentage among those who studied up to the age of 20 and over is 87%. Furthermore, there are differences depending on peoples’ occupation and whether or not they work. Nearly all managers are satisfied with the life they lead (93%), a finding that contrasts starkly with the 60% score obtained for unemployed Europeans. Lastly, household size plays a role: persons interviewed who live alone tend to be less satisfied with their life in general than those living in a household composed of several persons. 4 QA3. On the whole, are you very satisfied, fairly satisfied, not very satisfied or not at all satisfied with the life you lead?

In addition to socio-demographic differences, satisfaction levels vary considerably from one country to the other. On average, people in the former EU15 group tend to be more satisfied with the life they lead (83%) than citizens of the NMS (70%). The individual country results show that in Denmark, the Netherlands, Finland, Sweden, Ireland, Luxembourg and Belgium, more than 9 out of 10 people are satisfied with their life in general. Danish respondents are once again particularly content, with two-thirds of them saying they are “very satisfied” with their life (66%). In all the other countries, this most positive sentiment is expressed by fewer than 50% of respondents. On the other hand, 46% of citizens in Hungary and 45% of citizens in Portugal are not satisfied with the life they lead and, in Latvia and Lithuania, this holds for 4 out of 10 citizens. A sharp contrast is evident between the two accession countries, on the one hand, and the two candidate countries, on the other. Whilst around 7 out of 10 persons interviewed in Turkey (70%) and Croatia (69%) are satisfied with their life, a majority of respondents in Romania (56%) and, above all, in Bulgaria (73%) are dissatisfied with their life at the current time.

- Majority of EU citizens are positive about their quality of life and their

financial situation - As in spring 2005, over three-quarters of Europeans judge their current quality of life as being very or fairly good (77%) and two out of three are happy with their financial situation (65%)5.

As with life satisfaction, peoples’ assessment of their quality of life strongly depends on their age, the age at which they finished education and their occupation. The size of their household plays a less significant role.

5 QC1. How would you judge the current situation in each of the following ? Very good, rather good, rather bad of very bad.

As one would expect, peoples’ assessment of their quality of life is closely related to their assessment of their life in general. Almost all citizens who are satisfied with their life find that their quality of life is also good while only 13% think it is bad.

Quality of life Good Bad DK

EU25 77% 22% 2%

Life satisfaction Satisfied 86% 13% 2%

Not satisfied 36% 62% 2%

A further confirmation of the strong correlation between the two indicators is the country pattern which is very similar to that concerning life satisfaction in general. More than 9 out of 10 people in Finland, Denmark, the Netherlands, Ireland, Luxembourg and Sweden find that their quality of life is good. Danish respondents are particularly content, with 57% finding their quality of life “very good”. At the opposite end of the scale, we find the lowest scores in Hungary, Slovakia, Latvia and, particularly, Portugal. In the AC/CC citizens are very critical of their quality of life, particularly so in the two accession countries where just over one respondent in ten rates his/her quality of life positively.

Analysis of the current financial situation of Europeans shows that peoples’ assessment does not vary depending on their gender or age, but that education and occupation are, quite logically, important determinants.

Peoples’ assessment of their current financial situation also correlates with life satisfaction. 74% of citizens who are satisfied with their life find that their financial situation is good and only 24% think it is bad. Conversely, 71% of citizens who are not satisfied with the life they lead find their financial situation bad and only 26% judge it as good. Not surprisingly, the highest proportions of people who assess their financial situation positively live in the countries with the highest proportions of people who are satisfied with their life in general: Denmark, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Finland, Sweden and Ireland. Once again an above-average proportion of Danish respondents chose the “very good” response category (31% vs. 7% for EU25). This is, however, less extreme than the similar pattern noted for life in general in Denmark. Equally, the lowest proportions of people who assess their financial situation positively, live in Portugal (40%), which is also the country with the second lowest portion of people who are satisfied with their life in general within the EU.

The majority of citizens in the accession and candidate countries are unhappy about their financial situation. This is particularly so in Bulgaria, where only 16% of citizens find that their current financial situation is good.

1.2. Changes in the personal situation

- Public opinion remains divided about the evolution of their situation over the past five years but optimistic about the future -

As in autumn 2005, respondents are divided when they compare their current personal situation with that of five years ago: 36% believe that it has improved, 34% that it has not changed and 29% that it has deteriorated6. There is a strong correlation between age and the way in which citizens perceive changes in their situation over the last five years: the younger they are the more European citizens have a positive view of the way their life has changed. 53% of people aged 15 to 24 consider that their personal situation has improved, while only 18% of the 55 and over age group share that view. Among the oldest group of respondents, more or less similar proportions consider that their situation is the same (42%) or has deteriorated (39%).

The development of peoples’ personal situation during the past five years is most positively perceived in Ireland (63%), Estonia (62%), Sweden (60%) and Denmark (59%). On the other hand, in Greece (52%) and Portugal (51%), just over half consider that their current situation is now worse than it was five years ago. As regards the accession and candidate countries, only 11% of those interviewed in Bulgaria consider that their situation has improved over the last five years, while 50% believe that it has deteriorated. In the other three countries, the past five years are more positively perceived, particularly so in Turkey, where 41% feel their situation has improved.

When it comes to prospects for the next five years, more than half of the citizens in Ireland (54%), Estonia (53%), Sweden (52%), Latvia, the United Kingdom and Portugal (all 51%) are optimistic. Moreover, around one respondent in two sees his/her situation as remaining the same in Austria (57%), Luxembourg (50%), Belgium and Slovenia (both 48%), and Finland (47%). The feeling that ones personal situation will deteriorate over the next five years is highest in Greece (30%) and Germany (25%), unveiling a degree of pessimism in these two countries that is significantly more intense than in the other countries. In the accession and candidate countries, Romanian citizens are most optimistic about the future with 52% believing that their personal situation will improve over the next five years. This is far higher than in the other countries within this group, with only 39% of citizens in Croatia and Turkey sharing this optimistic outlook and 28% of citizens in Bulgaria holding the same attitude about the future.

1.3. Future expectations

- Europeans are optimistic about their future personal situation -

The most positive expectation concerns life in general: 35% of respondents believe that it will improve over the next twelve months, while 51% do not expect any changes and only 12% believe that it will worsen. These results do not differ significantly from those obtained last autumn8. European citizens are also relatively optimistic about the financial situation of their household and their personal job situation. Nonetheless, a substantial minority (19%) believes that the financial situation of their household will worsen over the next twelve months.

In most countries, citizens with optimistic expectations for the next twelve months outnumber those with pessimistic expectations for all three aspects. The highest levels of optimism are found in Ireland, Sweden, Estonia, Denmark and the UK. Although more than half of the citizens in Portugal (51%) are optimistic about their personal prospects for the next five years9, it is the only Member State where for all three specific aspects negative forecasts are more numerous than positive forecasts. People in Bulgaria are also more likely to hold pessimistic rather than optimistic expectations for all three aspects, though not as extensively as in Portugal. In Germany, Greece, Slovakia, Cyprus and Malta negative opinions about the prospects for the financial situation of their household are more widespread than positive opinions.

Although the mood is slightly less favourable than it was in 2005, European citizens remain generally very optimistic about the prospects for their quality of life: one citizen in two believes that it will be better in five years and one citizen in five believes it will remain identical. However, 22% of citizens fear that their quality of life will be “less good” in five years’ time10.

On average, people living in the ten new Member States are more inclined to believe their quality of life will be better in five years than their counterparts are in the former EU15 nations (57% vs. 48%). Optimism is most widespread in Estonia (69%), Latvia and Lithuania (both 67%). Other countries where more than six out of ten respondents are optimistic are Sweden (66%), Denmark (65%), Ireland and Finland (both 64%). Luxembourg stands out as being the only country where people with negative expectations outnumber those with positive expectations (42% vs. 29%). No more than a quarter of people in any of the other Member States hold negative expectations when it comes to quality of life. In Croatia, Bulgaria and Romania, the majority view is that quality of life will be better in five years than it is now. However, in Turkey, a significant minority believes that quality of life will be less good (31%).

1.4. The main concerns of European citizens

- Unemployment remains the key issue - Close to half of all respondents see unemployment as one of the two most important issues facing their country (49%), making it, once again, the main worry among citizens - even more so than was the case in autumn 200511. At 63%, concerns about unemployment continue to affect a much broader spectrum of the population in the new Member States than is the case in the former EU15 (46%). Crime is the second most frequently mentioned concern. At 24%, this score has stayed stable since the previous survey. In the fifteen old Member States, the extent to which this is a concern ranges from 12% in Germany and Luxembourg to 54% in Ireland. In the new Member States, concern is most widespread in Cyprus (49%) and least widespread in Slovenia (9%). The economic situation is now the third most frequently cited issue of concern whereas, in autumn 2005, it was the second most frequently mentioned issue. The intensity of concern about this problem has gone down from 26% in autumn 2005 to 23% in this latest survey. In the new Member States, the perception that the economic situation is one of the two most important issues receives somewhat broader accord than in the former EU15 countries (27% vs. 22%). The healthcare system, immigration, inflation, terrorism and pensions form a second group of concerns with scores ranging between 18% and 10%. In comparison to autumn 2005, concerns about inflation have gone down from 17% to 13%.

11 QA28a+b. The question “What do you think are the two most important issues facing (OUR COUNTRY) at the moment?” was asked as a split ballot. In split ballot A, respondents were, as in previous surveys, shown a card listing the possible concerns of which they could choose two. In split ballot B, respondents were not shown a card and their answers were completely spontaneous. The items covered the intensity of the answers and the ranking order is almost the same for the two ballots. For purposes of comparison, the results of split ballot A are presented in this report.

In the new Member States, nearly twice as many respondents than in the former EU15 voiced concern about the healthcare system (30% vs. 16%).

2. Economic and social aspects This chapter illustrates the current climate of opinion concerning the economy, social welfare and the environment as well as future expectations related to these topics. 2.1. State of play

- Only one European in four is positive about the current employment situation in his or her country -

The employment situation at national level is still the area where European Union citizens are most negative12. Only around one European Union citizen in four believes that the employment situation in his or her country is good while three out of four feel that it is bad. In comparison with spring 2005, however, public opinion about the national employment situation is somewhat less pessimistic.

The national economic situation is also perceived negatively by the majority of respondents, even if the percentage of favourable responses has increased by 5 points since the previous survey. 56% of respondents consider that the economic situation in their country is bad, while 41% take the opposite view. Once again, public opinion about the economic situation at national level differs considerably from that at the European level, since 53% of respondents consider that the situation of the European Union economy is good compared with 32% who have a negative view. Opinions on social protection and the environmental situation have remained stable since the previous survey. More than half of the citizens interviewed consider that the environmental situation in their country is good (52%). Opinions are divided on the question of social protection, with equal proportions of those interviewed having a positive opinion and a negative opinion.

As regards the national employment situation, there are large differences between the Member States. While more than eight out of ten Danish and Irish citizens believe the employment situation in their country is good (88% and 85%, respectively), nearly all citizens in Germany (97%), France (96%), Greece (94%), Slovakia (94%), Portugal (93%) and Poland (92%) believe the employment situation in their country is poor. In the accession and candidate countries, the evaluation of the national employment situation is negative. Pessimism is particularly extensive in Croatia, where 97% of the public regards the situation as bad, and in Bulgaria and Romania where 90% shares this view. The mood in Turkey is slightly less negative: 21% find the employment situation good and 70% find it bad.

Source : Eurobarometer 65 - Spring 2006

Compared with spring 2005, public opinion is now significantly different in a number of countries. The mood is far more optimistic in the Netherlands (+21 point increase in percentage of “good” responses), Denmark (+20 points), Estonia (+18 points), Lithuania (+14 points), Finland (+11 points), Belgium (+10 points), Hungary (+9 points) and Sweden (+8 points). Luxembourg is the only country where public opinion about the national employment situation is now significantly less positive than it was in spring 2005, with a decrease of 17 points recorded in the percentage of people who regard the national employment situation as good. The results are relatively homogeneous from a socio-demographic point of view. However, the unemployed are, not surprisingly, the most negative with 87% of this group assessing their national employment situation as bad.

Differences also exist between the Member States in peoples’ assessment of the current economic situation in their country. Confidence is particularly high in Denmark (good: 98%) and Ireland (92%) followed by Finland (82%) and Sweden (79%). On the other hand, and largely in line with the situation noted with regard to employment, citizens in Portugal (bad: 93%), Greece (89%), France (82%) and Slovakia (79%) are very negative in this regard. In the accession and candidate countries, citizens’ evaluation of the current economic situation is also very much in line with the perceived employment situation.

In most countries, changes since the previous survey in the perceived national economic situation match those observed for the employment situation. This is, however, not the case in Germany, where the perception of the employment situation remains very negative although views about the economic situation have improved significantly (+19 points to 37%). The situation as regards social protection is judged to be most favourable in Finland (86%), Denmark and Luxembourg (both 80%). The situation is seen as most problematic in Slovakia and Latvia where more than eight out of ten citizens find it bad (83% and 82%, respectively). Citizens in the two accession countries are even more negative: less than one person in ten in Bulgaria and Romania believes the social welfare situation is good (9%). In the candidate countries, views are more optimistic in Turkey than in Croatia (24% and 16%, respectively).

The environmental situation is perceived favourably by nine out of ten Finnish citizens, followed by close to eight out of ten Danish citizens (79%). The situation is criticised most of all by respondents in Hungary (73% of negative responses) and Slovakia (71%). However, the percentage of negative replies in Hungary has fallen by 7 points since spring 2005. Of the accession countries and the candidate countries, public opinion is most favourable in Croatia, where 51% consider the situation of the environment as good. In Romania, Bulgaria and Turkey a large majority of citizens judges the environmental situation in their country as being bad.

Citizens with optimistic expectations for the next twelve months outnumber those with pessimistic expectations in Denmark, Estonia, Ireland, Lithuania, the Netherlands and Sweden. At the same time, in Portugal, Greece and Luxembourg, more than half of the respondents believe that both the economic situation and the employment situation in their country will get worse in the next twelve months. Expectations in the accession and candidate countries concerning economic and employment developments are quite similar: the majority view is that the national situation will get worse. However, this is not the case in Turkey where the outlook is somewhat more optimistic.

2.2.2. Long term expectations Fewer than half of European Union citizens believe the national economic and employment situation will be better in five years time14. In line with short-term expectations, over a third of Europeans fear that the economy and the employment situation in their country will be less good15. The public is generally quite optimistic about the situation of the European economy, with more than half expecting it to be better in five years.

Regarding long-term expectations, the mood is most upbeat in Lithuania, Estonia, Latvia and the Netherlands, where positive scores for all three indicators are highest. The mood is much less upbeat in Luxembourg as people lack faith not just in terms of the national situation but also when it comes to the European economy. In Greece, long term expectations are also negative although the majority expresses confidence in the developments of the European economy. In Portugal, the concerns of people seem to be predominantly short-term as their feelings about long-term developments are somewhat less pessimistic. In the AC/CC countries, we see that whereas Turkish citizens are more optimistic about short-term developments compared to their three counterparts, the opposite holds for the long term.

14 QC3. According to you, in five years, will the situation in each of the following domains be better or less good than it is now ? 15 Readers should bear in mind that the answer categories for the question measuring short-term expectations (QA4) includes a ‘same’ option while this answer could only be given spontaneously for the question measuring long-term expectations (QC3).

A certain degree of homogeneity exists among the Member States in terms of peoples’ expectations about the environmental situation in their country in five years. In all the Member States except Luxembourg, citizens tend to expect the situation in this area to improve rather than deteriorate over the next 5 years. However, the intensity of positive expectations varies significantly and ranges from 32% in Luxembourg, where the public is divided, to 70% in Lithuania. In the accession and candidate countries, citizens also tend to expect the environment to improve rather than deteriorate over the next 5 years. The intensity of this view is least pronounced in Turkey (42%) and most pronounced in Croatia (59%). Peoples’ expectations about developments in the area of social welfare are widely optimistic in Lithuania (71%), Estonia (70%) and Latvia (65%). Conversely, in Germany and the Netherlands, more than half of the people believe the social welfare situation will be less good in their country in five years (56% and 54%, respectively). The state of opinion noted above regarding the expected development of the environmental situation in AC/CC countries also applies in the main to these citizens’ expectations for social welfare in five years time.

There is an overwhelming feeling among citizens in Denmark (92%), Luxembourg (90%), Ireland and Finland (both 81%) that their country’s economy is in a better state than that of the average for the EU whereas in Portugal (5%), Greece (7%), Malta (8%), Latvia and Slovakia (both 9%) less than one citizen in ten feels this way when comparing their country’s situation with the average of European Union countries. In the two accession countries, close to nine out of ten people feel that the state of their national economy is less good than that of the European Union. The same applies to Croatia, whereas in Turkey a significant minority feels that the Turkish economy is better than that of the European Union (21%). Compared with spring 2005, a number of countries have seen a significant increase in the percentage of people believing the national economy performs better than average. These are: the Netherlands (+15 points), Germany (+11 points), Hungary (+7 points), Poland (+6 points), Estonia, the Czech Republic, Italy and Sweden (all +5 points). The reverse is the case in France (-11 points) and Luxembourg (-5 points). Looking next at peoples’ assessment of the employment situation in their country we see that an overwhelming majority of Danish citizens perceive the situation in their country as better than the average of the European Union countries (90%). The exact opposite holds for Greece, where nine out of ten citizens feel that the employment situation in their country is less good than the average of the European Union countries.

The percentage of people who rate the employment situation in their country as better than that of the average of the European Union countries has increased in the Netherlands (+11 points), Lithuania (+9 points), Estonia (+8 points) and Denmark (+4 points). Meanwhile, in Luxembourg, citizens are now less positive (-10 points), a shift in line with an actual increase in unemployment levels (from 4.4% to 4.7%)18. However, in France, unemployment has fallen (from 9.7% to 8.8%) but this has not resulted in more optimism amongst the public. Only 18% of French citizens now believe their country’s employment situation is better than the EU average, compared with 26% in spring 2005. The dissonant cases of France and Luxembourg suggest that the perception of the European public does not always match the reality of economic statistics. We explore this further through a comparison of the results of this survey with the official unemployment rate of each of the Member States.

18 Unemployment rates for the European Union (used here and this page and on the graph next page) , with exception of Sweden, from EUROSTAT 2006 (http://epp.eurostat.ec.europa.eu/portal/page?_pageid=1996,45323734&_dad=portal&_schema=PORTAL&screen=welcomeref&open=/&product=EUROIND_LM&depth=2) Unemployment figures for Sweden from EUROSTAT €uro-indicators – Rate of unemployment in the euro zone in August 2005 – News release published on 2nd August 2005.

The chart below illustrates the results of this comparison. The X-axis represents the differential in percentage points - in each country - between people who consider that the employment situation in their country is better than the European Union average and those who believe the opposite. Countries where public opinion on employment rates is positive are found on the right-hand side and the pessimistic ones on the left-hand side of the graph. The Y-axis represents the national unemployment rate, in percentages, as published by Eurostat. The higher the official unemployment rate, the higher the country is found in the graph.

This comparison shows that in Poland, Slovakia, Greece, Denmark, Luxembourg, Ireland and the Netherlands, the employment situation described by respondents (X-axis) is most in line with their countries’ actual state of employment (Y-axis). However, in the countries depicted in the lower left hand quadrant of the graph and Belgium which is in the upper right hand quadrant of the graph, perception and reality do not quite match. In Belgium, the perceived employment situation appears slightly better than it is according to official statistics, and in the countries in the lower left hand quadrant, the situation is considered to be worse than it is in reality.

2.3.2. European economic performance compared with that of other world economies Opinions of European citizens about the performance of the European economy in comparison with that of other world economies have changed significantly since the previous survey19.

- Citizens are beginning to see the strength of the emerging economies - The majority view is no longer that the European economy performs better than the Chinese economy: 29% of respondents believe that the European economy is performing better (-11 points) and 40% believe that its performance is poorer than the Chinese economy (+9 points). The rapid growth of the Indian economy is also finally being recognised. Although the view that the European economy performs better remains the most popular, a real shift in public opinion has taken place: 46% of respondents believe that the European economy is performing better, down from 60% in autumn 2005, and 20% think that it is performing less well than the Indian economy, up from 15% since the previous survey.

The survey also shows that Europeans are now slightly less upbeat about European economic performance in comparison with that of the United States and Japan. The proportion who feels that the European economy is performing worse than that of Japan has increased from 45% to 48% and for the United States the figures have risen from 37% to 40%. An analysis of opinions by country highlights certain exceptions:

♦ At least half of citizens in Finland, Denmark and the Netherlands consider that the European economy is more dynamic than that of the United States. Conversely, in France 58% of citizens feel that the European economy is performing worse than that of the U.S.

♦ In the candidate and accession countries, Turkish citizens remain more

enthusiastic as regards the economic performance of the European Union compared with the United States and Japan.

2.4. Priorities to improve the European Union’s economic performance

- Strongest support for a knowledge-based economy -

Improving education and vocational training (62%, +4 points) remains the top priority of citizens. For close to half of European citizens investing in research and innovation (47%, +4 points) and facilitating the creation of companies (43%, +1 point) are priority areas of action to improve the performance of the European Union’s economy. With the continuing media attention on future energy shortages, more and more citizens want to prioritise the more efficient use of energy as a means of improving the European economy (32%, +6 points). Around a quarter of the public believes that investing in transport infrastructure should be a priority (23%, + 4 points) but only around one citizen in ten regards increasing the legal number of working hours as a priority (10%, +1 point) 20.

20 QC5. Which of the following statements would you prioritise to improve the performance of the European economy? (Maximum 3 answers possible)

EUROBAROMETER 65 Report

- 43 -

The following key conclusions can be drawn from the analyses of the national results:

♦ In nearly all Member States, improving education and professional training is the most popular action, particularly so in Denmark (80%), Greece and the Netherlands (both 75%), and France (74%). At 50%, the proportion of people who regard this action as a priority is lowest in Italy and Poland.

♦ Slovenia is the only country where investing in research and innovation is the

most popular action (69%). However, many people in Denmark (71%) and Germany (65%) also believe this should be a priority. At 27%, people in Latvia are least inclined to see this action as a priority to improve the European economy.

♦ In Greece, Sweden and France around two-thirds of the citizens believe that

facilitating the creation of companies is a priority, a view that is shared by only 11% of people in the United Kingdom.

♦ In autumn 2005, Cyprus was the only country where more than half of the

citizens considered using energy more efficiently as a priority but this has gone down to 39%. Now, the United Kingdom is the only country where more than half view it as a priority (52%). At 12%, Poland has the lowest proportion of citizens who hold this view.

♦ The view that investing in transport infrastructure should be a priority is most

widespread in Slovakia (50%), the Czech Republic (43%) and the Netherlands (42%). It is least widespread in Denmark, Spain and France (all 14%).

♦ People in France and Portugal continue to attach higher than average

importance to the idea of improving the performance of the European economy by increasing the length of the working week (23% and 20%, respectively).

♦ In the accession and candidate countries, the proportion of people without an

opinion is above average, particularly so in Turkey (37%) and Bulgaria (26%). In all four countries, the most popular action is to improve education and vocational training.

3. Political aspects In this chapter, we discuss the state of democracy in Europe and, in relation to this, peoples’ trust in institutions and organisations and their associations with a number of political concepts. 3.1. Satisfaction with the way democracy works in the Member States

- Majority of citizens are satisfied with the way democracy works at a national level -

On average, 56% of respondents state that they are satisfied with the way democracy works in their own country21. This is 3 points higher than the level that was recorded in spring 2005. The results obtained for this aspect in the former EU15 and those in the 10 new Member States differ strongly. However, the gap between old and new Member States is now less extreme than it was one year ago (17 points compared to 24 points), suggesting significant improvements in a number of new Member States.

Satisfaction levels are highest in the old Member States with more than 9 out of 10 Danish citizens expressing satisfaction (93%) and more than 8 out of 10 citizens in Luxembourg sharing this view (83%). At the other extreme, we find that only 23% of people in Lithuania and 25% of people in Slovakia are satisfied with the way democracy works in their country. With the exception of Turkey (50% satisfied), people in the AC/CC countries are also not very likely to feel satisfied. Less than three out of ten Croatians, Bulgarians (both 22%) and Romanians (27%) are satisfied with the way democracy works in their country.

21 QA34a. On the whole, are you very satisfied, fairly satisfied, not very satisfied or not at all satisfied with the way democracy works in (OUR COUNTRY)?

♦ Satisfaction levels have improved (i.e. increases in satisfaction levels of 3 points or more which are accompanied by decreases of 3 points or more in the percentage of people who are not satisfied) in Hungary, Italy, the Czech Republic, Poland, Austria, the Netherlands, Spain, Sweden and Belgium.

♦ Satisfaction levels have gone down (i.e. decreases in satisfaction levels of 3 points or more which are accompanied by increases of 3 points or more in the percentage of people who are not satisfied) are found in Portugal, France and Cyprus.

3.2. Satisfaction with the way democracy works in the European Union

- Public opinion reaches most positive level in past 10 years - Levels of satisfaction with the way democracy works in the European Union are slightly less varied than with the way it works at the national level. On average, one European Union citizen in two is satisfied with the way democracy works in the European Union. Just over one-third of the public are not satisfied (34%) and one person out of six lacks an opinion (16%)23. The chart below shows the development of public opinion over the past ten years. It shows that public opinion is currently at the most positive level obtained in these ten years. This marks a continuation of the upward trend recorded since spring 2004. We are now seeing a sustained consolidation of positive opinion that contrasts with earlier periods - in autumn 2000 and from 1995 to 1998 - when a relative majority of European Union citizens were not satisfied with the way democracy works in the European Union.

In the old Member States people are more likely to feel satisfied with the way democracy works in their country than are people from the new Member States. However the opposite is the case when it comes to satisfaction with the way democracy works at the level of the European Union. 59% of citizens in the new Member States are satisfied with the way democracy works in the European Union, 18 points more than the score recorded at national level. The corresponding percentage in the EU15 group is 48%, 10 points less than at the national level. Satisfaction levels with the way democracy works in the European Union are higher in the two acceding countries than in the two candidate countries.

An analysis of the shifts in the percentages since the previous survey in the Member States shows the following developments:

♦ Satisfaction levels have improved (i.e. increases of 3 points or more in the percentage very or fairly satisfied) in Poland, Hungary, the Czech Republic, the Netherlands, Denmark, Italy, Ireland and Sweden. In all these countries, except Italy, the increases are matched by decreases of 3 points or more in the percentage of people who are not very or not at all satisfied. Though not included in the table on the next page, the percentage of people who are not satisfied also dropped significantly in Spain (-5) and Latvia (-3)

♦ Greece is not included in the list above as both the percentage of satisfied

people and the percentage of those who are dissatisfied has increased.

♦ Satisfaction levels have gone down (i.e. decreases of 3 points or more in the percentage very or fairly satisfied) in Portugal, Slovakia, Estonia, Finland, Malta, Germany, Cyprus and Luxembourg. However, in Slovakia, Estonia, Cyprus and Luxembourg this is not matched by significant increases in the percentage not satisfied. In France, on the other hand, this percentage has increased by 3 points.

♦ Public opinion has not changed significantly since spring 2005 in

Slovenia, Austria, Lithuania, the United Kingdom and Belgium25.

3.3. Trust in institutions and organisations The second indicator that we look at is trust in political institutions and organisations26.

- Trust in international bodies is greater than in national institutions - Of the 5 institutions and organisations covered, the United Nations is most widely trusted by European citizens (54%, +2 points compared with autumn 2005), followed by the European Union (48%, +3 points) and the justice/national legal systems (48%, +1 points)27. Over one-third (38%) of EU citizens trust their national parliaments (+3 points since autumn 2005) and 35% trust their government (+4 points). Political parties are trusted by, on average, 22% of European citizens (+5 points).

On average, citizens living in the former EU15 countries are more inclined to trust their national political and legal system than are citizens from the ten new Member States. However, the reverse is true for international institutions. In the ten new Member States, trust in the United Nations and particularly the European Union is considerably more widespread than it is in the former EU15 nations.

3.4. Political concepts In this final section, we analyse the image citizens have of a number of political concepts28.

- Free trade, social security and competitiveness receive

the most positive reactions - Approximately seven out of ten European Union citizens have a positive image of the terms “company” (71%), “free trade” (71%), “social security” (71%) and “competitiveness” (68%). More than half of the respondents also have a positive image of reforms (59%) and trade unions (57%). The term “public administration” is viewed positively by a relative majority of European citizens (49%). On the other hand, globalisation and protectionism tend to bring a negative connotation (respectively 44% and 43%) to mind. It should be noted that the idea of “protectionism”, in particular, resulted in a significant number of DK responses (22%); the same is true to a lesser extent for the term “globalisation” (16%).

Albeit significantly less so than in spring 2005, certain disparities exist between the opinions of citizens in the fifteen old Member States and those in the ten new Member States remain:

♦ Citizens in the old Member States tend to have a more positive image than citizens in the new Member States of protectionism (differential of +17 points). To a lesser extent this is also the case for social security (+4) and reforms (+3).

♦ Conversely, terms associated with free market economics, such as company

(+6 points), competitiveness (+6 points) and free trade (+5 points) tend to have a more positive image in the new Member States.

An analysis on the basis of peoples’ gender, age and education shows the following:

♦ Young respondents and particularly respondents who are still studying tend to view all the terms except competitiveness and reforms less negatively than their older counterparts.

♦ Respondents aged 40 to 54 are more likely to view social security,

protectionism, globalisation and public administration negatively than respondents from other age groups.

♦ The longer respondents stayed in full-time education, the more positive they

feel about the terms company, social security, free trade, protectionism, reforms and public administration.

II. THE EUROPEAN UNION AND ITS CITIZENS

We will now examine several aspects of the relationship between the European Union and its citizens, namely:

1. European democracy: trust in the European Union and the feeling that one’s voice is heard.

2. European identity: do citizens identify with European Union symbols and do

they feel attached to Europe and the European Union?

3. Membership of the European Union: support for membership of the European Union and its perceived advantages; the European Union’s image.

4. The European institutions: do citizens know the EU institutions, do they

consider them important and do they trust them?

5. Informing European citizens: to what extent are citizens informed about European subjects and via which sources? How is European information presented at a national level?

1. European democracy 1.1. Trust in the European Union

- Slight improvement in levels of trust in the European Union - In spring 2006, close to half of all European Union citizens (48%) say that they “tend to trust” the European Union. This represents a slight increase in the level of trust seen in autumn 2005 (45%). This positive development is mirrored by a decrease of 4 points in the percentage of respondents who tend not to trust the European Union (from 43% to 39%).

Socio-demographic analysis shows that, as is the case with most other attitudes towards the European Union, trust levels are strongly linked to the degree of respondents’ education. Levels vary from 39% among people who completed their full-time education prior to reaching the age of 16, to 63% of people who are still studying. Respondents who feel that they have a (very) good knowledge of European affairs - which increases with education - are more likely to have confidence in the EU than are those who feel they know (very) little on the subject (55% versus 37%)29. Age is an equally important factor: 58% of people aged 15 to 24 tend to trust the European Union, compared to 42% of people aged 55 and over. 29 QA20. Using this scale, how much do you feel you know about the European Union, its policies, its institutions? (1 = nothing at all, 10 = a great deal).

Trust levels also differ strongly from country to country. Widespread confidence exists in Hungary (70%), Greece and Slovenia (both 63%), whereas more than half of the public in Finland (54%), the United Kingdom and Sweden (both 51%) tend not to trust the European Union. Results also show an intensification in the difference in opinion that exists between the former EU15 countries and the new Member States. In autumn 2005 trust levels for the newer Members were on average 10 points higher than for the EU15 group (53% vs. 43%). This gap has now widened to 15 points (60% vs. 45%).

A clear divergence in opinion exists between the acceding countries and the candidate countries. In the acceding countries trust levels are amongst the highest in Europe, whereas in the candidate countries the majority of respondents tend not to trust the European Union. In Turkey, the mood is now significantly less positive, with trust levels falling from 50% in autumn 2005 to 35% in spring 2006.

At the level of individual countries, the Member States fall into three groups depending on whether opinion has moved in a positive direction, a negative direction, or remained stable since autumn 2005: ♦ In Hungary, Denmark, Sweden, Slovenia, Cyprus, the Czech Republic, Poland, the

Netherlands, Estonia, the United Kingdom, Belgium, Slovakia, Ireland and Lithuania trust in the EU has improved (i.e. an increase of 3 points or more in the percentage tending to trust the EU). In all these countries the increases are also matched by decreases of 3 points or more in the percentage tending not to trust the European Union. In Germany, Austria, Italy, Spain and Latvia respondents have not shown significant increases in positive expressions of trust but have exhibited a significant decrease in sentiments of distrust30.

♦ In Portugal, Malta and Luxembourg trust levels have gone down (i.e. a decrease

of 3 points or more in the percentage tending to trust). In Portugal and Malta these decreases are matched by increases of 3 points or more in the percentage tending not to trust.

♦ In France, Greece and Finland public opinion has not changed (shifts of 2 points or

less).

1.2. The feeling among citizens that their voice counts

- Majority of Europeans feel their voice does not count but results are less negative than in autumn 2005 -

Over half of respondents (54%) say that they “tend to disagree” that their voice counts in the European Union. This has decreased from the 59% seen in the autumn 2005 survey, signalling a positive development. However, the proportion of citizens who feel that their voice counts is, at 36%, still low, although somewhat higher than in autumn 2005 (+2 points). One respondent in ten lacks an opinion31.

Citizens with a high self-perceived knowledge of the European Union, those who studied the longest, leaders of opinion and managers are more likely than other groups to believe that their voice counts in the European Union. Even among these categories, however, many people tend to disagree that their voice counts.

As would be expected, the feeling that a respondent’s voice counts is strongly associated with a favourable stance towards the European Union. Those who have a positive image of the EU, who feel that membership is a good thing, that their country has benefited, and who trust the EU are all significantly more likely to feel that their voice counts than citizens with a negative opinion in these areas For example, in the table below, we see that around half (52%) of the respondents holding a positive image of the EU tend to agree that their voice counts. This contrasts with respondents holding a negative image of the EU, where only 13% agree that their voice counts and an overwhelming majority (83%) have the opposing view.

Public opinion on this matter does not differ significantly between the former EU15 and the new Member States (36% and 35%, respectively). That is not to say, however, that there are no differences in public opinion between the countries: support for the view that one’s voice counts in the European Union ranges from only 18% in Latvia to 54% in the Netherlands.

A country analysis of shifts since the previous survey shows the following developments: ♦ Positive shifts in Hungary, Slovenia, Cyprus, Italy, Ireland, Spain, Greece, the

United Kingdom, Austria, Estonia and the Czech Republic. In all these countries the feeling that one’s voice counts has gone up (i.e. increases of 3 points or more in the percentage of people tending to agree). Furthermore, these increases are matched by decreases of 3 points or more in the percentage of people tending to disagree. Finally Latvia, Sweden, Luxembourg, Portugal, Poland and Belgium – though not showing significant increases in agreement - recorded decreases of 3 points or more in the percentage of people who disagree32.

♦ In Slovakia, Lithuania, the Netherlands and Germany the feeling that one’s

voice counts has gone down (i.e. a drop of 3 points or more in the percentage of people tending to agree).

♦ In Malta, Denmark, France and Finland, views have not changed significantly

(i.e. shifts of 2 points or less) since autumn 2005.

1.3. The impact of feeling that one’s voice counts in the EU

- Feeling one’s voice counts strongly linked to other opinions - The slight increase in the proportion of Europeans saying that they feel their voice counts is important not only in its own right, but also because attitudes in this area impact significantly on other opinions, feelings and beliefs regarding the EU. For example, as seen before on the table page 60, people with positive views of the European Union are considerably more likely to feel that their voice counts than are citizens with a negative stance towards the European Union.

- People who feel their voice counts tend to be less afraid of the building of Europe -

We also see from results that the feeling one’s voice counts can help to allay fears linked to the building of Europe. This is shown in the table on the next page which presents the percentage saying they are not afraid of these particular issues, according to whether they feel their voice does or does not count. As an example, when it comes to the fear of loss of national identity and culture the analysis shows that 7 out of 10 (69%) people who feel their voice counts do not worry about this being a consequence of the building of Europe. Of those who feel their voice does not count, a much lower proportion - 5 out of 10 (48%) say they do not fear this consequence.

- People who feel their voice counts are much more likely to feel the EU plays

a positive role in important areas - People who feel that their voice counts in the European Union are also more likely to think that the EU plays a positive role when it comes to important policy areas. Hence, for example, we find that the majority of people who feel that their voice counts also think that the EU plays a positive role when it comes to fighting terrorism, fighting crime and the economic situation (70%, 55% and 53%, respectively). Fighting terrorism is the only aspect where the majority of those who feel their voice does not count say that EU plays a positive role (52%). When it comes to fighting crime (34%) and the economic situation (28%) they are far less positive.

2. European Identity In this chapter, we analyse issues that provide insight into how the public perceives the concept of a European identity: the European Union flag, the feeling of being European and part of the European Union, and associations with the EU. 2.1. Public opinion about the European flag

- Citizens identify with the European Union flag - As part of a set of questions measuring the extent to which Europeans identify with the European Union flag, respondents were firstly shown a photo of the flag and were asked if they had seen it before. More than nine out of ten European Union respondents (92%) have seen the European Union flag before33. This very high level of recognition is only slightly lower than the score recorded in autumn 2004 (-2 points).

From a socio-demographic point of view, the range in recognition levels of the European flag is somewhat narrow (ranging from 83% to 97%). It is lowest amongst the following groups: those who completed their full-time education before reaching the age of 16 (84%), house persons (84%), those scoring lowest on the opinion leadership index (83%) and those who feel that they are not very knowledgeable about the European Union (84%). Conversely, recognition is highest amongst those who finished their study at the age of 20 or above (97%), those scoring highest on the opinion leadership index (97%) and those who feel that they are very knowledgeable about the European Union (96%). These characteristics are all closely interrelated34. Levels of recognition vary only slightly from country to country. There are countries where all (Luxembourg) or nearly all (Sweden and Malta) respondents had seen the European Union flag before. Italy (82%), the United Kingdom (85%) and Spain (89%) are the only three Member States where fewer than nine out of ten respondents recognised the symbol. The recognition level is least widespread in Turkey, where 63% of respondents had seen the European flag before. It is also below the European Union average in Romania (81%) and Bulgaria (84%) whereas very widespread awareness is found to exist in Croatia (96%).

33 QA7 Have you ever seen this symbol? 34 A table detailing the full results of the socio-demographic analysis can be found in the annexes.

Respondents who had seen the European Union flag before were then asked if they know what it means35. Around nine out of ten (91%) interviewees who recognised it, correctly associates the flag with a European dimension. Small variations are found between the countries surveyed, with the United Kingdom (75%), Turkey (82%), Ireland and Latvia (both 88%) being the only countries where fewer than nine out of ten respondents knew that the flag symbolises something “European”.

All respondents were subsequently told that the symbol shown in the photograph is the European Union flag and were asked to respond to four statements about it. The results of this set of questions show that a majority of European Union citizens believes that the flag is a good symbol for Europe (80%, -2 points) and that it stands for something good (71%, +2 points). Furthermore, more than half of the citizens of the European Union are of the opinion that the flag should be seen on all public buildings in their country next to the national flag (55%) and the majority of citizens identify with the flag (51% vs. 39% who don’t identify with it)36. A more in-depth analysis shows that identification with the EU flag depends on peoples’ self-perceived knowledge of the European Union: 39% of people who feel they know very little about the European Union identify with the flag, compared with 62% of people who feel they know a lot about the EU. As the table below shows, peoples’ general attitudes towards the European Union are also very important in this respect37.

Levels of identification with the European Union flag also vary strongly from country to country. In Ireland and Italy, levels are most widespread (68%), followed by Slovakia (67%), the Czech Republic (65%) and Hungary (64%). In Finland, the Netherlands and Sweden, people are least likely to identify with the flag with around two out of three respondents tending to disagree with the statement (68%, 66% and 65%, respectively). In the AC/CC countries, identification with the European Union flag is generally at a much lower level. In these countries, significant proportions of respondents were not able to answer the question, with a particularly high percentage of “DK” responses recorded in Romania (44%).

2.2. Attachment to Europe and the European Union

- Nearly two out of three Europeans feel attached to Europe - Europeans share a common sense of identity to some extent. Nearly two out of three respondents feel attached to Europe (63%). Furthermore, the survey shows that 50% of European Union citizens feel attached to the European Union. However, peoples’ level of attachment to Europe is not as extensive as that to their country, region and city, town or village: 90% of respondents feel attached to their country, 87% feel attached to their region and 86% feel attached to their city, town or village.

Nevertheless, analysis of the individual country results shows that in Poland (84%), Hungary (83%), Sweden (77%) and Luxembourg (76%) over three-quarters of the citizens feel attached to Europe. There is also a strong degree of attachment in Belgium and the Czech Republic (both 71%). Attachment to Europe is least widespread in Cyprus (27%), followed by Estonia (38%). Attachment to the European Union is most widespread in Italy, Luxembourg (both 64%) and Hungary (63%) and least widespread in Cyprus (27%) and Estonia (29%). Amongst the AC/CC countries, attachment to the European Union ranges from 27% in Turkey to 59% in Romania. In all countries except Turkey, attachment to Europe is more widespread than attachment to the European Union. In Turkey, the percentage of people who feel attached to Europe (28%) is almost the same as the percentage who feel attachment to the European Union (27%).

A socio-demographic analysis of the degree of attachment to the European Union reveals the following38:

♦ Education level has a similar positive effect to that which we have noted earlier for other favourable evaluations of the EU/Europe: the longer respondents have studied, the greater their attachment to both Europe as a geographical entity and the European Union. Subjective knowledge is equally important: the more people feel they know about the European Union, the more they feel attached to it.

♦ It is noteworthy that citizens who were born in a European Union country other

than the country in which they currently live are most inclined to feel attached to the European Union (68%). This is the case to an even wider extent concerning their attachment to Europe (73%). This also applies to citizens with parents who were both born in a European Union country other than the one in which they currently reside: 64% of this group feels attached to the European Union.

2.3. Meaning of the European Union

- Citizens mostly associate the European Union with freedom of movement and the Euro -

To European citizens, the European Union is most associated with freedom of movement (to travel, study and work) between its countries. Half of the surveyed respondents referred to this freedom (the same figure as in autumn 2005)39. The Euro comes next with a score of 39% (+1 point), followed by peace, with a score of 33% (+1 point). For around a quarter of its citizens, the European Union means a stronger say in the world (26%, -2 points), cultural diversity (also 26% and -2 points) or democracy (24%, +2 points). The negative sentiments included in the list are ranked lower. Nonetheless, for around one European in five, the European Union means a waste of money (22%, -2 points), bureaucracy (21%, -2 points), not enough control at external borders (19%, -4 points) and unemployment (18%, -2 points). The above analysis points towards a more positive stance compared with autumn 2005 when it comes to the meaning of the European Union.

3. Being a member of the European Union today The Eurobarometer attaches particular importance to what membership of the European Union means to respondents. Several questions are used to measure public opinion in this regard:

♦ Support for membership of the European Union; ♦ The perceived advantages of membership; ♦ The image that citizens have of the European Union.

3.1. Membership of the European Union: a good thing? 3.1.1. In the Member States

- Support for European Union membership improves - Taking results at an overall level, we see a healthy increase in the proportion of respondents taking the view that their country’s membership of the EU is a good thing. This has increased by 5% over the last six months and now stands at 55%40. In eighteen Member States support for European Union membership has increased and in five additional countries support has remained stable.

40 QA11a. Generally speaking, do you think that (OUR COUNTRY)’s membership of the European Union is …? - a good thing - a bad thing – neither good nor bad

At 13%, opposition to membership of the European Union has fallen by 3 percentage points. Negative opinions only exceed 20% of the surveyed population in Finland (26%), the United Kingdom (25%) and Austria (24%), countries which are traditionally more sceptical about European integration. In autumn 2005, this list was topped by Sweden (32%), but the view here that membership of the European Union is a bad thing has since fallen by 13 points to 19%. The cleavages in public opinion between Member States which were evident in autumn 2005 are somewhat less pronounced in spring 2006:

♦ There is no longer evidence of such a clear contrast between euro zone and non euro zone countries. For example, in autumn 2005 support for EU membership exceeded 60% in only some countries belonging to the euro zone. A similar level of support for membership is now also found in Denmark (65%), which does not belong to the euro zone. Furthermore, the only significant decreases since autumn 2005 in support for national membership occurred in Portugal and Luxembourg, two euro zone countries.

♦ In the past, approval rates were lowest in Austria, the United

Kingdom, Finland and Sweden which as such were classified as the traditionally more sceptical Member States in relation to the EU. The ranking order is now different: approval of membership in Sweden now stands at 49%. On the other hand, countries with historically low approval rates are joined in the latest wave by Latvia (37%).

♦ Although public opinion continues to be less outspoken in the new Member

States with a higher proportion of “membership is neither good nor bad” responses (36% vs. 27% in the former EU15), the level of support in the new Member States is now above the 50% mark (54% compared with 49% in autumn 2005).

As would be expected, with the overall rise in public support for national membership, most individual countries have seen an increase since Autumn 2005 in the proportion of their citizens saying membership is a ‘good thing’. As can be seen from the table below, this shift in opinion is of a substantial nature, represented for example by a change of 10 percentage points or more in Slovenia, Estonia, Hungary and Sweden. Exceptions to the general trend are Luxembourg (where support has fallen by 10 percentage points) and Portugal (-7 percentage points).

Membership of the EU A more detailed analysis of changes since the previous survey reveals the following41:

♦ In Sweden, Italy, Denmark, Hungary, Belgium, Estonia, Slovenia, the United Kingdom and the Netherlands, increases in support are also accompanied by significant decreases in the percentage of ‘bad thing’ responses42.

♦ No significant shifts or only very minor shifts took place since autumn 2005 in Lithuania, Malta, Poland, Austria and Latvia43.

41 The table only shows changes in the % ‘a good thing’ responses. Readers can find the full results of QA11 in the annexes. 42 Only increases of at least 3 points in the percentage of ‘good thing’ responses and decreases of at least 3 points in the percentage of ‘bad thing’ responses are noted.

♦ Significant increases in neutral opinions, accompanied by significant

♦ A significant increase in opposition which is accompanied by a significant decrease in neutral opinions has been recorded in Finland.

In terms of socio demographic analysis we again see that high levels of education and self-evaluated knowledge of the EU are strongly associated with a positive opinion. Those continuing their education until at least the age of 20 are significantly more likely to believe membership to be a good thing (69%) than those ending their education at 15 or 16-19 (42% and 51% respectively). Amongst respondents claiming a high level of knowledge about the EU there is again strong support, to the extent where this is over 25 percentage points higher than those who claim to have a low level of knowledge about the EU (69% vs. 41%)

3.1.2. In the accession and candidate countries The question regarding support of national EU membership was worded slightly differently in the accession and candidate countries on the basis of projected support: "Generally speaking, do you think that (OUR COUNTRY)’s membership of the European Union will be a good thing, a bad thing or neither good nor bad?" - Slight increase in support for future membership in Bulgaria; less support in

Turkey - In the lead-up to the decision to finalise the exact date that Romania and Bulgaria join the European Union, support for future EU membership has increased in Bulgaria (+3 points) and remained stable in Romania (+1 point). The majority of citizens in Romania (62%) and Bulgaria (53%) regard future accession to the European Union as a good thing for their country. In Turkey, public opinion has become significantly more negative. Support for future membership has fallen by 11 points to 44% and opposition has increased by 10 points, a view now held by a quarter of the Turkish public. Opinion in Croatia is similar to that seen six months previously and, despite the negative turn in opinion noted in Turkey, it is still the country where support for future membership is least widespread (34%).

3.2. The advantages of membership 3.2.1. In the Member States

- Slight increase in support for view that countries benefit from European Union membership -

In autumn 2005, results demonstrated a slight drop in support for the perceived advantages of European Union membership. This can, in retrospect, be put aside as a temporary setback now that a renewed sense of optimism is visible from the spring 2006. Although we cannot speak of a significant increase in positive responses, at least not at the EU25 level, the proportion of people who feel their country has not benefited is now lower than it was in autumn 2005 (33%, -3 points)44. The gap between positive and negative responses is now 21 points, up from 16 points in autumn 2005.

Once again, Ireland has the highest score in terms of citizens who perceive membership of the European Union has on balance been of benefit (87%). Denmark (75%) is next highest followed by Lithuania and Greece (both 72%), making the order of the countries somewhat different to that seen in autumn 2005. Luxembourg (now 71%) moves down from second place to fourth position shared with Spain. Two years after accession, public opinion concerning the perceived benefits of membership is increasingly more positive in the new Member States. On average, more than 6 out of 10 respondents (62%, +4 points in comparison with the autumn 2005 wave) consider that their country has benefited from being a member of the European Union. Of the new Member States, Cypriots remain the most critical. Only 40% feel that their country has benefited from membership, while 49% hold the opposite view.

44 QA12a. Taking everything into consideration, would you say that (OUR COUNTRY) has on balance benefited or not from being a member of the European Union?

Unlike in autumn 2005, there are now no countries where more than half of the people feel their country has not benefited from European Union membership. This remains nonetheless, the view of a relative majority in Cyprus (49%), Finland (48%), the United Kingdom (44%) and Austria (43%). Additionally, substantial minorities of citizens in Germany (45%), Sweden (41%), France (40%) and Malta (37%) also feel that their country has not benefited from European Union membership.

There are a number of countries where opinion on the benefits of EU membership has moved significantly in a positive direction. As with opinion on whether membership is a ‘good thing’, the largest improvements are noted in Slovenia, Hungary, Sweden (all +11 points) and Estonia (+10 points). In Portugal, Malta and Luxembourg (-9 points, -5 points and -4 points respectively), the public is now less likely to feel that their country has benefited from membership45.

Benefited from being a member of the European Union In Sweden, Hungary, Slovakia, Italy, Denmark, Slovenia, Estonia, Greece, Austria, the Czech Republic, and the United Kingdom, increases in the percentage of people who feel their country has benefited are matched by decreases in the proportion of people who feel their country has not benefited46. In Portugal, Malta and Luxembourg we find the exact opposite: increases in the proportion of people who feel their country has not benefited are matched by decreases in the proportion of people who feel their country has benefited. 45 The table only shows changes in the % ‘a good thing’ responses. Readers can find the full results of QA12 in the annexes. 46 Only increases of at least 3 points in the percentage of ‘benefited’ responses and decreases of at least 3 points in the percentage of ‘not benefited’ responses are noted.

From a socio-demographic perspective the results are similar to those seen with support for national membership of the European Union: Citizens who most perceive the advantages of their country’s membership are more likely to be students (72%), people who stayed in full-time education the longest (67%), young people (66%), managers (65%), leaders of opinion (62%), the self-employed (61%), men (60%), people who position themselves on the left of the political scale (59%) and people living in urban areas (58%)47.

3.2.2. In the accession and candidate countries

- Expectations of advantages to be gained from EU membership increase in the accession countries and fall in the candidate countries -

The view that a respondent’s country would benefit from EU membership is gaining widespread popularity in Romania, where 69% (+4 points) now believe this will be the case. In Bulgaria, the view is also optimistic with 54% (+3 points) of the public believing Bulgaria will benefit from being a member of the European Union48. In the candidate countries, the public is less optimistic. Although respondents in Croatia are still the most sceptical (45%, -3 points), the most notable feature of this survey’s results is the negative shift in public opinion in Turkey. In autumn 2005 over two-thirds (68%) of people in Turkey had positive views on potential benefits. This figure has fallen to just over half (51%) in spring 2006.

Taking everything into account, would you say that (OUR COUNTRY) would benefit or not from being a member of the European Union?

3.2.3. Reasons why citizens feel they benefit from membership of the European Union

- Public opinion is divided about the supposed advantages of European Union

membership –

Respondents are divided when asked more specifically how they feel about their country’s membership of the EU. 47% feel personally safer and 45% agree that their country is more stable economically. When it comes to the European Union providing political stability in their country, EU citizens are slightly more critical: 41% agree that this is the case but 48% disagree. Furthermore, the public is more likely to disagree (46%) than to agree (38%) that the interests of their country are well taken into account. Over 7 out of 10 respondents feel that the biggest countries have the most power in the European Union (72%)49.

Analysis of the results at a national level reveals large variations between the Member States. Generally, the feeling that membership provides safety is significantly more widespread among citizens in the ten new Member States (60%) than is the case in the 15 “old” Member States (45%). At a country level, this view is most widespread in Cyprus (72%) and Greece (71%). People in France and the Netherlands are the least likely (both 29%) to feel safer because their country is a member of the European Union. Citizens in the ten new Member States are also more inclined than those in the 15 “old” Member States to feel that their country is more stable economically because of its membership of the European Union (54% vs. 44%). Nonetheless, it is in one of the former EU15 nations – Ireland (74%) - that we find the highest agreement level with this statement. The next highest levels are recorded in Estonia, Lithuania and Slovenia (all 62%). Citizens in France (29%) and Sweden (31%) are most critical in this regard. The data shows a close relationship between views on safety and views on political stability. As with safety, agreement with the statement about political stability is demonstrated in Greece (66%) and Cyprus (65%) and the lowest level is that in France (19%). Once again, a difference is evident between the ten new Member States and the 15 “old” Member States, with citizens in the former more positive than citizens in the latter (47% vs. 40%). The feeling that the interests of one’s country are well taken into account in the European Union is most widespread in Ireland (56%). In Belgium (53%), Sweden (52%) and Luxembourg (51%) more than half of the respondents also agreed. At 50%, Hungary is the new Member State with the highest agreement level. Finland is the country where this view is least widely shared (22%), whilst Latvia is the only other country where less than 3 out of 10 people agree (28%). The view that the biggest countries have the most power is most widely held in a number of “small” countries, with Finland (93%) and Greece (90%) topping the list. However, in Luxembourg far fewer people feel this way (64%) and public opinion here is the same as that of the “largest” Member State, Germany. Meanwhile, in Poland (86%) public opinion mirrors that of many of the “smaller” countries.

Looking briefly at the results in the AC/CC countries50, we see that around 6 out of 10 people in Bulgaria and Romania would feel safer and of the view that their country would be more stable economically and politically once they have joined the EU. In Croatia, and particularly in Turkey, we see that people are less inclined to feel that EU membership would bring about a sense of safety. Furthermore, people in Turkey are considerably less inclined to feel that membership would bring about political stability for their country. Finally, results show that Turkish respondents are different from their counterparts in the other 3 non Member States in their views about the power of the biggest countries. Just over half (53%) the Turkish respondents agreed with this statement compared to between 72 and 77 percent in the other three non-member states.

50 QA15b. This question is the same as QA15a but - with the exception of item 6 - has been worded slightly differently to take account of the fact that these countries are not (yet) members of the European Union.

3.3. The European Union’s image

- Image of the European Union improves significantly - After a year in which the percentage of Europeans with a positive image of the European Union dropped, public opinion is now back at the level attained in autumn 2004. One citizen in two now has a positive image of the European Union, an increase of 6 points compared to autumn 200551. One citizen in three is neutral about the European Union (32%) and less than one citizen in six has a negative perception of its image (15%, -5 points since autumn 2005).

The image of the European Union is most widely perceived as being positive by Irish citizens (73%), followed by those in Italy (68%) and Spain (62%). In all 25 Member States, citizens with a positive image outnumber those with a negative image. However, the difference between positive and negative opinions is very slight in Austria (+1 in favour of positive opinions), Finland (+4) and the United Kingdom (+5). Public opinion is, on average, slightly more positive in the ten new Member States, although the difference here compared with the former EU15 is not very pronounced (53% vs. 49%). Looking within these two groups, we see a wider range of opinion. Within the new Member States, the difference between the country with the highest percentage of favourable responses (Slovenia, 60%) and the country with the lowest percentage of favourable responses (Latvia, 35%) is 25 points. In the former EU15, this difference is equal to 43 points (Ireland, 73% vs. Finland, 30%). Historically, public image of the EU has tended to be more positive in the acceding and candidate countries than in many of the Member States, with Croatia as the exception. These analyses reveal a situation that is different from previous years. The spring 2006 survey shows a significant negative development in opinion in Turkey, where the percentage of people with a positive image of the European Union has fallen from 60% to 43%. In Croatia, the mood is also more critical than it was in autumn 2005. In contrast, public opinion about the image of the European Union remains clearly positive in Romania and Bulgaria.

51 QA13. In general, does the European Union conjure up for you a very positive, fairly positive, neutral, fairly negative or very negative image?

Image of the European Union

In all individual countries except Luxembourg and Portugal, the percentage of people with a positive image of the European Union has gone up since autumn 2005. As the table above shows, the largest increases have been recorded in Hungary (+14 points), Italy (+12 points) and the Czech Republic (+10 points).

As we have seen with other indicators of support for the European Union a high subjective knowledge of the EU and advanced education levels are the most important determinants of a positive image of the European Union. Furthermore, the higher people score on the opinion leadership scale, the more likely it is that they have a positive image of the European Union. For negative images of the EU, the socio-demographic picture is slightly less clear. With education levels we see the reverse of the positive relationship already noted: lower levels of education are linked to a negative image of the EU. However, for both opinion leadership and subjective EU knowledge, respondents towards the lower ends of these scales are not more likely to have a negative image52.

4. The European Institutions This part of the report analyses to what extent European citizens know the European Institutions, the extent to which they consider that they play an important role and finally their trust in them. 4.1. The reputation and importance of the European Institutions - Asserted importance of the European Central Bank and the European Court

of Justice increases - At the beginning of 2006, the European Parliament remains the most widely known institution: 89% of those interviewed have already heard of it53. It is also the institution which citizens consider has the most important role (76%)54. The European Parliament is followed by the European Commission: 81% of respondents have heard of the Commission and 70% recognise its importance. The European Central Bank is less widely recognised but is, however considered to be more important: 73% of respondents have heard of it and 71% feel that it plays an important role. Around two in three respondents have already heard of the Court of Justice of the European Communities and the Council of the European Union. In comparison with spring 2005, figures for the awareness of the European Central Bank and the European Court of Justice have increased significantly. The scores recorded for the other three institutions have remained stable since spring 2005.

4.2. Trust in the European Institutions We now briefly examine the level of trust that citizens have in the various European Institutions55, before analysing in detail changes in the levels of trust in the European Commission and the European Parliament.

- Levels of trust increase, ending the negative trend of recent years - The latest results show a significantly more positive public opinion when it comes to trust in the European Institutions. For the European Parliament and the European Commission, significant decreases in the percentage of people who tend not to trust these two institutions have been recorded compared to autumn 2005 (both -4) while for the other institutions outright improvements have been recorded, with levels of trust increasing significantly. It must be noted that the proportion of respondents who are unable to answer the question about trust is quite high, and particularly so with regard to the Council of the European Union (30%).

55 QA25. And for each of them, please tell me if you tend to trust it or tend not to trust it?

4.2.1. The European Commission

- Results for trust in the European Commission less negative - Following a period during which more and more citizens tended not to trust the European Commission, the latest results reveal a significant improvement: the proportion of citizens with a negative opinion about the European Commission has fallen from 33% to 29%. The percentage of people who tend to trust this institution now stands at 47% (compared to 46% in autumn 2005). The difference between positive and negative opinions is now 18 points in favour of positive scores (compared with 13 in autumn 2005).

- Results for trust in the European Parliament also less negative - The development observed for the European Commission also applies to the European Parliament: the percentage that tends not to trust the latter has fallen by 4 points to 30%. The majority of respondents in the EU (52%) continue to trust the European Parliament and the difference between positive and negative opinions now stands at 22 points (compared with 17 in autumn 2005).

4.2.3. Comparison between both institutions As shown by previous Eurobarometer surveys, trust in the European Parliament is somewhat more widely displayed by the public than is trust in the European Commission and, moreover, the confidence curves of the two institutions remain more or less parallel.

A comparison with the autumn 2005 survey shows that in six Member States trust levels for both the European Parliament and the European Commission improved significantly, with the highest increases seen in Hungary and Poland. In an additional four countries, an increase for either the Parliament or the Commission has been recorded. Conversely, in five Member States, trust levels for both the European Parliament and the European Commission declined significantly, with the highest decreases recorded in Malta and Portugal. In another four countries, a decrease in trust levels for either the Parliament or the Commission has been noted. The United Kingdom continues to be the only European Union Member State in which a majority of respondents tend not to trust either the European Parliament or the European Commission.

Trust levels in the European Council have also improved: the proportion of citizens who tend to trust the European Council has increased from 40% to 43% and the percentage tending not to trust this institution has fallen from 30% to 27%. The difference between positive and negative opinions has increased from 10 points to 16 points since autumn 2005. In the accession and candidate countries, developments since the last survey are negative, particularly so in Romania (notably for the European Parliament and the European Commission, to a lesser extent for the European Council). Nonetheless, Romania still displays the highest levels of trust in the European Parliament, the European Commission and the European Council.

As the table below shows, peoples’ trust in specific European Institutions is linked to how they feel generally about the European Union. Hence, we see for instance that only 14% of people with a negative image of the EU trust the European Commission, whereas trust in the Commission is conveyed by 68% of people who have a positive image of the EU.

4.3. The Presidency of the Council of the European Union - Two out of three Austrians viewed their country’s Presidency of the Council

of the EU as important- During the first half of 2006, Austria held the Presidency of the Council of the European Union56 and at the time of the survey, 79% of citizens in Austria had seen, read or heard something in the media on the subject of their country’s Presidency (up slightly from 77% in the months of the last Austrian Presidency in 1998). As in 1998, two out of three Austrians considered it important that their country presides over the Council of the European Union (66% vs. 65% in 1998).

56 QA27a. In the European Union, each Member State, in turn, becomes the President of the Council of the European Union for six months. Right now, it’s the turn of Austria. Have you recently read in the newspapers or heard on the radio or television anything about Austria’s presidency? QA27b. Whether you have heard about it or not, do you think it is important or not that Austria is President of the Council of the European Union at this time? Would you say it is...?

It is interesting to see such a high level of importance attached to the Presidency in Finland, a country where opinion towards the EU– as in Austria – tends to be more negative than average.

57 QA27c In the European Union, each Member State, in turn, becomes the President of the Council of the European Union for six months. From 1 July 2006 it will be the turn of Finland. Have you recently read in the newspapers or heard on the radio or television anything about Finland’s presidency...? QA27d Whether you have heard about it or not, do you think it is important or not that Finland will be President of the Council of the European Union from the 1 July 2006? Would you say it is...?

5. Information in the European Union Citizen engagement with the democratic process is influenced by the availability and consumption of information about its institutions. This chapter examines this issue as it applies to the European Union, dealing successively with the following points:

* Attitudes to information in general * Subjective knowledge about the European Union * Effective knowledge of the European Union * Sources of information of the European Union * The European Union in the national media

5.1 The attitude of Europeans to information in general

- In line with previous surveys, television is the most widely used source of news -

At European Union level, 66% of citizens watch news programmes on television every day and 21% watch them several times a week58. The radio is also a widely referred to news source: 40% of citizens listen to the news every day on the radio and 16% do so several times a week. Daily newspapers are read on a daily basis by 35% of European citizens and 17% read the news in a daily paper several times a week.

5.2. Subjective knowledge about the European Union 5.2.1. The knowledge scale

- Barometer of subjective knowledge higher in autumn 2006 than in spring 2005 -

For many years, the Eurobarometer has asked European Union citizens to assess their own level of knowledge about the European Union, its policies and its institutions. Respondents are asked to rate their level of knowledge on a scale of 1 (know nothing at all) to 10 (know a great deal) representing their level of knowledge59. For ease of reference, the scores have been grouped together.

Looking at the distribution of responses shows that in spring 2006, 17% of people interviewed consider that they know nothing or almost nothing about the European Union (scores 1 and 2). In autumn 2005, this figure was significantly higher (21%). The majority of respondents (52%) rate their level of knowledge between 3 and 5, therefore considering their knowledge about the European Union to be fairly limited. This score is lower than in autumn 2005 (-3 points). Close to three out of ten Europeans feel they know quite a lot (scores 6 to 8). This score has gone up from 22% to 28%. As in autumn 2005, only 2% of respondents feel that they know a great deal about the European Union (scores 9 and 10). To facilitate the interpretation of responses to this question, we focus on the average score obtained on the scale from 1 to 10. The average level of subjective knowledge of European Union citizens in spring 2006 is 4.5, up from 4.2 in autumn 2005.

59 QA19. Using this scale, how much do you feel you know about the European Union, its policies, its institutions?

The increase noted in subjective knowledge applies to most segments of the European public with the exception of those who score lowest on the opinion leadership scale. Levels of self-perceived knowledge among this group have not increased in recent years, and with an average score of 3.2, this group of Europeans has the lowest self-perceived knowledge level. As the table below shows, large differences are also found depending on peoples’ level of education60.

In autumn 2005 none of the countries surveyed had an average subjective knowledge score of 5 or higher. There are now six countries or territories where this is the case: the Netherlands (5.4; +0.6 points), Luxembourg (5.3; +0.6 points), Denmark (5.1; +0.4 points), Finland (5.1; +0.5 points), the Turkish Cypriot Community (5.1, +0.5 points) and Germany (5.0; +0.2 points). The lowest subjective levels of knowledge in the European Union are found in Spain (3.7; no change), Hungary (3.8; +0.3 points) and Portugal (3.8; -0.1 point). In autumn 2005, the United Kingdom was the other country with an average score below 4. However, the average score in the UK has increased from 3.7 to 4.1. As regards the accession and candidate countries, self-perceived knowledge levels are now highest in Croatia (4.6; +0.3 points). They remain lowest in Turkey (3.7; -0.1 point).

5.2.2. Understanding the way the European Union works - More people now feel they understand the way the European Union works -

In spring 2006, 46% of European Union citizens feel they understand how the European Union works, up from 41% in autumn 2005 and 43% in spring 200561. For the first time since the question was introduced in spring 2005, there is no longer a majority of respondents who tend to disagree with the statement (now 46%, vs. 52% in autumn 2005). However, with 8% of respondents indirectly stating that they do not understand the way the European Union works by choosing the “don’t know” response, there clearly remains much room for improvement.

In line with the results obtained for the knowledge scale, socio-demographic analysis shows large cleavages between the various segments of the European population. Nearly two out of three people who stayed in full-time education until the age of 20 or older feel they understand the way the European Union works (62%) against around a third of people who left school before the age of 15 (33%). The gap is even more extreme for the opinion leadership index: 27% of those who score lowest on the scale feel they understand how the European Union works compared with 67% of those who score highest on the scale.

Geographical analysis shows that the feeling that one understands the way the European Union works continues to be more widely held in the 10 new Member States than in the 15 “old” Member States (53% versus 44%, respectively). A more detailed analysis of individual country results indicates that the feeling that people understand the way the European Union works is, as in autumn 2005, most widespread in Poland (62%; +3 points). Slovenia now comes in second place (59%; +9 points), followed by Luxembourg (58%; +2 points) and the Netherlands (57%; +6).

The lowest level of subjective understanding continues to be that in Slovakia (34%; +2 points), joined by Malta (34%; -1 point). Other countries where less than four out of ten people feel they understand the way the European Union works are Spain (35%; +6 points), Italy (37%; -1 point) and the Czech Republic (39%; +5 points). In Portugal, levels of subjective knowledge rose from 32% in autumn 2005 to 40% in spring 2006. In France, they rose from 38% to 46%. Ireland and the United Kingdom have also crossed the 40% mark (both 41%; +6 in the UK and +5 in Ireland). In the accession and candidate countries, subjective understanding increased in Turkey (34%; +5 points) and Bulgaria (30%; +4 points) but went down in Romania (37%; -4 points). It continues to be most widespread in Croatia (45%; +2 points).

The spring 2006 results are slightly more positive than those obtained in 2005. c) Most of the European budget is spent on administrative and personnel costs Only a third of the respondents to this survey know that this quiz item is false (33%) while 41% incorrectly believe it is true and 25% lack an opinion. A socio-demographic analysis shows how deep-rooted this lack of understanding is. The best score is obtained by respondents who score highest on the self-perceived knowledge scale and managers (50% say that this quiz item is false). Knowledge about how the Union’s budget is spent is particularly weak among people who left full-time education aged 15 or younger and people who score lowest on the opinion leadership index (20% and 21%, respectively, say that this quiz item is false).

- Television: an indispensable source of information - In spring 2006, the main sources of information European citizens use to obtain information about the European Union remain more or less the same as in autumn 200563. Seven out of ten Europeans watch television to obtain information about the European Union (70%, +4 points), just over four out of ten citizens get their information from daily newspapers (41%, -1 point) and just over three out of ten citizens listen to the radio (31%, +1 point) when they look for information about the European Union. The Internet comes in fourth place (23%; +1 point), followed by discussions (22%; -2 points). The other news sources are chosen by less than one respondent in five.

5.5. The European Union in national media 5.5.1. Media coverage of the European Union

- Still considerable demand for more media coverage about the European Union, though less so than in autumn 2005 -

In spring 2006, around half the respondents consider that their national press gives sufficient coverage to the European Union (51%), but just less than a quarter of them said that it does not get enough coverage (23%). Only 6% consider that the press gives too much coverage64. It is to be noted that 21% of the respondents did not express an opinion. Public opinion about the quantity of information transmitted on television is somewhat different with over a third of European citizens wanting more television coverage of European news: although 50% of respondents consider that this medium gives sufficient coverage to European affairs, 35% feel that there is not enough coverage about the subject. As regards the radio, slightly more than four out of ten European citizens consider that the coverage of European affairs is about right on the radio (42%). Quite a significant minority (30%) feels that radio stations in their country do not provide enough information on the topic. Around a quarter of respondents (24%) did not express an opinion. In comparison with autumn 2005, the view that the national television, radio and press now talk too little about the European Union has gone down. For all three media, it fell by 5 percentage points.

- The European Union is presented objectively in the national media - Around half of European citizens consider that television (53%), press (49%) and radio (48%) coverage of the EU is presented objectively in their country65. There is a substantial minority that feels that coverage of European affairs is presented too positively, particularly on television (20%), though this view is now less prevalent than it was in autumn 2005 (-4 points). The corresponding figures are 13% for the press (-4 points) and 13% for radio (-2 points). The idea that coverage of European affairs is too negative is not widespread among the European public: only around one citizen in ten considers this to be the case for any of the three media. Lastly, the number of “don’t know” responses to this question remains very high: 32% of those interviewed did not express an opinion as regards radio coverage, 28% for the press and 16% for television.

III. THE CURRENT ROLE OF THE EUROPEAN UNION

This section examines the following areas:

1. The current role of the EU: how people perceive the European Union’s role in various areas, and what actions citizens feel the EU should prioritise.

2. Current policy issues: Support for the common security and defence policy,

the common foreign policy and the single currency.

1. The current role of the European Union 1.1. The European Union’s role in various areas - Broad public support for the EU’s role in the areas of terrorism, foreign and

defence policy and protecting the environment - At 58%, an increasing proportion of citizens are of the view that the European Union plays a positive role in fighting terrorism (+3 points since autumn 2005). More than half of European citizens surveyed also find that the European Union performs well in terms of foreign and defence policy (52%, +1 point) and protection of the environment (51%, -1 point)66. Furthermore, the public is – on balance - content about the Union’s actions in fighting crime which, as highlighted at the beginning of this report, is one of Europeans’ top concerns67. 42% of respondents find that the EU plays a positive role in this area in contrast to 15% who feel the Union plays a negative role. The public is more critical about the role of the European Union with regard to the economic situation and fighting unemployment, issues which are also a cause of concern for many people. The survey shows that while 37% of Europeans feel that the EU plays a positive role with regard to the economic situation (-1 point), 29% share the opposite view (no change). And, with only one in four citizens believing that the European Union plays a positive role in fighting unemployment, a relative majority considers that the European Union plays a negative role in this area (35%, -2 points). Moreover, the public does not seem satisfied with EU policies to combat rising prices and inflation, with 44% of respondents saying that the European Union plays a negative role here. More positively, however, this figure shows an improvement from the level of dissatisfaction expressed in autumn 2005 (-4 points). Immigration is another issue where the view of a relative majority is that the European Union plays a negative role (36%, -2 points). Lastly, the survey shows that there are a number of areas where the most popular view among the public is that the European Union plays neither a positive nor a negative role. With a score of 52% (+1 point), this applies to housing, followed by public transport (48%, +1 point), pensions (48%, +4 points), healthcare systems (44%, +1 point), the educational system (41%, +1 point) and taxation (39%, +4 points).

1.2. The European Union’s priorities

- Fighting poverty, social exclusion and unemployment once again the top priorities -

Over 4 out of 10 citizens want the EU to prioritise the fight against unemployment (43%, no change since autumn 2005) as well as the fight against poverty and social exclusion (43%, -1 point).68 Around a quarter of European citizens believe that maintaining peace and security in Europe (27%, -1 point) and fighting organised crime and drug trafficking (23%, -2 points) should be given high importance. At a slightly lower level, but still figuring prominently amongst responses is protecting the environment (19%, -1 point). A similar proportion believes that getting closer to European citizens (19%, +2 points) and fighting terrorism (18%, -5 points) should be given priority. The other areas are seen as a priority to a lesser extent.

Views on which policy areas the European Union should focus differ somewhat when we compare responses from the old and new Member States. In the new Member States we see stronger calls for the EU to tackle unemployment as well as poverty and social exclusion compared to old Member States (61% and 53% vs. 40% and 41%, respectively). In the old Member States views that priority should be given to getting closer to citizens (22% vs. 11%), fighting terrorism (20% vs. 12%) and fighting illegal immigration (17% vs. 4%) are much more widely expressed than in the new Member States. This pattern largely reflects the differences between the two groups of countries in terms of issues viewed as national concerns.69

2. Support for current policy issues This chapter examines levels of support for three current policy issues: The common security and defence policy, the common foreign policy and the single currency 2.1. The common security and defence policy

- Support for ESDP decreases slightly - European public opinion is still very receptive to issues relating to the European Security and Defence Policy (ESDP). At 75%, support for a common security and defence policy is, however, slightly lower than it has been in the past three surveys70.

This support is strongest of all in the ten new Member States: there is a difference of 11 points between the average obtained here and that obtained in the fifteen old Member States (84% and 73% respectively). Support also varies considerably from country to country. The Member States with the highest approval rates are Cyprus and the Czech Republic (both 87%), whereas the Maltese and Austrians show the lowest level of support (both 55%). Public support for the ESDP outside the current European Union Member States ranges from 43% in Turkey to 75% in Croatia and Romania.

2.2. Common foreign policy

- No change in support for a common foreign policy - Support for a common foreign policy among EU citizens has remained stable since the last wave of the survey71: more than two out of three European citizens continue to support this idea (67%).

As is the case with the ESDP, support for a common foreign policy is stronger in the ten new Member States: there is a difference of 8 points between the average obtained in the former EU15 and that recorded in the ten new Member States (66% and 74% respectively). We also see a similar range of variations in individual country results to that for the ESDP. In the Member States, support for one common foreign policy is highest in Germany (81%) and lowest in Malta (47%). Public support outside the European Union Member States ranges from 41% in Turkey to 67% in Bulgaria and Romania.

2.3. The international role of the European Union

- Over half of Europeans feel that the EU’s international role is now more important than it was five years ago -

When asked about the importance of the European Union’s international role compared with five years ago, 56% of citizens feel that is has become more important, 28% feel that it has stayed the same and 7% feel that it has become less important72. Whilst a clear majority continue to believe the EU’s international role is gaining in importance, it should be noted that the proportion expressing this opinion has decreased slightly: in spring 2005, the view that the European Union became more important was more widespread (62% vs. 56%) than in spring 2006. Positive opinions on this matter are most prevalent in Slovenia, where more than seven out of ten citizens consider that the international role played by the European Union is more important now than five years ago (72%). This is followed by 68% of people in Denmark and 65% of people in Germany. The view that the European Union now plays a less important role is most frequently expressed by citizens in Austria (17%), Hungary (14%), Italy (13%), Greece and Finland (both 11%). Variation in public opinion is also found among the four non member states, although the prevailing view here is also that the European Union now plays a more important role internationally. The highest levels sharing this opinion are found in Romania (67%), followed by Croatia (60%) and Bulgaria (51%). In Turkey, less than half of the public are of this view (40%) and, at 16%, the proportion of people who believe that the Union now plays a less important role is significantly higher than it is in the other three AC/CC countries.

At national level, we see only two countries where higher proportions of the public see the EU’s role as being more important than five years ago. These are Denmark, (+3 percentage points) and the United Kingdom (+2 points). In the opposite direction, we see a sizeable decrease in this opinion in Portugal, Finland (both -12 percentage points), France and Belgium (both -11 points). Drops of 5 points and more are also seen in Estonia, Luxembourg, Italy, Latvia, Hungary, Slovenia, the Netherlands, Austria and Greece. As the table below shows, people who are for a common foreign policy are much more inclined to feel the role of the European Union is now more important than are people who are against a common foreign policy. The same holds for the ESDP.

There is widespread public support for the view that European foreign policy should be independent from that of the United States (80%). Furthermore, three-quarters (75%) of European Union citizens support the idea of a common immigration policy among the Member States. Lastly, the idea of a Minister for Foreign Affairs is supported by around two out of three citizens (65%).

The view that European Union foreign policy should be independent of United States foreign policy is most widely supported in Greece (96%, +5 points since spring 2005), followed by Germany (90%, +3 points). Opposition to an independent foreign policy is low in all the Member States. At 16%, this opinion is most widespread in Denmark (+5 points). In Portugal and Spain, a significant proportion of the respondents answered “don’t know” to this question (32% and 25%, respectively). Public opinion in Turkey is now very different from that in the three other countries outside the current European Union. In Turkey, around a quarter of the respondents tend to disagree that European Union foreign policy should be independent of United States’ foreign policy (24%, +13 points). In the other three countries, less than 10% of the population shares this view.

The desire for a common immigration policy is particularly widespread in Greece (87%, +9 points), Belgium (84%, +1 point), Germany (83%, +2 points) and the Netherlands (81%, -1 point). In the Scandinavian countries, people who oppose such a common policy form quite a strong minority: 33% in Finland (+2 points), 30% in Denmark (+5 points) and 24% in Sweden (no change). Again, it is seen that public opinion is not fully polarised in Portugal and Spain, with high proportions of “don’t know” replies (32% and 26%, respectively).

Outside the European Union, Turkey again differs from the other three AC/CC countries on this issue. Opposition levels are far higher here (24%, +12 points) than in the other countries, where the next highest level is noted in Croatia (12%, +2 points). In all these countries, but particularly in Romania (35%) and Turkey (31%), quite a large proportion of respondents lack an opinion.

Public opinion concerning the appointment of an EU Foreign Minister is very diverse, with support ranging from 47% in Denmark (+5 points) and 48% in Sweden (+4 points) to 79% in Slovenia (-1 point). Public opinion in the Scandinavian countries is quite divided. In Denmark, 46% oppose the idea, and the equivalent figures are 44% in Finland and 43% in Sweden.

The level of support in the AC/CC countries ranges from 48% in Turkey (-25 points) to 62% in Croatia (-6 points). Opposition is most widespread in Turkey (24%, +12 points). Many respondents have no opinion on this issue: in Romania (40%, +10 points) and Bulgaria (34%, +4 points).

2.4. Support for the single currency

- Support for single currency remains stable - Four years after the Euro was introduced in twelve European Union Member States, 59% of all respondents (regardless of whether they are part of the euro zone or not) state that they are in favour of European Monetary Union with a single currency74. This percentage is more or less on a par with the results obtained in the spring and autumn 2005 surveys.

On average, support for the single currency continues to be highest in the 12 euro zone countries (65%) compared to 59% in the EU15 group as a whole and 57% in the new Member States. However, these averages conceal large variations at country level. In the euro zone countries, support ranges from 51% in Greece to 85% in Ireland. In the ten new Member States, it varies between 46% in Cyprus and 82% in Slovenia. Support for the Euro remains least widespread in the United Kingdom (28%). In Denmark and Sweden, the two other former EU15 countries which did not introduce the Euro, there is now much more support for the Euro among the public: one person in two in these countries is for a single currency. In the four countries that are currently not part of the European Union, support for the Euro varies from 34% in Turkey to 65% in Romania. Public opinion about the Euro is influenced by various factors ranging from the economic climate in a country to specific developments related to the Euro. Consequently, at the country level support for the Euro sometimes shows large shifts from one survey to the next. In the period between the autumn 2005 survey and the spring 2006 survey, public approval of the Euro increased in Sweden (+6 points), Slovenia, Greece (both +5 points), Poland (+4 points) and Slovakia (+3 points). It is now considerably lower in Portugal (-10 points), Latvia, Lithuania (both -9 points), France, Luxembourg (both -8 points) and Austria (-7 points). Other countries where support for the Euro has fallen are Estonia (-5 points Finland (-4 points), the Czech Republic, Germany, Malta and Bulgaria (all -3 points).

IV. THE FUTURE OF THE EUROPEAN UNION

This section examines citizens’ vision of the future of the European Union. In particular, the following points are analysed:

1. The future role of the European Union: The perceived and desired role of the European Union in five years time, the perceived influence of Member States in five years, views about a so-called “two-speed” Europe and the fears expressed by citizens concerning the building of Europe.

2. Future challenges: The future of the European Constitution and future

rounds of enlargement 1. The future role of the European Union In this first chapter, how European citizens see the European Union in the future is looked at in further detail. 1.1. The perception of the European Union’s role in 5 years time

- A significant proportion of Europeans continue to believe the European Union’s role will be more important in five years -

Approximately four out of ten respondents (41%) believe that in five years time, the European Union will play a more important role in their daily life75. Although this is a slightly lower proportion than in spring 2005 (-3 points), it nonetheless indicates that many Europeans believe the European Union will become more important in the future. Moreover, as in spring 2005, only 9% think that the European Union will play a less important role in five years time. The view that the European Union will play the same role in five years is held by 42% of respondents (+2 points) while 8% of respondents lack an opinion on the matter. This opinion is now shared by a relative majority of respondents.

- Broader desire for an increased role of the European Union in the new

Member States than in the former EU15 countries - The proportion of citizens who would like the European Union to play a more important role in the future continues to be slightly higher than what is expected to be the case in 5 years. 46% of citizens hope that the European Union will play a more important role in their daily life in five years time compared with the 41% who thought this would actually be the case.

As in spring 2005, a significant difference is evident comparing citizens in the new Member States to those in the old Member States. In the first group 57% (-3 points) would like to see the European Union play a more important role in their daily life. This is 14 points higher than those expressing this view in the old Member States (43%, -4 points). Returning to the comparison between the expected and desired role of the EU, the table below shows that opinion is in essence similar for both, with a sizeably higher proportion expecting/desiring a more important, as opposed to a less important role. However, within this broad similarity, there are certain subtle differences. Most notably, we see that while 42% expect the European Union’s role to be identical in 5 years’ time, only 31% actually want that scenario.

Subsequently, the “more important” responses for the perceived role and the desired role are compared at national level. This reveals large differences between the countries.

The analysis shows that in eighteen countries, people desiring a more important role for the European Union outnumber those who expect the Union to play a more important role with the largest differential noted in Poland (differential of -20 points between what Polish respondents expect and what they would like). Differentials of ten points or more are also noted in Portugal (-18 points), Lithuania, Latvia (both -17 points), the Czech Republic (-14 points), France (-13 points), Belgium (-11 points) and Malta (-10 points). On the other hand, in the Netherlands, Ireland (both +11 points), Denmark (+8 points) and the United Kingdom (+7 points) people expecting the European Union to play a more important role significantly outnumber those who want this to happen. In the two acceding countries, citizens who want a more important European Union outnumber those who expect it to become more important. This is also the case in Turkey although the gap between desire and expectation is smaller.

A comparison at the socio-demographic level shows that among all segments of the population, people are somewhat more likely to desire a more important role for the European Union than to expect that to happen. However, the size of this gap between expectation and desire differs and is smallest among young people (in particular students) and among people who feel they know a great deal about the European Union.

1.2. Towards a “two-speed” Europe?

- European opinion is divided on the idea of a two-speed Europe - The idea of a two-speed Europe whereby the speed of building Europe is faster in one group of countries than in the other countries is welcomed by close to four out of ten respondents (38%). However, a slightly larger proportion of respondents are against this idea (43%). Thus, and in line with previous results, citizens in Europe remain divided about the idea of a two-speed Europe76.

For Against DK

This divide in public opinion holds when comparing the former EU15 countries as a whole (38% for and 42% against) with the new Member States as a whole (40% for and 44% against). Analysis of the national results shows that Estonia and Hungary (both 53%) are the only two countries where an outright majority would favour a two-speed Europe. This is also the most popular view in Italy, where more respondents favour than oppose the idea. Here, the exact difference between the two opposing opinions is 23 percentage points whilst in Cyprus, it is 19 percentage points. A positive difference can also be observed in Denmark (13 percentage points), Portugal, Lithuania, Malta (a difference of 7 points in all), Spain (6 points), and in Slovakia (2 points). Outside the current Member States, more respondents favour than oppose the idea in Bulgaria, where the exact difference between the two opposing opinions is 20 points and Turkey (8 points). Opposition to the idea of a two-speed Europe is highest in Finland (64%). This is followed by the United Kingdom, France (both 53%), Poland and Belgium (both 51%). The high percentage of “don’t know” replies indicates that the idea of a two-speed Europe is an abstract concept for many people. On average, one respondent in five lacks an opinion (19%). In some countries, “don’t know” replies were given by more than a third of the respondents (42% Bulgaria, 39% in Romania and Cyprus, and 37% in Malta).

1.4. Fears provoked by the building of Europe

- Biggest fear concerning the building of Europe is the transfer of jobs - In spring 2006, the most frequently expressed concern amongst EU citizens is, once again, the transfer of jobs to other Member States with lower production costs (72%, -1 point since autumn 2005). Next, just under two-thirds of respondents are currently worried that their country will be paying more and more to the EU (63%, -2 points). This concern has moved up in ranking from third to second place. Around six out of ten people are afraid of the increasing difficulties facing national farmers (61%, -4 points) and the increase in crime and drug trafficking (60%, -5 points) 78. As in autumn 2005, 54% of the citizens living in countries that have not yet introduced the Euro are afraid of the end of their national currency. The percentage of respondents expressing this fear ranges from 35% in Slovenia to 63% in the United Kingdom. In addition, half of European citizens from the EU25 Member States are worried about the loss of social benefits (50%, -3 points). At 47%, fears of an economic crisis are now less widely expressed (-5 points). Furthermore, 40% of interviewees fear a loss of power for the smallest Member States (-3 points). At the bottom of the list is the fear of a loss of national identities and cultures (39%, -2 points).

2. Future challenges In this chapter, the focus is on two important challenges that the European Union faces: the future of the European Constitution and further enlargement. 2.1. The European Constitution - Awareness of European Constitution remains widespread but knowledge of

its content is very low - As in spring 2005, more than eight out of ten European Union citizens have heard about the European Constitution (82%). Nevertheless, knowledge of the content of the Constitution remains very low. Only 15% of respondents indicate that they know its content (up from 13% in spring 2005) and 67% say they know very little about it79.

Awareness levels are highest in the Netherlands, Luxembourg (both 94%), France, the Czech Republic (both 92%) and Belgium (90%), and lowest in Cyprus (64%), Portugal (69%) and the United Kingdom (71%). The Constitution’s contents are known by an above-average proportion of people in Luxembourg (29%), the Netherlands (27%), Austria and France (both 24%). In Latvia (3%), Lithuania (5%), Cyprus, Greece, Finland (all 6%), Poland, Estonia, Portugal (7%), the United Kingdom (8%) and Sweden (9%) less than one respondent in ten is familiar with the contents of the Constitution.

2.1.2. Support for a European Constitution

- Support for a European Constitution remains widespread though slightly decreasing -

Nearly a year after France and the Netherlands held referenda that rejected the European Constitution, support for the idea of a European Constitution remains widespread. 61% of European citizens support the concept of a Constitution for the European Union, against 22% who oppose this idea81.

It is important to emphasise that this question measures the extent to which people agree with the concept of a Constitution for the European Union and that it is not an evaluation of the content of the current Constitution that is under discussion. Thus, the results should not be seen as an intention of how citizens would vote if referenda were to be organised in certain countries nor linked directly to the outcome of referenda that have already been held. There are large fluctuations between Member States in the degree to which the idea of a European Constitution is supported by the public. The idea of a European Constitution is most favourably received by the citizens of Hungary (78%), followed by Belgians (75%), Italians, Slovenians and Germans (all 71%). The idea of a Constitution is most widely opposed in Denmark and Finland (both 40%). It should also be noted that, in fourteen countries, at least one citizen in five lacks an opinion, with the proportion of “don’t know” replies ranging from 20% in the Czech Republic to 39% in Estonia. In a few of these countries, the public is now significantly more likely to lack an opinion, particularly so in Portugal (+12 points), Cyprus, Malta (both +10 points), and Sweden (+9 points).

In the accession and candidate countries, the idea of a European Constitution is most widely embraced in Romania (63%) and Croatia (60%). At 29%, the idea is much more widely rejected in Turkey than in the other countries. In Bulgaria and Romania, an increased degree of uncertainty is visible from the results, with significant increases recorded in the “don’t know” responses.

Examining opinion by social and demographic characteristics, we see only very small variations between groups in the percentage who are against the concept of a Constitution. In contrast, support for the idea does vary, in particular being highest among those groups that are more Europhile (more highly educated, opinion leaders, those with high levels of EU knowledge). With opposition levels largely constant, these variations in support are mirrored by differences in those saying they lack on opinion on this issue (less educated, low on opinion leadership index, low levels of EU knowledge)83.

2.1.3. Public opinion in the countries where the Constitution has not (yet)

been ratified

- Public opinion in these countries is volatile -

Overall, in the countries which - at the time of the survey - had not yet ratified the European Constitution, 47% of respondents are in favour of the European Constitution, while 29% of respondents are opposed to it. It should be noted that nearly a quarter of respondents did not express an opinion on this subject (24%)84. The percentage of “don’t know” replies is particularly high in Portugal (46%), Estonia (41%), Ireland (40%) and Sweden (38%). Consequently, it is difficult to assess the extent of support for the European Constitution in these countries. Support is most widespread in Poland, where 56% of the people are in favour of the Constitution. In Denmark, the majority of citizens also support the Constitution (53%) although quite a significant minority opposes it (33%). Support is most fragile in the United Kingdom (38% in favour vs. 32% opposed) and the Czech Republic (42% vs. 31%). However, in the latter, a slight shift towards more support is visible in comparison to the previous survey (+3 points). Opposition to the idea of a Constitution has also fallen in Denmark (-4 points) and in Poland (from 21% to 17%). In the two countries that rejected the Constitution, as put to them in referenda, the spring 2006 results show a decline in support for the general idea of a Constitution since the last survey in Autumn 2005 (-5 points in France and -3 points in the Netherlands). Despite this drop in support, in both countries the majority nonetheless remains in favour of the notion of a Constitution. Besides, in the Netherlands, 53% of the respondents are now in favour of the Constitution, while 39% are against it. The figures for France are 51% vs. 35%. A key difference between these two countries and the others is that far fewer respondents lack an opinion (8% in the Netherlands and 14% in France). High levels of “don’t know” replies are seen in the accession and candidate countries. In Bulgaria, most people lack an opinion (50%). However, as in Romania, opposition is very low (both 7%) with a considerable number of those with an opinion expressing their support (54% in Romania and 44% in Bulgaria). Of the four countries, support is lowest in Turkey (34%) and opposition is also at its most widespread here (26%).

84 QB2. According to what you know, would you say that you are in favour of or opposed to the European Constitution? This question was asked in the countries that had not yet ratified the Treaty at the time of the survey, namely Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Ireland, Poland, Portugal, Finland, Sweden and the United Kingdom. It was also asked in France and the Netherlands and in the AC/CC countries.

Further insight into this matter is gained through analysing the relationship between awareness of the European Constitution and support for it in the Member States where the ratification process is still ongoing85. This reveals that respondents who feel they know the contents of the Constitution are most likely to support it. 72% of the respondents who had not heard about the Constitution were unable to express an opinion as to whether they support it or not.

2.1.4. The future of the European Constitution

- Public continues to express faith in the consequences of the European Constitution -

Despite the ratification process coming to a standstill, the majority of European Union citizens still consider that adoption of the Treaty establishing a Constitution for Europe will make the way in which the European Union functions more democratic (62%), more efficient (62%) and more transparent (56%)86.

Although the majority of European citizens express the wish for the Constitution to be renegotiated (47%, -2 points compared to six months ago), close to a quarter feel that the Member States should continue the ratification process (23%, +1 point) and only a small minority believe that the idea of a European Constitution should be dropped (13%, unchanged)87.

The view that the European Constitution should be renegotiated is shared by at least a relative majority of citizens in all Member States, with the exception of Italy where support for continuing the ratification process is at its most popular (37%). In Portugal, Malta and Ireland, more than a third of the public lacks an opinion. The suggestion to drop the European Constitution is welcomed by around a quarter of the people in the United Kingdom, Denmark (both 25%) and Austria (24%). As already noted in the autumn 2005 report, the “no” votes in France and the Netherlands have not resulted in a more widespread desire to drop the European Constitution altogether: only 14% of French citizens and 18% of Dutch citizens hold this view.

The analysis of the socio-demographic variables shows that the most popular view is that the Constitution should be renegotiated regardless of peoples’ characteristics. There is one exception here: the most common response amongst those at the lowest end of the opinion leadership scale is, in fact, the lack of an opinion. Furthermore, the analysis shows significant variation depending on how much people feel they know about the European Union when it comes to wanting the ratification process to continue. Only 16% of those who feel they know very little want the process to continue compared to 35% of people who feel they know a lot.

2.2. Support for further enlargement

- The gap between support and opposition to further enlargement is shrinking -

In comparison with the results obtained in the autumn 2005 survey, support for further enlargement of the European Union is now less widespread (45%, -4 points) and opposition has increased (42%, +3 points). Consequently, the gap between supporters and opponents is now very small (3 points vs. 10 points in autumn 2005)88. Public opinion about further enlargement continues to show large cleavages between the Member States. Widespread support is found in Slovenia (73%) and Poland (72%) which contrasts sharply with the reluctance, if not outright opposition, regarding further enlargement in Germany, Luxembourg, France, Austria and Finland, where at least 6 out of 10 respondents are against it. Support for the further enlargement of the European Union continues to be stronger in the ten new Member States (66%). As in autumn 2005, a 25-point difference exists between the results obtained in the 15 old Member States and the ten new Member States, highlighting the persisting diversity of opinions as regards the geographical evolution of the European Union. In the accession and candidate countries, around two out of three respondents interviewed are in favour of further enlargement. Turkey forms a clear exception: support here has further weakened to 45% (-7 points). Although 62% of Bulgarians support further enlargement, public opinion is somewhat more volatile compared to autumn 2005, with a 7-point drop in support that is mirrored by an equal increase in “don’t know” responses.

As the following table shows, Denmark is the only country where the percentage of people who are in favour of further enlargement increased markedly (+5 points) since autumn 2005. We find notably lower levels of support in 14 of the 25 Member States, with the largest drops recorded in Greece (-18 points) and Finland (-10 points)89. There is also a group of countries where support for enlargement has not increased, but the percentage of people who are against enlargement is now notably lower. This is the case in Sweden, Spain and Malta 90

Greek opinion has taken a remarkable turn over the last few months. Here, support for enlargement has traditionally been among the highest in the European Union, but the latest results signal a strong decline in support levels (from 74% to 56%). It appears from these results that recent developments relating to the accession of Bulgaria and Romania and the debate about Turkey have had a strong influence on public opinion. Further analysis indicates that the largest differences in opinion on this issue are based on peoples’ age and education but that peoples’ political views and perceived type of locality are also important in explaining differences. Those most likely to support enlargement are young, highly educated, towards the left of the political scale and living in an urban environment.

CONCLUSIONS

This Standard Eurobarometer survey was carried out in spring 2006, at a time of reflection, following the negative outcome of the referenda on the European Constitution in France and the Netherlands, and during a period of public debate and consultation about which course to take in the future. At the same time, spring 2006 was also marked by an improving European economy.

♦ Confidence in the European Union has improved. Support for EU membership now stands at 55% (+5), the score for the perceived benefits of membership is 54% (+2) and the European Union’s image is positive according to 50% of its citizens (+6). Trust in the European Union has increased from 45% to 48% and confidence levels in the European Institutions are slightly more positive than in 2005.

♦ Despite continuing concerns about unemployment, the mood about the

economic situation is now more upbeat than in autumn 2005. The public is generally confident about the European economy, with 54% expecting it to perform better in 5 years time.

♦ The feeling that one’s voice does not count in the European Union has gone

down from 59% to 54% and the level of satisfaction with the way democracy works in the European Union is, at 50%, the most positive score achieved in the past ten years.

♦ Europeans now rate their level of knowledge about the European Union, its

policies and its institutions somewhat higher than was the case in autumn 2005 and more people now feel they understand how the European Union works (46%, +5 points).

♦ There is broad support for the EU’s role in the following fields: combating

terrorism, defence and foreign affairs and protection of the environment. On the other hand, a relative majority of respondents share the view that the EU plays a negative role when it comes to tax, inflation, pensions and fighting unemployment. However, the expectations are strong in this last area, as 43% of the Europeans think that fighting unemployment is the action that the EU should give priority to along with fighting poverty (also 43%).

♦ Support for the European Security and Defence Policy, the European

Common Foreign Policy and the single currency remains widespread.

EUROBAROMETER 65 Report

♦ Overall, the public continues to express faith in the future of the European

Constitution. The majority of European Union citizens consider that adopting the European Constitution will make the way in which the European Union works more democratic, efficient and transparent. However, public opinion in the countries that still need to ratify the European Constitution is volatile: 47% are in favour of the European Constitution, 29% are opposed to it and 24% lack an opinion. A strong positive relationship between support for and knowledge of the European Constitution has been noted, highlighting the importance of informing citizens about the contents of the Constitution.

♦ Support for enlargement further weakens and the gap between supporters

(45%, -4 compared to the autumn 2005) and opponents (42%, +3) of further enlargement of the EU is now very small.

♦ Lastly, the survey confirms citizens’ growing expectations of the European

Union in the future. On average, 46% want the European Union to play a more important role in five years time, 31% want it to play the same role and only 15% want it to play a less important one.

EUROBAROMETER “Standard” 65.2 TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS

Between the 27th of March and the 1st of May 2006, TNS Opinion & Social, a consortium created between Taylor Nelson Sofres and EOS Gallup Europe, carried out wave 65.2 of the EUROBAROMETER, on request of the EUROPEAN COMMISSION, Directorate General Communication, “Public Opinion and Media Monitoring”. The EUROBAROMETER “Standard” is part of wave 65.2 and covers the population of the respective nationalities of the European Union Member States, resident in each of the Member States and aged 15 years and over. The EUROBAROMETER “Standard” has also been conducted in the two acceding countries (Bulgaria and Romania) and in the two candidate countries (Croatia and Turkey) and in the Turkish Cypriot Community. In these countries, the survey covers the national population of citizens of the respective nationalities and the population of citizens of all the European Union Member States that are residents in those countries and have a sufficient command of one of the respective national language(s) to answer the questionnaire. The basic sample design applied in all states is a multi-stage, random (probability) one. In each country, a number of sampling points was drawn with probability proportional to population size (for a total coverage of the country) and to population density. In order to do so, the sampling points were drawn systematically from each of the "administrative regional units", after stratification by individual unit and type of area. They thus represent the whole territory of the countries surveyed according to the EUROSTAT NUTS II (or equivalent) and according to the distribution of the resident population of the respective nationalities in terms of metropolitan, urban and rural areas. In each of the selected sampling points, a starting address was drawn, at random. Further addresses (every Nth address) were selected by standard "random route" procedures, from the initial address. In each household, the respondent was drawn, at random (following the "closest birthday rule"). All interviews were conducted face-to-face in people's homes and in the appropriate national language. As far as the data capture is concerned, CAPI (Computer Assisted Personal Interview) was used in those countries where this technique was available.

European Commission

For each country a comparison between the sample and the universe was carried out. The Universe description was derived from Eurostat population data or from national statistics offices. For all countries surveyed, a national weighting procedure, using marginal and intercellular weighting, was carried out based on this Universe description. In all countries, gender, age, region and size of locality were introduced in the iteration procedure. For international weighting (i.e. EU averages), TNS Opinion & Social applies the official population figures as provided by EUROSTAT or national statistic offices. The total population figures for input in this post-weighting procedure are listed above. Readers are reminded that survey results are estimations, the accuracy of which, everything being equal, rests upon the sample size and upon the observed percentage. With samples of about 1,000 interviews, the real percentages vary within the following confidence limits:

Observed percentages 10% or 90% 20% or 80% 30% or 70% 40% or 60% 50%

Confidence limits ± 1.9 points ± 2.5 points ± 2.7 points ± 3.0 points ± 3.1 points
