INTRODUCTION
In the aftermath of the French and Dutch “no” to the Constitution, a period of
reflection was opened, based on introspection but also with the aim of closing the
communication gap with citizens. This involves critically reviewing the European
Union’s successes and failures, with a view to re-launching European construction and
preparing for Europe’s future.
The launch in 2005 of “Plan D for Democracy, Dialogue and Debate” is evidence of this
determination to develop an ongoing dialogue with European Union citizens in order to
take onboard their concerns, hopes and ideas for the future of Europe. The adoption on
1 February last of the White paper on a European Communication Policy1 is a call for
action on how we can close the gap between the EU and its citizens. Communication
on Europe is a matter of democracy.
In this context, the Directorate-General Communication has commissioned a wide-

ranging Special Eurobarometer on the subject of Europe’s future. To this end, almost
25 000 people in the 25 European Union Member States were interviewed, using the
Eurobarometer surveys’ methodology2.
More precisely, the aims of this study are:
- to gain a better understanding of the state of mind of Europeans and their

approach to Europe;
- to analyse how European citizens perceive the image of the European Union;
- to assess how European citizens perceive the European Union’s successes

and failures in terms of European construction to date;
- to take stock of what Europeans expect today in terms of policies and the
participation of citizens.
This report will begin by addressing the current environment in which Europeans live.
It will analyse in detail how European citizens assess 40 years of European
construction. It will highlight what Europeans want and what they believe to be the
best way of constructing the European Union’s future.
The results of this study are presented at the level of the European Union, as well as
by individual Member States and, where relevant, by socio-demographic categories,
with a view to verifying the assumption that certain patterns can be identified
depending on the respondent’s background.

A sample of 24 750 face-to-face interviews, carried out in the homes of the people interviewed, is
representative of the European population aged 15 and over and living in each of the 25 Member States of
the European Union. The interviews were conducted by the TNS Opinion & Social network between 20
February and 24 March 2006.
-4-
1. THE CONTEXTUAL INDICATORS
The attitude and opinions of Europeans on the subject of Europe’s future are quite
logically influenced by their living and working environment. It is therefore appropriate to
examine the family, professional and economic situation of the people interviewed in
order to gain an insight into their state of mind.
1.1 Are Europeans happy?
In a socio-economic climate that is often described as depressed, it is important to

ascertain whether this depressed climate affects European Union citizens both personally
and professionally.
1.1.1 Harmonious personal and professional lives
- European citizens are happy both in their personal life and professionally -
Questionnaire Source: QA3.1 - QA3.2
Despite the gloomy picture portrayed in certain media, Europeans are happy. They are
unanimously happy with both their family life (90%) and their current occupation (84%)3.
The differences between the Member States are slight, even if the responses tend to
reflect a slightly less positive attitude in the new Member States (84% are happy with
their family life compared with 91% in the fifteen old Member States), in particular in
Latvia and Lithuania (around 80%).
Please tell me to what extent you agree or disagree
with the following statements. (% EU25)
You are happy

with your 90
family life
You are happy

current
occupation

QA3. Please tell me to what extent you agree or disagree with the following statements.
1. You are happy with your family life; 2. You are happy with your current occupation. Results shown for the
item « occupation » concern persons who are currently working.
-5-
The responses to the first two questions are very homogeneous from a socio-
demographic point of view. It is nevertheless important to point out that the older the
respondents, the less they tend to be satisfied. People living on their own in particular are
significantly more dissatisfied than those who live as a couple (76% versus 93%) or in a
household composed of four or more people (95%). The unemployed are also
significantly less happy with their family life than the rest of the population (83%).
The intensity of the responses also varies according to the respondent’s occupation. For
example, people in a managerial role seem happier in their work than blue-collar workers
(90% versus 80%). Furthermore, the higher the level of education of the respondent the
more they seem to be satisfied with their current occupation.
-6-
1.1.2 Citizen satisfaction with life in their country
- Citizens are happy living in their country -
Questionnaire Source: QA3.3
In addition to their satisfaction on a personal level, European citizens are once again
unanimous in declaring that they are happy living in their country4. The distribution of
responses on this point, and particularly the proportion of citizens who totally agree with
the statement, is most positive: more than half of all respondents are very happy living in
their country. The differences between countries are slight and are only really discernible
in terms of the intensity of responses. For example, citizens in the Czech Republic,
Slovakia and Italy are less likely to declare that they are very happy living in their
respective countries. On the other hand, Hungarians seem to be an exception to the rule,
with an overall level of satisfaction of only 59%.
Contrary to certain preconceived ideas, there is practically no difference between the

responses of people living in rural areas and those living in large urban centres (90%
versus 89%). Other than that, children of immigrants from non-European countries are
slightly less likely to declare that they are happy living in their respective country (86%
compared with 90% for children whose parents are native of the countries participating in
the survey).

3. You are happy living in (OUR COUNTRY)

1.2 The difficulties of Europeans
- More than one in three citizens has difficulties “making ends meet” -
Questionnaire Source: QA3.4
Despite these initial positive indicators, the economic reality cannot be ignored and can
be seen as qualifying to some extent the views of respondents. In order to obtain an
indication of the socio-economic level of the respondents, we asked them whether they
had difficulties paying all their bills at the end of the month5. In fact, more than a third of
European citizens (37% exactly) answered yes to that question.
However, this average European percentage conceals significant differences between

countries. Although the difference between the responses in the 15 old Member States
and the 10 new Member States is small (36% versus 40%, i.e. a difference of 4 points), a
majority of respondents in Portugal (61%), Greece and Italy (58%), Lithuania (54%) and
to a lesser extent in Malta (48%) and Latvia (47%) acknowledge that they have
difficulties “making ends meet”. On the contrary, citizens in Scandinavia seem to have far
fewer difficulties paying their bills at the end of the month.
5
4. You have difficulties paying all your bills at the end of the month
-8-
The profile of the respondents who have difficulties managing their monthly budget is
fairly clear-cut. They tend to be above all people aged between 25 and 54 (42%) – that is
to say part of the active population, people who left school at an early age (45%), the
unemployed (57%) but also blue-collar workers (44% versus 21% of managers).
-9-
1.3 How “European” are European Union citizens?
- Almost one out of two citizens socialises with other European nationals -
Questionnaire Source: QA5.1 – Q5.2 – Q5.3
The aim of this question was to gain a better understanding of the role of Europe in the
daily life of citizens, i.e. how “European” they are. Do they travel within the European
Union, do they read books, newspapers or magazines in another language, do they
socialise with people from other European Union countries? 6
The main conclusion is that only a minority of interviewees participate in actual

“European activities”. However, the first of these activities is also that which requires
the greatest involvement on the part of the people concerned: socialising with people
from other Member States (a reality for 43% of interviewees). Citizens from the
Netherlands (74%) and Northern Europe tend to socialise the most with fellow Europeans
from other Member States. On the contrary, citizens in Hungary (19%), Portugal (22%),
Spain (24%) and Greece (31%) seem to socialise less on this level.
6
QA5. In the last 12 months have you…?
1. Visited another European Union country; 2. Read a book, newspaper or magazine in a language other
than your mother tongue; 3. Socialised with people from another European Union country
- 10 -
Otherwise, over the last twelve months, just over a third of European citizens have
visited another European Union country. There is a strong correlation between
visiting another European country and socialising with nationals from other European
Union countries. In this regard, the distribution of responses by country is fairly close to
that recorded for the previous point (citizens from Northern Europe travel far more within
the European Union than citizens from Southern Europe). If we cross-reference the
responses to both of these questions, we note that 75% of the people who have visited
another European Union country over the last twelve months have socialised with people
from another EU country.
- 11 -
Finally, almost a quarter of the people interviewed (23%) declared that they have
regularly or occasionally read a book, newspaper or magazine in a language other than
their mother tongue. Although there is no significant difference between Eastern and
Western European Union countries, it should be noted that Northern European citizens
are far more likely to read books etc. in a foreign language (with two notable exceptions
in the case of the United Kingdom and Ireland where only 17% of British and 13% of
Irish citizens read in a language other than English).
From a socio-demographic point of view, young people, those with the highest level of
education, managers, people living in large urban areas and above all regular Internet
users seem to be the most “European” of European Union citizens in their daily life.

1.4 Awareness regarding national and European political matters
Before analysing how European citizens perceive the successes and failures of European
construction, it is in our view important to assess how aware citizens are of national and
European political matters and whether they consider that their country and the European
Union are moving in the right direction.
1.4.1 Interest in politics
- Lukewarm interest in European affairs… -
Questionnaire Source: QA6.1-2 - QA24.1-2
As the last European elections demonstrated quite clearly, the level of mobilisation of
European citizens when it comes to European affairs is relatively low compared with the
turnout in national elections. This difference is equally apparent when comparing the
interest shown by European citizens in national political matters and European political
matters7. While 63% of respondents in the European Union state that they are interested
in their country’s politics, only a minority share that view as regards European politics
(47%). It should be noted that 30% of people who have a clear interest in national
political matters are not interested in European politics.
7
QA24. Would you say that you are very interested, fairly interested, not very interested or not at all
interested in…?
1. Domestic affairs; 2. European affairs
- 13 -
Equally, while the vast majority of Europeans regularly or occasionally discuss national
political matters when they get together with friends or relatives (72%), they are far less
likely to discuss European affairs (59%)8. On this point, citizens in Denmark, Austria and
Germany seem to be the most motivated to discuss European political matters unlike the
vast majority of Spanish and Portuguese citizens.
Regarding the question on interest in European political matters, the cleavages already
noted in previous studies on the degree of politicisation among European citizens are
once again apparent: women (41%, 13 points less than men), young people aged
between 15 and 24 (41%), people who left school the earliest (33%), in other words the
most vulnerable categories, are far less interested in such matters.
8
QA6. When you get together with friends or relatives, would you say you discuss frequently, occasionally
or never about...?
1. National political matters; 2. European political matters
- 14 -
- …which is confirmed by the knowledge test -
Questionnaire Source: QA23.1-3
The responses to the questions used to assess the objective knowledge of European
Union citizens with regard to key elements of European construction confirm the results
presented above. The greater the respondents’ interest in European affairs, the higher
they score in terms of their knowledge of how the European Union operates: 30% of
those who declared that they are interested in European political matters were capable of
correctly answering all three questions used in this test9 (the corresponding percentage
for the entire sample is 22%).
For each of the following statements about the

European Union could you please tell me whether you
think it is true or false?

As regards this test, it should be noted that men (27% gave three right answers
compared with 18% of women), people who studied the longest (31%) and regular
Internet users (26%) have the highest scores.
9
QA23. For each of the following statements about the European Union could you please tell me whether
you think it is true or false?
1. The European Union currently consists of fifteen Member States; 2. The members of the European
Parliament are directly elected by the citizens of the European Union; 3. (OUR COUNTRY) has a European
Commissioner
- 15 -
1.4.2 The direction in which things are going
- The feeling that things will improve at the European rather than the
national level -
Questionnaire Source: QA14
As we have seen, the vast majority of respondents are satisfied with their family and
professional life. However, opinions on the national outlook are far from being as positive.
There is even a certain pessimism among respondents regarding the future of
their country10, with 43% of interviewees considering that “things are going in the
wrong direction” in their country, compared with 34% who take the opposite view.
In other words, there is an important difference between the way in which

citizens see their current personal situation and their perception of how it will
be tomorrow. These concerns for the future at national levels are particularly strong in
the 15 old Member States, primarily in France (68% of French citizens believe that things
are going in the wrong direction), Portugal (47%), Italy and the United Kingdom (45%).
10
QA14. At the present time, would you say that, in general, things are going in the right direction or in the
wrong direction, in…?
1. (OUR COUNTRY); 2. The European Union
- 16 -
The results for the European Union are more positive and a (relative) majority of
interviewees consider that things are moving in the right direction in the European
Union (39% versus 27% who take the opposite view).
However, this European average conceals considerable differences from one Member
State to another. First of all, there is a difference of 17 points between the result
obtained in the fifteen old Member States (36%) and that recorded in the ten new
Member States (53%). Next, citizens are particularly pessimistic in France (48%
believe that things are going in the wrong direction in the European Union), Austria
(44%), Finland (43%) and to a lesser extent Luxembourg (36%), a country which is
traditionally “Euro-phile”.
- 17 -
On the other hand, a vast majority of citizens in the Baltic States, Poland and Ireland
among others, consider that things are going in the right direction in the European
Union.
As regards the outlook both nationally and at the European level, women, the oldest
respondents, those who left school the earliest and blue-collar workers tend to be more
pessimistic regarding these indicators. Finally, respondents are more likely to take the
view that things are going in the right direction at the European level if they have a
similar positive view of the outlook for their country (76%).
- 18 -
2. TIME TO TAKE STOCK
At a time when the European Union is pondering on its future, it is important to see what
lessons can be learnt from the past. In this part of the report we shall successively
address the way in which Europeans perceive the European Union, how they judge their
country’s membership of the EU, their perception of the level of European integration and
finally, the successes and failures of European construction.
2.1 The European Union’s image
We have decided to cover this subject by way of two different types of questions. First of
all, interviewees were asked to spontaneously state what the words “European Union”
evoked for them. Then, we asked whether or not they associated certain adjectives with
the European Union.
2.1.1 Spontaneous declarations
- The European Union is above all a symbol of cooperation between the

Member States -
On the basis of the frequency of responses given to this open question11 it would appear
that five things first come to mind when citizens hear the words “European Union”. The
first two concern the functioning of the European Institutions, while the next three
concern specific policies carried out by the European Union.
The first group of responses concerns cooperation between the Member States, the
decision-making process and European legislation (22% of respondents referred to this
aspect). The second group specifically mentions the European Institutions (19%).
As regards European Union policies, the Euro figures particularly prominently in the
spontaneous responses given by respondents. The single currency has the highest score
for policies (15%), ahead of mobility in the European Union, particularly as regards the
free movement of services and people (11%) and the Single Market (9%).
11
QA4. When you hear the words "European Union", what comes to your mind first? And what else? (OPEN
QUESTION – MULTIPLE ANSWERS POSSIBLE). As a reminder, the coding of this open-ended question was
done ex post. Therefore, all the coded responses shown in the annexes were not proposed to the
respondents.

It is noteworthy that the most negative dimensions such as “it is a bad idea and I am
against the idea of the European Union…” (5%), “it means a loss of national identity…”
(3%) or “it is a waste of time, I regret that my country joined the European Union…”
(5%) were only spontaneously mentioned by a minority of respondents.
A detailed analysis of the results by Member States highlights certain specific national
characteristics:
- Belgium: 30% of Belgians consider that the European Union is above all
synonymous with cooperation, unity, equality, common decisions among
Member States (versus 22% on average).
- Czech Republic: 13% of Czech citizens spontaneously mentioned that they

regretted their country’s membership of the European Union (versus 5% at the
European level).
- Germany: 25% of Germans mentioned the Euro as the main symbol of the
European Union (versus 15% on average) and 18% referred to mobility
(compared with 11% overall).
- Greece: 22% of Greeks spontaneously mentioned the single currency and

17% regret the increase in prices (versus 5% on average).
- Spain: 29% of Spanish citizens think above all of cooperation between the
Member States when they hear the words “European Union”.
- 20 -
- France: 39% of French citizens see the European Union first and foremost as
a series of institutions (i.e. 20 points higher than the average) and 7%
consider that the decision-making process at the European level is too
cumbersome (versus 3% overall).
- Italy: 27% of Italians spontaneously mentioned the Euro (i.e. 12 points more
than the average).
- Cyprus: for 21% of respondents in Cyprus the words “European Union” are
above all synonymous with price increases.
- Latvia: 18% of citizens in Latvia consider that European Union membership is

a waste of time, however 13% believe on the contrary that it represents
progress (versus 8% on average).
- Lithuania: 15% share the scepticism of some of their neighbours in Latvia,

while 21% mentioned mobility within the European Union.
- Malta: 22% of citizens in Malta mentioned the trade opportunities resulting

from European Union membership, in particular due to the Single Market (9%
of replies on average), but 14% consider that the EU is a bad idea, a
regression.
- The Netherlands: for 38% of the Dutch, the European Union is synonymous
with cooperation between the Member States; however 15% of them consider
that it is a waste of time and money (7% at European level).
- Austria: the majority of Austrian results can be qualified as Euro sceptics;

18% of them spontaneously mentioned inflation, 16% their disappointment at
being part of the European Union and 13% mentioned the potential negative
consequences of immigration.
- Poland: for 23% of Polish citizens the words “European Union” have a positive
connotation, such as progress or a better future (i.e. 8 points higher than on
average).
- Portugal: A third of Portuguese citizens associate the European Union above

all with its institutions.
- Slovakia: 35% of citizens in Slovakia evoke first and foremost mobility within
the European Union (i.e. 24 points higher than at the European level)
- Finland: 14% of Finnish citizens consider that European Union membership is

a waste of time.
- Sweden: 21% of Swedish citizens spontaneously declared that membership of

the European Union is a waste of time and money.
- United Kingdom: the United Kingdom result does not stand out from that
obtained at the level of the 25 Member States. In other words, the negative
aspects mentioned by UK citizens do not outweigh those mentioned in the
other Member States.
- 21 -
It is worthwhile cross-tabulating the responses to this open question with those obtained
for the question on the merits of European Union membership, in order to better
understand whether the respondents’ answers to the question on what the words
“European Union” evoke have positive or negative connotations.

The table above shows that the responses referring to cooperation and the functioning of
the European Institutions are more positive than negative. On the other hand, it should
be noted that the Euro is mentioned as much by supporters of European Union
membership as its detractors.
- 22 -
2.1.2 Characteristics associated with the European Union
- A European Union that is democratic and modern at the same time -
A large majority of respondents see the European Union as being modern and democratic
(67%)12. The European Union is also perceived, albeit to a lesser extent, as protective
(54%).
Although the three positive dimensions presented to respondents obtained the highest
rankings, almost one in two citizens (49%) considers that the word “technocratic” is an
appropriate description of the European Union and 43% of respondents believe that the
European Union can be described as “inefficient”.
Please tell for each of the following words if it describes very well,
fairly well, fairly badly or very badly the idea you might have of the
European Union. (Answers : describes well)
Democratic 67%
Modern 67%
Protective 54%

QA9. Please tell for each of the following words if it describes very well, fairly well, fairly badly or very
badly the idea you might have of the European Union.
1. Modern; 2. Democratic; 3. Protective; 4. Inefficient; 5. Technocratic
- 23 -
In our view, it is worthwhile identifying the European Union’s shortcomings in the

framework of this analysis. Accordingly, we have chosen to highlight the countries which
are most likely to opt for negative adjectives to describe the European Union. The
countries in question are chiefly the Scandinavian countries, above all Sweden and
Denmark followed, to a lesser degree, by Finland. Citizens in the Netherlands, Austria and
the United Kingdom are also fairly critical, especially when asked for their opinion on
adjectives such as “inefficient” and “technocratic”.
Citizens of the ten new Member States generally have a more positive perception of the
European Union’s image than those of the 15 old Member States. It should nevertheless
be noted that respondents seem to find it very difficult to express an opinion with regard
to “technocratic”, as illustrated by the high level of “don’t know” responses.
« Describes well the idea you might have of the European Union.… »

Protective 54% 53% 58%
Technocratic 49% 51% 41%
Inefficient 43% 45% 32%
- 24 -
From a socio-demographic standpoint, the cleavages previously mentioned remain valid:

the most vulnerable population groups tend to be the least positive for all these
descriptions, in particular as regards the “democratic” aspect (61% of people having left
school at an early age) and “protective” (46%).
Nevertheless, there is an interesting exception which runs counter to certain conclusions

already established: the higher the respondents’ level of education, the more they
consider that the European Union is technocratic (59% of people who studied beyond the
age of 20) and inefficient (48%). In other words, these criticisms are advanced by
people who are traditionally pro-European Union.

2.2 The judgment on European Union membership
- European Union membership is a good thing for almost one out of two
citizens -
Source Questionnaire: QA7
The judgement of European citizens on their country’s membership of the European

Union is the first real indicator as regards taking stock of the building of Europe and its
successes and failures. This question has been asked almost systematically in all the
Standard Eurobarometers13.
The results obtained in this survey confirm the scores obtained last October and are close
to those recorded two years ago. Since 1995, the results to this question have been fairly
stable: approximately 50% of European Union citizens believe that their country’s
membership of the European Union is a good thing, compared with a sixth of citizens who
take the opposite view.

QA7. Generally speaking, do you think that (OUR COUNTRY)'s membership of the European Union is...?
- 26 -
Citizens in Austria (33% consider that their membership is a bad thing), the United
Kingdom (25%), Finland (also 25%) and Sweden (23%) are the most critical on this
point. Moreover, more than one out of two citizens in Latvia adopts a neutral stance for
this question (54% compared with 32% on average).
The differences in socio-demographic terms seem relatively significant on this

dimension. It should be noted in particular that:
- Men tend to be more positive than women (53% versus 44%);
- The younger the respondents, the more they tend to have a positive opinion
on European Union membership (59% of the 15-24 age group compared
with 43% for the 55 and over age group);
- The level of education also influences the responses: 63% of respondents

who studied beyond the age of 20 consider that membership is a good thing
(versus 35% for those who left school the earliest);
- Those to the left of the political spectrum tend to be more likely to view
membership positively (55%) than those on the right (49%)
- 27 -
2.3 The level of European integration
- Divided opinions on the political, economic

and cultural unification of the European Union -
Questionnaire Source: QA10.1 - QA10.2 - QA10.3
Opinions of interviewees are more indeterminate as regards their assessment of the level
of European economic, political and cultural integration14. Although, on average, just over
one in two respondents considers that a certain number of things have been
accomplished in these respective areas, a far from negligible proportion of them
considers that a lot still remains to be done, in particular as regards political
unification.

QA10. For each of the following areas, please tell me if you think that for… a lot has been achieved so far,
a fair amount has been achieved so far, very little has been achieved so far or nothing has been achieved so
far?
1. Economic unification of Europe; 2. Political unification of Europe; 3. Cultural cooperation in Europe
- 28 -
Citizens in the ten new Member States seem more ready to acknowledge progress
towards the political unification of Europe (54%) than in the fifteen old Member States
(42%). Progress in this area seems to be less clearly perceived in the Netherlands (62%
of Dutch citizens consider that very little or nothing has been achieved in this area),
France (56%), as well as Sweden and Belgium (52%).
When the responses to this question are cross-tabulated with those on the question of
European Union membership, there are considerable cleavages between the sub-
categories of the European population.

- 29 -
The table above shows that the more the respondents are in favour of European Union
membership the more they consider that progress has been significant in these areas.
The opposite is true as regards those opposing membership. We can therefore make
several assumptions:
- Opponents of membership are disappointed by the progress made towards

integration, which explains in part their “Euro-scepticism”;
- A lack of knowledge about this process may also lead to some frustration;
- As these opponents expect a priori “nothing” from Europe, they may find a
certain satisfaction in the freeze in the European unification process.
- 30 -
2.4 The successes and failures of the European Union
- For European citizens, the objectives of the founding fathers have been
achieved -
Referring to the foundation of the “House of Europe”, Jean Monnet declared: “This first
Common Market, these first supranational institutions, are the first steps towards the
unification of Europe. The rules, institutions, which we will establish will contribute
essentially to guide the action of the men and women of Europe towards peace.”16
Echoing Jean Monnet, almost one out of two Europeans (43%) considers that peace
among Member States is the most positive result of European unification17. For more than
a quarter of European citizens (29%), the Single Market is the European Union’s biggest
success story. The Euro comes in third place in the list of the most positive results
(10%). It should be noted that the Common Agricultural Policy, despite being the main
absorber of the EU budget, was mentioned by only 3% of interviewees, behind student
exchange programmes such as ERASMUS (6%).
When interviewees were given the opportunity to add a second response, and when this
is added to the first, it is noteworthy that peace (60%) and the free movement of people,
goods and services (56%) are equally important in the eyes of European citizens.
Which of the following do you think is the most positive
result of European unification?

16
Speech available on http://europa.eu.int/comm/avservices/audio/audio_archives_fr.cfm
17
This is based on the rankings obtained using the first response given by the people interviewed.
- 31 -
Overall, there are no significant differences between Member States as regards opinions
on the success stories of European unification. The results in the individual Member
States are more or less in line with those recorded at the European level in terms of
rankings. However, some specific national characteristics are noteworthy:
- Citizens in Belgium (54%), Luxembourg (53%) and Ireland (51%), rank the
Euro as the second most positive result of European unification;
- For 22% of Hungarian citizens (versus 11% on average), the CAP is one of the
most positive achievements of the European Union;
- 21% of British citizens spontaneously consider that there is nothing positive
about European unification.
From a socio-demographic point of view, the main variations concern the intensity of the
responses depending on the variables proposed: (logically) young people mention more
readily ERASMUS type programmes than older people, while the older generations attach
more importance to “peace”.
The only really significant difference concerns the interviewees’ level of education and
professional status (the two are often linked). For example, once all the responses are
taken into account, respondents having studied the longest consider that the
accomplishment of the Single Market is the most positive result of European unification
(67%)18. Finally, it is interesting to note that citizens who are opposed to their country’s
membership of the European Union nevertheless acknowledge that European unification
can produce some positive results. The table below illustrates this observation.

If we take into account only the first reply given by this category, peace obtains the highest score (41%,
ahead of the free movement of people, goods and services with 36%).
- 32 -
2.5 Focus on the Euro
- Opinions are divided on the possible consequences of

not introducing the Euro -
Numerous Eurobarometer studies19 have shown that, overall, citizens of the Euro zone
have a positive perception of the changeover. They also show however that citizens in the
new Member States which are preparing for the introduction of the Euro have some
doubts.
The aim of this part of the questionnaire20 was to place the people interviewed in a
hypothetical situation: what would have happened (or would happen) if the Euro had not
been introduced (was not introduced)? What would have been the effects of not
introducing the Euro in the Euro zone Member States on foreign exchange markets, the
competitiveness of national economies and in terms of inflation?
Overall, the (relative or absolute) majority of interviewees both in and outside the Euro
zone acknowledge the benefits of the single currency. However, the differences between
supporters of the Euro and its detractors are small. First of all, almost one out of two
interviewees considers that the national currencies would have been (or would be) more
vulnerable on foreign exchange markets. Secondly, 45% of inhabitants of the Euro zone
consider that their economy would not have been more competitive if the Euro had not
been introduced in their country (38% have a different vision of things). On this point,
opinions are particularly divided outside the Euro zone (41% versus 40%).

The aspects for which opinions are the most divided between European citizens from the
Euro zone and those outside, concern the effect of the changeover to the Euro on prices.
Some 45% of interviewees in the Euro zone (relative majority) do not agree with the
statement that inflation would have been much higher if the single currency had not been
introduced. Outside the Euro zone, the opposite is true: 41% consider that the
introduction of the Euro can have a positive effect on price increases.
An analysis of the results by country reveals:
- In the Euro zone: Germany stands out from the other countries which
introduced the Euro by its generally critical view of the potential effects of the
Euro. It is the only country where a majority of citizens consider that the
national economy would have been more competitive without the Euro. A
majority of citizens in Germany, the Netherlands and Austria do not believe
that their old currency would have been vulnerable on the foreign exchange
markets. Some 42% of French citizens (versus 39% who do not share that
opinion) agree with this group of countries that the Euro has not reduced
inflation.
- Outside the Euro zone: a majority of interviewees in Denmark and the United
Kingdom have a negative opinion of the single currency. In addition, a relative
majority of citizens in Cyprus, Sweden and the United Kingdom consider that
their economy would be more competitive if the Euro were not introduced in
their country.
A socio-demographic analysis of the results does not reveal any really new elements.
Criticism of the Euro tends to be strongest among the most vulnerable population groups:
old people, people having left school early and those in unskilled occupations.
- 34 -
2.6 The European Union’s performance
- A critical judgement with regard to certain major challenges facing society,

such as the fight against unemployment and the protection of social rights -
In order to asses the European Union’s performance in various areas, the interviewees
were asked to give their assessment on a scale from 1 to 1021. Only four of the fifteen
aspects on which citizens were asked to give their opinion obtained an average
score higher than 5.5: namely cooperation in the field of research and innovation (5.8),
the protection of human rights (5.7), equal treatment between men and women (5.6)
and the promotion of democracy and peace in the world (5.6).
A second group of policies follows with six aspects where the scores obtained vary
between 5.2 and 5.5. These policies concern essentially two major areas of concern for
citizens: on the one hand security (the fight against terrorism, the fight against organised
crime, the prevention of major health issues, ensuring food safety) and, on the other
hand, environmental issues (protection of the environment and the continuity of energy
supplies).
Using a scale from 1 to 10, how would you judge the performance of
the European Union in each of the following areas?
(EU 25 Average)
Cooperation in the field of research and innovation 5,8
The protection of human rights 5,7
Equal treatment of men and women 5,6
The promotion of democracy and peace in the world 5,6
Ensuring food safety 5,5
The fight against terrorism 5,4
The prevention of major health issues 5,4
Ensuring continuous energy provision 5,4
The protection of the environment 5,3
The fight against organised crime 5,2
The protection of agriculture 5,1
Helping poor people in the world 5,1
Ensuring economic growth 4,9
The protection of social rights 4,7
The fight against unemployment 3,8
21
QA13. Using a scale from 1 to 10, how would you judge the performance of the European Union in each
of the following areas? '1' means that the European Union’s performance in a specific area is "not at all
satisfactory" and '10' means that its performance is "very satisfactory".
- 35 -
Finally, European citizens are more critical of the European Union’s performance in five
specific areas, where they have strong expectations. Numerous studies (notably the
Eurobarometers) have shown the importance that Europeans attach to these issues22.
European citizens are particularly critical of the fight against unemployment (3.8) and the
protection of social rights (4.7).
The differences observed regarding the average scores obtained at the national level are
not significant enough to be described as representing real national differences in
judgement. Overall, the countries traditionally identified as “Euro-sceptics” are also those
where the European Union’s performance is judged most negatively in each of the areas
in question: notably the United Kingdom, Sweden and Austria.
The only dimension where there is any real cleavage in the results concerns the verdict
on the fight against unemployment. The scores vary between 2.8 (in Germany) and 5.9
(in Ireland). Similar to the Germans, citizens in Austria (3.1), France and Greece (3.4)
have a fairly negative view of the European Union’s performances in this specific area.
From a socio-demographic point of view, the cleavages already noted above are
confirmed here. The following groups are more likely to be critical of the European
Union’s performance in these areas: women, the elderly, those who left school early,
people with a low socio-professional status and those who believe that things are going
in the wrong direction in their country. In other words, there seems to be a need
for the European Union to convince above all the population groups which,
precisely, seem to be the most disillusioned concerning their national
situation.
22
For this point see the results of Eurobarometer 64, which shows that 44% of European Union citizens
consider that unemployment is the most important national problem.

3. THE FUTURE EUROPE
In a social and economic context which is often perceived as gloomy, on what bases
should the future of Europe be built? This part of the report will initially analyse the
expectations of European citizens and what they consider to be the best ways to ensure
the future of the European Union. It will then examine how European citizenship can be
strengthened in the framework of Plan D. Finally, it will focus on two challenges which
directly or indirectly affect the future of the European Union: enlargement and
globalisation.
3.1 The expectations of Europeans
The expectations of European citizens for the future of the European Union are both
political and social.
3.1.1 Best ways to ensure the future of Europe
- Comparable living standards as the key elements for the future of Europe -
More than one out of two interviewees considers that comparable living standards is (by
far) the key element for the European Union’s future23. Without wishing to undermine this
observation, it is important to highlight the difference of 27 points on this point between
the results obtained in the 15 old Member States (47%) and those in the ten new
Member States (74%). This considerable difference in the perception of the key element
for the future of Europe shows to what extent the citizens of the new Member States
place this element at the heart of their concerns.
23
QA11. Which two of the following would you consider to be most helpful if anything, for the future of
Europe? (MAX. 2 ANSWERS)
- 37 -
The introduction of the Euro in all Member States (26%) and with a similar score, a
common Constitution (25%), follow in second and third places.
Finally, a common language (22%) and well-defined EU external borders complete the
ranking of the elements considered the most helpful for the future of Europe.
Which two of the following would you consider to be most

helpful if anything, for the future of Europe?
Comparable living
51%
standards
The introduction of
the Euro in all EU 26%
countries
A common
25%
Constitution
A common
22%
language
Well defined
external borders of 19%
the EU
A common army 9%
The order in which the proposed elements are ranked at the European level does not
contradict the national rankings. In almost all the Member States, comparable living
standards between countries is seen as the most helpful element. Ireland, Luxembourg
and Finland are the three exceptions to the rule: in these countries a majority of
interviewees consider that the introduction of the euro in all countries of the EU would be
an important way of ensuring the future of Europe (48%, 44% and 50% respectively,
versus 26% on average).
- 38 -
The introduction of a common Constitution is mentioned more frequently by citizens of

the fifteen old Member States (27%) than by those of the ten new Member States (16%).
In Germany, this is the second most frequently mentioned element (32%). This opinion is
also shared by 32% of citizens in the Netherlands and 29% in France, despite the results
of the two referenda organised in these countries for the ratification of the European
Constitution.
Finally, it should be noted that a far from negligible proportion of citizens in Ireland
(34%), Italy (32%), Portugal (29%) and the United Kingdom (28%) consider that a
common language would be the most helpful element for the future of Europe.
With regard to the socio-demographic variables, the differences are more a question of
intensity than real cleavages. It should be noted that the higher the respondents’ level of
education the more likely they are to emphasise comparable living standards. In the
same way, the more respondents consider that the European Union is going in the right
direction the more likely they are to highlight this element (55% compared to 51% on
average).
The introduction of the Euro in all European Union countries is mentioned by 33% of
those who consider that their country’s membership of the European Union is a good
thing (compared with “only” 13% of those who regret their country’s membership). There
is a similar difference of 19 points between these two sub-groups of the population on the
question of “a common Constitution” (33% and 14% respectively).
- 39 -
3.1.2 Political expectations
- A wish to see more European involvement at all levels -
The respondents were asked, for thirteen separate policies, whether they would like to
see more or less decision-making at the European level in the future. The results
obtained give a fairly good overview of how European citizens perceive the ideal level of
the European Union’s intervention. The conclusions linked to the results of this question
intentionally do not take account of the competences of the European Union in each of
the areas in question24.
The first observation is that the difference between “more decision-making at the
European level” and “less decision-making at the European level” is always positive. In
other words, citizens are in favour of more decision-making at the European level in
all the areas in question. Even on issues where the European Union’s performance is
considered poor (the fight against unemployment, the protection of social rights and
economic growth, for example), citizens still see decision-making at the European level as
an attractive proposal.
For each of the following areas, please tell me if you believe that more decision-making should
take place at a European level or on the contrary that less decision-making should take place at a
European level?

QA8. For each of the following areas, please tell me if you believe that more decision-making should take
place at a European level or on the contrary that less decision-making should take place at a European level.
- 40 -
It is particularly telling to cross-tabulate the results of this question with those concerning
the way in which citizens judge the European Union’s performance in each of these
areas25.
The coordinates of the points on the above chart enable us to group policies in three
sub-groups:
- The policies where the European Union “should do better”:
These are the issues which citizens consider to be the most important for
their country today. They include in particular the fight against
unemployment, the protection of social rights and economic growth. These
are the areas where the call for “more Europe” is relatively the lowest
because the European Union’s current performance in these areas is seen as
disappointing by the majority of citizens. In other words, the European
Union must be more convincing here in order to increase its
credibility and thus its legitimacy.
25
In order to construct this graph, we cross-tabulated questions 8 and 13 and have reproduced the
difference between positive and negative answers (i.e. the balance) for each of the issues tested in these
questions.
- 41 -
- The policies where the European Union “could do better”:

Studies regularly show that security and environmental issues go beyond
the geographical borders of the Member States. In the fight against
organised crime, health and environment, the call for “more Europe” is
almost seen as “self-evident” by a majority of respondents. Opinions
regarding the European Union’s performance in these areas remain however
relatively negative. The interviewees consider that the European Union could
certainly make a greater effort on these specific points.
- The policies where the European Union “could improve even more”:
These are areas where the European Union’s performance is judged

positively. They concern cooperation in research and innovation, equal
treatment between men and women, the promotion of democracy and peace
in the world. In these specific areas, the European Union must not relax its
efforts; on the contrary it must continue to pursue this course.
The vast majority of Member States want to see “more Europe” in all these areas. In
certain areas, nevertheless, and in particular in the fight against unemployment, the
difference between “more” and “less” decision-making responses is negative in the
United Kingdom, Estonia, Finland, Sweden, Denmark and to a lesser extent Lithuania.
Austrian citizens are also somewhat sceptical regarding the protection of social rights.
The socio-demographic cleavages are not pertinent here. It is simply worth noting that
the unemployed are the first to call for more decision-making at the European level in
the fight against unemployment.
- 42 -
3.1.3 Expectations as regards social welfare systems
- More than two-thirds of European are in favour of social welfare systems being
harmonised within the European Union -
In a context where, currently, each Member State has its own social welfare system, 62%
of interviewees are in favour of the harmonisation of these systems within the European
Union26; 28% are against the idea.
This desire for harmonisation in this area seems to be stronger in the ten new Member
States (81%) compared with the fifteen old Member States (58%). It is particularly
strong in Poland (86%, with 45% of Poles strongly in favour of the idea), Latvia (82%),
Hungary (81%), Slovakia (80%) and Greece (80%, including 40% “strongly in favour”).
Finland is the only one of the 25 Member States where a majority of respondents are
against the principle of harmonisation (50% compared with 47% who are in favour of the
idea).
26
QA15. Today, each European Union Member State is responsible for its own social welfare system. To
what extent would you be in favour or opposed to the harmonisation of social welfare systems within the
European Union?
- 43 -
Although the proportion of people in favour of such harmonisation is comfortable (62%),

there are nevertheless significant differences from a socio-demographic point of view, in
particular according to certain specific variables:
- Depending on the respondent’s age: 70% of young people aged between 15

and 24 are in favour of such harmonisation compared with 57% for the 55 and
over age group (i.e. a difference of 13 points);
- Depending on the level of education: 67% of respondents who studied beyond

the age of 20 are in favour of this, compared with 54% of respondents who
studied the least;
- Depending on the size of the household: the bigger the household of the
respondent, the more the respondent is in favour of the harmonisation of social
welfare systems;
- Depending on the respondent’s opinion on membership of the European Union:

this is the only criterion for which a majority is against the principle of
harmonisation in this area. Thus, 50% of those who considered that their
country’s membership of the European Union is a bad thing are against such
harmonisation.
- 44 -
3.2 Citizenship in Europe
3.2.1 What is the best way to strengthen European citizenship?
- A European social welfare system and a common Constitution are seen as

the best ways of strengthening European citizenship -
For almost a third of respondents, the harmonisation of social welfare systems, for which
each Member State is currently responsible, would be a good way of strengthening
European citizenship27. This result echoes the fairly strong support among Europeans for
the notion of harmonising these systems.
“A European Constitution” comes in second place (27%), ahead of the right to vote in all
elections organised in the Member State where the respondent lives (21%). The direct
election by Member State citizens of a President of the European Union was mentioned by
a sixth of respondents (16% exactly) while the idea of the creation of a European income
tax (to replace national income tax) was mentioned by only 11% of interviewees. At the
other end of the scale, only 5% of respondents consider that the creation of a European
Olympic team could help to strengthen the feeling of being a European citizen.
Which two of the following would strengthen your feeling about

being a European citizen? (EU25)
A European social welfare system 32%
A European Constitution 27%
Being able to vote in all elections

organised in the Member State where 21%

QA20. Which two of the following would strengthen your feeling about being a European citizen? (ROTATE
– MAX. 2 ANSWERS)
- 45 -
The variations observed in the questions of the harmonisation of social protection

systems within the European Union can be detected again. 52% of citizens in the new
Member States consider that a European Social Protect System would strengthen their
feeling of being European citizens whereas “only” 29% of citizens feel the same in the 15
old Member States (a gap of 23 points).
In detail, the ranking of answers at the European level varies significantly from one
Member State to another. “A European constitution” is mentioned most often in 5
countries: Belgium (44%) but also in the Netherlands (37%) in spite of the majority
having rejected the ratification of the text submitted in June 2005, in Estonia (35%) and
in Germany (34%).
The right to vote in all elections seems to be perceived by most respondents as a way to
strengthen the European identity in the following 5 Member States: in Denmark (50%),
Ireland (45%), Luxembourg (45%), Malta (40%) and Sweden (38%).
It is interesting to note that a quarter of respondents in the United Kingdom

spontaneously declare that they do not want to be European citizens.
It is worth mentioning that respondents’ opinion on membership of their country of the

European Union has a significant influence on the results: “A European Constitution” is
most often mentioned by citizens who assess that membership of their country is a good
thing (38% as opposed to the 12% who think that the membership to the European
Union is a bad thing).
- 46 -
3.2.2 What is the best way for citizens to ensure that their voice is heard in
Europe?
- The traditional forms of representative democracy -
In the context of an almost general decline in voter turnout at European elections which,
for some, is often see as a political representation crisis, it is important to examine the
means available to citizens to ensure that their voice is heard by decision-makers. The
results of this study show however that “voting in elections” is still, for the majority of
European citizens (56%), the most appropriate way of ensuring that their voice is heard
by decision-makers28.
A second group of possible options follows some way behind, with between 10 and 15%
of citations: signing a petition (15%), joining a political party (13%) or joining a
demonstration (10%). Citizens seem to find alternatives such as joining a consumer
association, an NGO or a trade union less relevant (9%). Only 7% of respondents
mentioned participating in debates on the Internet.
QA21. Which tw o of the follow ing do you think are the best
w ays of ensuring one’s voice is heard by decision-makers?

QA21. Which two of the following do you think are the best ways of ensuring one’s voice is heard by
decision-makers? (ROTATE – MAX. 2 ANSWERS)
- 47 -
There are no significant differences in the ranking of the responses from one Member
State to another. It is simply noteworthy that for the vast majority of Danish citizens
(83%), “voting in elections” seems to be the best way of making their voice heard by
decision-makers, while in Estonia (35%) and Lithuania (39%) this possibility is mentioned
far less frequently. For 27% of Greeks (versus 15% on average), “signing a petition” is
the best solution. For 19% of citizens in Slovakia, 17% of citizens in Greece and 14% of
Polish citizens (compared with 8% on average), “going on strike” is a good way of
making sure that their voice is heard. Estonia is an exception as regards the Internet with
28% of interviewees there mentioning “participating in debates using the Internet” as an
effective solution.
From a socio-demographic point of view, there are no variations in the overall ranking of
responses. Only the intensity of replies differs slightly, but not sufficiently to be
considered as really discriminating.

3.2.3 Willingness to participate in European consultations
- A constantly evolving participative democracy -
Questionnaire Source: QA22.1 – QA22.2
In order to attempt to measure the degree of political mobilisation of citizens on

European matters, interviewees were invited to indicate their willingness to participate in
two distinct forms of consultation or expression29: on the one hand, a European
referendum on a European issue and, on the other hand, signing a European wide
petition to tackle some issues at the European level rather than nationally. The second
proposal referred directly to in the European Constitution known as the “citizens’ right of
initiative”30.
Before analysing the results in detail, it is necessary to emphasis that the aim of this
question is not to predict a future turnout rate in such a referendum or any such petition.
In any case it alone would not be sufficient for that purpose. In addition, it remains
limited, at least as regards the hypothesis of a European referendum, according to
national laws currently in force. It is for this reason that we have intentionally chosen to
present the results to this question, not according to the average score obtained, but
solely on the basis of the responses giving a score of “10”. These are the respondents
who are the most likely to participate in a referendum or sign a petition even though they
are in a context which (at least for the time being) is completely extraneous to this type
of hypothesis.
The first observation is that citizens seem to be more attracted by the idea of
participating in European referenda organised on the same day in all European
Union Member States than signing a petition at a European level to tackle
problems at a European level rather than at a national one. Thus, almost a third of
interviewees (31%) declared that they would definitely partake in such a referendum
compared with 19% for a petition.
29
QA22. Using a scale from 1 to 10, how likely would you be to participate in the following? '1' means that
you "would definitely not partake" and '10' means that you "would be very likely to partake".
1. Voting in referenda organised on the same day in all European Member States on European issues; 2.
Signing a European wide petition to tackle some issues at a European level rather than nationally
30
Art.I-47.4 of the draft Treaty establishing a Constitution for Europe.
- 49 -
Danish citizens seem to be by far the most enthusiastic about the idea of organising such
European consultations (73% declared that they would definitely participate), ahead of
citizens in Sweden (55%) and Luxembourg (52%, in a country where voting is
compulsory). The Netherlands (47%) and France (41%) follow with proportions that are
considerably lower than the turnout rates recorded at the time of the two referenda on
the Constitution which were organised in those two countries in 200531.
Citizens in Portugal (10%), Spain (14%) and Slovakia (16%) are the least motivated by
this type of referendum.
31
The turnout rate for the referendum of 29 May 2005 in France was 69.4%; the rate was 62.7% for the
referendum held on 1st June in the Netherlands.
- 50 -
The results for signing “a European petition” are far less pronounced: less than one out of
five Europeans would definitely sign such a document (19%). Citizens in Denmark (23%)
and Sweden (14%), despite the fact they are very positive about voting in a referendum
on European issues, are more reticent as regards the possibility of signing a European
wide petition. Citizens in Luxembourg (31%), Greece (31%) and Poland (26%) seem
more attracted.
In general, the more the respondents have a positive perception of the EU membership,
the more they are willing to participate in referenda or use the citizens’ right of initiative.
In the same way, the more the interviewees feel that things are going in the right
direction (in their country or in the European Union), the more they seem willing to
participate in this means of consultation or expression.
- 51 -
3.3 Attitudes to globalisation
- “Globalisation” is seen as being first and foremost

a “threat”-
The future Europe will also be a Europe which is capable of responding to the concerns of
a growing number of its citizens regarding the increasing globalisation of the economy.
This seems to be the message conveyed by a (relative) majority of Europeans: 47% of
interviewees consider first and foremost that globalisation is a threat to
employment and companies in their country (compared with 37% who see it as a
good opportunity for companies in their country)32.
Even if the results at the European level seem to be fairly divided, it is important to
underline that this indicator has evolved negatively over time. This question was asked in
a Flash Eurobarometer which covered the 15 Member States of the EU at that time33. In
October 2003, 56% of Europeans saw globalisation as “a good opportunity”. When the
results are compared for the same geographical areas (Europe composed of the 15 old
Member States), the percentage has fallen by 20 points on this34.
32
QA17. Which of the following two propositions is the one which is closest to your opinion with regard to
globalisation?

19 points if we take the European Union average at the time of the two surveys.
- 52 -
Although a relative majority of interviewees in the 15 old Member States seem concerned
by the consequences of globalisation (49%), the situation is almost the opposite in the
new Member States: 42% of citizens from the ten new Member States have a positive
perception of this phenomenon.
Only eleven of the twenty-five Member States see globalisation above all as an
opportunity for national companies. Danish citizens (77%) and Swedish citizens (54%)
are the most positive in their assessment of the consequences of globalisation. On the
other hand, the vast majority of French citizens (72%), Greeks (72% also) and Belgians
(64%) seem to be the most worried about globalisation.

opinion with regard to globalisation?

Globalisation represents a good opportunity for (NATIONALITY) companies thanks to the opening-up of markets
Globalisation represents a threat to employment and companies in (OUR C OUNTRY)
- 53 -
Young people aged from 15 to 24 seem to be far more optimistic than the older
generations (45% versus 31% of people aged 55 and over) about the consequences of
globalisation. There is also a positive correlation between the respondents having been in
higher education and a positive attitude to globalisation. It is also noteworthy that people
on the right of the political spectrum tend to be more positive about globalisation (44%)
than those on the left (36%). The majority of those who consider that things are going in
the right direction in their country (52%), also consider that globalisation is a good
opportunity for their country’s economy. The exact opposite is true for people who
consider that things are going in the wrong direction in their country. Regular Internet
users are particularly divided on this issue: 46% see this process as a real opportunity for
companies in their country, compared with 45% who consider that globalisation
represents a threat to employment and companies in their country.
Finally, one respondent in two who thinks that European Union membership is a good
thing also considers that globalisation is a good opportunity. Only 18% share that opinion
among those who are against their country’s membership of the European Union.

3.4 European enlargement
3.4.1 The perceived consequences of enlargement
- Opinions are divided about further enlargement -
Questionnaire Source: QA18.1 – QA18.2 – QA18.3 – QA18.4
Overall, more than one out of two Europeans (55%) considers European Union
enlargement as something positive35. A third do not agree with that view. The
responses obtained in the ten new Member States are significantly more positive (69%)
than those recorded in the fifteen old Member States (53%)
An analysis of the results by country shows that only three countries have a majority of
negative responses on this. Two of them joined the European Union in 1995, (that is to
say before the latest wave of enlargement) and one of them is a founding member of the
European Union. The three countries in question are Austria (52%), France (52% also)
and Finland (50%).
35
QA18. Could you tell me to what extend you agree or disagree with each of the following statements.
1. Further European Union enlargement would increase problems on the (NATIONALITY) job market; 2. Due
to the enlargement of the European Union, many products have become cheaper; 3. Further European Union
enlargement improves the influence of the European Union in the world; 4. Overall, the enlargement of the
European Union is something positive
- 55 -
The map above shows that the vast majority of citizens in Slovenia (76%) and Poland
(72%) consider that the enlargement of the European Union is something positive. In
the fifteen old Member States, citizens in Sweden are the most positive about
enlargement (66%).
Otherwise, 61% of respondents agree with the statement that further enlargement of
the EU improves its influence in the world. This opinion is expressed more frequently in
the ten new Member States (72% versus 58% in the fifteen old Member States).
However, this initial positive assessment conceals certain fairly severe criticisms of the
consequences of enlargement, in particular as regards national job markets. Some
63% of interviewees consider that further enlargement of the European Union
would increase problems on their country’s job market. In these circumstances
and given in particular the importance that Europeans attach to the fight against
unemployment, this is a fear which the European Union must address. This concern is
particularly strong in Cyprus (82%), Germany (80%), Austria (75%) and France
(72%). It seems less to the fore in Poland (45%), Lithuania (45%) and the Czech
Republic (49%).
- 56 -
Finally, only a minority of respondents are convinced of the argument that the
enlargement of the European Union has resulted in a certain number of products
becoming cheaper (34%, versus 57% who do not share this opinion). They are mainly
to be found in Sweden (69%), Cyprus (55%) and Denmark (53%).
Once again, the most vulnerable categories (the elderly, people who left school early,
the lowest socio-professional categories and the unemployed) are those that express
the most forcefully their fears regarding further enlargement and who, logically, have
the most difficulty perceiving its benefits.
- 57 -
3.4.2 The feelings aroused by further enlargement
- The feelings aroused by further enlargement tend to be positive -
Citizens often see their relationship with Europe in emotional terms, sometimes to the
detriment of rational judgement. It is for this reason that we have attempted to
understand what type of feelings the idea of further enlargement can inspire36.
The feelings that emerge first from the list proposed to respondents are the positive
ones: “hope” alone is mentioned by 30%. If we add the other positive feelings, namely
“satisfaction” (8%) and “excitement” (4%), positive feelings total 42%.
Nevertheless, more than a third of respondents (36%) have negative feelings when they
hear discussions about further enlargement of the European Union: 15% are afraid, 12%
are annoyed and 9% are frustrated.
Finally, 17% of the people interviewed declared that the question of further enlargement
leaves them “indifferent”.
When you hear discussions about further enlargement of the

European Union, w hich of the follow ing first comes to mind?
Hope 30%
Indifference 17%
Fear 15%
Annoyance 12%
Frustration 9%
Satisfaction 8%
Excitement 4%
Other (SPONT.) 2%
DK 5%
36
QA19. When you hear discussions about further enlargement of the European Union, which of the
following first comes to mind?
- 58 -
In confirmation of the previous results, citizens in Austria, France and Finland are the first
to express negative feelings with regard to the prospect of further enlargement. Citizens
in Germany and Luxembourg are not far behind with approximately a quarter of them
expressing “fear” (23% and 29% respectively, versus 15% on average).
It should be noted that 23% of those who consider that their country’s membership of
the European Union is a bad thing, expressed “fear” compared with 11% of those who
declared that they are satisfied with their country’s membership. On the other hand,
there is little difference between the feelings expressed according to whether or not the
respondents have difficulties paying all their bills at the end of the month. In other words,
opposition to further enlargement does not necessarily depend on the respondent’s
financial situation.
- 59 -
CONCLUSION
This Eurobarometer survey foreseen in Plan D for Democracy, Dialogue and Debate37
meant taking citizens’ pulse on the future of Europe. It is now important to prepare
Europe’s future, to re-launch the debate and above all take onboard the expectations
of European citizens.
From the point of view of contextual indicators, Europeans do not hesitate to express
their happiness at the current time, both as regards their personal situation and
professionally. However, at the same time, this happiness is etched with a certain
pessimism, which is notably expressed in worries or fears about matters such as
globalisation, further enlargement or the feeling that the wrong direction is being
followed at the national level.
At this stage it is possible to detect an initial difference in the way citizens perceive the
European and national situations: there is greater optimism about the direction in
which things are going at the European level. In other words, there is a feeling
that not everything has yet been tried at the European level, and is evident from
the fact that a majority favour decision-making at the European level. The fact that
citizens spontaneously associate the European Union with notions such as
“cooperation, unity, equality, common decisions and rules, legislation” shows to what
extent it would appear to be a good idea to work together to find common solutions to
the problems that affect all the Member States.
This survey shows that the European Union has a positive “image”. It is above all
perceived as democratic, modern and protective. However, that does not prevent its
main and loyal supporters from criticising its technocratic and to a certain extent
inefficient character.
Although almost one in two respondents considers that membership of the

European Union is positive the fact remains that certain criticisms are levelled
at the lack of political and cultural integration at the European level.
If the objectives fixed by the founding fathers, namely peace and the Internal Market
have been achieved and are recognised by Europeans as symbols of success of the
European Union, Europe does not escape criticism. The criticisms expressed chiefly
concern issues identified as essential by Europeans, in particular the fight
against unemployment, the protection of social rights and economic growth.
In these specific areas, citizens consider that the European Union’s performance has
been poor.
Europeans expect more Europe, in areas as wide-ranging as the economy,

security, the environment or research and innovation.
For Europeans, the element which is perceived to be of most importance for the
future of Europe is by far, comparable living standards, followed then by the
introduction of the Euro in all Member States and a common Constitution. The
elements perceived as strengthening the feeling of being European are a European
social security system, a European Constitution or citizens’ right to vote in all
elections in the Member State where they are resident.

- 60 -
To ensure that their voice is heard by decision-makers, European citizens still

support the traditional forms of representative democracy. Indeed they seem
to prefer these to other forms of participative democracy, however without
rejecting the latter. However, a far from negligible proportion of citizens are keen on
the idea of holding a true European referendum, organised on the same day in all the
Member States, on a European issue.
In this Eurobarometer survey, Europeans simultaneously express both fears and

expectations with regard to Europe. A strong Europe and solidarity appear to be
increasingly necessary for guaranteeing the security (economic, social, internal)
challenges ahead. Its capacity to respond to expectations and to prepare Europeans for
what’s ahead is what the future of Europe depends upon.

SPECIAL EUROBAROMETER N° 251
“The future of Europe”
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
Between the 20th of February 2006 and the 24st of March 2006, TNS Opinion & Social, a consortium
created between Taylor Nelson Sofres and EOS Gallup Europe, carried out wave 65.1 of the
EUROBAROMETER, on request of the EUROPEAN COMMISSION, Directorate-General Press and
Communication, Opinion Polls.
The SPECIAL EUROBAROMETER N° 251 is part of wave 65.1 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 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.

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
