Flash Eurobarometer 400: Introduction of the euro in the more recently acceded Member States

For this survey carried out in April 2014, some 7 000 respondents in the seven EU Member States that joined the European Union in recent years and have not yet adopted the euro were interviewed by phone. Citizens from different social and demographic groups replied to a set of questions focusing on issues ranging from perception of and support for the introduction of the euro in their country to how citizens felt informed about the common currency. Questions included how citizens saw the consequences for themselves, their country and for those countries which already have adopted the euro. Other questions looked at how and where citizens wished to be informed and what type of information they considered most important. This survey clearly reversed the gradual downward trend of previous survey waves as now an overall majority was in favour of introducing the euro in their own country. However, support varied greatly between the individual Member States, ranging from highest support 74% to lowest 16% of respondents. #####The results by volumes are distributed as follows: * Volume A: Countries * Volume AA: Groups of countries * Volume A' (AP): Trends * Volume AA' (AAP): Trends of groups of countries * Volume B: EU/socio-demographics * Volume B' (BP) : Trends of EU/ socio-demographics * Volume C: Country/socio-demographics ---- Researchers may also contact GESIS - Leibniz Institute for the Social Sciences: [https://www.gesis.org/eurobarometer](https://www.gesis.org/eurobarometer)
