Flash Eurobarometer 422: Cross-border cooperation in the EU

EU cohesion policy, and in particular the Interreg strand, plays an important role in removing border obstacles and fostering cross-border cooperation. Relatively small in budget, the Interreg projects have achieved many concrete outcomes for the citizens – whether in the area of cross-border security, transport, education, energy, health care, training or job creation. However, a significant economic potential remains untapped in the border areas due to a lack of mutual trust or even the existence of negative attitudes among neighbouring countries. DG REGIO therefore conducted a first-ever Eurobarometer survey to identify and map attitudes of citizens living in the border areas, which will help to arrive at more targeted EU interventions. #####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)
