Special Eurobarometer 220: Barometric questions

In December 2004, the Directorate General Press and Communications wanted to further analyse certain trends that usually come up in Standard Eurobarometer surveys. For this purpose a Special Eurobarometer was included in the Eurobarometer 62.2 series carried out between 22 November and 19 December 2004. The particular backdrop to this survey is the arrival of a new European Commission as well as the period just after the American elections. These two major events at the end of 2004 enjoyed considerable media coverage in all the Member States of the European Union. This report consecutively addresses the following issues: ♦ Support for membership of the European Union ♦ Trust in three specific institutions (the Parliament, the Commission and the Council) ♦ Support for the European Constitution ♦ Perception of the way democracy works within the European Union ♦ The role played by the European Union by comparison with that played by the United States in certain fields. #####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)
