Eurobarometer - Reflexions

Eurobarometer

A European Commission service, launched in 1973. It has the aim of measuring and analysing public opinion and trends at regular intervals in every Member State and membership candidate state. This instrument is based on the principle that it is useful to know what the general public think, in various areas, to help the European Commission to draw up its suggestions for legislative texts, to take decisions and evaluate its work. The Eurobarometer leans on opinion polls and target groups. Its studies give rise to the publication of around one hundred reports each year.
