Euro-barometer 2: Problems Facing the European Community, October-November 1974

<p>This round of Euro-Barometer surveys queried respondents on standard Euro-Barometer measures such as public awareness of and attitudes toward the Common Market and the European Community (EC), and also focused on problems facing the European Community. Respondents were asked to identify the most important and the second most important problem facing their country's government. In addition, they were asked to state how important or unimportant a list of problems were for the European Community: fighting rising prices, establishment of a common European currency, reduction of differences between developed and less developed regions of the Common Market, introduction of standardized educational qualifications, coordination of social policies regarding employment and job training, and implementation of common policies for dealing with issues such as energy supplies, modernization of European agriculture, relations with the United States and the Soviet Union, developing scientific research, protecting nature and fighting pollution, protecting consumers against fraud, and aid to underdeveloped countries. Other questions asked if these problems were best handled through the European Community or by each country individually. Respondents were also asked how well they thought newspapers, radio, and television covered European problems, if membership in the Common Market was a good or bad thing for their country, and which party they would be inclined to support if a general election were held tomorrow. The data include information on gender, age, occupation, income, region of residence, and size of community.</p>
