Eurobarometer 62.0 (Oct-Nov 2004)

EU standard measures. Sport.

Topics: This round of Eurobarometer surveys, composed mainly of trend
questions, queried respondents on the standard Eurobarometer measures,
such as how satisfied they were with their present lives, whether they
attempted to persuade others close to them to share their views on
subjects they held strong opinions about, whether they discussed
political matters, what their respective country´s goals should be, and
how they viewed the need for societal change. Additional questions
focused on the respondents´ knowledge of and opinions on the European
Union (EU), including how well-informed they felt about the EU, what
sources of information about the EU they used, whether their country
had benefited from being an EU member, and the extent of their personal
interest in EU matters. There were also a number of questions regarding
national identity. In particular, respondents were asked if they
identified themselves more as Europeans or as citizens of their
respective countries, whether or not they were proud to be Europeans,
with what region they most associated, and what, if any, significance
did the EU flag hold for them personally. Another major focus of the
survey was the subject of sport. Respondents were asked about frequency
of participation, motivation to participate, benefits received and
values promoted, what role the EU should play in regulating sport in
Europe, and about negative issues associated with sporting activities.
