Special Eurobarometer 255: Attitudes towards EU enlargement

The Directorate-General Enlargement wished to commission a poll on EU citizens’ perceptions of their knowledge about enlargement and their perception of the advantages and disadvantages of the enlargement of the European Union. Interviews were conducted face-to-face in people’s homes, in their national language, between March 27 and May 01, 2006. The underlying objective of this analysis is to assess citizens’ level and type of information, as well as their attitude towards the principal objectives, and their perception of the advantages and disadvantages of EU enlargement. Finally, we will explore the citizens’ view of possible future EU enlargement to the Western Balkan countries and Turkey. For each theme addressed, our analysis looks at the: • European Union as a whole; • Individual countries; • Socio-demographic variables; Other variables which we systematically cross-tabulated with the results for each question include: being for or against enlargement (results for QA30.42) and selfperceived knowledge of enlargement (results for QD1). #####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)欧盟扩大总司（Directorate-General Enlargement）希望委托开展一项民意调查，以探究欧盟公民对自身欧盟扩大相关知识的认知水平，以及对欧盟扩大的利弊感知。本次调查于2006年3月27日至5月1日期间开展，采用面对面访谈形式，在受访者家中进行，访谈使用受访者本国语言。 本分析的核心目标是评估公民的信息获取程度与类型，及其对欧盟扩大核心目标的态度，同时梳理其对欧盟扩大利弊的感知。最后，本研究还将探索公民对于欧盟未来可能向西巴尔干国家及土耳其扩大的看法。 针对每一个探讨的主题，本分析将从以下维度展开： • 整体欧盟层面； • 单个成员国层面； • 社会人口统计学变量层面； 此外，本研究还将针对每个问题的调研结果，系统地与以下变量进行交叉制表分析：对欧盟扩大的支持或反对态度（对应QA30.42项结果），以及受访者自我感知的欧盟扩大相关知识水平（对应QD1项结果）。 按卷次划分的调研结果分布如下： * 卷A：成员国概况 * 卷AA：国家集团概况 * 卷A'（AP）：发展趋势 * 卷AA'（AAP）：国家集团发展趋势 * 卷B：欧盟/社会人口统计学维度分析 * 卷B'（BP）：欧盟/社会人口统计学维度发展趋势 * 卷C：成员国/社会人口统计学维度分析 研究人员可联系GESIS-莱布尼茨社会科学研究所（Leibniz Institute for the Social Sciences）：[https://www.gesis.org/eurobarometer]
