The first year of the new European Union. Eurobarometer 42

The survey was a parallel survey to the Standard Eurobarometer 42.0, and was conducted in the same way and time period as in the EU-countries. The Norwegian data are part of the integrated data set that is available for researchers worldwide.

The Standard Eurobarometer is a set of surveys that is administrated and financed by the European commission. It aims to gather information on social, economic and political conditions in the member countries. All Standard Eurobarometer surveys contain certain trend questions on the knowledge of and attitudes towards the EU and the process of European integration.

From 1990 to 1996, NSD had permission from EU to conduct the surveys in Norway. In total, 12 Norwegian surveys were conducted.

The subject of this survey is the first year of the new European Union.

本项调查为与标准欧洲晴雨表42.0（Standard Eurobarometer 42.0）并行开展的调查，其实施方式与调查时段均与欧盟成员国境内的同类调查保持一致。挪威地区的调查数据属于面向全球研究人员开放的整合数据集的一部分。

标准欧洲晴雨表（Standard Eurobarometer）是由欧盟委员会（European Commission）管理并资助的系列调查项目，旨在收集各成员国社会、经济与政治状况相关信息。所有标准欧洲晴雨表调查均包含针对欧盟及欧洲一体化进程的认知与态度的固定趋势性问题。

1990年至1996年间，NSD获得欧盟授权可在挪威境内开展此类调查，累计共完成12项挪威专项调查。

本次调查的主题为新欧盟的首个年度。
