HIGHLIGHTS

AGAINST THE BACKDROP OF THE STOCK EXCHRNGE CRASH, EXPECTATIONS FOR 1988 ARE LESS OPTINISTIC THAN THEY UERE A YEAR AGO. ONE I N TUO EUROPEANS SEES EUROPE'S PROGRESS AS "SLOW"; THREE OUT OF FOUR UANT I T TO SPEED UP.

NOTICE

EURO-BAROMETER public opinion surveys have been conducted on behalf of the Directorate General Information, Communication, Culture of the Commission of the European Communities each spring and autumn since autumn of 1973. They have included Greece 'since autumn 1980, Portugal and Spain since autumn 1985.

An identical set of questions was. put to representative samples of the population aged fifteen and over in each country. For this survey 11.594 respondents were interviewed in their homes by professional interviewers, between October 5, 1987 and November 24, 1987.

Special national institutes, all members of the "European Omnibus Survey", were responsible f o r conducting the survey. A l l the institutes, which were selected by tender, belong to the "European Society for Opinion and Mgrketing Research" and comply with its standards.

The names of the institutes involved in the study and further technical information are listed in the appendix to this document.

The general coordination of the survey and the initial statistical analyses of the data collected was assured by "Faits et Opinions", Paris.

The figures presented in this document for the entire Community are means weighted according to the respective adult population. "Don't know" and "no answer" are abbreviated D.K. and N.A. Tables with percentages not adding up to 100 due to several responses allowed f o r are footnoted respectively. Percentages not adding up to 100 in other tables are due to rounding.

In accordqnce with normal practice for this type of survey the Commission disclaims all responsibility for questions, results and commentaries. The present report by the serv'ice "Surveys, Research, Analyses" to the Director General for Information, Communication and Culture is an internal working document for the Commission of the European Communities.

THE EUROPEAN COHHUNITY TODAY

1.1 European Community citizens are less optimistic about their prospects during the coming twelve months than they were a year ago. Optimists still outweigh the pessimists by 34% to 21% (Fig. 1 1 . Suspicion for this falls o n -t h e 19 Oc- tober stock exchange crash and its echo in the mass media. < 1 >

Other indicators, too, hint at more scepticism if not pes- simism than a year ago. One out. of three Europeans expects more is domestic conflict in the shape of strikes and indus- trial disputes: up 19%. Two out of ten expect 1988 to be more troubled on the international front: up 7%, not aston- ishing in view of the situation in the Gulf (Table 1 1 . But fear of a third world war decreased further (Table 21 in the light of the GORBATCHEV-REAGAN summit.

Assessment of the general economic situation over the last twelve months shows more negative and less positive re- sponses as compared to autumn 1986. Yet individual house- holds viewing their own financial situation register slight reductions in both "better" and "worse" ratings: the "no change" rating went up (from 47% in autumn 1986 to 51% in autumn 1987 (Fig.21, this tendency is the same in all Member States except Greece and Luxembourg, where the deviations are not statistically significant, however].

1.2 One European in two sees Europe's progress as slow. Three out of four would prefer European unification to speed

l) Intervieving periods among member states ranged from 5 October 1987 to 24 lovember 1987. Out of seven countries uhere people were interviewed after 19 October, optimism dropped in six. Portugal is a noteuorthy exception: interviews Vere done in Hovember, optimism increased once iore as compared to a year ago. (The Redia had started to assess 19 October 1987 as, all things considered, less of a catastrophe than the 1929 "black friday".) In one country uhere intervieus were completed before 19 October, Belgium, pessimism fell by 12 percentage points.

up, as the "Euro-DynamometerV1 again stresses. The overall picture shows a (statistically not significant) tiny in- crease in perceived actual progress as well as a slight de- crease in the desired speed of progress (Fig. 3). But there are remarkable variations among countries (Table A3).

1.3 Support for "efforts to unify Uestern Europe" remains stable at 77% of all interviewed when compared to the spring 1987 survey. Support for the European Community is up for the Community as a whole according to the various yard- sticks: one's country's membership being Ira good thing"; being beneficial; or whether dissolution of the EC would en- gender many regrets.

In spring 1987 , France and the Netherlands were making a leap forward. Now Ireland, Germany, Greece, Spain, Luxem- bourg and Italy advance (or recover) on the count of all three standard indicators. Portugal registers a remarkable increase on the score of perceived benefitting from being a member of the Community. The United Kingdom continues its tradition of slow but steady growth of support for the Com- munity (Fig. 4, 5 and 5A, Table A 4 ) .

1.4 Eight out of ten Danes had read or heard something about their country's presidency of the Council (July - December 1 9 8 7 ) ia the mass media; six out of ten thought it was "important" or "very important" (Table 3).

1.5 The public's awareness of the Commission via the media. now measured for the first time, is, on average throughout the Community higher than that of Parliament. Five percent fewer of those, however, who did actually hear or read some- thing about the Commission had a "generally favourable im-

pression" of what they had heard or read, than those who evaluated the European Parliament (41% versus 46%) (Fig. 6, Fig. 6A, Table A5, see also heading 4.1 infra). <2>.

THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITY AND THE UNITED STATES

2 .1 2 9 % of US-Citizens know about the European Community as

a specific entity within Western Europe. Nine out of ten Americans who know about the European Community have a favourable opinion on it. This emerges from the highly interesting results of a public opinion survey carried out for the Press and Information Service of the Commission Delegation in Washington <3>. One in two EC citizens has a favourable opinion on the USA, one out of fiwe an un- favourable opinion. Positive attitudes vis-à-vis the USA are highest in Ireland (73x1, Luxembourg (68%). the United Kingdom (63x1 and Italy ( 6 0 % ) . Negative attitudes are highest in Greece (29x1, The Netherlands (27%). the United Kingdom (26%) and Denmark (26%) (Table 4).

.

2.2 Six Europeans out of ten consider that the Community's ties with the USA matter a great deal. Only Luxembourg and The Netherlands deviate remarkably from the EC average. The opinion that these ties do not matter a great deal is some- what higher than the one out of four EC average in the UK and in Germany. 86% of United States citizens think their country's ties with Uestern Europe matter a great deal; one out of ten thinks the contrary.

"DO you think the European Community's ties with the United States (of America) are closer or not as close as they were ten years ago?". More than a quarter of EC citizens do not answer this question. Among those who reply six Europeans out of ten see these ties as closer today; four out of ten as not as close as they were ten years ago. In the US, more than one in two thinks they have remained the same, one out of three thinks these ties are "closer today": 43% of Americans see their country's ties with Uestern Europe today as at least as close as they were ten years ago.

2 . 3 One citizen of the Community in two believes the US Gov- ernment supports unification of Uestern Europe. Two zens out of three say their country's Government unification of Uestern Europe (Table 41.

THE FUTURE OF THE EUROPEAN COHHUNITY

3.1 Hore than 90% of those who think that completing the Single European Common Harket by 1992 would make a differ- ence see it as -a good thing. It must, however, be kept in mind, that one person out of four interviewed assesses com- pletion of the Single Market as "neither good nor bad" (Table 6).

We also put ten different specific measures foreseen in the Single Market Programme, such as: elimination of border controls; freedom to buy land or property; bringing the rates of V.A.T. closer together or equal access for public works contracts. Up to 81% see such measures as "an advan- tage". And even the "foreign contractorv1 item (the only.one not provoking at least a two thirds majority in favour) registered an overall majority (Fig.7, Table 71. There are

only 3 llnoesll in 120 questions, even if there is some variation among member countries as to where their preferences are strongest (Table 8 ) .

3.2 "Are you in favour of going even further than the Single Common European Harket towards unification of Europe?" Six Europeans out of ten say "yes". Among thdse who do reply, those having said llyesvl we asked: "In which direction mainly?" and offered four answers:

A political Union among the member states A strong common defence A single common currency A true cooperation in science and technology

Two thirds chose "real cooperation in science and technol- ogy", one in two a "common currency" (Fig.8,Tab. 9 and 10).

3.3 "Are you for or against the formation of a European gov- ernment responsible to the European Parliament?" < 4 > . Twice as many of those who replied said "yes" than said "no" (Map 1, Table 11). Those giving a favourable response were prompted further: "What should be the responsibilities of t5is European government?":

Community as a whole (Fig. 9 ) . In the answers a considerable analogy emerges with the preferences expressed under the heading 3.2 above (Table 1 2 ) .

3.4 There is a majority in favour of "a European union now" in all countries but three: the Danes are very strongly against, the British strongly, the Irish are evenly split (Map 2 , Table 1 3 ) <cf footnote 4 > .

THE EUROPEAN PARLIAHENT TODAY AND TOHORROU

4.1 Awareness of the European Parliament remains relatively stable (44% in autumn 1 9 8 7 , 45% in spring 1 9 8 7 ) (Fig. 1 0 ,

Table A 1 2 ) . Parliament's image hit an all-time high in autumn 1987 (Cf. heading 1 . 5 supra, Fig. 6 and 6A f o r variation among countries and comparison with the Commission and it's image. For detailed tables and analyses see full report 1 .

4.2 Indeed Parliament's role "in the life of the Community nowadays" has never been assessed to a greater degree than in 1987. (The autumn 1987 score drops slightly since past spring.) Nevertheless: one in two Europeans would like to see Parliament play a still "more important part" than it does nowadays (Table A121 < 5 > . .

4.3 "If there were European Elections tomorrow......", the number of those who say they T1would certainly go and vote" has increased in seven countries (DX, D, E, I, L, P, UK), decreased in two (F, NL), and remained stable in three (B, GR, IRL) as compared to spring 1987 (Table 1 7 ) .

Two thirds of those who answer this question want, the European Parlia- ment to have "the power to pass laws that will directly ap- ply in all member countries". And six out of ten, that is 81% of those who reply say that "the Parliament elected in 1989 should have the job of drafting a constitution for the European union" (Map 3 ) <cf. footnote 4 > .

EUROPEAN SOCIAL AND POLICY ISSUES

5.0 In the framework of the EUROBAROMETER No. 28 survey, several special studies were conducted on behalf of the Eu- ropean Parliament and various specialised services of the Commission: a measurement of the initial impact of the cam- paign for the Commission's "Programme f o r the Prevention of Cancer"; a study on the awareness and perceived utility of the Commission sponsoring European sporting events; a study on Europeans and Aid to Development; a study on Problems of the Young, with particular focus on matters of training and unemployment < 6 > ; and a study on Europeans and the Energy Problem.

Detailed results will be presented in special reports in due course. Several questions of general interest have been sub- jected to a rough preliminary analysis so that they could feature in early, illustrative form among the results of the present report. Here are the headlines:

6) This study is based on a special extension of the sample among people aged 15 to 24 years. Prelimi- nary results given here are based on the standard sample only,

5.1 Less than four out of ten Europeans had heard anything about a European Programme for Fighting Against Cancer < 7 > .

(see Map 4, Table A14).

5.2 Two out of three citizens favour the Community sponsor- ing European sporting events and giving financial support to them (Table 19, A 1 5 , A16).

5.3 The "princip'al aim of aid to third world countries" should be "to help them to become self sufficient" say 61%. 17 % prefer as aim "to relieve their poverty and misery"; 18% want "to prepare them to become real partners" [Table 20).

5.4 The major problems facing young people today are "lack of jobs", "inadequate school and training" and "AIDS". (Fig. 1 1 , Table 21 1 .

5.5 The number of people seeing "the risks involvedwin the "development of nuclear power stations for the production of electricity" as being "unacceptable" represented a minority of 43% t o f those who replied to the question) in 1 9 8 4 .

The respective autumn 1987 score is majoritarian ( 5 6 % ) but a 6% drop was registered as compared to one year earlier i.e. shortly after the Tchernobyl catastrophe. (The number of people seeing such development as I'of no interest" remained as stable over this period ( 8 to 9%) as did the number of those who preferred not to reply at all ( 1 1 to 12%)) Fig. 12).

5.6 One European Community citizen in three of speaks at least one foreign language "well enough to follow a conversation" (Table 22). 51% tho-se interviewed had (at least some) training (at school or elsewhere) in English,

1 (. 1 EXPECTATIONS FOR 1988< 1 >

European Community citizens are less optimistic about their prospects during the coming twelve months than they were a year ago.

SO FAR AS YOU ARE COIICERIIED, DO YOU THINK THAT 1988 WILL BE BETTER OR WORSE THAII 19871

(1 1 BETTER (21 WORSE (31 SAME [O) ?

Yet optimists still outweigh the pessimists by 34% to 21%.

but the difference dropped 4 percentage points as compared to a year ago (Fig. 1, Tables 1 and B13). Suspicion for this falls on 19 October stock exchange crash and its echo in the mass media. Interviewing periods among member states ranged from 5 October 8 7 to 2 4 November 8 7 . Out of seven countries where people were interviewed after 19 October, optimism dropped in six<2>. In the one country, where interviews were

2) Portugal is a noteworthy exception. Intervieus Vere finished on 24 Bovember, optimism increased once more as compared to a year ago: the media had started to assess 19 October 1987 as, all things considered, less of a catastrophe than the 1929 "black friday".

Especially those who are well-off i.e.who fall in the high- est quartile of family income in their country are less op- timistic than one year before: 40% in 1987 as,compared to 4 5 % in 1986; the respective figures for those in the lowest income quartile in their country are 31% and 32%.

One European out of three expects more domestic conflict in the shape of strikes and industrial disputes: up 19%. Four out of ten expect 1988 to be more troubled on the interna- tional front: up 7%, not astonishing in view of the situa- tion in the Gulf (Tables Al, A2, B14, B15). But fear of a third world war decreased further (Tables 2, B16) in the light of the GORBATCHEV-REAGAN summit.

Assessment of the general economic situation over the last twelve months shows more negative and less positive re- sponses as compared to autumn 1986 (Table B17). Yet individ- ual households viewing their own financial situation regis- ter slight reductions in both ratings: "better" and "worse"; the "no change" rating went up from 47% in autumn 1986 to 51% in autumn 1987 (Fig.2, Table B18). This tendency is the same in all Member States except Greece and Luxembourg, where the deviations are not statistically significant, however.

The overall picture shows a (statistically not significant) tiny increase in perceived actual progress as well as a slight decrease in the desired speed of progress. The aver- age. score (ranging from l=very slow to 7=very fast) of progress perceived is 3.38; the average score of progress desired is 5.38 (Table A3). But there are remarkable varia- tions among countries. Hore actual progress than a year ago is perceived particularly by the French (average score up 0.241, the Irish (up 0.241, and the Spanish (up 0.121, less progress is perceived by the Greeks (down 0.37) and the Danes (down 0.201 ( 1 ) in particular. On average, the French, the Dutch and the Danes want a faster than the presently perceived rate of European unification and Community progress than they did in 1986. Italians and the Portuguese register an unchanged score; the average score for desired progress of the Germans, the Greek, British and the Belgians dropped slightly.

If we put the question about the progress of "understanding between the countries of the European Community" instead of referring to the progress of "European unification" and "the European Community":

IN YOUR OPINION, OVER THE LAST 12 IIONTHS, HAS THE UNDERSTANDING BETWEEN THE COUNTRIES OF THE EUBOPEAU COIIHUNITY (COHIION IIARKET) IN GEIERAL INCREASED, DECREASED OB STAYED ABOUT THE SAME?

1. INCREASED I11 GENERAL 2. DECREASED IN GENERAL 3 STAYED ABOUT THE SAME O ?

- and we should remember that our survey was done before the Copenhagen summit! - we find the percentage of people per- ceiving an increase in such "understanding between the coun- tries" to rise 4 percentage points since autumn 1986 at the level of "the Twelve" but a rise of 7 points for "the Ten". .

This is all the more interesting as soon as we look at indi- vidual country's change of public opinion:

No wonder that Spain and Portugal are at such a high level during the year of "joining the club". Little wonder: the drop of enthusiasm among Spanish having become conscious of the efforts necessary on their own part as well as of the efforts necessary to get what they consider a fair share of the cake. Little wonder either: the lack of a respective drop in Portugal in view of Community efforts to help the poorest member of the family. Notable the (before Copen- hagen) British rise by 5 points. Remarkable the leap forward in Germany by 9 points: controversial public debate at least strengthens awareness. Sensational the French jump! Intense public debate plus growing consensus furthers consciousness even more effectively, of course.

1.3 EUROPEAN COHHUNITY PUBLIC SUPPORT

Support for "efforts to unify western €uropen (UNIFICATION) remains stable at 77% of all interviewed when compared to the spring 1987 survey. Support for the European Community is up for the Community as a whole according to the respec- tive three standard yardsticks: one's country's membership (MEMBERSHIP), being ''a good thing"; befrlg beneficial (BENEFIT); or whether dissolution (DISSOLUTICiYI o f the EC would engender regrets (Fig. 4, Table A4).

In spring 1987, France and the Netherlands were making a leap forward. Now Ireland, Germany, Greece, Spain, Luxem- bourg and Italy advance (or recover) on the count of all three standard indicators concerning the Community. Portugal registers a remarkable increase on the score of perceived benefitting from being a member of the Community. The United Kingdom continues its tradition o f slow but steady growth of support f o r the Community (Fig. 5 and 5 A , Tables B4, B5, B6, B7).

We constituted a simple typology of general (global and dif- fuse) support of European unification and the European Com-

munity, based on the "UNIFICATION of Western Europe" ques- tion and on the "one's country's MEMBERSHIP in the European Community being a good t a bad) thing" question < 3 > . In this way, we can identify each person interviewed as to whether she or he is "euro-indifferentT1, "euro-positive" or rleuro- negative". This is of descriptive as well as of analytical use. For instance, the percentage tout of all interviewees) of "Euro-indifferents" by country is the following:

1.4 THE DANISH PRESIDENCY AND THE DANISH PUBLIC

Eight Denes out of ten had read or heard something about their cõuntryls presidency of the Council (July - December 1 9 8 7 ) in the mass media; six out of ten thought it was "important" or "very important".

WHETHER YO0 HEARD ABOUT IT OR NOT, DO YOU THINK IT IS AN IHPORTANT THING OR NOT THAT DENMARK IS PRESIDENT OF THE COUNCIL OF HIlISTERS OF THE EUROPEAN COHHUNITY AT 'THIS TIHE?

Earlier, one Belgian in two had become aware of his or her country's presidency; 56% thought it "(very) important". The British had assessed their presidency as lltvery) important" with a score of 5 9 % . but only 2 2 % had "recently heard or read about it" during the respective period, i.e. July to December 1 9 8 6 (Table 3).

1.5 THE IHAGE OF THE EUROPEAN COHHISSION

Awareness of European citizens of their directly elected Parliament has been measured for several years in the EURO- BAROMETER surveys; the "visibility" of the Commission was asked for the first time in autumn 1 9 8 7 .

HAVE YOU RECENTLY SEEN OR HEARD IN THE PAPERS, OR ON THE RADIO OB TELEVISION, ANYTHING ABOUT THE EUROPEAN COHHISSION IN BRUSSELS, THAT IS THE GOHIIIISSION OF THE EUBOPEM COHIUNITY?

It appears that public awareness of the Commission via the media is, on average throughout the Community, higher than that of Parliament. Five percent fewer of those, however, who did actually hear or read something about the Commission in autumn 1987 had a llgenerally favourable impression" of what they had heard or read, than those who evaluated the European Parliament likewise (41% versus 46%) (Fig. 6, Ta- b l e s A 5 , A 1 2 1 , cf a l ç o chapter 4 . 1 , infra).

ble assessment of the relative image of both institutions (as well as of the other Community institutions).

2 8 % of those who had recently become aware of the Commission via the mass media had a "generally unfavourable impression of what they heard or read", while the respective critical figure about the European Parliament is 22%. One can only tentatively assess, without further research, whether the fact that one European out of four gives an unprompted re- sponse of "neither favourable nor unfavourable" for both Commission and European Parliament reflects neutral and objective reporting by the (national) media or an individual lack of interest in Community affairs<5>.

Nore men than women, less young up to 24 than their elders, more formally better educated and more "opinion leaders" (than "non-leaders") have llrecentlyT1 become aware of the Commission via the mass media. Among those who recently be- came aware of the Commission, more men, more of the young tup to 24 years) more of those having had little formal edu- cation had a "rather favourable impression" of what they heard or read. "Opinion leaders" and "non-leaders" do not differ in this respect(Tab1e A 6 ) .

53% of the "europositive" ( c f . heading 1 . 3 , supra) had a "rather favourable impression" of what they "recently heard or saw about the Commission" in the media (i.e. 1 2 percent- age points above the average), 19% had a rather unfavourable impression. 70% of the "euronegative" had a "rather un- favourable impression". 7 0 % of the "euroindifferent" did not "recently see or hear (anything) about the European Commis- sion" in the media at all: they do not pay attention.

Awareness as well as evaluation of both'institutions vary according to country (Fig. 6A, Tables A5, A12).

Whether the image of the Commission depends on the presence of individual members of the Commission in the mass media, remains to be investigated. In any case: mass media systems are still national mass media systems; most times they give members of national Government, i.e. members of the Commu- nity's most powerful institution, the Council (of national Ministers) advocating national interests an advantage over the Commission and its members who are bound by the Treaties to take a stand in the general interest of the Community as a wholec6i>.

The evolution of "feelings about the United States" in eight countries of the European Community tas asked by an American research institute in the same ("European Omnibus") surveys that contained the EUROBAROMETER questions) in Autumn.1984, Autumn 1985, Spring 1987 and now asked on behalf of the Com- mission of the European Community, does reveal differences across time as well as countries: while "very good" or trgoodlv opinions declined in the United Kingdom, Italy, Ger- many and the Netherlands, they went up in France and Greece and fluctuated on a high level in Ireland and on a rather low level in Belgium (Table A7).

III YOUR OPIWIOII, HOW IMPORTANT ARE T H I S COUIIIRY'S T I E S WITH WESTERII EUROPE - WOULD YOU SAY THEY HATTER A GREAT DEAL, OR THAI THEY AREN'T VERY IIPORTAHT?

1 . M I T E R A GREAT DEAL 2 . AEEII'T IHPORTANT O CAN'T SAY

Only Luxembourg ( + 2 1 % ) and The Netherlands ( + 1 5 % ) deviate remarkably from the Eur'opean community average. The opinion that these ties do not matter a great deal is somewhat higher than the (one out of four) European Community'average in the United Kingdom ( + 5 % ) and in Germany ( + 3 % ) . 86% of United States citizens think their country's ties with Uest- ern Europe matter a great deal; one out of ten thinks the contrary (Table 4 section 3 ) .

A survey carried out in the United States in 1973 on behalf of the Commission Delegation in Washington allows for com- parison over time of American'public opinion concerning ties with Western Europe:

HATTER A GREAT DEAL 65'2 86'2 AREN'T IHPORTA!lI 16% i oa

4'2 CAW'T SAY - 192 - TOTAL 100'2 1 00'2

It is obvious from these figures that Yestern Europe's im- portance has grown considerably in the eyes of the American public since 1973. This is not only a consequence of de- creasing "can't says" - probably also due to the priorities of United States mass media - but a definite change as the "not important" drop proves.

Yet: while more Europeans think that those ties are closer today than they were ten years ago, than think they are not as close, a majority of the United States public today re- sents the Atlantic having become larger in politico-psycho- logical terms:

A closer look reveals: the real difference is in the hesi- tance of European Community citizens to express an opinion:

More than a quarter of EC citizens do not answer this ques- tion. Four out of ten Europeans see these ties as closer to- day; three out of ten as not as close as they were ten years ago. The non-response rate to the corresponding question in America was just 8 % . 43% of Americans who reply see their country's ties with Western Europe today as at least as close as they were ten years ago (Table 4 section 4). Al- though this figure is of the same order of magnitude on both

Although the basic message appears to remain the same - the Americans see ties loosening and in greater numbers today than in 1973 - methodological remarks need t o be made by way of digression:

The 1973 US survey was done in personal (face to face) in- terviews, the 1 9 8 7 US-survey was done by telephone. Is the higher rate of "don't knows" in the USA in 1 9 7 3 and in the European Community today due to the physical presence of an interviewer as compared to one on the telephone - or have Americans become more outspoken?<8>

These doubts underline the weight of technical and organisa- tional details in survey research and remind us of the pru- dence necessary not to take each figure at its face value.

8) Ihe US-questionnaire contained the iten "same" not be read by the intervieuer (as marked: VOLUN- TEERED). It is methodologically intriguing in two senses: is the change of intervieu technique behind the drop in volunteered "sames"? In other words: do personal interviewers (less supervised than tele- phone interviewers during the intervieu) tickle interviewees explicitly or implicitly as soon as their questionnaire contains the (not to be read!) item? Suspicion cannot be ruled out. At least the fact that, by technical error, the EUROBAROHETER questionnaire did not contain the "same (volunteered)" item, raises doubts.. . . .

Nuclear physics or molecular chemistry like social science are not as hard sciences as mechanics. Consumers of survey research results should remain as conscious of this fact as producers . . . Analysts must do s o .

The following question was not asked in the European Commu- nity, only in the United States : "What do you think will be best for the United States, in the long run: to strengthen our ties with Western Europe, to continue our relations with Western Europe as they are now, or to reduce our ties with Western Europe?"

One Community citizen in two believes the US Government sup- porta unification of Uestern Europe; a quarter thinks the contrary, another quarter does not reply.

WHAT, IN YOUR OPINION, IS THE UNITED STATES GOVERNIIENT POLICY TOWARDS EUROPEAN UNIFIC6TION? WOULD YOU SAY THE UNITED STATES GOVERBHENT SUPPORTS OR OPPOSES THE DEVELOPlENT OF EUROPEAN UNIFICATION?

1. SUPPORTS 2. OPPOSES O. DON'T KNOW

Two US citizens out of three say their country's Government supports unification of Uestern Europe (Table 4 section 2 ,

Table A8). The questions were not worded in the same way. The EUROBAROMETER version was chosen for reasons of compara- bility over time. It could not be used in such an complex form for telephone interviewing as it was in the US-survey. Cross-continental comparison appears justified, nev- ertheless, but should be prudent:

The EUROBAROMETER standard question as to the interviewees' opinion towards "efforts being made to unify Western Europe" (cf. supra chapter 1 . 3 and Table B4) was put to the US pub- lic. The comparative outcome is the following:

But Danes are almost as satisfied uith the way their democracy works than Americans with theirs, that is: both score uell above European Community average.

CHAPTER THREE

T H E F U T U R E O F T H E E U R O P E A N

c O m r î ~ P 4 ~ T v

Our data, based on a survey carried out before the end of November 1987 - i.e. on the eve of a predictably difficult summit in Copenhagen and its gloomy aftermath (and well b e f o r e t h e l a t e s t B r u s s e l s b reak through) < l o > - reveal some optimism as to the community's future . This is particularly so as regards replies to questions in the first section of this chapter from which it emerges that people are really prepared to go ahead for " 1 9 9 2 " .

But - in view of their national leaders' reluctance to act whenever they meet in the Council - do they really want to go further than the Single Harket? In which direction? Do they even want a European Government? Responsible for what policy areas? And: if they were prepared to go further, how important is "Europe" to the woman and the man in the street as compared to other issues and problems of her or his every-day life? Do people relate their everyday sorrows with (the progress of) Europe? Not all of these questions may be answered here, for lack of space, for lack of more indepth analyses still to be done - and for lack of answers to questions not yet put. But it is one of the key aims of the EUROBAROMETER surveys to contribute more precise answers to exactly these questions in the future.

3.1 SUPPORT FOR THE SINGLE EUROPEAN HARKET

ALTOGETHER DO YOU THINK THAI THE COIIIN6 INTO BEING OF THE SINGLE COHHON HARKET IN THE EUROPEAN COHiIUUITY IN 1 992 WILL BE A GOOD '

THING, A BAD THING OR EITHER GOOD NOR BAD?

1. A GOOD THING 2. A BAD THIN6 3 . EITHER GOOD NOR BAD o. ?

Hore than 90% of those who think that completing the Single European Harket by 1992 would make a difference see it as a good thing. It must, however, be kept in mind that one per- son out of four interviewed assesses completion of the Sin- gle Harket as "neither good nor bad" tone out of three in Germany and France). One out of eight do not reply ( 2 6 % in Portugal and 23% in Ireland). Only one out of seventeen re- gards R1992n as "a bad thing" (Table 6 ) .

As to the occupation of people interviewed, most in favour of the Single Market are the "liberal professions" (71% of them think it to be "a good thing"), next come llstudentsrl ( 6 6 % of them), "higher civil servants and top management" ( 6 6 % ) . "white collar employees" ( 6 2 % ) and llself-employedvl ( 6 1 % ) . But there is also a majority of "blue collar workers" ( 5 4 % ) and of unemployed ( 5 7 % ) in favour of " 1 9 9 2 " .

As to "social class" as measured through the occupation of the head of the household of the person interviewed cil>,

upper, old middle and new middle class people think more of- ten of " 1992" being "a good thing" (61% to 6 2 % ) than work- ing class people. But among the latter there is still a ma- jority of 5 4 % in favour < 1 2 > .

The "person in the street" addressed in public opinion polls, is more at ease with concrete questions. We therefore also put questions relating to ten different specific mea- sures foreseen in the Single Market Programme.

THE COMING INTO BEING OF THE SINGLE COMMON EUROPEAN HARKET IN 1 992 WILL MEAN TAE FREE CIRCULATION OF PERSONS, GOODS AND

TAIS WILL WOPERTY NIIHIN THE EUROPEAH coir" COUNTRIES. SOME PEOPLE THINK

VANTAGE. CAN YOU TELL IE., FOR EACH ASPECT OF THIS SINGLE connoN EUROPEAN HARKET WHICH I M GOING TO MENTION, WHETHER rou PERSON-

BE MOSTLY M ADVANTAGE, OTHERS THINK IT WILL BE A DISAD-

ALLY THINK IT WILL BE AN ADVANTAGE OR A DISADVANTAGE?

11) Cf. technical specifications at the end of this report for details of operationalisation.

12) The correlations uith our Typology of European Attitudes "TEA", kf. supra 1.3) about "euro-posi- tive" and "euro-indifferent" people is quite high: Pearson's r = .49 for "Single European Market good thing" vs. all other replies uith euro-positive attitudes vs. all other values of TEA;.Pearson's rz.40 for "SEM neither good nor. bad or don't know" VI. all other replies uith euro-indifferent attitudes vs. all other values of I E A . Both r are significant on the .O01 level.

More men than women, more middle-aged (and young) than those aged 55 and older, more of the formally better educated, more of the well-off; more opinion leaders, more with a

"post-materialist" value orientation, and more who place themselves on the left (within their respective country's political spectrum) are in. favour of going even further than the Single Harket towards European unification (Table A101.

DON'TKNOW 42~ percent of those in favour of a responsible Eumpeon Government (49% of oll interviewees).

A breakdown by socio-political profile of respondents re- veals, for the Community as a whole, that out of the age group of 55 and over only 45% are for a "European Govern- ment". Whereas, those placing themselves on the llleftll of their country's political spectrum, are significantly more numerous to opt for such a "European Government responsible to the EP" (Table A l l l . A l l other socio-demographic , socio- political and socio-cultural categories presented show those well known differences they always disclose in matters of Europe (cf. EUROBAROMETER Report No 27, p. 34f).

Two thirds of those who see the completion of the Single Eu- ropean Market by 1992 as Ira good thing" are "in favour of a European government responsible to the European Parliament".

There is a very high correlation on the level of the indi- vidual for the total sample (weighted) between people who

are "in favour of going further than the Single Market to- wards European unificationv1 and "for a European government responsible to the EPV1<15>.

Looking at the answers to the questions about llin which direction mainly" the Community should go "beyond the Single Market" on the one hand (Fig. 8 ) and to the question about "what should become the responsibility of a European govern- ment"(Fig. 9 ) on the other, a considerable analogy emerges. Before wondering about the nevertheless obvious differences ( f o r example "currencyT1 49% versus 4 4 % ) one must remember that details of question wording are of considerable signif- icance in public opinion surveys: The government responsi- bilities question spoke of "the currency" and contained, of course, the stimulus llEuropean government". The further di- rection question spoke of l'a single common currency" and did not contain the stimulus "European government". The govern- ment question, presenting "security and defence" as first item obtained 60% (55% among those placing themselves on the left of their respective countryvs political spectrum]. The direction question presented **a strong common defence" as second item without néither stimulus "government responsible to Parliament" seconds earlier nor the stimulus llsecurity". As a technical term "security" has domestic implications - as well as is it - with respect to its international meaning - a wider concept, including, connotatively, "military de- fence" as well as "disarmement". For the communalities and differences in the answers to these two questions with re- spect t o the socio-political profile of the respondents see Tables A 1 0 and A l l .

15) Pearson's r = .49, significant at the .O01 level. The corresponding correlation between respective country's scores is equally impressive Pearson's r = .85, R fact that is statistically not astonishing,

We must, however, pour some water into the wine of such en- couraging figures. All of them show that more or less big majorities of the public in most member states are generally in favour of more, even much more, European unification than now exists or than what their representatives in the Euro- pean Council are accomplishing. But we have to be careful when interpreting these results.

These results tend to indicate a willingness to accept, to' support, or to follow initiatives being undertaken by gov- ernmental institutions or by political groups; they do not press such opinion, to do something themselves, over the heads of and even against the national political groups, parties, leaders or institutions that enjoy their tradi- tional support.

Consensus about llEuropell and about "more of it" is more per- missive, acceptive, benevolent than demanding, challenging, pressing or pushing.

l'Brussels 1988" may go down in history as showing that there is always a "Fontainebleau" after each llAthensll.

Awareness of the European Parliament remains relatively sta- ble (Fig. 101, due to rising scores in Denmark (up 15 per- centage points at the time of that country's presidency of the Council), Ireland tup 13 percentage points after the referendum on the Single European Act), Portugal (up 10 per- centage points after their European election), the United Kingdom (up 4 percentage points, linked perhaps to Lord Plumb being EP President) - in spite of considerable drops in Germany (down 91 and the Netherlands (down 8 ) (Tables A 1 2 , B9) < 1 8 > .

Parliament's image has never been as pos tive as ,n autumn 1987; more than two out of three who recently heard or read about it in the media and take a definite stand say they had "a favourable impression". Spain and Portugal contribute heavily to this average figure for the Community as a whole since they elected their representatives to Strasbourg just a few months before our survey. But also among the ten coun- tries that formed the Community until 1985, the image of the

4 . 2 PARLIAHENT'S ROLE: AS SEEN, AS DESIRED

HOW IHPORTANT WOULD YOU SAY, IS THE EUROPEAN PARLIAHENT IN THE LIFE OF THE EUROPEAN COHHUWITY NOWADAYS?

1. VERY IHPORTANT 2. IHPORTANT 3. NOR VERY IHPORTANT 4. NOT IHPORTANT AT ALL o. ?

WOULD YOU, PERSONALLY, PREFER THAT THE EUROPEAN PARLIAHEfiT PLAYED A HORE OR A LESS IHPORTANT PART THAU IT DOES IIOW?

1. HORE IHPOPTAlIT 2. LESS IHPORTANT 3 . ABOUT THE SAHE ( VOLUNTEERED) o. ?

Parliament's role "in the life of the Community nowadays" has never been assessed as "important" or "very important" to a greater degree than in 1987. The autumn 1987 score drops slightly, however, to 64% from 67% since past spring among those who reply (Tables 15, B11). Nevertheless: one in two Europeans would like to see Parliament play a still "more important part" than it does nowadays (Tables 16,

B12).

4.3 IF THERE YERE A EUROPEAN ELECTION TOHORROY...?

Experience from 1979 and 1984 shows tcf. EUROBAROMETERs nos 12 and 22) that slightly fewer people actually did vote in European elections than said they "certainly would" when in- terviewed before campaign. Except for Germany, where those who said they would "probably go and vote" had to be in- cluded in order to arrive at a close estimate. In France, on

"If there were European Elections tomorrow ...", the number of those who say they "would certainly go and vote" has in- creased in seven countries (DK, D, E, I, L, P, UK), de- creased in two (F, NL), and remained stable in three (B, GR, IRLI as compared to spring 1987 <19> (Table 17). T h i s i s not a f o p e c a s t o f turnout f o r the 198P European E l e c t f o n l Opin- ion surveys are nothing but "snapshots" of the climate of opinion at the time they are done. As experience has so of- ten shown, this climate is different depending on whether elections are imminent or not. Experience has also shown that when European elections are imminent, domestic politi- cal issues tend to transform them into "national second or- der elections" with quite low effective turnout rates. The battle for a more than 50% turnout rate in 1989 is far from won and there is reason to increase research into European election turnout motivations soon enough to make use of the results before June 1989 (For detailed analysis of declared intention to participate in European Elections cf. EURO- BAROMETER Report No 27, pp 5 4 - 6 0 ) .

4.4 UHAT ABOUT A REAL PARLIAHENT?

The EP Federalist Intergroup for a European Union (cf. supra 3 . 3 f ) put two further questions within their series.

ARE YOU FOR OR AGAINST THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT HAVING POWER TO PASS LAWS THAI WILL APPLY DIRECTLY IN ALL MEMBER COUNTRIES OF THE EUROPEAN COMIIUHITY, THAT IS IN (YOUR COUNTRY) AS WELL AS ELSEWHERE?

1. FOE 2. AGAINST o. ?

Page 85: Standard Eurobarometer 28 - Public Opinion in the European ...ec.europa.eu/commfrontoffice/publicopinion/archives/eb/eb28/eb28... · PUBLIC OPINION IN THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITY ... Al

- 62 -

DO YOU AGREE OR DISAGREE WITH THE IDEA THAT THE IlEu EUROPEAN PARLIA- HEllT TO BE ELECTED IN 1989 SHOULD HAVE THE JOB OF PREPARING THE DRAFT OF A CONSTITUTIOU FOR A EUROPEAN URION?

1. AGREE 2. DISAGREE o. ?

The results are equally impressive: one in two EC citizens, that is two thirds of those who answer this question want the European Parliament to have "the power to pass laws that will directly apply ín all member countries". And six out of ten , that is 81% of those who reply, say that "the Parlia- ment elected in 1989 should have the job of drafting a con- stitution for the European union" (See Map. 3, Table 18).

Among the electorates of the various EP parliamentary party groups as constituted by representatives of national po-

. litical part-ies, this goal encounters strongest support among RDE (71%). ARC (68%). COM (66%). DR (66x1, and LDR (64%). Lowest are ED (44%) and electorates of parties not represented in the EP (52%) as well as those 29% of the to- tal sample who refuse to indicate a (national) voting inten- tion ( 5 2 % for a draft constitution). In the middle ground we find CTDI (63'c), S (62%), PPE and NI (both 61%)(Table A13)<20>. It is not astonishing that bigger and often quite "European" parties such as Christian Democrats and Social- ists score lower, here. They usually catch a bigger portion of the generally less politicised electorate. And, as we showed repetitively, these citizens are ta) more often "euro-indifferent" and (b) do not disclose their party pref- erence in public opinion polls carried out in times when no elections are imminent.

20) The EP-group labels are taken fror official List of Members of the European Parliament dated Octo- ber 1987. All figures given for party electorate are based on all respondents per declared voting intention (no opinionho ansuer to "draft constitution" question are not excluded fror percentage calculation). See also end of appendix B for technical specifications of measurement.

Shortly after its start in early October 1 9 8 8 < 2 6 > , less than four Europeans out of ten had heard anything about a European Programme to Fight Cancer. Respective scores are particularly low in Greece ( 2 8 % ) and in the Northern Member States - 2 5 % or less: United Kingdom, Ireland, Germany, the Netherlands and Denmark (Map 4, Table A141. Continuous moni- toring in the framework of future EUROBAROMETER surveys will allow.for precise measurement of the full impact of this campaign with regard to people's attitudes and behaviour re- lated to health.

Since the events took place in dif- ferent areas, the respective scores vary considerably by country (Table A 1 5 ) .

The mador problem8 facing young people today are "lack of jobs", "inadequate school and training" and "AIDS". Response patterns for the Community as a whole show little difference between the opinion of the young and the opinion of the to- tal sample (Fig. 1 1 ) .

There are, however, some variations across countries (Table 2 1 ) . For example: lack of adequat,e housing figures more prominently in Denmark, Spain, Italy, Portugal and the United Kingdom; AIDS takes third or forth place everywhere except for Luxembourg, where it scores second; the position of "racism and discrimination" as one "major problem facing young people today" varies considerably between countries and is seen as particularly disquieting in the Netherlands and rather disquieting in France and Belgium (Table 2 1 ) .

1 . IT IS YORTHVHILE 2. NO PARTICULAR INTEREST 3. o. ?

THE RISKS INVOLVED ARE UNACCEPTABLE

The number of people seeing "the risks involved in the de- velopment of nuclear power stations for the production of electricity" as being "unacceptable" represented a minority of 4 3 % (of those who replied to the question) in 1 9 8 4 .

The respective autumn 1 9 8 7 score is majoritarian (56%) but a 6% drop was registered as compared to one year earlier i.e. shortly after the Tchernobyl catastrophe. (The number of people seeing such development a5 "of no interest" remained as stable over this period ( 8 % to 9%) as the number of those who did not reply at all ( 1 1 % to 1 2 % ) 1 (Fig. 1 2 , Table A 2 0 ) .

Assessing the evolution of attitudes over time, one must keep in mind that 1 9 8 4 figures are based on the Community of "The Ten", i.e. without Spain and Portugal. As Table A 1 9

shows, these countries are less inclined towards nuclear en- ergy. (The same tendency had shown in 1 9 8 6 < 2 7 > ) . In other words, our evolutionary Figure 1 2 reveals two effects: (al the "Tchernobyl effect" and its relative decline and (b) the consequence of Spain and Portugal having become members of the European Community.
