Summary View help for Summary
The Candidate Countries Eurobarometer (CCEB) series, first conducted in 2001, gathers information from the countries applying to become members of the European Union (EU) in a way that allows direct comparison with the standard Eurobarometer series carried out in the existing EU countries. The CCEB provides decision-makers and the European public with opinion data on the similarities and differences between the EU and the candidate countries. The CCEB continuously tracks support for EU membership in each country and records changes in attitudes related to European issues in the candidate countries. This round of the CCEB surveys was conducted between October 16 and November 17, 2002, in the 13 candidate countries: Bulgaria, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Malta, Poland, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, and Turkey. Respondents were queried on whether the EU should use its agricultural policy to ensure stable and adequate incomes for farmers, help farmers to adapt their production to consumers' expectations, favor and improve life in the countryside, reduce development disparities between regions, favor methods of organic production, promote respect for the environment, protect medium- or small-sized farms, or ensure that agricultural products were healthy and safe. Additional questions elicited respondents' feelings toward the EU subsidizing fewer agricultural products in favor of providing more funds for the protection and development of the overall rural economy. Respondents were asked if they had heard about the "Common Agricultural Policy," and if they felt the agricultural policy of the European Union would favor farmers, consumers, the environment in the countryside, or the food-processing industry. Respondents were also asked what they expected the impact would be on their farms if their country joined the EU. Demographic variables include sex, age, nationality, marital status, level of education, current occupation, income, whether the respondent lived in a rural area or village, small- or middle-sized town, or large town, religious affiliation, and voting intent.
