This opinion poll, managed and organised by the Directorate-General for Education and Culture’s "Citizens’ Centre" (Public Opinion Analysis Unit), was carried out at the request of the European Commission’s Directorate-General for Research, "Life Sciences Directorate". It was carried out in every country of the European Union, between 1 November and 15 December 1999, under the general coordination of INRA (EUROPE) - European Coordination Office, located in Brussels.
This report looks at Europeans’ attitudes to various problems connected with biotechnology. It is divided into several chapters concerning:

• The expectations of Europeans in this field
• Europeans’ knowledge of genetics
• A forecast of people’s future attitudes
• The view that work carried out is provided by scientists and the other groups involved in the development of biotechnology
• The groups they trust in this field

The results by volumes are distributed as follows:
