Flash Eurobarometer 405: The euro area

Description

For this survey carried out on 6 - 8 October 2014, some 16 500 respondents across the 18 euro area countries were interviewed by phone. The results show that overall support for the euro has stabilised at 57%, including the highest increase in support in Estonia compared with the 2013 survey. A clear majority of 69% sees the euro as good for the EU as a whole. There are nevertheless some important differences between the 18 countries. Asked for the first time, an overall majority of 60% is in favour of abolishing 1-cent and 2-cent coins and applying mandatory up- and down-rounding of the final sum of purchase in shops and supermarkets. Citizens replied to a set of questions focusing on issues ranging from perception and practical aspects of the euro to their assessment of the economic situation, policy and reforms in their country and in the euro area. In addition, citizens were asked about their views and expectations regarding household income and inflation. #####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)
