Flash Eurobarometer 435: Perceived independence of the national justice systems in the EU among the general public

The survey was designed to explore the perceptions of judicial independence among the general public across the EU Member States, particularly:
- how the general public rate the justice system in their country in terms of the independence of courts and judges;
- the reasons why they rate the independence of the justice system the way they do.
Some 26,555 respondents from different social and demographic groups were interviewed via telephone, between 24 and 25 February 2016, in the 28 Member States of the European Union.

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
