Description

77% of respondents think competition among their suppliers is important and 72% think the same about competition with their direct competitors. 69% think effective competition among their main customers is important. 66% of respondents agree that, for market sectors with systemic competition problems, regulation that prevents unfair market behaviour from taking place, such as the Digital Markets Act, is an effective solution. 43% of respondents have experienced a problem caused by a lack of competition when carrying out their business: the most common specific difficulties experienced are high prices and powerful suppliers being able to impose unfair selling conditions (both 57%). #### Processed data Processed data files for the Eurobarometer surveys are published in .xlsx format. + __Volume A "Countries/EU"__ The file contains frequencies and means or other synthetic indicators including elementary bivariate statistics describing distribution patterns of (weighted) replies for each country or territory and for (weighted) EU results. + __Volume AP "Trends"__ The file compares to previous poll in (weighted) frequencies and means (or other synthetic indicators including elementary bivariate statistics describing distribution patterns of replies); shifts for each country or territory foreseen in Volume A and for (weighted) results. + __Volume AA "Groups of countries"__ The file contains (labelled) frequencies and means or other synthetic indicators including elementary bivariate statistics describing distribution patterns of (weighted) replies for groups of countries specified by the managing unit on the part of the EC. + __Volume AAP "Trends of groups of countries"__ The file contains shifts compared to the previous poll in (weighted) frequencies and means (or other synthetic indicators including elementary bivariate statistics describing distribution patterns of replies); shifts for each groups of countries foreseen in Volume AA and for (weighted) results. + __Volume B "EU/socio-demographics"__ The file contains (labelled) frequencies and means or other synthetic indicators including elementary bivariate statistics describing distribution patterns of replies for the EU as a whole (weighted) and cross-tabulated by some 20 sociodemographic, socio-political or other variables, depending on the request from the managing unit on the part of the EC or the managing department of the other contracting authorities. + __Volume BP "Trends of EU/socio-demographics"__ The file contains shifts compared to the previous poll in (weighted) frequencies and means (or other synthetic indicators including elementary bivariate statistics describing distribution patterns of replies); shifts for each country or territory foreseen in Volume B above)and for (weighted) results. + __Volume C "Country/socio-demographics"__ The file contains (labelled) weighted frequencies and means or other synthetic indicators including elementary bivariate statistics describing distribution patterns of replies for each country or territory surveyed separately and cross-tabulated by some 20 socio-demographic, socio-political or other variables (including a regional breakdown). _________________ For SPSS files and questionnaires, please contact GESIS - Leibniz Institute for the Social Sciences: [https://www.gesis.org/eurobarometer](https://www.gesis.org/eurobarometer)
