Description

52% of EU citizens rate the justice system in their country - in terms of the independence of courts and judges - as good (11% say it is "very good" and 41% that it is "fairly good"), while 37% say it is (fairly or very) bad. These results have remained stable compared to January 2023. Out of all respondents, 40% say that the status and position of judges sufficiently guaranteeing their independence explains why they rate the independence of their justice system as good. 31% out of all respondents refer to no interference or pressure from economic or other specific interests and 31% out of all respondents to no interference or pressure from government and politicians as a reason to explain their positive rating. Out of all respondents, 28% say that interference or pressure from government and politicians explains why they rate the level of the independence of their justice system as bad, compared to 26% out of all respondents who say the same about interference or pressure from economic or other specific interests, and 22% out of all respondents who say this about the status and position of judges, which does not sufficiently guarantee their independence. #### 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 "Previous survey trends"__ The file compares 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 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). + __Volume D "Trends""__ The file compares to previous polls 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. _________________ For SPSS files and questionnaires, please contact GESIS - Leibniz Institute for the Social Sciences: [https://www.gesis.org/eurobarometer](https://www.gesis.org/eurobarometer)
