Special Eurobarometer 294: Europeans, Agriculture and the Common Agricultural Policy

This current survey follows on from that conducted in 2006 and deals with the same topics. In most areas, the questions asked were exactly similar. This Eurobarometer approach allows for an initial measurement of opinion, followed by tracking its evolutions over time.
For each topic, we analyse the results in terms of the European average, before then considering the breakdown of results by country and by socio-demographic variables where relevant. In addition to this, we have systematically cross-analysed the responses to all the questions with additional classification variables, specifically:
• The importance of agriculture and the rural areas.
• Awareness of the CAP.
● Levels of information on the CAP.
Where relevant, direct comparisons are made with the previous Special Eurobarometer survey on this area, conducted in 2006. In this case, any differences in question or answer wordings have been indicated.

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
