Flash Eurobarometer 480: Citizens' awareness and perception of EU Regional policy

The survey published today is part of a series of surveys that examine Europeans’ awareness and attitudes towards EU Regional Policy - the Flash Eurobarometer surveys 452, 423, 384 and 298. It begins by asking whether respondents have heard about any EU co-financed projects in the area where they live, and, if so, whether they believe those projects have had a positive or negative impact on their lives. Respondents are then asked about their familiarity with the EU’s two regional funds and whether they have benefited personally from an EU-funded project. The survey also provides information on the sources of information used by respondents to find out about the policy. The survey then examines respondents' views on the priorities of the EU's regional policy, asking them which geographical regions and which investment sectors the EU should target and who should take decisions about regional investments. It concludes by looking at public awareness of the EU outermost regions and about EU support to cross-border cooperation, including of Intereg and of four EU macro-regional strategies – in the Baltic Sea, along the Danube, in the Adriatic and Ionian Sea and in the Alpine region. #####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)
