Special Eurobarometer 384: Humanitarian Aid

In order to monitor the current situation and public attitudes towards tobacco, the EU regularly carries out public opinion polls. This survey is the latest in a series that have been carried out since 2003. Although the questionnaire design has changed over time, the main objectives have remained unchanged: mapping the current consumption of tobacco products, understanding the motivations behind smoking and the attitudes underlying smoking behavior, and identifying measures to reduce the number of Europeans who smoke. This year's special Eurobarometer looks at four major issues: - Awareness of humanitarian aid: examining EU citizens' awareness of EU funding for humanitarian aid activities. - Attitudes to humanitarian aid: looking at EU citizens' support for the European Union to fund humanitarian aid activities and support for continued funding in the current economic crisis. It also examines whether EU citizens believe it is more efficient if humanitarian aid is provided by each EU Member State separately, or if it is provided by the EU as a whole and coordinated by the European Commission. - Knowledge and information on EU humanitarian activities: examining how well informed EU citizens are about the humanitarian aid activities of the EU and which information sources they prefer. - Attitudes towards the EU voluntary aid corps that is currently being set up by the European Commission: exploring whether they support the idea of engaging young people in EU humanitarian activities.

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
