This survey, conducted via face to face interviews with 27,218 EU citizens (fieldwork mid-January/mid-February), shows a collective concern to the crisis, a demand for more coordinated actions at an EU level and also by strikingly different national interpretations of the role of the euro. It also shows very clear variations on a socio-demographic level: women are more worried and more critical of the euro, along with citizens who left school at 15 years of age or before. There are a number of significant points to note:
Europeans are very worried about the repercussions of the crisis.
This anxiety, which is felt very strongly in all countries (between 80 and 90%) affects all levels of the economy: global, European and national. This relates as much to the present situation as to the future. This anxiety is not as predominant at the personal level (58% today, 56% tomorrow).
Europeans are in favour of coordinated action to fight the crisis.
Their diagnosis is clear: 44% of them believe that Member States reacted in an individual manner, while 39% believe they acted in a coordinated manner.
On the other hand, 61% believe that Europeans would be better protected if the Member States adopted a coordinated approach. This kind of approach is urgently called for by the EP who has taken a stand to this effect on numerous occasions.
What is the most effective level at which to fight the crisis ?
This question stands out, even more than the others, due to the significant differences evident between Member States. This may be dependent on whether or not a country belongs to the G8 or on the extent of the seriousness of the economic crisis in their national territory. On average, 25% choose the G8 and 17% the EU, 15% say the USA and 14% cite the national government.
What actions should be taken at EU level ?
The European Parliament has repeatedly declared itself in favour of different measures at Union level. These are largely supported by Europeans in the percentage points which vary from 66 to 71%: coordination of economic and financial politics; supervision by the EU in cases where public money is used to rescue financial institutions; surveillance of the activities of the most important international financial groups; the role of the EU at international level in regulating financial services.
The euro: a protector ?
This question on the role of the euro in mitigating the negative effects of the crisis was posed in all of the member countries of the Union. Among the twenty-seven Member States, 44% of Europeans think that the euro has not mitigated the crisis as opposed to 39% who think that it has effectively mitigated this crisis, 17% did not know.
Indeed, the results show that the perception of the euro varies considerably from one country to another. The detailed table (see p. 15 of the summary) shows that 17 countries responded positively to the question, among which 13 are countries in the euro zone, 3 are countries which are obliged to adopt it and 1 country which refused to adopt it.
The former national currency would have been as effective a protector as the euro ?
45% of citizens in the euro zone answered no, while another 45% of them answered yes. This average conceals significant disparities between Member States in the euro zone as in twelve of the sixteen countries, a majority does not agree with this statement.2020-03-19T20:41:09Z2017-01-17T12:14:46Z2011 - Eurobarometer Survey - Europeans and the crisis IIItag:data.europa.eu,2012:/dataset/2011-europeans-and-the-crisis-iiiThis Eurobarometer survey on "Europeans and the crisis" is the third such survey realised by the European Parliament.
The first one was carried out in January-February 2009, six months before the European elections, while the second was conducted in September 2010. The fieldwork for this survey was carried out by TNS opinion between 13 April and 2 May 2011 on the basis of face-to-face interviews with 26 825 European citizens.
In the seven months since the previous survey, the national and international context has been marked by several major events which have undoubtedly played an important role in shaping the answers of Europeans to the questions posed.
In-between, public opinion at EU level has moved only marginally, whereas there were major shifts between the first and second surveys (January - August 2010). It should be borne in mind that the six most populous Member States account for approximately 70% of the EU 27 average.
Before analysing the results of this survey in detail, it is worth highlighting the main findings:
Europeans are strongly in favour of the principle of a tax on financial transactions at global level, or failing that at EU level initially.
A majority of Europeans believe that overall the euro has not mitigated the effects of the crisis.
To combat the crisis, a majority of Europeans above all want the Member States to act in a more coordinated way.
In the debate on whether to boost the economy or reduce public spending, we note that the economic situation of the Member States has a direct impact on answers. In seven months, they have sometimes varied by between 10 and 38 points.
Tackling exclusion and poverty is still the first political priority of Europeans, although there have been very significant variations in several Member States between the two surveys.
Food security: helping agriculture in developing countries seems to be the most effective measure to the respondents, followed by combating speculation on food products. In terms of objectives, Europeans strongly support several measures of which ensuring that everyone has access to food products at affordable prices and also that farmers have a fair income.2020-03-19T20:29:36Z2017-01-17T11:56:32Z2010 - Eurobarometer Survey - Europeans and the crisis IItag:data.europa.eu,2012:/dataset/2011-europeans-and-the-crisis-iiThis survey of Europeans and the crisis is the second one instigated by the European Parliament. The first took place in January/February 2009, preceding the European elections of June 2009.
Between the two European Parliament enquiries, the European Union launched various initiatives aimed at fighting the crisis: regulations, a European monetary fund, economic governance, 2020 strategy, etc. The Parliament has taken stances on some of these, or is about to, through various global reports.
At the same time, Member States have launched deep budgetary reforms aimed at reducing public deficits.
It is in this context that Europeans were questioned about their concerns relating to the crisis: How they perceive the responses of the EU and the Member States? What they think about solidarity between Member States? Which actors are most able to combat the crisis? What priority policies should be decided today at EU level? What next for the EU in 2020? etc.
27 218 citizens were interviewed face-to-face by TNS Opinion. The results confirmed the great worries of Europeans in the face of the crisis - concerns which were already evident in the former Eurobarometer. The main findings are as follows:
Europeans would clearly like the EU and its Member States to act in a more coordinated way, but less so than they did in January 2009.
They clearly want Member States to be more active in dealing with the crisis.
In the light of a widespread feeling that poverty is rising, European citizens want the EU's policies to be developed with a focus on protecting them directly: tackling poverty and exclusion, improving consumer protection etc. They are more in favour of these individual-oriented policies than global issues, such as climate change.
There is a divided opinion on which kind of measures should be taken to end the crisis: Which is the better route: austerity or economy-boosting measures?
Respondents showed massive support for financial regulation and measures to control the banking system.
They showed clear support for financial solidarity with EU Member States in difficult economic situations.
Respondents support a convergence of the economic, fiscal and financial policies of all Member States.
A significant amount of Europeans found themselves unable to give a definite answer to economic questions on a large scale (national, global etc.). This reflects their sensitivity to the uncertainties of finding a solution to the crisis.
The results also displayed national trends in line with the Member States' domestic situations (which vary greatly). It should be remembered that the EU average is weighted according to demographic and population criteria.
Results also showed uncertainty as to the effectiveness of the euro to fight the crisis.

- euro coin counterfeiting and the activities of the ETSC
- based on Article 11 of the Council's framework Decision of 29 May 2000 intended to increase protection by imposing criminal penalties and other sanctions against counterfeiting in connection with the introduction of the euro
- based on Article 12 of the Commission Recommendation of 27 May 2005 concerning authentication of euro coins and handling of euro coins unfit for circulation.
The European Anti-Fraud Office was in charge of publishing the reports until 2013. As of 2014 the European Commission's Directorate General for Economic and Financial Affairs publishes them.2019-09-17T14:52:04Z2015-07-27T13:55:40Z2011 - Eurobarometer Survey - Europeans and the crisis IVtag:data.europa.eu,2012:/dataset/2011-europeans-and-the-crisis-ivThis EB/PE survey "Europeans and the crisis" was conducted by TNS Opinion between 3rd and 18th September 2011 on the basis of face to face interviews with 26.856 citizens aged over 15. The previous one was carried out in April-May 2011.
On the question of financial solidarity between Member States, there is a trend to a kind of polarization of the public opinion: the number of respondents who "do not know" decreased between the two surveys, in favour of negative answers.
Credit rating agencies (CRA):
The media coverage of the debates on the credit rating agencies (CRA) in the political, economic and financial world can explain that one European out of two (50%) has already heard about the CRA. Amongst those, a majority (65%) are in favour of the creation of a European credit rating agency.
Euro:
6 months ago, 57% of the Europeans found that "euro has mitigated the negative effects of the current crisis", they are now 54% (-3).
The percentage of those who think that "the euro has mitigated the negative effects of the current crisis" has not changed: 34%.
Share a part of the Public debt:
When asked about the idea to share a part of the sovereign debt, most of the Europeans are in favour of this option although the differences between Member States can reach 39 percentage points on some items.
Eurobonds:
The last months were marked by an emerging debate on Eurobonds within the Euro zone.
A first question "Have you ever heard of Eurobonds?" has been asked in all the Member States: 57% of Europeans answered no whereas 42% answered that they already have heard of Eurobonds (46% for the Euro zone; 35% for the non-Euro zone).
A second question has been raised to the 46% of the respondents of the Euro zone who said that they have already heard of Eurobonds, to know if they "are in favour or opposed to the creation of Eurobonds": 38%are in favour, 33% are against.
