Special Eurobarometer 95.1 : Spring 2021 Survey

A Special Eurobarometer survey conducted for the European Parliament between March and April 2021 shows the increasingly felt impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on citizens’ personal lives and financial situation. As eight out of ten respondents are aware of the Union’s actions to tackle the pandemic, public health, the fight against poverty and to restart the economy move to the top of citizens’ priorities for the European Parliament. Overall, the EP Spring Eurobarometer confirms the robust support for the European Union throughout the pandemic - as well as the established broad consensus that global challenges such as the Covid-19 pandemic are best tackled at the EU level.
