Europeans

The latest Eurobarometer survey results published yesterday show that the European citizens value above all the free movement of people, goods and services within the EU and the fact that peace has been kept in the Continent. 62% of those living in the Eurozone also believe that the common currency is a positive development. However, a large number (67%) think that their voice is not heard and counts for little when it comes to influencing European politics.


It is also curious to note that the rich Luxembourg feel very “European” (88% of people in the Grand Duchy say so) and the poor Greek have a very different opinion (only 44% feel as Europeans).  They are at the end of table.
