This is a Commission service, set up in 1973, which measures and analyses trends in public opinion in all the member states (old and new) and in the candidate countries. Knowing what the general public thinks is important in helping the European Commission draft its legislative proposals, take decisions and evaluate its work.
Eurobarometer uses both opinion polls and focus groups. Its surveys lead to the publication of around 100 reports every year. For further information go to the  Eurobarometer website. Eurocrat The term "Eurocrats" (a pun on the word "bureaucrats") refers to the many thousands of EU citizens who work for the European institutions (Parliament, the Council, the Commission, etc.).
