title: Version 1

description: The Eurobarometer series is a unique cross-national and cross-temporal survey program conducted on behalf of the European Commission. These surveys regularly monitor public opinion in the European Union (EU) member countries and consist of standard modules and special topic modules. The standard modules address attitudes towards European unification, institutions and policies, measurements for general socio-political orientations, as well as respondent and household demographics. The special topic modules address such topics as agriculture, education, natural environment and resources, public health, public safety and crime, and science and technology.
 This round of Eurobarometer surveys covered the following special topics: public opinion regarding state aid, gender-based violence, and EU consumer habits regarding fishery and aquaculture products. Respondents' opinions were collected regarding knowledge about company aid, transparency of state aid to companies, and Sectors needing transparency. Respondents were also questioned about Commonality of domestic violence, knowing victims of domestic violence, and attitudes toward the likeliness, unlawfulness, and acceptability of gender-based violence. Additional questions were asked regarding  consumption and purchasing patterns regarding fish/aquaculture products, preferred types and features of products, and important information on products
Demographic and other background information collected includes age, gender, nationality, marital status, occupation, age when stopped full-time education, household composition, ownership of a fixed or mobile telephone and other goods, difficulties in paying bills, level in society, and Internet use. In addition, country-specific data includes type and size of locality, region of residence, and language of interview (select countries).

All respondents have the respective nationalities of the 28 European Union Member States, reside in each of the Member States, and are aged 15 and over.

description: The basic sample design applied in all states is a multi-stage, random (probability) one. In each country, a number of sampling points were drawn with the probability proportional to population size (for a total coverage of the country) and to population density. In order to do so, the sampling points were drawn systematically from each of the "administrative regional units", after stratification by individual unit and type of area. They thus represent the whole territory of the countries surveyed according to the EUROSTAT NUTS II (or equivalent) and according to the distribution of the resident population of the respective nationalities in terms of metropolitan, urban and rural areas. In each of the selected sampling points, a starting address was drawn, at random (following the "closest birthday rule"). All interviews were conducted face-to-face in the people's homes and in the appropriate national language. CAPI (Computer Assisted Personal Interview) was used in those countries where this technique was available. Please refer to the P.I. documentation, as well as ZACAT, for additional sampling information.
