According to newly released EU Neighbourhood Barometer survey
Armenians, Moldovans, Georgians, Ukrainians want the EU to have a
greater influence in their countries. The surveys were conducted
in November-December 2012 in Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia,
Moldova, Russia and Ukraine, and the resulting statistics were based
on approximately 1,000 interviews in each country. The result of the
survey can be found on the Eastbook.eu.
Thus Armenia showed huge support for increased relations with the EU
in all sectors. 85% wanted a greater EU role in economic development,
87% in trade, 84% in human rights, 74% in democracy, and 78% in
regional cooperation.
The poll found that 63% of Armenians trusted the EU slightly less than
they trusted the UN (68%), but more than NATO (48%), and more than
they trust their own government (52%), Parliament (38%) or political
parties (37%).
Eighty-one per cent of respondents felt the EU had good relations
with Armenia, against just 13% who felt they were bad.
Azerbaijanis largely felt that the current state of relations between
Azerbaijan and the EU was sufficient. Of those asked, just 37% felt
the EU was an important partner.
The survey found that 39% of Azerbaijanis trusted the EU - above the
level of trust in the UN (19%) and NATO (27%). Uniquely, those asked
overwhelmingly trusted their government (92%) and Parliament (68%),
but were less trusting of political parties (22%).
The EU Neighbourhood Barometer (an opinion polling and media monitoring
device) which is part of the EU-funded Regional Communication Programme
is aimed at assessing knowledge and perception of the EU Neighbourhood
Policy and its cooperation activities and programmes.
