The EU Neighbourhood Barometer

The EU Neighbourhood Barometer is a regional, cross-national comparative series of six regular surveys conducted between 2012 and 2014. They were commissioned by the European Commission, DG Neighbourhood and Enlargement Negotiations and implemented by a consortium led by TNS opinion. The surveys cover 16 of the European Union's closest Eastern and Southern neighbouring countries, the 'European Neighbourhood countries and territories', plus Russia. The samples were drawn from the resident population in each country, aged 15 years and over, using a multistage probability sampling combined with quota selection in the household. In each country and for each survey approximately 1000 interviews were conducted face-to-face.

The EU Neighbourhood Barometer offers a unique source of comparative information on the perception of living conditions, political issues and political efficacy across the region. The perception of the image of and the relations with the European Union is covered by another part of the standard questionnaire. Intermittently the programme addresses special topics such as globalization, environmental issues, employment, civil society or media habits.
