This article is based on a survey conducted by INSCOP at the request of News.ro.
The survey was conducted in April 2024 and has a margin of error of +/- 3%.
The results of the survey are as follows:
Views on Romania's EU membership
47.6% of Romanians believe that joining the EU has brought more advantages to Romania (compared to 35.2% in 2014).
21.9% believe that it has brought neither advantages nor disadvantages (compared to 41.5% in 2014).
27.7% believe that it has brought more disadvantages (compared to 19.9% in 2014).
2.8% don't know or didn't answer this question (compared to 3.4% in 2014).
Priorities for Romanian MEPs
42.3% of Romanians believe that the priority of MEPs who will represent Romania after the June 9 elections should be to fight for Romanians to have the same rights as other European citizens.
The second priority is full integration into the Schengen Area, including land borders.
Awareness of EU institutions
Only around 25% of Romanians consider themselves to be well informed about the activities of the European institutions, including the European Parliament, the European Commission and the European Council.
The rest consider themselves to be rather uninformed.
Overall, the survey results suggest that Romanian public opinion on the EU is mixed. While there is a majority who believe that EU membership has brought benefits to Romania, there is also a significant minority who believe that it has brought disadvantages. This suggests that there is a need for more information and education about the EU among the Romanian public.
