The Parlemeter 2017 of the European Parliament (EP/EB 88.1) was carried out in the 28

Member States of the European Union, from 23 September until 2 October 2017, by

This survey monitors European citizens’ opinions on the EU membership and its benefits,

on their attitudes towards the European Parliament, its priorities, actions and mission. It

also sheds light on the role of the EU in tackling major threats and protecting the main

achievements cherished by its citizens.

The present part III of the study contains a socio-demographic presentation of the survey

results for all questions.
