| Abstract | This round of Eurobarometer surveys diverged from the standard Eurobarometer measures and queried respondents on their opinions regarding employment and social policies of the European Union (EU), financial services and practices, illegal and harmful Internet content, and product safety instructions. Topics: The first topic focused on the respondents´ knowledge of and opinions about the EU in the areas of employment and social policies, including current and future sources of information about the EU in these areas. Respondents were asked questions concerning their awareness of rules and guidelines set by the EU pertaining to employment. They were also questioned as to whether the EU has a positive or negative image with regard to employment and social policies. Another topic covered was financial services. Respondents were asked about their top financial priorities, the type of bank accounts they personally had, and if they had a checkbook, credit card, pension, stocks, bonds, mortgage, and loans. Respondents were also asked if they use the phone or Internet to conduct financial transactions. A third topic was about protecting children from illegal and harmful Internet content. Respondents answered questions concerning Internet rules in their house, Internet safety, and procedures for reporting harmful content. The final topic about product safety instructions included questions about household products, beauty products, and paints/varnishes. Demography: Age, gender, nationality, marital status, left-right political self-placement, occupation, age at completion of education, household income, region of residence, and subjective size of community. |

| Sampling Procedure |
A multi-stage sampling design was used for this Eurobarometer. In the
first stage, primary sampling units (PSU) were selected from each of
the administrative regions in every country (i.e., Statistical Office
of the European Community, EUROSTAT regions). PSU selection was
systematic with probability proportional to population size, from
sampling frames stratified by the degree of urbanization. In the next
stage, a cluster of addresses was selected from each sampled PSU.
Addresses were chosen systematically using standard random route
procedures, beginning with an initial address selected at random. In
each household, a respondent was selected, by a random procedure. Up to
three recalls were made to obtain an interview with the selected
respondent. No more than one interview was conducted in each household.
Separate samples were drawn for Northern Ireland and East Germany.
