Embargo Provisions

From the very beginning in the 1970ies the European Commission has been granting free access to Eurobarometer individual level data for secondary analysis in social science research and training. 

All primary data are made available through the social science data archive(s), once they are deposited, have passed the archive workflow and their release is confirmed.

By general rule, the standard module data and demographics are released whenever the full official Standard Report is published on the European Commission's Eurobarometer website. The data on special topics are released after the publication of the related full official Special Report. At latest and irrespective of the report publication, the data are expected to be released two years after fieldwork.

At present the following Eurobarometer questions are under embargo. The corresponding variables either have not been delivered to GESIS, or they were dropped from the datasets by the Eurobarometer Data Service before publication.
