EUROBAROMETER DATA SERVICE

Flash Eurobarometer

 

  

The ad-hoc and focus group surveys

The small scale Flash Eurobarometer have been launched by the European Commission in the late eighties, turning out a Monthly Monitor between in 1994 and 1995. In continuation a weekly European Continuous Tracking Survey (CTS) was carried out from 1996 to 1998, without access to primary data.   

The Flash surveys are conducted in all EU member states at times, occasionally reducing or enlarging the scope of countries as a function of specific topics. Usually the sample size is reduced to 500 respondents per country and interviews are conducted by phone in the respective national language.

The Flash surveys include serials on special topics (Common Currency, EU Enlargement, Information Society, Entrepreneurship ... ) and special target group polls with emphasis on managers and enterprise related EU topics.

  • The main Flash EB and CTS survey results are published in official reports by the European Commission.
