Flash Eurobarometer on citizens’ awareness and perception of Regional Policy

The Commission has stressed the need for more communication from programme authorities and beneficiaries on EU-funded projects and laid out new requirements in its proposal for the next Cohesion Policy. This includes a communication plan for all programmes, social media activities and the organisation of events around important projects.
According to the Eurobarometer, most respondents said that EU should invest more in education, health or social infrastructures (91%), the environment (90%) and should focus on regions with high unemployment (69%), deprived urban areas (54%) and remote and mountain areas (52%).
This is in line with the policy priorities that the Commission proposed for the next Cohesion Policy and it provides insights on citizens’ priorities at country level; breakdown of answers by country are available here.
