How do citizens see the European Union?

Notre Europe – Jacques Delors Institute, with the assistance of the OPTEM network, organised the first stage of the 'Horizon EU: European citizenship, a horizontal development' from 7 December 2013 to 3 January 2014 collecting opinion in discussion groups of 157 European citizens from 18 member states about their visions of the EU and their access to European institutions. This synthesis covers the main points of the discussion on the vision of European citizens about the European Union.

Three issues were addressed:
1. The first impressions about the EU.
2. Positive aspects of the EU seen by participating citizens.
3. Negative aspects of the EU seen by participating citizens.
