Press Release: Eurobarometer on culture: Europeans affirm their strong attachment to culture and expect more from the EU in this area

A new Europe-wide survey has revealed that two-thirds of Europeans feel that they share elements of a collective culture. Nearly nine out of ten Europeans say that culture, cultural exchanges and intercultural dialogue should have an important place in the EU. These findings emerged from the recent Eurobarometer survey of people's views on culture, which was carried out during the spring of 2007. The survey covered 26,000 persons from all over Europe and from all walks of life.
