Press Release: Eurobarometer survey in the acceding countries and candidate countries reveals young people’s high expectations of the European Union

The lifestyles and personal aspirations of young people in the 10 acceding countries (the countries due to join the European Union on 1 May 2004) and in the three candidate countries are relatively similar to those of young people in the 15 present Member States. These are the findings of a Eurobarometer survey of 10,000 young people conducted in the spring of 2003 for the European Commission's Education and Culture Directorate-General. The survey also shows that youngsters in these countries have different views from youngsters in the present EU on issues affecting society, as well as different expectations of the EU.
