Perceptions of the EU in the Occupied Palestinian territory

15-12-2010

Opinion poll show high approval for EU among Palestinians
 
Palestinians are extremely positive about their relations with the European Union, and have a strong appreciation of EU projects. There is also a marked desire for even more support. These were just some of the findings of a wide-ranging survey carried out as part of the Opinion Polling and Research (OPPOL) project, funded under the 2007-2010 European Neighbourhood and Partnership Instrument (ENPI) regional information and communication programme.
 
The survey aimed to generate better information about awareness, understanding and perception of the EU and the role it plays in the occupied Palestinian territory. The first phase was a baseline study, which interviewed opinion leaders to evaluate their perception, knowledge and appraisal of the EU. The second phase involved an opinion poll which questioned members of the general public.
 
An impressive 92% of the respondents say that relations with the EU are good or fairly good (91% for ENPI South on average), while 86% say the territory has benefited from EU policies in the country (82% on average for ENPI South). The majority of the general public (76%) agrees that relations are good. (ENPI Info Centre)
