This wave of the Eurobarometer was collected during the COVID-19 pandemic. This necessitated a number of adjustments to the data collection process. Please consult the information referring to this in the Technical Specifications in the basic questionnaire.
Question module QA was implemented on behalf of and financed by the European Parliament. It partly replicates questions formerly asked in the framework of Eurobarometer 92.2, Eurobarometer 91.5, and Eurobarometer 88.1.
Question module QB was newly introduced.
Question module QC is currently under embargo.
