The key findings of this survey are: The figures showed a continued weakening support among NMS-7 citizens – since May 2009 – for the introduction of the euro in their countries. Overall, slightly fewer respondents are happy that the euro could replace their currency than those who would be unhappy. The share of respondents expecting positive personal consequences from the introduction of the euro also decreased somewhat. More than half of respondents still want their countries to join the euro rather sooner than later. An overwhelming majority agreed that joining the common currency would be more convenient for those who travel in other countries that use the euro and that the euro would make it easier to shop in other countries using the common currency .
The Eurobarometer survey on Active Ageing has been commissioned by the European Commission 's Directorate General for the Employment, Social Affairs and Inclusion to understand citizens' views and attitudes towards older people , the contribution of older people in the workplace and society, and how to best promote an active role of older people in society.
The aim of this study is to provide detailed qualitative information on journalists’ views and attitudes to social media as well as how they use it as part of their work. Journalists also give their opinion on how the EU uses social media and gave suggestions on how social media communication could be improved.
The study consisted of in-depth interviews with journalists in each of the 27 Member States.
