COMBl3ED ACTION BY 'THE C€)MMJ"

Interviewees were then asked whether they thought t h a t important

problems would be b e t t e r dealt with "by combined action t h r o u e
Lhe Euro~eanCommunity or r a t h e r by action of each Oovernanent
indemndently of other countries.n They were then shown a l i a t
of six problemq chosen from those which preqlous p o l l s had ahown
t o be important.

For each of t h e problems l i s t e d t h e majority of interviewees were

i n favour of concerted European action r a t h e r than independent
action by each Government, but t h e degree of fervour was not W e d
with t h e problem and the country.

Four problems led t h e f i e l d , and approximately 70$ f o r the C o d t y

as a whole and an absolute majority i n nearly a l l countriee wa6 in

- "to fi*t against r i s i n g prices" ( 7 8 ) ;
- " to make our presence f e l t i n discnglsions with

One cannot help speculating why " a c t i m by t h e Co"uaity'@ i e

cases and whether t h e r e i s any correlation between t h e choice'

The next t w o questions have already been a&ed several times

There has been no s i g n i f i c a n t change i n t h e r e p l i e s t o t h e first

Ireland occupies an intermediate position, with a very sli@fitl.

OBSTACLES TO INFORMATION

Several e a r l i e r p o l l s have shown t h a t even where t h e public i s i n

favour o f t h e Common Market, t h e k o p e a n Community and European
unification, it i s only s u p e r f i c i a l l y i n t e r e s t e d i n t h e associated
problems. Is t h i s due t o lack of i n t e r e s t , t h e complexity of t h e s e
problems, or inadequate o r biased information by t h e mass media?

A question was included i n t h e p o l l t o t e s t public a t t i t u d e s t o

a conclusive answer;

Most interviewees (5%) i n t h e nine Community countries f e e l t h a t

a r e involved. This c r i t i c i s m w a s p a r t i c u l a r l y widespread i n G r e a t

A. I have no time f o r t h i s and cannot be i n t e r e s t e d i n everything

B. The problem i s r e a l l y t o o complicated f o r me.
C. The newspapers, radio and t e l e v i s i o n do not say enough about
European problems.
D. The newspapers, r a d i o and t e l e v i s i o n give only simple " a r i e s
