EU - Trust Lacking.

The European Commission’s latest Eurobarometer survey released yesterday sees 60% of respondents saying they “tend not to trust” the EU, an increase of 3% compared with the previous survey. This figure included 83% of Cypriots, 80% of Greeks, 75% of Spaniards and 71% of Portuguese. Open Europe’s Vincenzo Scarpetta is quoted by EUobserver as saying that “This latest survey exposes the extent of the breakdown in trust between citizens and the EU – particularly in crisis-hit southern eurozone countries, which seem to be losing faith in the EU as a positive counter-balance to unpredictable national politics.” Open Europe’s Pawel Swidlicki was quoted by CNBC.
