How Do Our Negotiators with the EU Defend the Interests of the CZ? Interest in Working in the EU

The October survey confirmed that the public assessed the work of the delegation discussing the accession of the CZ to the EU most frequently in a positive way - 47 % of respondents think that it pushes through Czech interests in a sufficient manner. However, one third (33 %) is convinced that it is not so. A fifth (20 %) cannot assess the situation. Since the spring of last year the share of citizens without more specific ideas about the work of our negotiators has been gradually growing smaller and the group manifesting their dissatisfaction has climbed up from 27% to the current one third.

However, the proportion of favourable evaluation has not been significantly enlarging. For the third year running, the surveys monitored the interest of our citizens in working in other countries of the European Union, after joining it. In this year’s survey a firm intention to try this was voiced by 5 % of respondents, and 10 % of them would "probably" try it. A more passive attitude is held by 16 % - these respondents, as they stated, would respond to a good job offer. However, the majority of respondents (64 %) do not consider working in a different country.
