Report
PRESENTATION
European society is a rich cultural tapestry, made up of heterogeneous ethical,
religious, historical and philosophical backgrounds, which can often lead to divergent
positions on ethical issues in science. The rapid pace of scientific and technological
advance has evoked ethical concern among people in Europe. Examples of such
developments include cloning human embryos, transgenic animals and development of
new kinds of genetic testing.1 These questions may have potential implications for
future generations.
In the case of research and science, ethical principles include the need to ensure
freedom of research as one of the key aspects of freedom of expression, and the need
to work in the interests of the physical and moral integrity of individuals. These
principles can conflict with one another when applied to the process of decisionmaking.
While respecting cultural differences within Europe, the European Commission is
aiming to promote science and research which respects fundamental ethical principles.
The main activities of the Directorate-General for Research in promoting responsible
research in Europe are:
x
x
x
x
x
Pursuing the part of the Science and Society Action Plan dealing with the
ethical dimension in science and the new technologies (the Action Plan was
adopted by the European Commission in December 2001);
Applying the ethical rules for the Research Framework programmes;
Performing an ethical assessment of research projects funded by the European
Commission i.e. analyse whether the principles established by the Charter of
European Fundamental Human Rights are respected;
Supporting, through the European Union's 6th Framework Programme for
Research, research on ethical and social issues raised by developments in
science and technology;
Making known International Rules and Conventions relating to ethics.
Since the early 1990s, the European Group on Ethics has been helping to find common
European positions, while respecting national identities.2
In this context, the Directorate-General Research wished to commission a poll on
Europeans views on ethics in science and technology. Interviews were conducted faceto-face in people’s homes in their national language between January 3rd and February
15th 2005. The countries surveyed include the twenty-five Member States, the
candidate countries (Bulgaria, Romania, Croatia and Turkey) and three of the EFTA3
countries (Iceland, Norway and Switzerland). The methodology used is that of the
Standard Eurobarometer polls managed by the Directorate-General Press and
Communication (unit “Opinion polls, press reviews, Europe Direct”). In the annex, a
technical note details the interview techniques used by the institutes of the TNS
Opinion & Social network as well as levels of confidence.
The underlying objective of this analysis is to assess Europeans’ views on social
values and ethics as well as citizens’ perceptions of actors involved in science

to assess the perceived influence of ethics on science and technology in the
future.
For each theme addressed, our analysis4 looks at the:

European Union as a whole;
Individual countries;
Socio-demographic variables;
Other variables which we systematically cross-tabulated with the results for
each question include: reflection on the meaning of life (results for Q1),
religious/spiritual beliefs (results for Q2), strictness of upbringing (results for
Q3), tendency to trust others (results for Q8), views on gender equality in
politics, in the job market and in university education (results for Q10.1,
Q10.2 and Q10.35) and finally, perceptions on what decisions about science
and technology should be primarily based upon (results for Q11).

In some cases, due to the rounding of figures, displayed sums can show a difference of one point with the
sum of the individual cells. Also, note that the total percentages shown in the tables of this report may
exceed 100% where the respondent is allowed to give several answers to a particular question.

It is important to take note of the wording of the actual items here as the title “agree” in our tables refers
to agreement with the corresponding statement: 10.1 On the whole, men make better political leaders than
women, 10.2 If jobs are scarce, women have as much right to a job as men, 10.3 A university education is
more important for a boy than for a girl.

Social Values / Ethics in Europe today
Before examining citizens’ views on scientific and technological advance, we will first
assess the values and ethical principles of European citizens. The themes we will
address include citizen’s overall satisfaction with life, their religious and spiritual
beliefs, their attitudes towards politics and the environment, gender equality and
finally children’s upbringing.
1.1.
Satisfaction with life
A question which recurs throughout Eurobarometer surveys is how satisfied are
citizens with their life. Respondents were asked to position themselves on a scale from
1 “not at all satisfied” to 10 “absolutely satisfied”. In order to facilitate our analysis, we
created the following categories: 1-2 not at all satisfied, 3-5 not very satisfied, 6-8
fairly satisfied and 9-10 very satisfied.
Source questionnaire: Q6
- More than four in five European citizens are satisfied with their life European citizens have a positive outlook on their life. The vast majority are satisfied
with their life in general (82%).
Although the general perception of life is positive in the European Union as a whole,
there are strong differences between the surveyed countries. The Dutch are most
positive with a staggering 97% indicating that they are satisfied with their life.
Following next is two of the Nordic Member States, Denmark and Finland, with each
revealing an overall satisfied score of 93%.
The only exception is found in the candidate countries, as many as 57% of Bulgarians
are dissatisfied with the life they lead (only 37% declare being content with their life).

Special EUROBAROMETER 225 “Social values, Science & Technology”
Report
From a socio-demographic point of view, the respondents most satisfied with their life
tend to be still studying (92%) compared to the average result for the EU (82%).
As indicated in the introduction we cross-analysed the results of the question on trust
in others (q8). Those who indicated that they “almost always” or “often” trust others
were classified in the category “tend to trust”. Those who “only sometimes” trust
others make up their own category and those who “rarely or almost never” trust were
classified in the group “tend not to trust”. As we might expect, those who tend to trust
others stand out for the relatively higher proportion of respondents who are satisfied
with their lives.

Religious and spiritual beliefs
Europeans share common religious and philosophical roots in the various forms of
Christianity, although this does not automatically translate into a European religious
identity. In fact, European society is rich in its religious and philosophical diversity.
Here our analysis will examine how often European citizens reflect on the fundamental
philosophical question - the meaning and purpose of life. We will also assess the extent
to which religious and spiritual beliefs are present in European society. Since these
questions could bear an influence on individuals’ social values and ethical principles,
we cross-tabulated these results for each question in our survey.
Source questionnaire: Q1 & Q2
- Highly diverse religious and spiritual beliefs across Europe When citizens were asked how frequently they think about the meaning and purpose of
life, three in four confirmed that they do (35% “often” think about this and 39%
“sometimes” do). Only 8% declare that they never have such philosophical reflections.
In each country surveyed, at least three in five citizens confirm that they ponder on
the meaning and purpose of life. In order to better distinguish between countries, our
analysis focuses on those who “often” ask themselves such philosophical questions.

Cypriots emerge with, by far, the highest proportion confirming that they “often” think
about the meaning and purpose of life (69%). Following next are their Greek
neighbours at 56%.
On the contrary, fewer Austrians (26%) and Hungarians (27%) declare that they often
reflect on the meaning and purpose of life compared to citizens in all other European
countries surveyed.
From a socio-demographic point of view, we will assess the overall results for those
who think about the meaning of life i.e. those who answered “often” or “sometimes”.

Females (78%) are more inclined than males (69%) to contemplate this question. The
more highly educated respondents (those who pursued their studies until at least the
age of 20) have a greater tendency to ask themselves this question (79%) compared
to those who left school by the age of 15 (71%).
As stated above, we cross-tabulated the results to the question on religious or spiritual
beliefs. Here, each answer item forms a category in itself in our cross-tabulation. In
this instance, the more religious or spiritual respondents i.e. those who believe in a
God (78%) or in a spirit or life force (77%) are considerably more inclined to think
about the meaning of life than those who declare that they do not have religious or
spiritual beliefs (61%).

The graph above is representative of the diverse nature of Europe’s religious and
spiritual composition. The average results mask considerable differences in the beliefs
of the various nationalities.
Roman Catholicism is the official religion of Malta and 95% of Maltese respondents
confirm that they believe in a God. The majority of the population of Cyprus is Greek
Cypriot and Christian Orthodox6 and the results show that nine in ten declare that they
believe in a God. Four in five respondents in Greece (81%), Portugal (81%) and Poland
(80%) declare that they believe in a God and are followed by Italy and Ireland where
respectively 74% and 73% confirm their religious beliefs. These are all countries where
the Church as an institution has, historically, always been present and strong.

Of the candidate countries, Turkey, where the vast majority of the population is
Muslim, ranks highest with 95% declaring their belief in a God. In Romania, where the
vast majority of the population is Eastern Orthodox, 90% state that they believe in a
God.
In contrast, in Estonia and the Czech Republic less than one in five declare that they
believe in a God. In these countries, at least one in two believes there is some sort of
spirit or life force: Estonia (54%) and the Czech Republic (50%). In Sweden also a
majority share similar spiritual beliefs (53%).

A similar tendency to that observed for the question on the meaning and purpose of

category with a relatively higher proportion declaring that they believe in a God (63%)
while less than one in two confirm this in the younger age groups. While the more
highly educated stood out for the frequency of their philosophical meditation, those

who left school by the age of 15 can be distinguished for their tendency to believe in a
God (65%).
Those positioning themselves on the right of the political scale are more inclined to
believe in a God (57%).
In parallel to our observation above, those who meditate on the meaning and purpose
of life (55%) have a greater inclination to declare that they believe in a God than those
who do not have such philosophical reflections (44%).
Later on in the survey, respondents were asked whether decisions on science and
technology should be based primarily on an analysis of the risks and benefits or on the
moral and ethical issues involved. As indicated in our introduction, this question was
also systematically cross-tabulated with the results to all questions. In this regard, the
tendency emerging here is that those who believe that such decisions should be based
primarily on moral and ethical issues (55%) are more inclined to confirm that they
believe in a God compared to those giving more importance to a risks-benefits analysis
(47%) in science and technology decision-making.
Respondents were also asked later on in the questionnaire about the strictness of their
own upbringing: whether their parents were generally in charge and made the rules,
classified as strict or whether their parents generally let everyone do what they
wished, classified as not strict. Here too an interesting tendency emerges in that those
who declare that their upbringing was strict (54%) are more likely to believe in a God
than those brought up in a household without rules (39%).
The results reveal some principal tendencies. The first being that there is seemingly a
move away from religion in its traditional form - “I believe there is a God” - which
seems to affect the Protestant countries, such as the Netherlands, Denmark and
Sweden, as well as countries with a strong secular tradition such as France and
Belgium. At the same time there is an affirmation of traditional religious beliefs in
countries where the Church or Religious Institutions have been historically strong,
notably, Greece, Cyprus, Portugal and Ireland. In certain Eastern European countries,
in spite of 40 or 50 years of communism, a strong attachment to religion emerges in
Catholic countries such as Poland, Croatia and Slovakia. The third tendency is the
development of a new kind of religion characterised by the belief that “there is some
sort of spirit or life force”. This new religion or spirituality is more marked in certain
Protestant countries, such as Sweden or Denmark as well as in the Czech Republic and
Estonia.

Source questionnaire: Q9
- Strong sense of civic duty among European citizens with regard to
involvement in politics but only one in three know how to get their

Two in three European Union citizens declare that they are interested in politics and
current affairs. The graph below shows the overall results for those who agree and
disagree.
In each Member State, a majority confirms their interest. The highest levels of
agreement occur in the Netherlands (86%) and Denmark (85%). Interest in politics
and current affairs is even higher in Norway with 89% concurring. In contrast, the
highest level of apathy towards politics is apparent in Portugal (45%).

With regard to the socio-demographic profile of those declaring that they feel well
informed the same tendencies as those observed for interest in politics emerge
suggesting that the two tend to go hand in hand.
In order to asses the relationship between interest in politics and current affairs and
the feeling of being well informed on such matters, we carried out a cross-analysis of
the results of both questions.

At the EU level, those who confirm that they are interested in what is going on in
politics and current affairs are more inclined to declare that they are well informed

Three in four EU citizens believe that people should involve themselves more in politics
and current affairs. In each country surveyed a majority of citizens are of this opinion
although this sense of civic duty is felt more in Sweden (91%) and Germany (87%)

than in any other Member State. 93% of their Nordic neighbours in Norway share the
same view.
Supposing citizens involve themselves more in politics and current affairs, what is the
perception of the actual influence they have on Government action? Four in five EU
citizens declare that they have too little influence. In each surveyed country, the vast
majority feel that people like themselves have too little influence on what the
Government does with close to nine in ten of this view in the Czech Republic (89%),
Poland (89%) and Lithuania (88%). Turkish respondents are comparatively more
pessimistic than their counterparts surveyed in the rest of Europe with 61% believing
that they have too little influence on what the government does.
In order to exert an influence on what the Government does citizens need to know how
to get their voice heard. Only one in three EU citizens affirms that they know the
channels through which they can voice their views. The only European countries where
a majority are aware of how they can be heard on matters related to politics and public
affairs are the Nordic Member States (Finland: 58%, Sweden: 54%, and Denmark:
52%) as well as the Netherlands (67%).
From a socio-demographic perspective, a greater sense of civic duty with regard to
involvement in politics and current affairs is felt among those who pursued their
studies until at least the age of 20 (82%) and/or managers (84%). The more
philosophical and those who tend to trust others can also be distinguished for their
perception that citizens should involve themselves in politics and current affairs.

Once again the results reveal significant differences within the European Union. On the
one side we observe traditionally Catholic countries (Spain, Italy, Ireland, Poland and
Slovakia), where citizens seem comparatively less interested in and well informed on
politics or they have greater difficulty accessing political structures. While on the other
hand, the study shows that in Northern Europe (Denmark, the Netherlands and
Germany), marked by their Protestant culture are the more politicised societies.
Citizens in these countries had been literate for a long time (individual’s access to the
Bible required that people learn to read) and they became familiar with forms of local
democracy through the management of religious assemblies.

As we have just seen, European citizens are very much convinced that we have a duty
to protect nature. However, opinion on the right to exploit nature for the sake of
human well-being is less clear-cut. The average level of agreement of 43% at the
European Union level masks considerable differences at the national level.
It would seem that in some countries while citizens recognise their duty to protect
nature many believe that we nevertheless have a right to exploit nature for the sake of
human well being. For example in Slovakia, 85% acknowledge this duty yet 77%
consider that we have a right to exploit nature for the sake of human well being. A
similar tendency is observed in Poland, 90% acknowledge our duty to protect nature
and yet 70% believe that we have a right to exploit it for the sake of being happy and
healthy.
In contrast a different scenario is observed in Hungary where 91% consider that we
have a duty to protect nature, yet only 10% believe that we have a right to exploit
nature for the sake of human well being. The Germans and Austrians tend to be of the
same opinion with over nine in ten in both countries believing that we have a duty to
protect nature and 12% in both believing that we have a right to exploit it for the sake
of human well being.

The distinction between “human progress” and “human well being” is important here.
“Human progress” connotes science, technology or innovation whereas “human well
being” connotes the state of being happy and healthy. When it comes to the
environment it would seem that individuals are more willing to exploit nature for the
sake of human well being, whereas for matters which are “closer to home” so to speak
they would rather limit its exploitation for “human progress” from which they may feel
further removed.
Duty to protect nature even if this means limiting
human progress
In order to assess the relationship between these two points of view, a scatter-plot is
shown below. The X-axis represents the agreement rate with the statement “we have
a right to exploit nature for the sake of human well being”. The Y-axis represents the
agreement rate with the statement “we have a duty to protect nature, even if this
means limiting progress” (it should be noted that the y-axis does not begin at 0%).

At the socio-demographic level, there is across-the-board agreement that we have a
duty to protect nature even if it means limiting human progress.
Where opinion is less clear-cut the socio-demographic profile of respondents often
bears an influence on results. Males (47%) are more likely than females (40%) to
believe that we have a right to exploit nature for the sake of human well being. A

exploiting nature may be inevitable if humankind is to progress: males (53%) and

Those positioning themselves on the right politically-speaking (50%) are more likely to

Views on this matter vary from country to country. In Slovakia as many as 39%
believe that a university education is more important for a boy than a girl. Relatively
important agreement levels are also observed in Austria (32%), Hungary (31%) and
Italy (30%).
Looking at the candidate countries, even more citizens in Turkey, amounting to 46%,
are of the opinion that a university education is more important for a boy than a girl.
Gender equality in university education is supported by at least nine in ten citizens in
Iceland (95%), Denmark (95%), Norway (93%), the Netherlands (93%) and Sweden
(92%).
Does the respondent’s gender bear an influence here? Relatively more males (19%)
than females (15%) believe that a university education is more important for a boy
than for a girl. As we might expect, the 55+ group (22%) have a greater tendency to
agree that it is more important for a boy than for a girl to receive a university
education. Also, those who left school by the age of 15 are more inclined to believe
that a university education is more important for a boy than for a girl.

Moving on now to the labour market, how do European citizens feel about women in
the work-place when jobs are scarce? 86% consider that if jobs are scarce, women
have as much right to a job as men. In fact, in every Member State, at least three in
five are in favour of gender equality when it comes to jobs even if these are scarce.
Even in Slovakia where we saw earlier that 39% agree that university education is
more important for a boy than for a girl, 60% nevertheless believe that if jobs are

Safeguarding the principles of gender equality seem to be most widespread in the
Nordic countries: in Sweden and Norway 85% disagree with the statement that on the
whole men make better political leaders than women and in Denmark 83% disagree.
There is a more marked difference in opinion between males (32%) and females
(23%) on this issue with a greater tendency among the male population to believe that
on the whole their gender equivalents make better political leaders than women.
Women in more right-wing parties may stand less of a chance of being elected
compared to their counterparts in left-wing parties as right-wing followers (34%) have
a greater tendency to favour men as political leaders compared to those on the left
(24%). Those believing in God (31%) are also more inclined to esteem that men make

In Malta (90%) and Slovakia (88%) more respondents declared that, in the home
where they grew up, all children were given more or less the same treatment
compared to other countries surveyed.
The high results in Slovakia may come as somewhat of a surprise given our earlier
observations in relation to gender equality. Slovakia is the country where the highest
proportion of citizens believes that university education is more important for a boy
than for a girl (39%) and it is also the country with the highest proportion believing
that men make better political leaders than women (54%). The results here would
tend to suggest that views on gender equality are not rooted in respondents’
upbringing.
In Denmark (23%) and Austria (20%) most respondents declare that some children
tended to have more privileges, being cited by at least one in five.
Due to the overall high results for the item “all children were treated more or less
equally”, the socio-demographic categories do not seem to bear a strong influence on
results. The only point worth noting here is related to one of the questions
systematically cross-tabulated with all results, the question on the strictness of
respondent’s upbringing. It would seem that those who had a strict upbringing (82%)
are more inclined to agree that all children were treated more or less equally compared
to those brought up in an environment where everyone could do what they wished
(75%).

Respondents were then asked to indicate the extent to which they believed that each
of a series of qualities was important. There is such a widespread consensus among EU
citizens regarding the overall importance of these values that our analysis focuses on
the results for those declaring that it is “very important”.
We should bear in mind that respondents are generally reluctant to position
themselves on the extreme end of an answer scale. However, in this case, it would
seem that EU citizens attach a particularly high level of importance to the qualities
covered. In seven of the eight qualities, a majority of EU citizens declares that it is
“very important” that they are taught to children at home.
Q5. Here is a list of qualities that children might be encouraged
to learn at home. Please indicate for each of them how

In all countries, either “tolerance and respect for other people” or “sense of
responsibility” rank highest. In all countries surveyed the vast majority of respondents
consider that these are “very important”.
Turkey stands out for the high proportion of respondents who consider that many of
these values are “very important”: “determination, perseverance” (89%), “thrift,
economising and avoiding waste” (87%) and “hard work” (92%).
Compared to other countries surveyed, the Maltese seem to attach a considerable level
of importance to “obedience” with 85% confirming that they consider that it is “very
important” that children learn this value. For Icelandic citizens, “independence” is
considered to be a “very important” value by 85% of citizens.
The Swedes (74%), more than any other nationality, esteem that encouraging children
to develop their “imagination” is very important.

Special EUROBAROMETER 225 “Social values, Science & Technology”
Report
Looking at the socio-demographic profile of respondents, it seems that for “obedience”,
“hard work” and “thrift, economising and avoiding waste”, the 55+ group and/or those
who left school by the age of 15 are generally more inclined to declare that teaching
such values to children in the home is “very important”.
Those who had a strict upbringing are more inclined to consider that “obedience”,
“sense of responsibility” and “thrift, economising and avoiding waste” are “very
important” qualities which children should learn in the home.
The more highly educated respondents have a greater tendency to value the
encouragement of children’s imagination.
It would therefore seem that, in the Europe of 25, there is a general tendency to
encourage children to be sociable. The results show that the values or qualities of hard
work, thrift and obedience result in lower scores compared to the more people values.
Finally, significant scores are observed for individualistic values such as independence,
imagination and determination. We could therefore conclude that there is a greater
tendency for post-materialism to mark family values at the start of the 21st century.

Special EUROBAROMETER 225 “Social values, Science & Technology”
Report
Within the EU, the Greeks and Hungarians are most convinced that science and
technology decisions should be mainly based on a risks-benefits analysis, with
respective results of 70% and 67%. Looking at the candidate countries, an equally
high proportion of Romanians share this perspective (68%).
Citizens in the EFTA countries appear to share a common point-of-view with at least
three in five in all three giving most importance to the moral and ethical issues
involved: Iceland (64%), Norway (62%) and Switzerland (60%). In fact in these
countries more citizens declare that decisions about science and technology should be
based primarily on the moral and ethical issues involved compared to all other
countries surveyed. The only other European country where at least a relative majority
believes that decisions about science and technology should be based primarily on the
moral and ethical issues is Finland (50%).
Opinion is split between both approaches in Poland, Ireland and the Czech Republic.

All respondents were then asked whether the views of experts or those of the general
public should serve as the main basis for science and technology decision-making. At
the European Union level, two in three citizens believe that science and technology
decisions should be based primarily on the advice of experts on the risks and benefits
involved while 23% believe that these decisions should be based primarily on the
general public’s views of the risks and benefits.

In each European country surveyed the general public would rather that science and
technology decision-making be based on the advice of experts about the risks and
benefits involved over and above the views of the general public on the matter. The
countries where most citizens are of this perspective are Finland (83%), Cyprus (82%)
and the Czech Republic (80%). The only Member State where less than one in two
believes this is Portugal (48%), however, the no-response rate was high here at 29%.

Respondents who reflect on the meaning of life are more likely to consider that moral

(35%) compared to 28% who declared that they do not reflect on the meaning of life.
Respondents upholding the principles of gender equality i.e. those who agree that
women have as much right to a job as men and/or those who disagree with the
statement that university education is more important for a boy than for a girl are
more inclined to favour a risks-benefits analysis in science and technology decisionmaking over the moral and ethical issues involved compared to those who have
opposite view-points on gender equality.

Those who tend to trust others stand out in their category for the relatively higher
proportion which favours the advice of experts about the risks and benefits involved
over the views of the general public.
There is a marked difference in the results between those who previously declared that
science and technology decision-making should be primarily based on a risks-benefits
analysis and those who would rather prioritise the moral and ethical issues in these
decisions. The former group has a greater tendency to favour the advice of experts in
this analysis.
Finally, respondents who believe in gender equality i.e. those who agree that women
have as much right to a job as men and/or those who disagree that a university
education is more important for a boy than for a girl, have a greater inclination to
favour the advice of experts over that of the general public.

At the European level, four in five citizens believe that environmental groups
campaigning on issues related to science and technology have a positive effect on
society. The Cypriots (93%) and Slovenians (90%) are most convinced of this while
within the EU such positive support is lowest in the Netherlands (66%) and Hungary
(68%).
Turning now to perceptions on animal rights groups campaigning about the treatment
of animals, 77% of EU citizens believe that they have a positive effect on society.
Here, Malta ranks highest with 92% declaring their impact to be positive compared to
Britain, the lowest ranking Member State, at 58%. The only country surveyed where a
minority view the impact as positive is Bulgaria, although this is still the point of view
of a comfortable relative majority of 49%.
Before moving on to our next group, it is worth pointing out that the tendency with
regard to the category “reflection on the meaning of life” once again emerges here: in
all three instances, those who tend to reflect on the meaning of life are more inclined
to view the impact of these interest groups as positive.

Report
What is the perception of Europeans of the effect on society of scientists in industry
doing research? At the EU level, 85% declare that scientists in industry doing research
have a positive effect on society. In most countries, a slightly higher proportion of
citizens believe that scientists in university have a positive effect on society compared
to scientists in industry doing research. We could therefore say that there is a more
positive vision of academic research than that in production.
At the European Union level, 81% declare that industry developing new products has a
positive effect on society. Ranking highest for their positive views here are Sweden
and Denmark (both 90%). As was the case for their views on scientists in university or
in industry doing research, Turkey ranks among the lowest, in this case with a result of
69%.
From a socio-demographic perspective, males (84%) are more inclined to recognise
the positive effect on society of industry developing new products compared to females
(79%).

2.2.4 Public authorities
Source questionnaire: Q14b items 2, 5 and 6
- Positive appraisal of the roles of public authorities and the European
Commission specifically in regulating science and technology How do citizens perceive the role of the European Commission on regulating on science
and technology for all European Union countries? Three in four consider that the effect
of their work in this domain is positive.
The most widespread conviction of the Commission’s work in the area of regulation is
in Cyprus (90%) and Greece (86%). In each Member State, a majority declares that
the effect of the European Commission’s regulations on science and technology for all
Member States is positive. The lowest level of results for “positive effect” occurs in
Sweden (54%).
Now turning to countries outside the borders of the European Union, the results show
that the perceptions of the Commission’s work in this domain are positive. The level of
support in Romania (77%) and Croatia (73%) is close to the EU average. Public
opinion in Norway is also notably positive with 71% believing the effect of the
Commission’s regulations on science and technology to be positive for Member States.
Citizens were also asked for their opinion on public authorities in general with regard to
regulating on science and technology and more specifically in relation to assessing the
risks that may come from new technologies.
At the European Union level, the level of positive perceptions is almost identical for
public authorities in general (73%) as that observed for the European Commission. As
was the case for their positive views regarding the Commission’s regulatory role in
science and technology, the Cypriots (83%) and the Greeks (82%) rank highest,
although this time along with the Finns (82%). The Bulgarians (50%) are least
confident of the positive effect of public authorities regulating on science and
technology with one in two declaring that the effect on society is positive.
Focusing more specifically on public authorities assessing the risks that may come from
new technologies, once again the Cypriots (88%), the Greeks (88%), the Finns (83%)
and this time the Italians (83%) are at the top end of the scale for the high
proportions perceiving their role here as positive.

From a socio-demographic perspective, the respondent’s profile does not generally
have an impact on their perceptions of public authorities. The only point worth
mentioning here is that those who are still studying stand out in the “education
category” for the relatively higher proportion claiming that the Commission’s regulation
in the area of science and technology has a positive impact on society (83%).

What does the future hold in terms of quality of life? According to 58% of EU citizens
the next generation will enjoy a better quality of life than we do now. This result is
encouraging however positive perceptions of an improvement in quality of life are even
more widespread when comparing this for our generation with that of our parents:
85% of EU citizens consider that for most people today, their quality of life is better
than it was for their parents’ generation.
Regarding the impact of science and technology on the quality of life, 77% of EU
citizens are confident that science and technology will improve the quality of life of
future generations. Once again, comparing this perception with the impact of
developments in science and technology on the quality of life of our generation, 87%
declare that such developments have improved the quality of life for our generation.
Taking a closer look at the results for perceptions of the quality of life for future
generations, the average result of 58% at the EU level masks considerable differences
between Member States.

The Baltic countries are most optimistic with close to or over four in five declaring that
the next generation will enjoy a better quality of life than we do now. Following next
are three more of the new Member States. It would seem that perhaps the emergence
of these countries from a communist regime to their recent status as Member States of
the European Union, has led to a positive outlook in terms of quality of life for future
generations. However, the exception to this is Slovenia where a majority (51%)
disagrees that the next generation will enjoy a better quality of life than we do now.
Other countries where respondents appear more pessimistic for the prospects of the
next generation, with a majority disagreeing, are France (58%), Netherlands (54%),
Luxembourg (53%), Sweden (53%), as well as Denmark and Belgium (both 51%).
In each of the candidate countries, a majority declares that the next generation will
enjoy a better quality of life than we do now.
The prevailing pessimism in Switzerland is noteworthy with 63% of the opinion that
the quality of life of the next generation will not improve.
What role does science and technology play in improving the quality of life of future

At the European Union level, 77% of EU citizens believe that science and technology
will improve the quality of life of future generations.
While above we observed a considerable diversity in opinion across Member States, it
would seem that there is more of a consensus in public opinion regarding the impact of
science and technology on the quality of life of future generations. In each country
surveyed, a majority agrees that science and technology will improve the quality of life
of future generations.
Ranking at the upper end of the scale are six of the new Member States with the
highest levels of agreement in Estonia (92%), Poland (91%) and Lithuania (90%)
while the lowest result on this scale occurs in Austria (62%).
Of the EFTA countries, Iceland stands out with close to nine in ten respondents (89%)
agreeing that science and technology will improve the quality of life of future
generations.
In the candidate countries, close to or over four in five are optimistic with regard to the
impact of science and technology on improving the quality of life of future generations.
From a socio-demographic perspective, the respondent’s profile seems to bear an
influence on the results for agreement that the next generation will enjoy a better
quality of life than we do now. More specifically, it would seem that males, the 15-24
age group and/or those who are still studying tend to be most optimistic that the next
generation will enjoy a better quality of life than we do now. Also, those who believe in
a God have a greater tendency to be optimistic about the quality of life of the next
generation.

Special EUROBAROMETER 225 “Social values, Science & Technology”
Report
As was the case for opinions on giving people more autonomy, the vast majority in all
countries surveyed believes that citizen participation in Government decision-making
will be important for society.
At the Member State level, in Poland, Greece, Ireland, the United Kingdom, Czech
Republic and Malta a majority believes that this will be “very important” for our
society. In this context, we should recall that four of these countries (Poland, Ireland,
the UK and the Czech Republic) are planning to organise a referendum on the
Constitutional Treaty. Evidence of participative democracy, through the use of an
instrument such as a referendum, is a clear sign for citizens that they are being given
a say in Government decisions.
Respondents in Turkey (68%) and Croatia (63%) are particularly optimistic about the
prospects for participative democracy with over three in five believing that giving
people more say in important Government decisions will be “very important” for our
society in ten years time.

3.2.2 Protection of privacy and freedom of information
Source questionnaire: Q15a item 3 and Q15b item 1
- Over two in three citizens believe that protecting our personal privacy
while protecting the freedom of speech and information will be very
important for our society in ten years time Article 8 of the Charter of European Fundamental Rights provides that “Everyone
has the right to the protection of personal data concerning him or her. Such data must
be processed fairly for specified purposes and on the basis of the consent of the person
concerned of some other legitimate basis laid down by law. Everyone has the right of
access to data which has been collected concerning him or her, and the right to have it
rectified”.
With the fast pace of technological developments, the challenge of protecting
information about the private life of individuals has become increasingly difficult. For
example, purchasing goods over the Internet often requires that a considerable
amount of personal information is disclosed by the buyer. The potential value of this

Report
94% of EU citizens believe that protecting information about our private life from
misuse and exploitation will be important for our society in ten years time. In fact, two
in three believe this will be “very important”.
In all countries surveyed, a majority believes that protecting information about our
private life from misuse and exploitation is “very important”. The highest results here
are observed in the Czech Republic (81%), Greece (78%) and the United Kingdom
(77%).
More than four in five Icelandic respondents (83%) and Norwegians (81%) are of this
opinion.
Turning now to protecting freedom of speech and information, Article 11 of the
Charter of European Fundamental Rights states that “Everyone has the right to
freedom of expression. This right shall include freedom to hold opinions and to receive
and impart information and ideas without interference by public authority and
regardless of frontiers. The freedom and pluralism of the media shall be respected”.
Some countries have introduced Freedom of Information Acts granting citizens legal
rights to access information held by public bodies.

Special EUROBAROMETER 225 “Social values, Science & Technology”
Report
Science and technology may not be the first thing that comes to mind when we think
of developing countries, yet for 72% of the Irish and 70% of Dutch respondents it will
be very important for our society to ensure that these poorer countries share in its
benefits. An equally high result for “very important” is apparent in Iceland (74%) and
Norway (72%).
Countries and regions need assistance in overcoming structural deficiencies and in
developing their comparative advantages in order to be able to compete both in the
internal market and outside. EU cohesion policy was strengthened some 15 years ago
at the time the single market project was initiated precisely to meet these parallel
needs. Such assistance is even more important now in the face of the widening of
disparities which enlargement entails10. One in two EU citizens is of the opinion that
reducing economic inequalities among people living in the EU will be very important for
society in the future. Greece (73%), one of the Cohesion countries, stands out for the
proportion of its citizens believing that reducing inequalities among people living in the
European Union will be very important for our society in ten years time. The candidate
countries also believe in its future prioritisation with at least three in five of the opinion
that the reduction of economic disparities among EU citizens will be very important for
our society in ten years time.
37% of EU citizens consider that integrating minorities and other cultures into our
society will be very important. Turkey (63%) and Spain (55%) are the only countries
where a majority is of the opinion that integrating minorities and other cultures into
our society will be very important in ten years time. The result in Ireland, a country
where the tides of migration have recently turned with the growth of the economy, is
also notably high, where 48% foresee that integrating minorities and other cultures
into our society will be very important.

- Range of perceptions across European countries with regard to
protecting the dignity of any human unborn life According to 53% of EU citizens protecting the dignity of any human unborn life will be
very important for our society in ten years time.
The results in Malta, Greece and Ireland stand out with over seven in ten respondents
foreseeing that this will be very important. Within the European Union, Malta is the
only Member State where abortion is illegal in all circumstances. In Ireland, abortion is
permitted to save the woman’s life. In Greece, abortion is permitted on request
provided it is within the authorized period11. In this context, it is also worth recalling
our earlier observations whereby Malta, Greece and Ireland ranked at the upper end of
the scale for the proportion of citizens believing that there is a God.

Impact of new technologies
New technologies are currently being developed in a number of areas. Respondents
were asked for their opinion on the effect of these on our way of life in the next 20
years.
Source questionnaire: Q13
- European citizens are on the whole open to the advances of new
technologies and are confident of their positive effect on our way of life
in the next 20 years On the whole it would seem that European citizens are receptive to the advances of
new technologies. In all of the areas covered in this question (with the exception of
nanotechnology where the no-response rate was high in all countries), a majority of
respondents at the EU level declared their belief that the development of new
technologies will have a positive effect on society in the next 20 years.
We will first briefly looking at some of the results where particularly high levels of
optimism are observed. 94% of EU citizens believe that medicines and new medical
technologies will have a positive effect on our way of life in the next 20 years (the
table shows the results for those who responded “very positive” or “fairly positive”). In
almost all countries surveyed at least nine in ten are of this opinion. It would therefore
seem that citizens are confident that such developments can only improve the well
being of humankind.
Once again we see an overall consensus among European citizens with regard to the
effect of green energy sources or energy saving measures. At the European Union
level, 91% believe that solar energy will have a positive effect on society and 92%
declare that energy saving measures in the home will impact society in a positive way.
Still on the environment, citizens appear confident of the advantages of new energy
sources to power cars, with 90% declaring that this will have a positive effect on our
way of life.
Regarding computers and information technology as well as the Internet, 87% of EU
citizens consider that the former and 78% believe that the latter will have a positive
effect on society in 20 years time.
Below we will examine in more detail some of the potentially more controversial areas
including biotechnology and genetic engineering, high-tech agriculture as well as
nuclear energy for electricity production.

Biotechnology and genetic engineering
In just a few decades, our understanding of the ways in which living things function
has progressed greatly. This progress has stimulated, and in turn has been stimulated
and made possible by, the development of new technologies allowing us to use and
modify living systems and organisms with ever increasing precision, as well as to
control them more effectively. The media have responded rapidly to the scientific
revolution that biotechnology represents with some praising its innovations and others
denouncing the risks it poses12. Before looking to Europeans views on the prospects of
biotechnology and genetic engineering, the Merriam-Webster dictionary defines
biotechnology as “the biological science when applied especially in genetic engineering
and recombinant DNA technology” and genetic engineering as “the directed alteration
of genetic material by intervention in genetic processes.”
At the EU level 65% of citizens believe that biotechnology and genetic engineering will
have a positive effect on our way of life in the next 20 years. In all countries surveyed
with the exception of Austria, a majority is of the opinion that new technologies in
biotechnology and genetic engineering will have a positive effect on our society. Two of
the EFTA countries surveyed (Iceland: 86% and Norway: 81%) stand out with at least
four in five of the opinion that such developments will have a positive effect on our
society. Within the EU, the highest ranking countries for their positive perceptions are:
Hungary 74%, Spain and Denmark (both 72%), the Czech Republic and Estonia (both
71%), followed by Sweden and Italy (both 70%). The countries where least
respondents believe that the effect of the development of such technologies will be
advantageous for our way of life in the coming 20 years are: Austria (43%), Greece
(53%) and Latvia (54%).

Special EUROBAROMETER 225 “Social values, Science & Technology”
Report
The socio-demographic breakdown of results reveals some interesting differences.
Males (69%) are more likely than females (62%) to convey their belief that advances
in biotechnology and genetic engineering will have a positive effect on our way of life
in 20 years time. Students and those who pursued their studies until at least the age
of 20 are more likely to stand out for their greater inclination to declare their positive
perceptions. Those who claim that they reflect on the meaning of life and/or those who
tend to trust others are more likely to confirm their belief that advances in this area
will have a positive effect on society. Also, respondents who declare that decisions
about science and technology should be primarily based on a risks and benefits
analysis (72%) have a greater tendency to believe that the effect of biotechnology and
genetic engineering will be positive for society compared to those who believe such
decisions should be primarily based on the moral and ethical issues (63%). Finally,
those who believe that women have as much right to a job as men even if jobs are
scarce are more inclined to consider that biotechnology and genetic engineering will
have a positive effect on society in the next 20 years (66%) compared to those who
disagree (61%).
Citizens’ perceptions of the environment, in particular our duty to protect nature or our
right to exploit it, could well have an impact on opinions on biotechnology and genetic
engineering. The table below shows the cross-tabulation of results for the
biotechnology and genetic engineering variable and opinions on our right to exploit
nature for the sake of human well being (q16.1). At the EU level, those who believe
that we have a right to exploit nature for the sake of human well being are more
inclined to be of the opinion that biotechnology and genetic engineering will have a
positive effect on our way of life in the next 20 years (70%) compared to those of the
opposite opinion (63%). It is also worth noting that one in four of the latter group
believe that biotechnology and genetic engineering will have a negative effect on our
way of life in the next 20 years.

High-tech agriculture
Governments and the European Commission have begun to address the question of
the applications of biotechnology, in particular in the areas of agriculture, food,
pharmaceuticals and health care. Respondents were asked for their views on high-tech
agriculture in particular. High-tech agriculture would not of course be limited to
biotechnology - this is referring to advanced technologies in the broad sense of the
term. At the EU level, a similar result to that observed for biotechnology and genetic
engineering emerges here: 66% of EU citizens believe that this will have a positive
effect on our way of life in the next 20 years. Once again, in all countries surveyed,
this time however with the exception of France, a majority declare that the effects of
new technologies in this domain will be positive on our way of life in the coming 20
years. It is interesting to note that ranking at the upper end of the scale are many of
the new Member States: Slovakia (84%), Lithuania and Hungary (both 81%) as well
as Cyprus, the Czech Republic and Poland (80% in all three). Public opinion in France
is notably different compared to that in other European countries: only 36% believe
that advances in high-tech agriculture will have a positive effect on society in 20 years
time. It is important to bear in mind that the meaning of “high-tech agriculture” is
based on respondents own perceptions. For example for some this could be associated
with biotechnology whereas for others it may be the replacement of manual labour
with machinery.
From a socio-demographic perspective, a similar tendency to that revealed above
arises with regard to gender: males (70%) are more likely than females (63%) to
believe in the positive effect of high-tech agriculture and decisions about science and
technology: those who believe that such decisions should be primarily based on a
risks-benefits analysis (72%) compared to those favouring accounting for the moral
and ethical issues (65%). Finally, respondents who do not uphold gender equality
when it comes to political leadership (agree that on the whole men make better
political leaders than women) and university education (agree that a university
education is more important for a boy than for a girl) are more inclined to believe that
high-tech agriculture will have a positive effect on our way of life in the next 20 years
compared to those in favour of gender equality.
Q13.14 For each of these, do you think it will have a positive, a
negative or no effect on our way of life in the next 20 years?

Nuclear energy for electricity production
Focusing now on perceptions of the effect of nuclear energy for electricity production,
the results show that 52% of EU citizens consider that nuclear energy for electricity
production will have a positive effect on society. The detail by country reflects the
range of opinions across Europe on this subject. Respondents in the three of the
candidate countries are most convinced of its positive effect for society in 20 years
time: Romania (73%), Bulgaria (70%) and Turkey (68%). Public opinion in the three
EFTA countries is the polar opposite of this with less than one three declaring that the
effect of nuclear energy for electricity production will be positive for our society:
Norway (33%), Switzerland (32%) and Iceland (20%). Opinion in individual Member
States is situated between both extremes.

Dolly the sheep, born in 1996, may have been the world's most famous clone, but she
was not the first. Cloning creates a genetically identical copy of an animal or plant.
Many animals, including frogs, mice, sheep, and cows, had been cloned before Dolly.
So Dolly was not the first clone, and she looked like any other sheep, but the reason
she caused so much excitement and concern was that she was the first mammal to be
cloned from an adult cell, rather than an embryo. This was a major scientific
achievement, but also raised ethical concerns14.
European citizens were asked for their views on cloning animals when this is for
research into human diseases. At the EU level public opinion on this issue is split
across the answer options: 31% condemn this practice, 22% could accept it in
exceptional circumstances and 35% only if it is highly regulated and controlled. Could
this suggest a certain level willingness among EU citizens regarding the approval of
cloning animals for the sake of human health? However, in this context we should bear
in mind our earlier observation where we saw that in each country surveyed a majority
of respondents believe that we have a duty to protect the rights of animals whatever
the cost.
More citizens in Switzerland (50%), Luxembourg (49%) and the United Kingdom
(44%) would condemn this practice compared to any other country surveyed. On the
other hand, Spain (47%), Belgium (46%), Hungary (44%) and Estonia (43%) stand
out for the relatively higher proportions declaring that they would approve of cloning
animals for the sake of medical research for humans if this was highly regulated and
controlled.

Numerous couples today are faced with the issue of being unable to have a baby. How
would European citizens feel about cloning as an answer to this? The vast majority of
EU citizens (59%) would draw the line when it comes to cloning human beings so that
couples can have a baby even when one partner has a genetic disease.
Citizens in Switzerland (86%), Luxembourg (83%), Iceland (81%) and France (80%
never) are strongest in their stance against cloning human beings so that couples have
a baby even when one partner has a genetic disease.

It would seem that at the EU level while Europeans are strong in their stance against
cloning human beings, they are more receptive to the possibility of cloning human
stem cells from embryos to make cells and organs that can be transplanted into people
with diseases. 41% of EU citizens would approve of this if it is highly regulated and
controlled.
A majority of citizens in Sweden and Iceland would approve of cloning human cells
from embryos to make cells and organs that can be transplanted into people with
diseases only if it is highly regulated and controlled, with respective results of 55% and
52%. It is worth recalling our previous results where we saw that 64% of Icelandic
respondents believe that science and technology decisions should be primarily based
on moral and ethical issues.
More respondents in Greece, Switzerland, Slovenia and Cyprus stand would condemn
cloning human cells from embryos more than any other country surveyed. It is worth
recalling that Greece stood out earlier with 74% declaring that protecting the dignity of
any human unborn life will be very important for our society in 10 years time.

Females (37%) are more likely not to approve under any circumstances of cloning
animals for research into human diseases compared to males (25%). Males on the
other have a greater tendency to accept this only if it is highly regulated and controlled
(39%) compared to their female counterparts (31%).
Those who left school by the age of 15 are more inclined to never approve of animal
cloning for this reason compared to students and those who pursued their studies to a
later age whereas these latter groups have a greater tendency to approve of its use
only if it is highly regulated and controlled.
Respondents who declare that they believe in a God, those who had a strict upbringing
and/or those who believe that science and technology decision-making should be
primarily based upon moral and ethical issues have a greater tendency to disapprove
of animal cloning for research into human diseases regardless the circumstances.

Citizens’ views on nature would seem to be a factor which could influence perceptions
of the use of cloning. The cross-tabulation of results for the “cloning animals such as
monkeys or pigs for research into human diseases” and opinions on our “right to
exploit nature for the sake of human well being” (q16.1) reveal some differences here.
At the EU level, those who believe that we have a right to exploit nature have a
somewhat greater tendency to approve of this kind of cloning in all circumstances
(12%) compared to those who disagree (5%) whereas those who disagree that we
have this right are more inclined to never approve of this kind of cloning (36%) in
comparison to those who agree (25%).

3.4.2 Use of genetics
Source questionnaire: Q17a items 4, 5 and 9, q17b items 2, 4, 5 and 9
- The creation of data banks in order to study the genetic causes of
human diseases would be accepted by 41% of EU citizens provided it
would be highly regulated and controlled A number of applications of science and technology in the area of genetics were put to
respondents who once again indicated to what extent they approve of their use over
the next 20 years. We will look at the responses for those who answered that they
would “never” approve of their use and those who would approve of their use “only if it
is highly regulated and controlled”.
54% of EU citizens are against developing a genetic test for children that would
identify their talents and weaknesses and 19% would only approve of this if it is highly
regulated and controlled. This is the only use of genetics for which a majority declares
their opposition. 42% would never approve of developing a genetic test that would
prolong our expected life span by 25 years.
Turning now to health-related issues, a matter which we have seen citizens feel closely
attached to, the results show that one in three EU citizens would never approve of
developing a genetic test that would tell us about diseases we might get even if we
cannot do anything about them. However, 27% of respondents in the EU would
approve of this if it is highly regulated and controlled. We saw earlier that the vast
majority of EU citizens expressed their opposition to cloning human beings when
natural reproduction is not possible due to a genetic disease. Here we see that 31% of
EU citizens would never approve of genetic testing to produce a child that could act as
a bone-marrow donor for a brother or sister who has a life threatening disease.
Human genetic data, gathered through biological samples (blood, tissue, saliva, sperm,
etc.) play an increasingly important role in our lives. They are already providing
answers to questions asked by judges and police: proof of paternity, identity of a sex
criminal or an accident victim. In varying degrees, they also answer medical questions:
genetic tests can already predict certain diseases and other, less conclusive tests,
indicating a predisposition, provide invaluable information for prevention. Research
based on human genetic data is extremely promising: we can expect more tests of
increasing reliability as well as new approaches for understanding and treating
innumerable diseases. As a result, human genetic data banks are multiplying. Given
that today even the smallest hospitals possess, if not processed genetic data, at least a
collection of DNA samples ready for processing, it is difficult to know how many banks
exist. The largest, of them have already gone beyond the mark of one million data.
The trend is irreversible and entire countries, Iceland and Estonia soon, followed by
Latvia, have decided to undertake a genetic census of their entire population. Yet, like
many other aspects of the ongoing genetic revolution, they pose as many problems as
they resolve.15
What are the perceptions of Europeans with regarding to such genetic data? 41%
approve of the storing of genetic data of our population in data banks in order to study
the genetic causes of human diseases. The proportion which would never approve of
this is considerably lower when compared to observations made above with regard to

other uses of genetic data. 33% would be in favour of storing everyone’s genetic data
so that criminals can be caught easily while 21% would never approve of a genetic
data bank for the purposes of catching criminals. It would seem however that it is
important for some that the use of such data banks is clearly understood. For example
in Iceland, 43% would never approve of storing everyone’s data so that criminals can
be caught easily yet only 8% would never approve of the storage of this data in order
to study the causes of human diseases.

Special EUROBAROMETER 225 “Social values, Science & Technology”
Report
From a socio-demographic perspective, it would seem that the key factors influencing
results when it comes to uses of genetic data are gender as well as views on the
primary basis for decisions about science and technology.
First on gender, females are generally more inclined to convey their total opposition to
the various uses of genetics covered in this question compared to males. Males on the
other hand have a greater tendency to approve of these uses if they are subject to
high regulation and control.
Respondents who declare that they would rather if decisions about science and
technology were primarily based upon moral and ethical issues tend to be more likely
to convey their total opposition to these uses of genetics. Yet, those who would rather
if science and technology decisions were based primarily on a risks-benefits analysis
have a greater inclination to convey their approval if high regulation and control is
imposed.
In the previous section on the impact of new technologies, we saw that 65% of EU
citizens declared that biotechnology and genetic engineering will have a positive effect
on our way of life in the next 20 years. We cross-tabulated the results to this question
with the various uses of genetics analysed above. As we might expect, in each
instance, those who believe that biotechnology and genetic engineering will have a
negative impact on our way of life in the next 20 years systematically stood out for
their greater inclination to respond that that they would never approve of genetics
being used for the purposes identified in this question. Conversely, those who believe
that the effect of biotechnology and genetic engineering will be positive for our way of
life in the coming 20 years have a greater inclination to approve of the application of
genetics in the identified situations if it is highly regulated and controlled. From this we
could assume that an overall positive perception of biotechnology and genetic
engineering implies acceptance of its application while an overall negative impression
of biotechnology and genetic engineering tends to lead to a rejection of its application
regardless the use.

3.4.3 Genetically modified organisms
Source questionnaire: Q17a items 7 and 8, q17b item 7
- Large diversity in public opinion at the national level on the use of
genetically modified organisms for meat products or crops The World Health Organisation defines genetically modified organisms (GMOs) as
organisms in which the genetic material (DNA) has been altered in a way that does not
occur naturally. The technology is often called “modern biotechnology” or “gene
technology”, sometimes also “recombinant DNA technology” or “genetic engineering”.
It allows selected individual genes to be transferred from one organism into another,
also between non-related species.16 What are European citizens’ views on GMOs?
When asked specifically to what extent they would approve of growing meat from cell
cultures so that we do not have to slaughter farm animals, more than one in two
conveys their opposition.
Q17a.7 …please tell me to what extent, if at all, you approve of its
use.

The range of opposition varies across countries with as many as 88% responding
“never” in Cyprus to 23% of this opinion in Bulgaria. Although in nineteen of the
Member States, at least one in two declares that they would never approve of this
practice. Opposition is also strong in the three EFTA countries surveyed as well as in
Romania and Croatia.
Citizens were asked whether they would approve of developing genetically modified
crops in order to increase the variety of regionally grown food. 37% declare that they
would never approve of this while 31% would approve of this provided it was highly
regulated and controlled. The national results show that respondents are less
condemning of GMOs for this purpose. In six of the countries surveyed a majority
respond “never”: Croatia (60%), Switzerland (58%), Cyprus (56%), Greece (54%),
Slovenia (53%) and France (52%).

development of genetically modified crops.
Students have a greater tendency to express their approval of both of these practices
only if it is highly regulated and controlled.
Also, in both instances, those who express their preference for science and technology
decision-making being based primarily on the moral and ethical issues involved are
more inclined to respond “never” compared to those who favour a risks-benefits

have to slaughter farm animals (55%) compared to those who disagree with the
statement on our duty to protect nature (47%). The latter group are more inclined to

Report
CONCLUSION
Science and Technology is a fast moving field. Its development and new discoveries
push individuals to face more and more challenges often concerning the conflict
between the benefits implied and societies’ values and cultural heritage.
Looking at the results of the survey we have firstly seen that in Europe religion and
spirituality are still important: four in five EU citizens have religious or spiritual beliefs
and only 18% declare that they don’t believe that there is any sort of spirit, God or life
force. Nevertheless this spirituality is heterogeneous and is felt with different intensity
across Europe: there is seemingly a move away from religion in its traditional form - “I
believe there is a God” - which seems to affect the Protestant countries as well as
countries with a strong secular tradition. At the same time, there is an affirmation of
traditional religious beliefs in countries where the Church or Religious Institutions have
been historically strong, as well as in some Eastern European countries. The third
tendency is the development of a new kind of religion characterised by the belief that
“there is some sort of spirit or life force”. This new religion or spirituality is more
marked in certain Protestant countries, such as Sweden or Denmark as well as in the
Czech Republic and Estonia.
From the point of view of the public sphere, there is a strong sense of civic duty felt
among European citizens with regard to involvement in politics (75% believe that
people should involve themselves in politics and current affairs) but a certain sense of
defeatism is observed with four in five declaring that they have too little influence in
the Government’s actions. This issue is compounded by the fact that only one in three
know how to get their voice heard in the political arena.
When it comes to university education and right to jobs in a difficult economic climate,
Europeans are strong in their stance on gender equality. However, in the Czech
Republic and Slovakia at least one in two believes that men make better political
leaders than women
What values do Europeans want to pass on to their children? In the Europe of 25,
there is a general tendency to encourage children to be sociable: tolerance and respect
for others as well as a sense of responsibility are the values EU citizens attach most
importance to.
Respect for the environment has become an increasingly important social value in this
post-materialism time. Nevertheless, the results show conflicting views on citizens’
sense of duty to protect nature in spite of limiting human progress (89% at the EU
level) and the right to exploit it for the sake of human well-being (43% at the EU
level).
A first view on the interaction between ethics and science shows a European society
which appears to give priority to objectivity as far as science and technology decisionmaking process is concerned: a majority favours a risks-benefits analysis (53%) over
the moral and ethical issues (33%). Such a view is also closely linked in the public
sphere with a strong perception of the authority of scientists and experts: when asked
with whom science and technology decision-makers should consult, two in three favour
the advice of experts about the risks and benefits involved over the general public’s
views (23%).

In effect, there is an overwhelming recognition of what science and technology have
done for society until now, as well as a positive consensus when it comes to visualizing
their effects on the future quality of life. This is the case even for the more
controversial areas of research such as biotechnology, genetic engineering and hightech agriculture, which a majority of citizens believes will have a positive effect on our
way of life.
Yet, when directly confronted with specific technological and scientific applications,
Europeans still prove to be highly influenced by moral considerations, proving that
science is not completely value-free: while EU citizens seem somewhat prepared to
accept cloning animals (35%: only if it is highly regulated and controlled and 22% only
in exceptional circumstances) and cloning human stem cells from embryos (41%: only
if it is highly regulated and controlled and 20% only in exceptional circumstances) for
the sake of human health, the majority clearly draws the limit when it comes to cloning
human beings (59% respond “never”).
These results show that in cases of potential conflict between a scientific application
and the individuals’ ethic system, public authorities’ regulation and control are
essential. From this perspective, the European Commission could play an extremely
important role as three in four citizens believe that its work in regulating on science
and technology for all EU countries has a positive effect on society.
Europeans’ strong attachment to social values and ethics shows up clearly in the
results. Citizens predict that consideration of our value system, including for example
the protection of personal data, freedom of expression and information, equality and
integration as well as the environment will continue to remain very important for our
society in ten years time. Perceptions of some of the latest advances in science and
technology including cloning, genetically modified organisms and the application of
genetics are heavily influenced by the social values and ethics of citizens. The
challenge of science and technology decision-makers is to pursue the pace of
developments made while accounting for the ethical aspects which Europeans feel so
strongly attached to.

SPECIAL EUROBAROMETER N°225
« Social values, science and technology »
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
Between 3rd January and 15th February 2005, the TNS Opinion & Social, a consortium created
between Taylor Nelson Sofres and EOS Gallup Europe, carried out wave 63.1 of the
EUROBAROMETER, on request of the EUROPEAN COMMISSION, Directorate-General Press and
Communication, Opinion Polls.
The SPECIAL EUROBAROMETER N°225 is part of wave 63.1 and covers the population of the
respective nationalities of the European Union Member States, resident in each of the Member
States and aged 15 years and over. The EUROBAROMETER 63.1 has also been conducted in the
candidate countries (Bulgaria, Romania Croatia and Turkey) and in three EFTA countries (Iceland,
Norway and Switzerland). In these countries, the survey covers the national population of citizens of
the respective nationalities and the population of citizens of all the EU Member States that are
residents in those countries and have a sufficient command of one of the respective national
language(s) to answer the questionnaire. The basic sample design applied in all states is a multistage, random (probability) one. In each country, a number of sampling points was drawn with
probability proportional to population size (for a total coverage of the country) and to population
density.
In order to do so, the sampling points were drawn systematically from each of the "administrative
regional units", after stratification by individual unit and type of area. They thus represent the whole
territory of the countries surveyed according to the EUROSTAT NUTS II (or equivalent) and according
to the distribution of the resident population of the respective nationalities in terms of metropolitan,
urban and rural areas. In each of the selected sampling points, a starting address was drawn, at
random. Further addresses were selected as every Nth address by standard "random route"
procedures, from the initial address. In each household, the respondent was drawn, at random
(following the "closest birthday rule"). All interviews have been conducted face-to-face in people's
home and in the appropriate national language. As far as the data capture is concerned, CAPI
(Computer Assisted Personal Interview) was used in those countries where this technique was
available.

For each country a comparison between the sample and the universe was carried out. The Universe
description was derived from Eurostat population data or from national statistics offices. For all
countries surveyed, a national weighting procedure, using marginal and intercellular weighting, was
carried out based on this Universe description. As such in all countries, gender, age, region and size
of locality were introduced in the iteration procedure. For international weighting (i.e. EU averages),
TNS Opinion & Social applies the official population figures as provided by EUROSTAT or national
statistic offices. The total population figures for input in this post-weighting procedure are listed
above.
Readers are reminded that survey results are estimations, the accuracy of which, everything being
equal, rests upon the sample size and upon the observed percentage. With samples of about 1,000
interviews, the real percentages vary within the following confidence limits:
Observed percentages
10% or 90%
20% or 80%
30% or 70%
