Italy: opinions on EU policies 2021 | Statista

According to a survey conducted in May 2021, Italians' opinions about European Union's actions varied considerably from field to field. Positive opinions seemed predominant when talking about policy areas such as civil rights and liberties, Research & Development, environment and energy. On the other hand, in many other fields, EU's actions were negatively assessed. In particular, the respondents' opinion was especially harsh towards the European fiscal policy.
