The European Parliament’s latest Eurobarometer survey published on 3 September 2025 reveals citizens’ high expectations regarding the EU and its post-2027 budget.

In the midst of geopolitical uncertainty, the majority of Europeans think the EU should play a greater part in protecting its citizens against global crises and security risks (68%). Nine out of ten European citizens call for EU Member States to be more united (90%) and over three quarters believe that the EU needs more means to face the current global challenges (77%).

The EU needs to focus on defence and security (37%) and on competitiveness, economy and industry (32%) to reinforce its position in the world and address the current political and economic context, according to survey respondents. When asked about the issues the European Parliament should give priority to, inflation, rising prices and the cost of living (41%), defence and security (34%), and the fight against poverty and social exclusion (31%) come first. Getting inflation and the cost of living under control, was already a key issue in the last European elections, as shown by the&nbsp;<a data-analytics-event-attached="true" href="https://europa.eu/eurobarometer/surveys/detail/3292" rel="noopener" target="_blank">EU post-electoral Eurobarometer survey</a>, with the economic situation continuing to be a major concern for many Europeans.

To invest better in what matters, close to eight in ten Europeans believe that an increasing number of projects will need to be funded by the EU as a whole, rather than by Member States individually (78%).

The European Parliament’s Spring 2025 Eurobarometer survey was carried out by Verian research agency from 5 to 29 May 2025 in all 27 EU Member States.&nbsp;
