It was explored whether people in Lithuania will feel the possible benefits and drawbacks of Lithuania’s EU membership, and respondents were also given the opportunity to assess the speed of positive or negative changes in various areas of state and social life. The aim was to find out how life has changed in different areas since Lithuania became a full member of the EU. It was investigated whether EU membership helps strengthen democracy in Lithuania and whether Lithuania is fully capable of competing with other EU member states. Respondents were also asked to evaluate and justify their opinion on whether Lithuania will preserve its national identity (including Lithuanian culture) while being an EU member. Questions were asked about whether respondents would leave or plan to do so if they had the opportunity to work legally in other EU countries. Interest in the activities of Lithuanian representatives in the EP (European Parliament), discussions on the future of the EU, Lithuania’s representation in the EU, and EU institutions in general was assessed. Respondents were asked to indicate what they would most like to learn about if there were a need to know more about EU support for Lithuania. It was evaluated through which of the listed different information sources information about the EU in general, EU support, the EP, and discussions on the future of the EU should be disseminated in order to attract respondents’ attention. In this way, it was also sought to find out which of the listed individuals’ information about the EU in general, EU support, the EP, and discussions on the future of the EU respondents would trust the most. The study examined whether respondents had heard about European information centers – Europe Direct – in the counties, as well as the free Europe Direct telephone number for obtaining information about the EU. It was also sought to find out whether respondents had heard about Europe Direct events and whether they had participated in them. The transparency of the administration of support provision to various sectors was assessed both in EU and Lithuanian institutions. Respondents’ intentions to prepare a project in order to obtain additional funds for the development of small business were examined. Respondents were asked to provide suggestions on which topics discussions about the future of the EU should take place in Lithuania and how Lithuania could contribute to solving EU problems in the future. They were asked to evaluate in which policy areas Lithuania is most active or is a leader in the EU and how respondents today would describe Lithuania’s role in the EU. The aim was also to find out whether respondents intend to participate in the European Parliament elections to be held in 2009 and what could encourage them to turn out to vote.
