Very few of our readers will be unaware of the existence of the Eurobarometer. Many will be aware of its rich history: the conception and launch, in 1974, by Jacques-René Rabier, of this tool, the first of its kind in the world, to take regular measure of the opinions of European citizens. Anybody wishing to find out more can visit the Commission’s website (http://bit.ly/2VOPQ6P) or read the book on Rabier by Michel Theys, columnist and commentator of this agency (http://bit.ly/2VMZfvC).
