Report of a survey of 231 EU civil servants, commissioned by centre-left think tank the Foundation for European Progressive Studies (FEPS).

The survey showed that almost one in two European civil servants think that European integration is evolving negatively and nearly 90% of them are of the opinion that the political authorities must take their responsibility. These officials seem to have limited confidence in their own ranks, however, since in their opinion, it is up to the Member States to stimulate allegiance to Europe, ahead of their own institutions that they assign to the second position.
