Press Release: Migration challenges are best tackled at EU level, says Eurobarometer poll

An Eurobarometer poll released on 14 October 2015 revealed that immigration and terrorism were EU citizens' fastest-growing concerns. An EU average of 66% of respondents said that more decisions on migration should be taken at EU level, rather than by national governments alone, but the survey found marked differences among countries on all the issues addressed.

The poll was commissioned by the European Parliament.
