Generation Europe
A TIME special report


Who Are We?
To what extent do you see yourself as European?


  Most young Europeans consider themselves to be primarily British, French, German or Italian rather than European. Yet almost one-third now regard themselves more as Europeans than as nationals of their home country


   The Italians see themselves as more European than the other nationalities surveyed, with two in five regarding themselves as more European than Italian. The Italians also have the greatest enthusiasm for integration


   Over one-third of Germans view themselves as primarily European, while the British are least likely to feel any European identity


   Young people in all four countries think there is now a fairly even balance of power between national governments and the European Union, but they expect that balance to shift to the E.U. in years to come

   The British are the least enthusiastic about political union and would like to see a shift in power back to the British government


Question 3:
To what extent do you support or oppose further research into genetic engineering? >>
