The European Commission published on the 8th June the 2012 Eurobarometer results on the attitude of EU citizens towards humanitarian aid and civil protection.
Nine out of 10 citizens (88 %) believe it is important for the European Union to fund humanitarian aid, a rise of nine percentage points since the last survey in 2010.
Almost as many, 84 %, support maintaining humanitarian aid funding in spite of the current economic crisis and pressures on public finances.
