&lt;br>&lt;b>&lt;i>Major investigated questions&lt;/i>&lt;/b>:

Respondents were asked in what information about Lithuania's membership in the EU they are interested and where this information should be published. They were also asked whether they know about the European information centers - Europe Direct - in Lithuania and whether they used services of these centers to get information about Lithuania's membership in the EU and EU issues. Respondents were asked whether they know when Lithuania will chair the EU and whether they would like to receive more information about the preparations for this process. They were also asked whether they will participate in the European Parliament elections in 2009, whether they know what the members of European Parliament representing Lithuania and whether they would like to receive more information about the work of representatives of Lithuania in the European Parliament. Respondents were asked whether they had heard about the new Lisbon Treaty, are familiar with the content of this Treaty whether the information about this Treaty is sufficient. They were also asked how the interests of Lithuania are defended in the EU. Respondents were asked whether Lithuania is an equal member of the EU and if not to indicate the reasons why they believe that Lithuania is not an equal member of the EU. Respondents were also asked whether the EU should continue the integration of new members and if so, what states should become new members of the EU.
