EPA by the numbers We ♥ the EU — sort of Trust in the EU is on the rise, immigration is the biggest concern for EU citizens.

Move over Euroskeptics: the image of the European Union is inching up.

According to a new Eurobarometer poll, 41 percent of EU citizens have a positive image of the bloc, up from 39 percent from a similar survey last November, with 19 percent having a negative view and 38 percent not caring one way or the other.

The EU has a mostly positive image in 15 member countries, with the highest levels of support in Romania (62 percent) and Ireland (57 percent). At the other end of the scale were Austria (with 36 percent of those surveyed having a positive view of the EU) and Cyprus (42 percent). In embattled Greece, 37 percent had a negative view, with 25 percent positive and 38 percent neutral.

The survey released Friday also found that trust in the EU is at 40 percent across the bloc. That’s a rise of three percentage points since the November 2014 poll and nine percentage points since the 2014 elections to the European Parliament.

Trust in national political institutions is also on the rise, although not by as much, with 31 percent of Europeans saying they trusted their government (a rise of two percentage points) and the same number saying they trusted their national parliament (a rise of one percentage point).

Immigration is the main concern for citizens in the EU, according to the survey.

Thirty-eight percent of those surveyed said that immigration was their chief concern, a rise of 14 percentage points from the last survey. The economic situation was the second biggest topic of concern among EU citizens, the poll found, followed by unemployment and the state of EU member countries’ public finances.

Immigration topped the list of concerns in 20 of the 28 EU member countries, with the highest numbers in Malta (65 percent), which is one of the main routes for migrants into the EU, and Germany (55 percent).

The EU has struggled this year to deal with migration issues across the bloc, from almost daily attempts by migrants to cross the Channel tunnel from France to the United Kingdom, to the Italian and Greek governments struggling to cope with an influx of refugees.

How to handle the flow of migrants and refugees making the journey across the Mediterranean rose to the top of the EU agenda in April after hundreds died making the trip. The European Commission proposed in May that member countries take 40,000 asylum seekers in Italy and Greece via mandatory quotas. But in July they failed to hit their self-imposed deadline.

The survey was carried out from May 16-27 in the 28 member countries of the EU plus the five candidates for membership (Albania, Macedonia, Montenegro, Serbia and Turkey) and the Turkish Cypriot community of Cyprus. A total of 31,868 people were interviewed.
