Asked if they were “currently benefitting from international trade or not” (that is, trade with countries outside the EU), 76% of survey respondents in the grand duchy said ‘yes’.

That is the 6th highest level of positive replies in the bloc, behind Sweden (86%), Finland (80%), Malta, the Netherlands and Denmark (all 78%), and just ahead of Ireland (75%).

The EU average was 60%.

The lowest share of ‘yes’ replies was recorded in Croatia, Bulgaria and Latvia (all 52%), Romania and Greece (both 45%), and Italy (35%).

The numbers are from the European Commission’s Eurobarometer polling service, which released the survey on 20 November.

The commission’s Eurobarometer poll was based on a total of 27,438 face-to-face interviews in the EU, including 514 interviews in Luxembourg, conducted in May 2019.
