Also provided is the code book which explains the questions and variables used. The data includes comparison of voting patterns, public attitudes and levels of engagement with the European Parliament and European elections, and levels of awareness of media campaigns during EU elections from 1989-2004.

EU profiler is a voting application tool designed to help voters make decisions on who to vote for in the 2009 European Parliament elections. Users are asked a series of questions which provides them with information on who is running in the elections, the policies of the main political parties and where they stand in relation to them. The project was developed by the Robert Schuman Centre for Advanced Studies (RCAS), part of the European University Institute (EUI); Kieskompas and the NCCR Democracy (University of Zurich/Zentrum für Demokratie Aarau)/Politools network. Technical and methodological information about the tool is provided on the website.
