This paper presents the results of a survey on the future of European integration conducted in the national parliaments of France and Germany. In particular, we collected the opinions of members of national parliaments on the increased involvement of the European Union in the labor market policies of Member States. We also asked them about their views on the creation of a common unemployment insurance and whether more flexibility is needed in national labor markets. After reporting descriptive and summary statistics, we show that for the majority of questions the answers reflect more of an ideological (left/right) divide than a French/German one.
