In the run-up to the European elections in June, AFP asked voters about the impact the EU has on their daily life. "Just to be able to work here, to be able to work without any problems, and to be able to move freely within the EU. I think that's a great privilege that we enjoy", says Nico, a German student who lives in Vienna. "We don't wake up every day and say 'oh, what is the EU doing today?', but it's in our lives", summarises James, a consultant in Dublin. SOUNDBITES
