Respondents were asked the extent to which they agreed with the statement "Here are scenarios that have been reported extensively in the press in recent times:•A fire at a factory in Pakistan supplying European clothing companies resulted in hundreds of workers dead or injured. It was proven afterwards that the condition of the factory and the building was not legal and the workers were subject to conditions which violated their human rights. •An oil company, working to produce oil for European consumption in the Niger Delta, has continued to pollute and destroy the lives of the local communities for more than 60 years.•In Colombia, local communities around a mine that ships coal to the EU have suffered land grabs and forced evictions as well as health problems from the poisonous dust produced by the mine and the toxic waste dumped into their rivers that has contaminated their water supply. To what extent do you agree or disagree that the victims of these scenarios should have the possibility to take the companies involved to court and claim compensation in the [relevant EU country] where these companies are based?"
