Hello, Marko. I would suggest that you contact the folks at GESIS in
Cologne in Germany: http://www.gesis.org/en/eurobarometer/data-access/.
GESIS has very extensive Eurobarometer holdings - certainly moreso than the
ICPSR. So if there are restricted-access versions of Eurobarometer
microdata files available, they will likely know of them - and are much
more likely to respond to you than anyone at the EU. GESIS is also the
home for the ISSP data, so they'll be able to answer your questions there
as well.
