The Barcelona European
Council established objectives relating to the provision of childcare facilities. By 2010, places should be available for 90% of children
between the age of three and the age at which schooling is compulsory and for 33% of children under three. Currently, and despite improvements, the Commission notes that, according to childcare indicators, the provision of nursery places may vary significantly from
one Member State to another (for exam ...[+++]ple, for children under three, the respective figures are: 4% in Italy, 8.6% in Spain and 77% in Sweden).
Actuellement, en dépit d'améliorations, la Commission observe que, d'après les indicateurs sur les soins aux enfants, l'offre de structures de garde peut varier très sensiblement d'un État membre à l'autre (par exemple pour les enfants de moins de 3 ans, 4% en Italie, 8,6% en Espagne, 77% en Suède).
