Can the Council tell me exactly what these target figures are?

Can the Council say what the precise current situation is in each of the EU Member States (i.e. how many
childcare places are available per inhabitant) and what efforts each Member State must make (also in
figures, please) in order actually to achieve these target figures?

Reply

(30 September 2002)

The Council can confirm that the fifth indent of Paragraph 32 of the Presidency conclusions of the
Barcelona European Council in March 2002 states the following:

Member States should remove disincentives to female labour force participation and strive, taking into
account the demand for childcare facilities and in line with national patterns of provision, to provide
childcare by 2010 to at least 90 % of children between 3 years old and the mandatory school age and
at least 33 % of children under 3 years of age;

The Council is not aware of the precise situation in each of the Member States, and cannot indicate what
efforts are needed to achieve the targets. However, the European Commission, and the Member States
themselves, may be able to provide these figures.

WRITTEN QUESTION P-1406/02

by Carlos Bautista Ojeda (Verts/ALE) to the Council

Subject: Conflict concerning Spanish clementines

(13 May 2002)

Can the Council say whether the current conflict between the United States and Spain concerning Spanish
clementines was discussed during the last meeting between the Spanish Prime Minister José María Aznar
and the US President George Bush held last week (29 April to 5 May 2002)?

If talks were held, can the Council say what the outcome was?

Reply

(30 September 2002)

Last December the United States Department of Agriculture suspended imports of Spanish clementines on
plant-health grounds. Despite good technical cooperation between the two parties it has not to date been
possible to solve the problem.

The European Union has raised the matter on several occasions at bilateral meetings with the United States
it has stressed the need to find a
authorities and, at the most recent EU-USA summit in particular,
satisfactory solution so that exports may be resumed before the start of the next marketing year.

Consultations between the two parties continue to that end.
