"I support this report, which focuses on the situation of single mothers in the EU. Single mothers face multiple problems, such as the interruption of their education, bad health, unemployment and a higher risk of poverty – in fact, 32% of single-mother households in the EU-25 were at risk of poverty, compared to 12% for couples. The Barcelona European Council called for the provision of child care for at least 33% of children under 3 years and for 90% from 3 years up to school age. However, only five Member States have met these targets. This report calls on the Member States to redouble their efforts and be more ambitious and ensure access to child care facilities for 50% of 0-3 year-olds and 100% for 3-6 year-olds. It also proposes tax breaks for companies that employ single parents and provide child care facilities. The report also addresses the role of the father and shared care, which is very common in some Member States but almost non-existent in others. It urges the Member States to introduce specially designed policies and financial assistance for single mothers and to ensure regular payment."@en1
