Around 4% Of Romanian Web-Surfing Children Accessed Inappropriate Content In 2010 – Eurostat

The data draws on cases reported by people aged 16-74, living in households with at least one child.

The study says only 3% of Romanian households with children use parental control or web filtering software, while the EU average is 14%. In Luxembourg, Slovenia, Denmark, France, Finland and Austria, between 20 and 25% of households use such software.

In 2010, 5% of the individuals in the EU who used the Internet in the last 12 months „reported they experienced children accessing inappropriate websites or connecting with potentially dangerous persons while using a computer within the household,” according to Eurostat. The highest share of such cases was recorded in Italy (11%), Latvia (9%) and Bulgaria (8%).
