"Mr President, the importance of volunteering cannot be overestimated, both for the operation of modern states and for the function of civil society. The fact that the document we have before us stresses the importance of volunteering for the function of both societies and states is very important to me personally, as well as to my political group. While we appreciate the effort Mr Scurria has put into his work on this document, and while we appreciate the merits of volunteering, my political group will have to abstain from voting, mainly because some parts of the report threaten to increase the costs involved in running these programmes and promoting the idea we are talking about here. This was also mentioned by Ms Harkin in her speech. The report also contains several other things, and this is why – while we appreciate the merits of volunteering – we are going to abstain in this vote, although we do believe that the idea itself is very important."@en1
