lpv:translated text	"Volunteering activities are essential for encouraging citizens to be active in their societies, for enhancing integration and promoting democratic values. In Europe, according to figures from the European Commission, over 100 million Europeans are engaged in voluntary activities; three in ten EU citizens claim to be active in a voluntary activity and close to 80% of respondents consider volunteering an important part of democratic life. In addition to having a clear social impact, volunteering activities also have an economic impact as volunteers can improve their working skills and widen professional qualifications. In fact, voluntary activities alone can add to the production of 5% of European GDP. To continue supporting volunteering activities in Europe, the current report calls on the Commission and the Member States to set a legal framework and define clear rules for volunteering and volunteers in and between Member States. The report suggests using existing programmes, such as the Cohesion Policy and CEV, along with new schemes, such as tax breaks and the ‘European Skills Passport’, to facilitate and promote activities across Europe. Implementing this report could accelerate efforts to build a social and economic citizens’ Europe and therefore I voted in favour of it."@en1
