lpv:translated text	"In light of the many initiatives and debates during 2011, the European Year of Volunteering, it has been shown that voluntary activities are an expression of active citizenship in all spheres of social life and an essential activity for the development of democratic values, human dignity, equality and subsidiarity. The figures are clear: approximately 100 million European citizens are working in various voluntary activities and are accounting for 5% of European GDP. We are convinced that cross-border volunteering is a unique and unmissable opportunity for intercultural enrichment for our young European citizens. Therefore, it is our duty to support any initiative that brings together an ever-increasing number of European countries in the joint organisation of events. Unfortunately, in this area as well, there are continuing problems owing to language barriers and red tape. The latter can be reduced through appropriate European support policies. We must therefore strive to do more and to do better. Among the specific measures, we support the idea of establishing a centralised EU portal on volunteering with a specific section dedicated to cross-border volunteering, creating a ‘European Voluntary Humanitarian Aid Corps’ and developing a ‘European Skills Passport’."@en1
