"Volunteering is a vital resource in our society: there are approximately 100 million volunteers working in Europe who are also accounting for 5% of European GDP. It is therefore easy to see the importance of encouraging and promoting the development of this culture, which focuses on helpfulness and generosity towards others. The report mentions the need to coordinate these activities, including by creating cross-border exchanges, and evaluates the establishment of a European Voluntary Humanitarian Aid Corps, intended to operate mainly in the case of natural disasters and major events. The development of a European Skills Passport could no doubt be useful as well, since it provides guarantees regarding the professionalism and skill of people working as volunteers. For all these reasons, and in view of the immense and valuable service that volunteers of all ages perform on a daily basis, I decided to support this proposal in the hope that it will further stimulate this fundamental sector."@en1
