lpv:translated text	"I was actively involved in the European Year of Volunteering, which I chose as the theme for 2011, and promoted activities in the Azores and in Brussels. I am pleased to see that all the initiatives organised for the European Year of Voluntary Activities in 2011 have helped to demonstrate the importance of volunteering, a phenomenon involving around 100 million Europeans, who are able to contribute 5% of European GDP. The times in which we live and the need for fiscal consolidation are endangering the financial sustainability of many non-governmental organisations, making it necessary to ensure adequate and stable funding and to simplify administrative procedures. As such, Parliament is urging the Member States to contribute to that end. I would also highlight the call for the Commission to negotiate easier visa regimes for non-EU citizens wishing to enter the EU, and to establish a centralised EU volunteering portal. I voted for this report for all of those reasons."@en1
