"In the wake of the European Year of Volunteering, I think it is vital that the European Parliament also takes steps forward to make volunteering European. Indeed, volunteers contribute so much in their cultural or environmental activities, their social and local work, that the need to support them is undeniable. Yet, they still face many difficulties. Three out of four Europeans believe that there should be more volunteer programmes. I therefore supported this report, as it proposes the creation of an ambitious European Voluntary Humanitarian Aid Corps, which will train volunteers and send them to do local work. On the other hand, we call for the creation of a European Skills Passport so that volunteering receives proper recognition. Encouraging European volunteering means encouraging European growth, in accordance with the Europe 2020 strategy, and combating youth unemployment. This is because the technical and human skills that they acquire are all assets on the job market or for getting onto certain university courses. Lastly, volunteering can strengthen the sense of citizenship and European identity in all of us."@en1
