"This report aims to review 2011’s European Year of Voluntary Activities Promoting Active Citizenship and, simultaneously, to strengthen volunteer support measures inside and outside the EU. Volunteering is an activity which instils core values in citizens, namely, the promotion of solidarity and equality, which draws out the individual’s more humanist side, through active participation in society at all levels. It is thus essential not to forget the importance of the Year of the Volunteer and the application of support measures. As such, the rapporteur proposes the creation of ‘a European Voluntary Humanitarian Aid Corps’ which works with already existing institutions and structures; a portal centralising all volunteering-related information inside and outside the EU; tax incentives, especially to smaller organisation with scarce financial resources; the creation of a special status for organisations which facilitate cross-border volunteering; and the creation of a European Skills Passport, which validates voluntary experience as part of informal training. Volunteering constitutes the purest form of active citizenship and a key element of citizens’ personal development. It deserves to be supported and developed."@en1
