"I voted in favour of the European Parliament’s resolution on recognising and promoting cross-border voluntary activities in the EU since I believe that this is a key issue in view of the number of citizens of all ages involved in volunteering, a number which is growing year on year. Voluntary activities allow citizens to acquire skills which make them more employable and help boost economic growth during the ongoing economic crisis, for example, by effectively limiting unemployment. It is also vital for a clear legal framework to be established at EU level regulating voluntary activities. At the same time, however, it should not be possible for volunteers to be exploited by being asked to perform tasks which could be carried out by a paid employee. In addition, it is particularly important for the Member States to adopt appropriate regulations ensuring legal security and certainty for volunteers in respect of insurance issues, since this would undoubtedly act as an added incentive for people to volunteer."@en1
