"I voted in favour of the own-initiative report by Mrs Harkin on the role of volunteering in contributing to economic and social cohesion. I admire her excellent research into volunteering as a major force nurturing civil society and strengthening solidarity – one of the core values of the EU. This recognition of the usefulness of volunteering in both the public and private sphere is essential to its development and to finding the balance between economic, social and the environmental aspects; i.e. the sustainable development that is at the heart of the European approach. I regret that the report does not tackle the issue of the value of volunteering without also dealing with the type of voluntary activity that could be classed as paid volunteering since the rapporteur has defined volunteering as being unpaid. This report is an important step towards the vital recognition of Non-Profit Institutions (NPIs)."@en1
