"Mr President, I would first like to thank Mr Scurria for the excellent cooperation in the preparation of this report, and I am delighted that, following the European Year of Volunteering in 2011, we have produced an assessment of what the voluntary sector in the EU really looks like, and we can see where the shortcomings are and where there is room for improvement. We must always, of course, bear in mind the rights of volunteers and their genuine non-discrimination, so that everyone has the same opportunities and the same chances. In relation to volunteering, it is very important to discuss quality, the recognition of voluntary operations and voluntary activities, and also the protection of volunteers as such. We know that many EU countries do not, for example, have a law on volunteering, even though the situation is constantly improving. This is one of the proposals, for example, which we have pushed for in this report. I would be delighted if we could really push through support for volunteering in all age categories in the new EU programmes for 2014-2020, and if we could remember that this activity is highly beneficial to society and that everyone engaged in it is really performing a very worthwhile activity."@en1
