"I supported the report entitled ‘Recognising and promoting cross-border voluntary activities in the EU’. In my opinion, this document discusses comprehensively the benefits, results and deficiencies of volunteering in Europe. Even after the end of the European Year of Volunteering (2011), volunteering remains a major aspect of the European Year for Active Ageing (2012) and the European Year of Citizens (2013).
I agree that through their activities, volunteers acquire skills that would be worth summarising in a common ‘European Skills Passport’. This could be used to motivate volunteers or to publicly recognise their experience in this field. Furthermore, voluntary activities also facilitate intercultural learning, as volunteers can learn languages and become acquainted with the local culture where they work. Additionally, as a Hungarian Member of the Group of the European People’s Party (Christian Democrats), I find it important to establish good cooperation with volunteers working in third countries; I am thinking here specifically of Serbia and Ukraine, and the positive effects of the voluntary activities conducted there on democracy and on the promotion of the rule of law."@en1
