"Volunteering plays an important role in European economic and social sustainability. It echoes the fundamental values of justice, solidarity, inclusion and solidarity upon which the European Union is based. The success of the European Year of Voluntary Activities in 2011 was evident, and we now need to pave the way for the growth of volunteering activities which directly contribute to the core objectives of EU policy, such as social inclusion, employment, education, skills development and citizenship. As well as making people more tolerant, it creates human and social capital and plays a vital role in the areas of aid and humanitarian cooperation, whether in post-crisis or disaster situations, or in cross-border sustainable development. I therefore argue that the Commission and the Member States should promote volunteering activities by establishing a clear and adequate legal framework for volunteers, and by eliminating bureaucracy and obstacles through
easier visa regimes for non-EU citizens wishing to enter the EU for the purpose of volunteering, the creation of synergies with existing organisations, and the creation of the centralised EU portal or European Voluntary Humanitarian Aid Corps provided for in the Treaty of Lisbon."@en1
