lpv:translated text	"Volunteering, as one of the basic principles of the EU, enhances social skills and competences, and thus contributes to democratic development. It facilitates the reinforcement of social solidarity and offers a wide range of experiences, and is therefore for the benefit of not just the volunteers but also the communities involved, and society as a whole. It is clear to us that these voluntary activities, undertaken by individuals on their own volition and motivation, without the intention to make a profit, have positive effects at national, regional, local, as well as European level. Thus, volunteering plays a very important role in the realisation of social capital and development. This type of participation in democratic life solidifies civil values. This is why I find it important to emphasise the elimination of persistent barriers, as indicated in this report, namely, that the national legal systems of certain Member States do not or only partially recognise the practice of volunteering. We are all aware that due to the economic crisis, voluntary organisations do not have sufficient resources to be able to obtain funding under existing EU programmes. In order for the actors involved to be able to make better use of their cross-border projects, they must be made aware of existing European programmes, in particular, the programmes of ‘European territorial cooperation’ within the cohesion policy, and a national strategy providing an appropriate legal framework for volunteers needs to be established as well. I would also like to mention that such a cooperation would be particularly important in the context of European Neighbourhood Policy as it would allow people belonging to minorities to participate in voluntary activities, which would contribute to their social integration and inclusion."@en1
