"I voted for the report on recognising and promoting cross-border voluntary activities in the EU. Volunteering is an informal learning experience suitable for persons of all ages, offering benefits in terms of personal development, civic values, social solidarity and participation in democratic life. We call on Member States which do not have a clear and adequate legal framework for volunteers to put one in place and devise national strategies to promote volunteering activities, including recognition for volunteers’ rights, as well as to focus on this sector when devising future policies, programmes and funding. National, regional and local authorities and the EU must pay particular attention to disadvantaged young people, especially people with disabilities, so that they can participate in volunteering activities and receive appropriate educational and financial support. We propose setting up a centralised EU portal, in cooperation with organisations and associations working in this sector, to include a database of volunteering best practice and a section on cross-border volunteering. The portal must provide information on the programmes available, their costs and the conditions for participation, as well as information on administrative formalities, the legal and fiscal aspects of volunteering, barriers encountered in accessing programmes and the best ways to tackle them."@en1
