"I was very happy to support this joint motion for resolution especially considering I was a founding member of the European Parliament volunteering interest group. Overall, the resolution is very balanced and I was happy that it noted the urgent need for better EU coordinated policy on volunteering, to give volunteers a proper legal status and help them join programmes. Almost 100 million EU citizens have taken part as volunteers in education, culture or arts, sport events, humanitarian and development aid work. Young people should take advantage of volunteering schemes to develop skills and acquire experience that helps them to find jobs afterwards.
To encourage volunteering, a more supportive environment is essential, including a legal framework with clear rights and responsibilities for programme managers and volunteers, as well as fair funding. Thankfully, the resolution noted this. Likewise, I was very happy that the motion for resolution called for the European Commission to improve its communication strategy and public access to information about opportunities in the European Volunteering Service and also to develop a more coordinated volunteering policy, with a single contact point in the EU institutions and a simpler application system for both individuals and organisations."@en1
