Amendment 27 #
Proposal for a decision Recital 3 a (new) (3a) The term "voluntary activities" refers to all forms of voluntary activity, whether formal, non-formal, informal and vocational training , which are undertaken of a person's own free-will, choice and motivation, and are without concern for financial gain. They benefit the individual volunteer, communities and society as a whole. They are also a vehicle for individuals and associations to address human, social or environmental needs and concerns, especially when they are faced with emergency situations that can involve society as a whole. Such activities are often carried out in support of a non- profit organisation or community-based initiative. Voluntary activities do not replace professional, paid employment opportunities, but add value to society by virtue of their social and cultural aims.

Proposal for a decision Recital 10 (10) The Commission emphasised it its Communication on ‘Europe 2020 — A strategy for smart, sustainable and inclusive growth’ the importance to the European Union of promoting a healthy and active ageing population in the interests of social cohesion and higher productivity. It proposed a flagship initiative ‘An agenda for new skills and jobs’, under which Member States should notably promote active ageing policies, and a flagship initiative on a ‘European Platform against Poverty’. Achieving these policy goals requires action from all levels of government and various non- governmental stakeholders; they can in turn be supported, at the Union level, by European Year activities aimed at raising awareness and fostering the exchange of good practice. National coordinators should see to it that national action is coordinated and is consistent with the overall objectives of the European Year.

Draft opinion Paragraph 2 a (new) 2 a. Observes that austerity measures such as cuts in spending on social and health services at a national level tend to impact first on women and girls.
