CUERPO DE VOLUNTARIOS EUROPEOS DE AYUDA HUMANITARIA

The European Voluntary Humanitarian Aid is one big step closer to reality - its pilot phase was launched in Budapest today, at a conference organised by the European Commission and the Hungarian Presidency of the European Union. Inspired by the vision for the Corps set out in the Treaty of Lisbon, building on a thorough review of existing volunteering schemes, and taking into account stakeholders’ recommendations, the European Commission is now starting the practical implementation of the initiative - by selecting, training and deploying the first team of European humanitarian volunteers.
