"The Danube plays a very important role in economic and social cohesion, as well as in Europe’s cultural development. The European Danube Commission was founded on 30 March 1856 in the wake of the Paris Conference, with its headquarters in Galaţi, in Romania. It was one of the first European institutions and its aim was to establish an international system for free navigation on the Danube.
TEN-T priority axis 18 formed by the Danube and the Main-Rhein Canal provides the connection between the Black Sea and North Sea, cutting the distance between the sea ports of Rotterdam and Constanţa by 4 000 kilometres. The Danube must be given a higher priority within the Community’s policies. I propose setting up at the start of the next term of the European Parliament an intergroup for promoting the Danube.
In the years to come, we will need to join efforts and adopt a common approach for dealing with the development initiatives affecting the Danube region. We need an integrated European development strategy for the Danube River Basin to promote economic development, the development of the transport infrastructure and environmental protection."@en1
