"Madam President, this list of countries is not – as you will understand – something that the Presidency-in-Office of the Council can decide. The governments that I mentioned a moment ago are interested in developing this strategy, and we need to wait for the Commission to publish its communication.
I do want to say that these countries consider that the European Union needs to play a leadership role in this strategy, especially the Commission, by facilitating cooperation in the Danube region.
The statement that I referred to previously, made on 25 February, says how the strategy for the Danube region should be used to increase prosperity, security and peace for the people who live in the region, through trans-regional and trans-national cooperation, as well as coordination at that level.
It also considers the following to be strategic policy areas to be included in the strategy: infrastructure, innovation, cultural and artistic activities, sustainable economic development, tourism, food safety, the economy, cooperation in relation to small and medium-sized enterprises, research and development, migration, sport, education, employment, health, social affairs, along with other areas that the document covers extensively and ambitiously.
I think that the strategy for the Danube region is an important document, and therefore I thank you for your question, which has given me an opportunity to mention it. I think it is an ambitious objective, and we are currently waiting – I repeat once again – for this consultation to take place and for the communication from the Commission, but the political will does, of course, exist. The three members of the Trio of Presidencies and the Presidency of the Council have the political will to launch this strategy for the Danube region."@en1
