Location of event
The Strategy will be both integrated (ie. it will cover several policy areas making the links between them) and focused (ie. it will concentrate on the main issues which concern the entire macro-region).
Its content will be discussed with the countries concerned, relevant stakeholders within the region (including regions, municipalities, international organisations, financial institutions, the socio-economic partners and civil society) and the relevant services in the Commission. The other institutions of the EU will be closely involved.
At this stage, it is envisaged to have 3 ‘pillars’:
1. To improve connectivity and communication systems (covering in particular transport, energy issues and the information society);
2. To preserve the environment and prevent against natural risks;
3. and to reinforce the potential for socio-economical development.
The approach draws on the experience of the EU Strategy for the Baltic Sea Region, while also taking into account the different nature of the Danube Region. In particular, such a strategy involves the relevant partners aiming at finding agreed solutions to common challenges / opportunities and providing a governance mechanism for a common strategic approach, as well as for the implementation of concrete actions / projects.
