BIODIVERSITY ISSUE ON DANUBE RIVER-DANUBE DELTA- BLACK SEA SYSTEM. INTERNATIONAL CENTRE FOR ADVANCED STUDIES - PROPOSED STRUCTURE TO SUPPORT SOLUTIONS ON ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES

摘要

The Strategy for the Danube region, presently developed by the Danube countries under the guidance of the European Commission, focuses on 4 pillars (connectivity, protecting the environment, building prosperity and strengthening the Danube region). Within the strategy frame the major aims are to implement an integrative policy in the region and to enhance cross-border cooperation as a way to achieve the EU overarching goal of sustainability (COM 400, 2009). Reaching the peak at the beginning of 2000, since in June 2011 the European Commission adopted the mentioned Strategy for the Danube region, the Danube river and its related issues were a matter of concern in the last centuries. The present notes are addressing the objective of creating a new structure able to support the regional efforts in the Danube Strategy implementation.
