"Mr President, the Danube Basin offers great opportunities for cross-border cooperation between countries through whose territory this European river flows. The Danube is also a major waterway that allows the transport of goods from the Black Sea to Germany. From an economic perspective, shipping is the most advantageous mode of transport, suitable especially for the transport of goods. An improvement of navigation parameters on the Danube by increasing and stabilising the water level would allow ships with a greater displacement to sail deeper into the European mainland.
Expansion of the waterway transport capacity will also generate new employment opportunities along the entire length of the watercourse, and therefore I believe the Commission initiatives in this area should be supported. An emphasis on environmental protection in the expected construction investments must be an integral part of their assessment, however. We therefore need to assess the economic and development potential of the Danube with both pragmatism and great sensitivity."@en1
