". The Danube and its tributaries form one of the most important water systems in Europe. The Danube has played a crucial role in the political, socio-economic and cultural development of central and south-eastern Europe. It is the most international river basin in the world, covering 817 000 km a third of Europe, and crossing 18 countries. The Danube is overwhelmingly important for Europe’s biodiversity. The Danube Delta is home to more than 5 200 species of flora and fauna. However, the river and its wildlife have suffered considerable losses, especially over the last century. At present, the Danube basin covers just 20 % of the area which was originally covered by water, only half of which still has natural characteristics in the true sense of the word. Many areas are polluted, and defective sewerage systems and buildings have increased the risk of flooding and exacerbated the problems caused by pollution. In view of the above, I believe that an EU Strategy for the Danube Region is necessary."@en1
