lpv:translated text	"This area brings together 14 countries, 6 of which are EU Member States. Covering one fifth of EU territory, the Danube region’s wellbeing is inextricably linked to that of the Union as a whole. Many of the region’s problems know no borders, and these all demand a united approach. I am convinced that the economic disparities and under-investment in infrastructure need to be addressed. The fact that migration, climate change and security can have a particularly intense impact in the area owing to the region’s political and geographical characteristics should also not be overlooked. Environmental issues are particularly pressing for both reasons of biodiversity and to protect cultural heritage. It is important to embrace the Danube Strategy as a problem that addresses a priority. It represents the solution presented by people living in the region for people living in the region. There are four priorities: connecting the Danube region, protecting the environment in the Danube region, building prosperity in the Danube region, and strengthening the Danube region. The strategy was established as the second EU macro-regional approach, and is similar to the strategy for the Baltic Sea region. I am convinced that this strategy presents an opportunity to implement a long-term recovery programme for the Danube region and the more efficient exploitation of the potential of the Danube countries. Through appropriate partnership and cooperation with the countries of this area it is possible to strive to improve people’s lives, and to increase their social security and cohesion. Equally important is the support for cross-border cooperation and the removal of barriers to bringing the people and countries of the Danube region closer together."@en1
