摘要：The EU Strategy for the Danube Region (EUSDR) is a macro-regional strategy adopted by the European Commission in December 2010 and endorsed by the European Council in 2011. The Strategy was jointly developed by the Commission, together with the Danube Region countries and stakeholders, in order to address common challenges together. The Strategy seeks to create synergies and coordination between existing policies and initiatives taking place across the Danube Region. The Priority Area Coordinators (PACs) ensure the implementation of the Action Plan by agreeing on planning, with targets, indicators and timetables, and by making sure there is effective cooperation between project promoters, programmes and funding sources. Goals for the Danube Region are also now being formulated in a coherent and transnational way, thanks to the Strategy. Targets have been set in order to focus and prioritize efforts. The success of the Strategy also relies on better alignment of the various funding sources; this includes the structural and cohesion funds, the pre-accession and neighbourhood policy instruments in non-EU countries, and all other available sources of EU and national funding, including loans and grants. The EU Strategy for the Danube Region should bring unique opportunities for cooperation within the particular countries, institutions, enterprises and help to improve economic and social indicators within the Danube Region.
