Pro Danube participated in the recently organised 4th Advisory Committee Meeting of the CEF co-funded project Preparing FAIRway 2 works in the Rhine-Danube Corridor. The aim of this project, jointly implemented by Austria, Croatia, and Serbia, is to bring the Danube waterway infrastructure forward, in an efficient, sustainable, and user-friendly manner.
Pro Danube was represented by its Chairman, Herfried Leitner, and General Secretary, Róbert Rafael, who highlighted the importance of integrating environmental considerations with the primary objective of improving transport solutions. While it is essential to account for flora, fauna, biodiversity, and nature protection, the emphasis must remain on finding effective solutions for transport tasks while respecting environmental aspects. Róbert's intervention underscored the necessity for innovative approaches that harmonise environmental and economic priorities.
