TARGETS

The Communication on European Union Strategy for the Danube Region (Document COM(2010) 715, 8 December 2010) features three exemplary targets for EUSDR Pillar 1 (Connecting the Danube Region) which are of relevance for EUSDR Priority Area 1b: To improve mobility and multimodality-road, rail and air links.

 

The Priority Area 1b Steering Group amended these three exemplary targets in the first half of 2016 so that the final wordings of targets for EUSDR Priority Area 1b are as follows:

 

I. Support efficient freight railway services and improved travel times for competitive railway passenger connections between major cities in the Danube Region by 2030.
II. Support fully functional multi-modal TEN-T Core Network Corridors by 2030.
III. Support the development of efficient multimodal terminals at sea, river and dry ports in the Danube Region and ensure their connectivity and access through the integration of all modes of transport and efficient logistics services by 2030.
IV. Support improvement of the regional air connectivity and the implementation of the Single European Sky initiative.
V. Facilitate the improvement of secondary and tertiary roads in the Danube Region.
VI. Support safe and sustainable transport and mobility in the Danube Region.

 

Above targets would be reflected by below drafted subject matters to be covered by revised and new actions:
