Summary/Abstract: The Danube, the second-longest European river, which crosses 14 European states, is of major strategic and economic importance by linking the eastern and central European communities as well as linking these communities to the Middle East by connecting the North Sea and the Black Sea. Despite their differences, the Danube river basin states are European states with similar values and traditions. Thus, united in its diversity, the European Union and Romania should follow their common interests in this area, by setting objectives such as: increasing waterway traffic, dismantling organized contraband, increasing transport capacity, ensuring waterway traffic laws are obeyed, reducing the technology gap between the lower Danube and the Main-Rhine complex, utilizing tourism, customs, fishing and environmental potential in the area and also developing the military capabilities of the region by means of better integration with the waterway transport infrastructure.
