Abstract

Danubius   -   Border  or river of Integration.

Since the time of the Roman Empire the Dunai has been the most important European River.
Today she is the “European River”. “Die Donau” flows through ten countries, six member states, 2 Applicant Countries and 2 Neighbourhood Countries. Her river basin includes five more countries.

Over the past 50 years the Danube washed away the border of the European Union from Bavaria to the Black Sea and drowned the Iron Curtain and has become a river of hope.
The Working Association of Danube Regions (WADR), founded 1990, the Danube Cooperation Process (DCP), founded 2002, and the European Danube Strategy  (2009) cover the Danube basin and support European Integration even beyond the European Union. The DonauHanse, a Vision of the WADR, supports this process on urban and operative level. They and others act in European cohesion.

But which are the main indicators of European integration:
-    From citizens’ point of view only the last two of the five steps “Schengen” and “Euro”?
-    From entrepreneur’s one the internal market and the Euro?
-    From political point of view the applicant status and member ship in EU?
-    From university one the full participation in RTD programmes? This leaves one question: are we already integrated Citoyen Européen?
