As it prepares an EU Strategy for the Danube Region, the European Commission has invited contributions from all interested stakeholders. The churches welcome the opportunity to bring into the process their views and their experiences in cross-border cooperation in the whole Danube region. At the same time, we see this as a contribution to the ―open, transparent and regular dialogue‖ between the Union and the churches as specified in Art 17 of the consolidated Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union.

The Church and Society Commission of the Conference of European Churches (now merged with CEC), the Secretariat of the Commission of the Bishops’ Conferences of the European Community (COMECE), and the Community of Protestant Churches in Europe (CPCE) have prepared a contribution to the public consultation on the EU Strategy for the Danube Region.
