1 Symposium Sustainable Mobility and Green Economy in the Danube Region 4th 5th July Ulm/Neu-Ulm

2

3 Opening Words Mayor of Ulm Ivo Gönner Danube has high tourism quality but is used suboptimal Danube as means of transportation is used poorly Water quality is catastrophic / environmental problems e.g. plastic waste accumulates in the Danube Delta; there is still a lot to do Cultures need to be linked, sustainable mobility needs to evolve Conferences should not only develop appeals, but also specific commitments for projects

4 Opening Words European Minister Peter Friedrich Cooperation between the Danube countries has intensified within the framework of the Danube Region Strategy Mobility is a key issue which has bothered the region for decades Intelligent transport systems also help to promote the economic development in the Danube region It is important to bring together the issues of transport and tourism; this should be done at local level All life is encounter The International Danube Festival and symposium offer a good opportunity to meet.

5 Key Note Speech Minister of Infrastructure and Transport Winfried Hermann (1) Goal of the state government of Baden-Württemberg: To be a pioneer region for sustainable mobility 5 steps to reach this goal Improve (transport technology / electric mobility / public transport) Relocate (from road to rail and water) Avoid (avoid unnecessary traffic) Networking (improve transport network) Lead the way (for municipalities)

6 Key Note Speech Minister of Infrastructure and Transport Winfried Hermann (2) Danube region is fragmented = big challenge for transport systems The best continuous way is the bicycle track; besides many problems and no modern transport links Danube as a worth living and sustainable habitat Still many problems and need for improvement

7 Funding possibilites for the Danube Region Host: Prof. Dr. Eckart Stratenschulte Dr. Frank Speier Ministry of Finance and Economy, Baden-Württemberg Prof. Dr. Norbert Höptner Steinbeis Europa Zentrum Matthias Holzner State Ministry, Baden-Württemberg

8 Funding possibilites for the Danube Region It should be possible to combine funding programmes, e.g. INTERREG + Horizon 2020 Double financing is not permitted, however it is reasonable to combine funding programmes So far a combination is not possible Projects should be reasonable; don t submit just because you get money First of all determine what is needed, then make an application Sustainable tourism is eligible, although not primary it can be integrated Project ideas for INTERREG must be concrete

10 Economy, Ecology and Mobility: Tourism development as a model for regional cooperation Host: Prof. Dr. Eckart Stratenschulte Hendrik Wintjen mascontour Daniela Schily GIZ Karla Peijs European Coordinator for the Rhine-Danube Corridor Prof. Gerd Finkbeiner IHK Schwaben, Initiative Magistrale for Europe

11 Economy, Ecology and Mobility: Tourism development as a model for regional cooperation (1) There is not such a thing like sustainable tourism Contradiction between economy and ecology must be lifted Cooperation Competition Co-ompetition Representatives of the countries must be brought together Memorandum of Understanding Necessity: Multimodal expansion of roads Danube as a transport route - but where are the ships? Compared to the Rhine there is hardly shipping on the Danube

12 Economy, Ecology and Mobility: Tourism development as a model for regional cooperation (2) The capacity of rail freight is limited, only 8% of goods can be transported by rail The shipping industry is environmentally friendly and efficient; but in this field there is still much to do in Germany and also in the Danube region Goal: Improving strengths; other regions will also benefit. Regarding the Magistrale there are still gaps; e.g. better coordinated train connections are necessary In the lower part of the Danube there is still much to do, not only the connection Ulm Paris also the connection Ulm Constantia is important Tourism has economic potential at least in rural areas

13 Workshops Discussions, Results, Requests

14 Workshop 1 Sustainable Transport & Tourism along the Danube Agenda: 1) Transdanube: objectives and results (Andreas Friedwagner, verracon) 2) Interactive map danubetour (Stefan Giese, in medias res) 3) Soft mobile tourism offers (Karl Reiner, ÖAR) 4) Vision for sustainable mobility options in the Danube Delta (Teodor Frolu, Mila 23) Hosts: Andreas Friedwagner, verracon Karl Reiner, ÖAR

15 We have discussed the following: 1. Mobility options for the last mile 2. Tourism packages 3. Mobility information and awareness-raising

16 The main results of our discussion are: 1. Gaps are everywhere 2. But there are also many good examples 3. These need to be linked and disseminated 4. Quality standards must be ensured 5. This can only work if the stakeholders work together

17 We raised the following requests: 1. Balance between the number of tourists and the carrying capacity of destinations 2. "Danube Card" 3. Bicycle as an equivalent means of transport 4. Better use of existing means of transport (train, car, etc.)

18 We raised the following requests: What The request is aimed at 1. Bicycle transport - rail services 2. Linking of stakeholder 3. Raising awareness for sustainable mobility 4. Continuous deals along the Danube (Danube trail, Orient Express) 1. Deutsche Bahn, counties 2. Operators of railways, counties 3. All stakeholders; Cities, regions, administrations

19 The most important sentence of the discussion was: "Transdanube made a revolution in the tourism area in the lower Danube"

20 Workshop 2 Transport in the Danube Region The Magistrale for Europe Agenda: 1) "The EU TEN policy and Magistrale for Europe" (Karla Peijs) 2) "Danube Region: state of development and development opportunities" a) The German section (Peter Stöferle) b) The Austrian section (Otto Schwetz) c) Transport connection to the Black Sea Region (Otto Schwetz) 3) "The Southern German technology axis (Prognos-survey) and economic opportunities for the Danube Region (Peter Stöferle) Host: Otto Sälzle, IHK Ulm

21 We have discussed the following: 1. Revision TEN after EU enlargement ("Why is it important that taxpayers in NL, F, D pay for roads in South East Europe?" - Karla Peijs) 2. Multimodal approach - the Danube as a transport route 3. Gaps in the corridor "Rhine-Danube" 4. Prospects east of Budapest

22 The main results of our discussion are: 1. "The view is now from Ulm to the East": Paris Ulm under construction or ready Open projects in Bavaria and Austria Need for action east of Vienna 2. High concentration of technology and innovation in the German section requirement for economic development 3. For transport of goods ports and terminals are needed

23 We raised the following requests: 1. Opening of the "Initiative Magistrale for Europe" to the east 2. Implementation of the TEN-conception in the states 3. Survey: opportunities and potential east of Vienna? (Follow-up Interreg II C)

24 We raised the following requests: What 1. "Magistrale" to the east 2. TEN in National States 3. Opinion: Opportunities? The request is aimed at 1. Initiative "Magistrale" 2. National policies 3. Initiative "Magistrale" in coordination (and money) with EU

25 The most important sentence of the discussion was: "We certainly hope that there are many ripe projects in the drawer" (Karla Peijs on the challenges of financing TENs projects by the EU and by the National States) Strengthening strengths" (Prof. Gerd Finkbeiner to the expand in Germany as a condition for a positive impact on the Danube region)

26 Workshop 3 Green Economy as an Economic Engine for the Danube Region Agenda: Objective: Information and cooperation exchange 1) Presentation of Green Destination Danube study results 2) General discussion Experts: Branislav Miletic, Horwath HTL, expert in tourism and environmental technologies in Serbia Hendrik Wintjen, mascontour Host: Bernd Kleinheyer, Innovation Center University of Belgrade

27 Especially we have discussed about: 1. Cost side of investments for Green Technologies 2. Different perception of environment in the countries (inside & outside perception of a country) 3. Incentive systems to enhance green technology use 4. Need for communication, peer-to-peer networking & awareness building

28 The main results of our discussion are: 1. Micro-level projects are important but do not solve issues, getting from supposed lighthouse projects to influencing political structures, programming and budgeting and spatial planning is crucial 2. For developing environmental standards in tourism, local and regional political decision-making needs to be massively and systematically targeted 3. Systemic approaches in destination building, networking of experience and capabilities and skills 4. Institutionalizing processes and examples, best practise and know-how

29 We have discussed the following: 1. More systematic and coherent publication of models of best practise 2. (Let s) Be more political!

30 The funniest sentence of the discussion was: "I don t want to hear about lighthouse projects any more..."
