Introduction

This WHITE PAPER is an initiative part of the Project Danube House – regional identity for economic development – funded by the – Bulgaria Cross – Border Cooperation Program 2007 – 2013. The project is implemented by The Foundation for Democracy, Culture and Liberty, Romania and Association of the Danube River Municipalities “Danube”, Bulgaria.

DANUBE HOUSE is a concept, but it is also a concrete reality. DANUBE HOUSE is located in a very nice village, Gradistea – Rasa, Calarasi County from Romania. Why should we set up The DANUBE HOUSE’s headquarter in a village and not in a large and famous town? There are two reasons: a) everybody is eager to have an office in town; these persons do not realize the huge potential of the villages in the next 20 – 30 years; in the Romanian and Bulgarian villages we have a large number of high qualified workers, engineers, economists who lost their jobs from the traditional enterprises they use to work in; these men and women deserve a chance to be reinserted in business at their level of competence and, in the same time, our societies cannot afford to lose so much energy from the working class; it is not honest and it is not smart; b) we launched the INNOVATIVE VILLAGE concept and we are keen to make the idea to become truth both in Bulgaria and Romania. The DANUBE HOUSE NETWORK has a structure with multiple layers: business, research, education, local administration, and media. These are some of the levels of our communities. In our perception, these are very important pillars and based on them it is possible to build our future prosperity.

The Foundation for Democracy, Culture and Liberty, Romania and Association of the Danube River Municipalities “Danube”, Bulgaria have expertise in a large range of fields because we are running four projects in the Romania – Bulgaria Cross – Border Area: EVOLUTION (this is the first strategic project launched by the Program), Socio-economic condition and evaluation of the Romania-Bulgaria Cross-Border Area between 2009 – 2015, Danube Cross-border System for Earthquakes Alert – DACEA, Cooperation in R&D & Innovation for economic and social development in CBC Area Romania – Bulgaria - INNOGATE 21 and Danube House - Regional identity for economic development . We are not running to collect another membership fee. We are staying in front of you with our experience, expertise and goodwill, come out with new ideas for our development, to circulate remarkable initiatives from the local level and to support members of this innovative network to find resources for their projects.

This WHITE PAPER is a direct result of the work of the entire team for the project “Danube House regional identity for economic development”. It comes after the Danube House “Study about regional identity of the Romania-Bulgaria cross-border cooperation area” in order to make known companies from the cross-border area. It is an inventory of the network members, grouped on fields of interest agriculture, industry, high technologies, culture and tradition.

first verses while living with her family in Veliko Tarnovo in 1907–08. She, along with Dora Gabe

Francu’s wine cellar lies at the entrance of Adamclisi village, close to the Tropaeum Traiani Monument, in

Constanta County.

Prominent, it dominates the vineyard from within its midst, where it has been placed.

It is a new, modern building which shelters: the production warehouse; the wine ageing area; the laboratory; the

wine’s tasting area. The wine cellar has been conceived so as to be capable to process the whole quantity of

grapes, harvested from the entire vineyard, of 130 hectares width.

The wine procession technique is based on the gravity principle. The fermentation of the grape must is carefully

surveyed, being kept under low, controlled temperature. For wine ageing purposes, 1200 strong and medium

burnt barriques are available. The barriques are kept down into the cellar, thus having the temperature and the

humidity safely controlled.

Far from the city and away from the crowd, the countryside of Adamclisi managed to remain untouched by

pollution and unaffected by the destructive force of the urban civilization. Every spring, the locust forests nearby

get overgrown with snowdrops, violas, crocus, wild roses and wild peonies. Pheasants, robins, rabbits, foxes, wild

boars and roe deer: they all have found a blissful land here.

It’s a favorable region not only for vine growing, but also for bee keeping, sheep and goat breeding and, newly,

for wind farming.

The very proof of the ecological purity of the region is made by its encompassing within the protected area

called “Nature 2000”, a European ecologic network destined to preserve the natural habitats and the genuine

conditions of life. As a consequence, any harmful activity intentioned to be initiated in the region has been

prevented and, furthermore, fully discouraged. The vineyard benefits to the full from the purity of the

environment and its atmosphere. Meeting halfway the worthwhile preservation efforts, but also aiming to offer a healthy product to its consumers, the Patrician wine has thereby been conceived not only as a noble wine of good quality, but also as an ecologic one, legally certified as such, by the Bio certificate granted by Austria Bio Guarantie.
