This document compiles and contextualizes the outcomes of multifaceted consultations. As it stems from the actors directly concerned with steering and implementing the EUSDR, it constitutes the primary basis for the revised Action Plan, which is to be elaborated by the European Commission / DG Regio until autumn 2019. The document consists of two parts: Part A of this document describes the envisaged strategic and operational framework for of the revised Action Plan (scope and description of the revision process, results and recommendations of the Operational Evaluation, thematic orientation of the EUSDR, governance and interplay with funding facilities). Part B then transfers “words into action” and demonstrates envisaged future foci at Priority Area level (targets, actions, strategic projects / activities). 3/103 Revision of the EUSDR Action Plan: Consolidated Input Document of the Danube Countries (5th June 2019) PART A: 1. Scope of the Revision Process of the EUSDR Action Plan 1.1. EUSDR History In 2008, the Prime Ministers of Austria and Romania introduced the idea of creating a strategy for the Danube Region in a letter to the President of the European Commission, José Manuel Barroso. The actual start of EUSDR is 19th June 2009, when the European Council requested the European Commission to prepare a European Union Strategy for the Danube Region before the end of 2010 (Scoping Paper for the public consultation 2010). On 8th December 2010, the European Commission adopted two main documents: the Communication to the European Parliament, the Council, the European Economic and Social Committee and the Committee of the Regions (COM(2010) 715), and an accompanying Action Plan (SEC(2010)1489/3), a Commission Staff Working Document which complements the Communication. The Communication (COM(2010) 715) describes the challenges and opportunities of the Danube Region, recommends an integrated approach, proposes the Action Plan (AP) (SEC(2010) 1489/3) and asks for a strong commitment from the participating countries and stakeholders. In the Communication, 4 Pillars and 12 Priority Areas (PAs) are listed. The Action Plan facilitates the transfer from ‘words to actions’ by identifying concrete actions for each of the 12 Priority Areas. On 13th April 2011, the European Council endorsed the Council Conclusions on EUSDR (3083rd GENERAL AFFAIRS Council meeting) thanks to the efforts of Hungary during its EU Presidency. The Action Plan states that each Priority Area allocates the coordination to a Priority Area Coordinator (PAC). The Danube Region countries established for each of the 12 Priority Areas 2 Priority Area Coordinators from different countries. A Steering Group as board consisting of representatives of the Danube Region countries accompanies each of the Priority Areas. In 2012, each Priority Area specifies actions to tasks and summarizes them to their Priority Areas’ Targets and Actions adopted by their Steering Groups. In May 2016 a new/updated set of targets per Priority Areas was validated by the National Coordinators (NCs) and Priority Area Coordinators at a joint meeting held in Bratislava (Slovakia). For enhancing the coordinative capacity, the Danube Strategy Point (DSP) was established in 2015. The DSP implemented communication tools and helped to harmonize activities and reporting of PACs. The work of DSP stopped in 2017 and was re-established and re-organized in autumn 2018 as supportive body for all actors of EUSDR. Both acting bodies, the PACs and DSP are funded by the Danube Transnational Programme (DTP), which facilitates the necessary organizational structure for EUSDR activities, thus acting in the framework of transnational projects. Another tool for enhancing cooperation, which also offers the opportunity for exchanging important thematic issues are the Annual Fora (AF), organized by the respective year’s Presidency of EUSDR. Usually the Annual Fora are a market place for ideas and important events e.g. for political conferences. 4/103 Revision of the EUSDR Action Plan: Consolidated Input Document of the Danube Countries (5th June 2019) 1.2. The Reasons for revising the Action Plan The EUSDR Action Plan was designed to remain stable for a certain period. However, over the years, the priorities evolved and hence, some of the actions and projects became outdated. Therefore, as the valid Action Plan states “actions and projects may be

  • Lexikální (Mikro)Dialektologie Užské Romštiny*
    | Michael Beníšek1 Lexikální (mikro)dialektologie užské romštiny* Lexical (micro-)dialectology of Uzh Romani Abstract This article is a dialectological study of the vocabulary of local Romani varieties that are spoken in the territory of the former Uzh County in the present-day Slovak– Ukrainian borderland. Uzh Romani is presented as a heterogeneous dialect area consisting of two regions: the Western Uzh region in Slovakia and the Eastern Uzh region in Ukraine. The study shows that the whole area is lexically part of a dialect continuum of North Central Romani and specifically of its eastern macro-area, while it is also characterised by dialect-specific features. The main focus of the article is a description of the lexical variability within the Uzh area. The study argues that the major differences between the Western Uzh and Eastern Uzh regions are due to the influence of different contact languages on both sides of the border. Moreover, we can observe that the Eastern Uzh region is lexically more conservative than the Western Uzh region, although there are some lexically conservative varieties even in the Western Uzh region. Furthermore, the article discusses the lexical variation within both regions and mentions examples of isoglosses that cross the national border. By considering lexical archaisms, the study also addresses the dynamics of the vocabulary and gives examples of inherited words that have become either locally or generally obsolete or even extinct. Key words dialectology, language contact, lexicology, North Central Romani, Romani, Slovak-Ukrainian borderland, Uzh dialect area Jak citovat Beníšek, M. 2020.

  • Water Developments and Their Impact on Runoff in the Upper Tisa Catchment
    Water developments and their impact on runoff in the Upper Tisa catchment Károly Konecsny The 157 200 km2 large catchment of the River Tisa1 is situated in the eastern part of the Carpathian Basin, also known as the Central Danube Basin. The upper catchment down to the village Záhony is 32 782, that down to Tokaj 49 449 km2 large. The origin of the name Tisa is still unclear, some linguists trace it back to an Indo European root supposed to mean muddy, or silty. In Roman documents the river is mentioned under the names Parsiou, Pthirus, Tigas and Tisianus, while in the mediaeval Latin chronicles in the forms Tisia and Tysia. Keywords: hydrology, Upper Tisa, Carpathian Basin The Upper Tisa and her tributaries in the Ukraine The headwaters of the Tisa are in the Maramuresh Alpine Mountains, the name Tisa is used downstream of the confluence of the Chorna Tisa and Bila Tisa. Of her 962 km total length, the mountain section is only 200 km long. From the confluence of the Chorna Tisa and the Bila Tisa down to the mouth of the Vi§eu the average slope of the valley floor is very steep, 6.33 m/km, between the Vi§eu and the Tereblja 2.28 m/km, flattening down to Tiszabecs to less than l m/km. Over the mountain section the valley is narrow, the river having carved her up to 50 m wide bed between steep banks. The normal depth is a few decimetres. Beyond her emergence into the plains at Hust the Tisa becomes a typically lowland river meandering in a spreading valley.

  • Construction of Csorna Bypass Section, Motor Road M86-M85
    Transport Study for the Danube Macro-Region – Annex II of the Final Report Construction of Csorna bypass section, motor road M86-M85 General information This project regards the construction of the second stage of the Csorna bypass, which is part of the development project of road M85. The road M85 Győr-Csorna-Nagycenk is the East-West axis of the Győr-Moson-Sopron County and crosses the road M86 Rédics-Szombathely-Rajka in the town of Csorna (see Figure 4-1). Figure 4-1: Localisation of the Csorna bypass Source: Ministry of National Development (2017) The objectives of this project are presented in general terms. It is expected that, once completed, the Csorna bypass could generate benefits in terms of: time savings, safety levels, environmental impact and vehicle operating costs. The project could improve the accessibility of the region enhancing the mobility of both passengers and freight. As regards its relevance, the project is in line with the EU transport policy, the National Transport Development Strategy of Hungary and with the National Land Use Framework Plan. The project promoter is the National Infrastructure Developing Private Company Limited (i.e., NIF), the rail and road infrastructure manager of Hungary.
