European Cooperation Day 2015 - Commissioner Crețu visits Vienna and Wolfsthal
August 18, 2015
On September 21, 2015, the European Cooperation Day, EU Commissioner for Regional Policy Corina Crețu visited two cross-border projects in Eastern Austria.
Commissioner Crețu was joined by State Secretary Sonja Steßl on her first stop at the project SEDDON (SEDiment research and -management at the Danube River), where she was invited to initiate the flooding of a channel between the river Danube and the Danube Channel which the project recently constructed for research purposes at the press of a button. Afterwards, Commissioner Crețu went to see the kindergarten in the Austrian town Wolfsthal close to the Slovakian border, where she was welcomed by Pavol Frešo, the governor of Bratislava, Barbara Schwarz, member of the province government, and Mayor Gerhard Schödinger, as well as by the kindergarten's children, 70% of whom are Slovakian. There, in the past years the project IB-KSP implemented lively exchange visits with kindergartens in Slovakia and playful language learning in accordance with specifically designed teaching materials.
Herself having experienced borders as barriers in her childhood, Crețu chose this day to launch a EU-wide public consultation on the topic 'Overcoming obstacles in border regions', which all citizens are invited to participate in. The consultation's objective is to distinguish remaining obstacles that need to be removed in order to make everyday life and living together as free of trouble –and barriers– as possible.
