14 years ago, on the 29th June 1994, the
Danube River Protection Convention was signed in order to address these
problems. The high hopes held at the signing ceremony were realistic:
cooperation between governmental and non-governmental bodies (NGOs), scientific
institutions and industry has steadily increased. The work has been so
