The Romanian Foreign Ministry has been informed that the US administration has decided to adjust the missile-defense system in Europe by renouncing some interceptor missiles. On the other hand, the US will develop missile-defense measures to be implemented on the US soil, due to the threat posed by North Korea. The US officials say that this decision does not affect the missile program in Romania. The Romanian Foreign Ministry and the Romanian Defence Ministry have announced that the missile defense project in Romania will be rendered operational with no delays. Ground interceptors will be installed in Deveselu, in southern Romania, which are due to become operational in 2015. The agreement regarding the deployment in Romania of elements of the US missile-defense shield was signed on September 13th 2011 in Washington, during Romanian President Traian Basecu’s visit there.

Another section is called the Teenage Novel, including films that describe the growing up of some French and American youth.
