Camille Grand highlighted the importance of the capability as a landmark in the trans-Atlantic connection and an excellent example provided by NATO in terms of adapting to the new challenges. The delegation stated once more the defensive nature of the system hosted by Romania that is meant to counter threats posed by ballistic missiles from outside the Euro-Atlantic region.
