The assessment results will be made public within 30 days at the most. The General Prosecutor\u2019s Office announced it concluded in December 2016 two cooperation protocols with the Romanian Intelligence Service which were in force only for 3 months. One of them, which was made public, set the conditions for access to the technical systems belonging to the National Centre for Interception of Communications, while the other, which was classified, was related to cooperation regarding crimes against national security, terrorism as well as crimes made by the military staff within the Intelligence Service. The head of the Romanian Intelligence Service Eduard Hellvig said Friday that no such cooperation protocol between the Intelligence Service and other state institutions is currently valid. The speaker of the Senate and leader of the Alliance of Liberals and Democrats in the governing coalition Calin Popescu Tariceanu said that the news related to the two protocols between SRI and the General Prosecutors\u2019 Office, even if officially denounced, was further proof of the SRI\u2019s attempt to subordinate justice and violate the rights and freedoms of Romanians. The leaders of the governing coalition have repeatedly denounced the existence of secret connections between SRI and prosecutors.<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Moody\u2019s<\/strong> &#8212; Moody\u2019s Rating Agency maintained the BBB-\/A-3 rating for Romania\u2019s government debt on long and short term, in hard and local currency, reconfirming the country\u2019s stable outlook, the Finance Ministry officials announced in a communiqu\u00e9 conveyed to AGERPRES news agency. Moody\u2019s rating shows that Romania has a solid economic growth rate that will be maintained in the coming years, and this prospect for growth and the moderate level of public debt are reason enough for investors to trust the Romanian economy, claims the finance minister Eugen Teodorovici. According to the aforementioned source, some of Romania\u2019s strengths underlying Moody\u2019s rating include the country\u2019s robust potential for economic growth on medium term, its moderate fiscal capacity and the moderate exposure to external risks. Moody\u2019s ratings point to an increase, in the next 2 years, in Romania\u2019s real GDP by 4% in 2018 and by 3.5% in 2019.<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Swine fever<\/strong> &#8211; The sanitary veterinarian authorities have confirmed the existence of the African swine fever virus in Romania\u2019s biggest pig farm, the 2nd largest in Europe, located in the southeastern county of Braila. The farm has as many as 140 thousand pigs. All the pigs will be slaughtered starting on Monday. There are three more pig farms in Braila where the virus was confirmed.  The African swine fever spread in counties from the northwest and southeast of Romania, affecting mainly pigs from households and farms. The producers\u2019 associations believe that a state of emergency should be declared in the affected counties, as the companies that invested in the pig farming sector are on the brink of bankruptcy.<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tennis<\/strong> &#8212; The pair made up of the Romanian Horia Tecau and the Dutch Jean Julien Rojer won the ATP doubles in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, the US, a competition offering total prizes worth 700 thousand dollars. They defeated 6-4, 6-2 the pair Jamie Cerretani (USA)\/ Leander Paes (India). The Romanian-Dutch pair is to defend the title at the US Open, the year\u2019s last grand slam tournament that will start on Monday in New York. In the US Open, Romanian Simona Halep, world\u2019s no. 1 player and top seed, will be up against the Estonian Kaia Kanepi in the first round. Another 5 Romanian players will play in the singles. Mihaela Buz\u0103rnescu will first play against the Czech Marketa Vondrousova, Sorana C\u00eerstea will face the American Alison Riske, Irina Begu will be up against another American player, Jennifer Brady, Ana Bogdan will play against the Czech Marie Bouzkova, while Monica Niculescu will be pitted against Israeli Julia Glushko. Marius Copil, the only player in the men\u2019s competition, will be up against Croat Marin Cilic, world\u2019s no. 6 player, in the first round. (translation by L.
