 The citizens have taken very bad positions, and they did everything so, which in the first of it looked to us as an agricultural cellar. They always told us on time when of the young, that when you come to the age of the world we know, as it is, in a great age, and speak darkness outside there, and you need to move forward. You have only this uncertainty and pitch darkness. You are forced to take a leap of faith. When you take that leap of faith and you jump, the same two things happens. Either you find a found ground upon which you put your feet on, alternatively you grow wings and you start to fly. Your excellence is as your Director General of the Universal Postal Union, and my Deputy Director General of the entire IB Minor TV. As the responsible people you have entrusted with the responsibility to maintain the integrity and the credibility of this union during the last two cycles, the confidence you have given us when we elected us here, the trust and respect you have given us to protect and withhold the dignity of this organization, it be felt upon us as a responsibility to ensure that this organization remains together as one solid entity. It's quite our difference. I've said this many times, this organization will be challenged many, many, many times in the past 100 or 5 years. Your excellence will survive through our laws and many depressions and many challenges, particularly in emissions and technologies that threaten the unity. But we are surviving every time because men like yourselves and women like yourselves have sat down and changed the course of history of this organization. And today as you sit here in this hall that is the responsibility that's what you showed. Your excellence is when we have seen the divide between the other countries. I took a bit more faking. I am called for its course. We took the decision to call for this as the honorary session of the Congress, which was welcome for us because I believe that matter of this nature, of this sensitivity to be decided in different parts of the world on a ballot was not the best way to deal with this happen. But you took the right decision to hold for its glory and progress and be prepared for that and that's why you are here today. And I want to thank you for that decision. Your excellence is when we saw the challenge, the leap of faith that took us to call for what is called the good office of the directed general conservative group. It's not that when we chose the 34 countries that came here for Sunday and Monday, it's not that the other member countries were not important, but we couldn't get the only two people in a small hotel called Bobby Hotel. So I have just to get a representative of the member countries, specifically those ones that were driving these options and once called the conservative group that was dealing with this subject in the past. We were also very careful with selectors from all the different regions so that the regular representation was taken into consideration. We are big countries, we are small countries. And of course we went into action for two days. The whole of Sunday we went late into the night and on Monday we worked very hard to drive a compromise position. I want to say that at the end of that exercise, we came very close to a proposition or a proposal which in our view, if we have reached then we will not have had the necessity to hold this meeting we have come to here and by acclimation we have given us your support because we feel that all the interest of the member countries were taken into consideration. One of the paramount principles that we have adopted during that session is that whereas we may not be able to satisfy everybody's needs or every position held here, the needs of us athletes, we do not want people to go back from this session empty-handed or half of the world happy and rest of half of the world disappointed. Therefore in that spirit we worked very hard and really what we knew, what we felt was that option C was where the solution was going to be. And we developed a proposal. We came this close to be able to reach that ultimate option we call the battery option. However, we were not able to achieve that and therefore it became necessary for us to come here and seek the advice of this country. Yesterday I said this, when I sat in this home and I was sitting in this very spot and I looked at them all of you here and when option B was put in front of the boat I was holding my breath. I was praying silently here. But if that option had gone through I knew half of this member countries here would go back very strongly. The wisdom of this council yesterday dictated that we have today and a possibility to have a look at the option which we looked at we could not come to a conclusion but again you give us another opportunity for us to reflect on these things. And from last night I can tell you we have had a very long session none of my members since the last night after 2-3 in the morning I think we were still away trying to get the views of member countries put them together and walk our compromise. So yesterday it allowed me to say that at the end of a very very long night it became necessary this morning when we came to the Bureau of Congress to request the chairman of the Congress to allow us at least 2 more hours that is between 9 o'clock to 11 o'clock but we realized that we still needed a look of constitutional vegetation to be done this morning to really close at the gap between what we have found. So in essence what I can tell you the essence is that as I speak to you now I am very motivated I am very hopeful that we may have achieved the victory that all of us brought us together again a victory which will not allow any one member of our member countries to leave our union a victory where all the citizens of this planet who are listening to us today who are looking at this call who are looking at us for a decision to see how this union is going to go the 54 world of citizens we have it very close at hand that's only if and if this other assembly here will be able to agree with what we have come up with so Mr. Chairman without taking anything from option C which you have on the program on the process that which is already there which you can fall back on I want to request you all of you to allow me to be able to present the views we have gathered this morning and option or compromise which we have presented before you discuss this thing you can always come back to this we are going to present so may I have another request to you to give you permission to be able to do that by affirmation if possible if you have senses I would now like to give you floor to the Deputy Director General Mr. Pascal Kibok a man I have a lot of respect for a co-pilot someone I have never told you this I have to say this forever it was in Latin America in Costa Rica about 3-4 weeks ago when we met there and we saw what was going on that myself and the Deputy Director General said one evening and said look our member countries have done the best they can the calling is upon me and him to decide what we are going to do with this union and to start the process so the process you see here today actually we took the decision to call for this meeting when we were in Costa Rica and I gave him the responsibility and the money almost to the tyre team to come up with a different option completely different from everything else that member countries have done just in case they are not able to agree and therefore from that time onward this man sitting on my right I can tell you of course the tyre team have worked long and hard to come up with this process so I want to give you the floor Mr Pascal Prima, co-pilot please take the components and deliver these two modules to the member countries thank you very much so I repeat and after the institutional reform that we have experienced at Istanbul the objective today is to live the reform of the termination or the reform of remuneration and so I will therefore ask you instantly because it is the condition of success to listen to this proposal and to change nothing to the content of this proposal because once again the certainty is possible if an element is not a possibility to do cherry picking if one of the elements falls the risk is that everything falls so this option goes for victory as the name of our general secretary and first yours it is not that of the international current we have worked as the general secretary said for 11 months day night including the last with the spirits with people of good will with technicians with the international current I thank all the directors in particular Siva who is the director in charge the director of regulation of the markets but also the director Boussetta in post operation the director of development Mr. Rudi Quadra the director of legal affairs because without them we can do nothing every time we change something we have to make sure that all the mechanics of the plane works as the general director said our objective is to land in security this time it is at the airport of Geneva so we will try to do it this is a place that inspires because it is also the place of synthesis and so we have very slowly these days we are forced to gather gather and still gather and so what we want is that a united family who should blow the 9 octaves next the 145 bougies of the boat the UPU is a place of possibilities because each one and each one in this last phase of grandeur each and every one we are proof of grandeur of the sense of responsibility so we know it is not the perfect agreement but that's how it feels so in synthesis as the general secretary said we have started by a consultation of 34 member countries that we had estimated to be the best placed to work in this synthesis we used the different level of economic development we have developed the different energy we have used those who could in another sense the best to work on these synthesis around the three options option A option B and option C so we have asked these people to join us it was at the Warwick hotel we did Saturday Sunday and Monday morning we have a lot of consultations with a certain number of you they recognize themselves in this room I thank them each one and each one have had the wisdom of their synthesis our objective the single and united was to maintain the integrity of the universal postal union these things must be discussed in the universal postal union there are no multilateral the single multilateralism can have a response to this kind of problem so we have taken a certain number of initiatives we have worked first with a method to introduce parameters to introduce non-contentive parameters to ensure that at the start and on the basis of the option C which seemed to be that of the synthesis in a way and never forget the points in these parameters we have advanced so and as the general secretary said Sunday and Monday we had rather the gray line it was not the result we were expecting but we entered this room also full of confidence because the 40 hours that were discussed during this reflection were all useful the night passed to come back to the places where it was possible to exist so we also used your reflections yesterday afternoon a certain number of things that inspired us in the case of negotiation and this morning the general secretary the international community at the request of a certain country we wanted that this strategy to be done we have re-consulted this morning on the meteorological points the parameters and others and so now in order not to commit any wrong technique during this presentation I asked my friend to come with you each one of the points that was at the base of this proposition once again it is not the best possible proposition it is the one that sums up all the possibilities we worked in an integrated way we wanted to integrate all the possible parameters and once again it is a single and unique proposition we did not start to play on the parameters so I give you the floor for the next and the technical presentation thank you Deputy Secretary General good afternoon ladies and gentlemen as the Deputy Secretary General has mentioned what I will present over the next few minutes is what constitutes option B which represents a compromise package that we've tried to build in terms of the various interests that former countries have
