 I'd like to start by thanking UNECE, the co-organizers of this event, as well as our generous sponsors, Eriksen, and the European Association of Automative Suppliers, CLEPA. So 10 years ago, as I said, I had the pleasure to deliver the opening remarks for the very first edition of this event. I think that 2012 is the wrong year, as quoted by my colleague Reinhardt, and 2002 is not the correct neither. I think it's 2005, not 2002. If you talk about 10 years, we really have to calculate it, so the IT is not very strong in mathematics. Also, we are very strong in study. But anyway, it's true that I delivered the opening remarks for the very first edition of this event. I found memories of that symposium, and I'd like to take this opportunity to thank the organizers of the Geneva Motor Show for the continuous support they have offered us over the last 10 years. So ladies and gentlemen, this year, ITU is celebrating its 150th anniversary. This is a tribute to the extraordinary innovation of the global ICT community over the past a century and a half, and the crucial role that ITU has played in being an impartial and a neutral platform for bringing all stakeholders together. Our 150th anniversary will be a celebration of past achievements, as well as an opportunity to look forward to see how we can best position ourselves to serve the future development of the ICT ecosystem. The ICT ecosystem is always good in scale and complexity, compounded by the accelerating convergence of technologies and industry sectors. Intelligent transport systems, ITS, provide an excellent case study of convergence, and in particular the challenges related to coordinating this convergence. The ICT and automotive sectors are both enormous industries that have to a large degree developed independently. The technologies employed by the two sectors are converging, but mechanisms to coordinate the various elements of this convergence have not developed at the same pace. So that is the purpose of this symposium to open lines of communication, offering a platform for discussion on how the ICT and automotive sectors can better coordinate their contributions to the era of connected route transportation. Efficient collaboration will be essential in realizing the potential of ITS to improve route safety, reduce emissions, and increase the mobility of elderly and persons with disabilities. Today, however, ITS technology is raising a height of supporting standardization activity and regulatory reform, and it remains a significant challenge to engage the immediate relevant players in an impartial standardization effort. ITS is a unique public-private partnership that has been successful in providing an open, neutral platform to build consensus on the policy and the technical considerations, crucial to the development of the ICT ecosystem. ITU standards already provide specification for radio communication between cars and infrastructure, and the standards to reduce driver destruction are under development. But I have to be fair that I got some statistics that ICT may also increase the dangers of risk because people now try to communicate by mobile more from why they are driving. I heard a recent report from US statistics that this accident caused by this competition if it's not a number, it's number two of the cause of route accidents. So that one we have to also to take serious measures to work on those potential risk areas. Furthermore, our location dedicated spectrum to ITS is the subject to a proposal on the agenda of this year's World Radio Communication Conference, WRC 15, which will be taking place in Geneva during November the 4th month. But of course here, I think that it's not compared with some other transport industries like aviation. I think that our route to transport is not as terrible as aviation because this year we were concentrating on the plane tracing topics because last year several airplanes lost and still weren't playing and not found yet. So that is a big concern of everybody. Luckily, we do not have similar problems in our car transport that if a car has accident we can always find a car. But the airplane disappeared and one day airplane we still did not have any chance to understand where they are. There is no hint. So this is a big concern and we will look at that issue. And hopefully, you know, car transportation will not go to that point. But anyway, still, you know, that spectrum used for car route transportations will be somehow to some degree linked with this spectrum requirement from transportation systems. So these are activities that will take under the auspices of the ICT industry and the challenge today is to determine how the separate requirements of the automotive industry can also be accommodated. ICT automotive convergence addresses a number of complex questions around road safety and data ownership and protection, not to mention the uncertainty surrounding insurance liability in the case of accident involving automatic driving. Again, something similar. So at WRC 15 this year in November we will talk about spectrum requested by unmanned aircraft traffic. As you know, we are also talking about unmanned route transport so that we may not have a driver or we have a driver just to talk to people by mobile phone but leave the machine to drive the car. So anyway, that is some kind of potential development we might have to look at it as well. That is unmanned driving transport on route. So car makers expected to have highly automated driving on the route by 2020 but that would depend on enabling regulations that has yet to emerge such as the nature of the rear water of ICTs which advances with such speak and intensity that the standardization and the regulation often fall a few steps behind. So one advantage here is that we have anticipated this need for collaboration. ITU has a productive relationship with the ANECG World Forum for the harmonization of vehicle regulations and together we have enabled constructive dialogue between our communities. We recognize that there is still much to be done but we are very appreciative of this partnership which I believe put us in a strong position to support the intersection of automobiles and ICTs. So let me therefore conclude my short remark by thanking the participants here for your support of ITU's work in this arena. It is thanks to you that we can all look forward to the future networked car.
