 Well, first of all, let me just tell you how pleased I am to be here. It's really an honor to be part of this process. It's not that long ago that the OECD released a report that showed illicit trade was growing rapidly worldwide across multiple sectors, and they also showed that this was happening increasingly through illicit trade in small parcels. This is exactly what's happening here at the UPU is looking at how illicit trade goes to the small parcels, and what's impressive is how swiftly the UPU has responded to this problem. I mean, starting with the Postal Security Group prioritizing this as a problem on their agenda was just a couple of meetings ago that they started this. The secretariat reached out to your global network of postal services, trying to learn from them, you know, where the problems were, where they could use some help to the creation of an expert team, and then today the signing of an MOU with the private sector drawing on our expertise, so it's really been an exciting journey. I'm glad to be here, and it's very impressive how swiftly the UPU has acted on this. Well, let me start with explaining what trace it means. That's the Transnational Alliance to Combat Illicit Trade. And our mission is to do exactly that, combat illicit trade, where private sector and non-profit organization, our mission is to do whatever we can do to help mitigate the trade of illicit products across, you know, a dozen different sectors from falsified pharmaceuticals to harmful counterfeits to pesticides to food fraud. We try to look at the, you know, the whole spectrum of things. So the way we go about fighting illicit trade is somewhat unique. We address it across multiple sectors, and we're looking at the commonalities. That's what's unique about trace it is that we address illicit trade and I try to identify the commonalities. Now one of those commonalities is where illicit traders from different sectors might exploit the global supply chain. So you might imagine maritime container shipping is abused and exploited by illicit traders for all different types of the illegal products. Same thing for e-commerce websites that are used to sell products, which brings us to the UPU. The Postal Service Express carriage of small parcels is increasingly exploited by criminals to transport and distribute illicit trade. That's exactly what brings us here is to collaborate with you and see if we can strengthen that part of the supply chain, see if we can close the gaps and eliminate some of the weaknesses. Well there's one primary synergy and that is we're both committed to improving security and in this case we're looking ways that we can eliminate vulnerabilities in the global postal supply chain. So we're a private sector organization. We bring to the table our expertise, information that's available from the companies that are conducting business in this area. You're a public sector organization made up of postal services from around the world. Your objectives are to do what you can do to improve security and safety in that system and together we're tackling this problem. Well you know the global postal network isn't involved in illicit trade as much as it's a victim of illicit trade. It's being exploited by criminals that are trying to purposely discover weaknesses in a postal system throughout the world. I think a point that I really want to make is that addressing illicit trade is not new for the UPU. It's not new for the postal security group. In fact this is something that the postal security group has been concentrating on for a long time. I think what's new is that we're deepening the UPU's focus on a wider scope of illicit trade, different products illicit trade beyond narcotics or arms or bomb in the box for example. So that's why this project is so important is that the UPU is doubling down and addressing the problem in a much more sophisticated strategic way. The MOU is really a starting point for us. It's a way for two different organizations to collaborate on their common objective. In this case it's fighting illicit trade. It's mitigating the abuse of the global postal system by criminals. Now the strength of an MOU is that it brings the public sector and the private sector together. This is one of the strongest tenants of the UN Sustainable Development Goals for example. In fact when I look at signing the MOU I feel like we are doing the best we can do to implement SDG 17 which is all about the private sector and the public sector collaborating toward the achievement of the SDGs.
