 You have just heard that this afternoon and our Chairman's leadership, WRC-15, approved a very important spectrum for flight-checking systems. This is something that the global family is waiting for a long time. You might have also noted during my intervention this afternoon that I choose a conference that has its own procedures and normally it will take some four years that if we have this issues to be discussed by global family, we have to put that on the agenda of the conference and then submit to the conference itself approval. And the time between we set up on the agenda of the conference to the time we really discussed that normally for four years, we had some difficulties when we heard this tragic incident that Malaysia airline MH370 disappeared March 8, 2014 and then the Minister of Malaysia asked ITU to do something to help and then that is already quite late for us to put this on the agenda of our radio conference. However, our members understand the urgency of this issue. They worked very hard to encourage ITU to include this on the agenda to be discussed at this conference, 2015. And we were lucky that last year we did have our plane application conference of ITU which was held in Busan, Korea, October, November and that conference is the highest organ of ITU so that the members all unanimously agreed that we should invite this WRC-15 to add this item on the agenda and to have urgent study. Of course we will not wait until the conference that our experts of industry and administrations come together over the last 12 months and worked intensively to try to find a solution. And ITU R is my colleague Francois Lonsi as the director of radio communication bureau and it's his bureau and his sector who mainly work on the spectrum issue. In a study of four and a study of five of his bureau worked very hard over the last few months and made some suggestions and of course whether that suggestion will be accepted or not depends on the decision of this WRC-15. And fortunately our chairman kept us a lot and he himself when he was nominated as a chairman of conference by informally, informally at the CPL meeting in March this year and he wasted no time to work with our member states, with our industries to encourage them to find a solution at this WRC-15 because the industry will benefit from this decision to make their systems well as soon as they can have the spectrum fixed and the global families, particular aviation families, industries would like to have this one also fixed earlier so that they can make any technical improvement of their system based on this spectrum agreed by our conference. So we worked very hard over the last ten months after we got instruction from a plane and potential conference and we are very pleased this afternoon we have this request of this additional, a new spectrum for flight tracking system would be agreed. So I'm not an expert, we have two experts here. My colleague François Rancy who is a real expert for spectrum issues over the last two decades and he could provide you much more detailed information and of course our chairman of the conference Mr. Doudou can provide you some other information on how we work together to have this agreement reached this afternoon. So without losing too much of your time let me give you some information. Yes today is a remarkable day at ITU at this present WRC-15 the decision on the global flight tracking is a remarkable one because this alone will send a strong signal to the entire global community that ITU is an organization that is responsive to the yearning of the global community. The disappearance of the Malaysian airline could have been any one of us there on board and the importance that the ITU and the entire conference attached to this issue cannot be overemphasized and I believe that today's decision at the WRC will go a long way in projecting ITU as an organization that is ready at any time to respond to any emergency issue. We consider this particular global flight tracking as an emergency issue and so without any waste of time we've been able to discuss, deliberate and agree on a way forward. I know the discussions were not easy but we had to go into what we call a kind of consultation to arrive at an agreeable decision which everyone is aware of the decision that the WRC just took this afternoon and I will hand you over to the director of BR who will go into the technicality of the entire process and I believe that with this particular decision now our aviation industry will witness a kind of improved safety measures with respect to flight tracking on real time all over the globe. Before aircrafts flying through the Arctic region could not be tracked the pilots were on their own but with this decision now it will be possible to track every aircraft anywhere via satellite within the globe and so I will request the director to further elaborate on the technicality of this particular decision that the WRC 15 have taken under my leadership. Thank you. Thank you. Yes in practice what the decision taken by the WRC 15 today will allow is the use of ADSP signals which are currently most aircraft currently commercial passenger aircraft in the world are today equipped with this system but the system can good until now only be received by terrestrial stations so the aircraft to be visibility of a station on the earth which meant as you mentioned that in over the oceans over desert areas over white forests over polar regions there was no no station which could receive these signals and therefore you could not ensure flight tracking so what the decision today enables to do is to have satellites receiving these signals and transmitting them to terrestrial stations and therefore to provide a truly global coverage which was missing at the time of the Malaysian airline tragedy so this is a very important step what this changes is that it allows satellites to be built and to be operated using the corresponding frequencies and this is what we have decided today after one year of studies one year of discussions maybe i would like to dwell a little bit on why do we normally take four years to take a decision the decision of this conference are modifying an international treaty which is the radio regulations this treaty contains all the international provisions for the use of spectrum for all services using spectrum whether you speak of satellites or radio relays or wifi or mobile or radio and tv broadcasting gps whatever all the system that we are using more and more and we have been using more and more in the last 20 years around the world all the system the panel spectrum and the radio regulation is actually how you can use spectrum the radio regulations enable investments to be made in these systems i would like to emphasize that the investments which are made in radio communication system every year are in excess of two thousand billion dollars two thousand billion dollars when you speak of this type of investment you need to ensure the low-term certainty that the investments made are going to be respected and protected universally by every country if you don't have that certainty the investment will simply not be made so that's the essence of the radio regulation and the essence of the process that we are following which is that every decision has to be waited so carefully that at the end of the conference all the 193 countries of the it you will sign the modification to this international treaty and respect it for the next 20 or 30 years what has happened this time is that given the urgency and the importance of taking a decision to achieve this the global community including the civil aviation the IKO and all ITU member states and all the stakeholders in this part of the spectrum have worked very hard in order to ensure a regulatory and technical solution which can be accepted by all member states this is what has happened today and we are very happy and very proud that we couldn't do that it will certainly pave the way for a more safer use of airspace in in the future so with this we would like to welcome questions from you and also I understand from people outside of this room yes good afternoon let me add additional information this decision this afternoon is absolutely important but it's not the only one who will make sure that we will have no such kind of internal in the future repeated what I'm saying is ITU help IKO aviation system to provide them this spectrum to use to to to to to chase those flights in the sky but it's not ITU who will be able to detect which flight in which position is the way this kind of things is done by IKO just like you know anything happened incident to analysis the data in the black box it's not done by ITU it's done by IKO so that IKO will be able and their members will be able to use the new spectrum to chase the flights in the sky but how can we use this data how can we identify those problems that is not in the competence of ITU so I have to make this clear so that is IKO IKO and but anyway if you know they don't have this spectrum they cannot really you know collect the data and to to to to make sure that you know the security will be assured by their systems to strengthen this so this is something I just reminded to keep that in mind when you raise your questions and some of questions you know could be linked with the competence of IKO that we we should try to also find their representative here or somewhere and to ask them to help us to to to take some qualifications or the answers from their side
