 Joining me at CES in Las Vegas is the chairman of Volkswagen, Dr. Herbert Deese, thanks so much for your time. Last night was a very important moment for you. You unveiled a car that we're going to talk about in a moment. You also apologized for the emission scandal. Car first, why is the car behind you so important to Volkswagen at this time? The industry will change a lot in the coming years and probably more important than the drivetrains becoming electric. It's probably the car becoming a very important part of the internet and that makes it very appropriate to come here to America because America will play a major role there in electric cars but also in the connectivity of the car in automotive clouds. And that is why we are basically here. After the last couple of months we really reviewed our strategy and we are focusing now more on electric cars, more on the full-connected cars, on autonomous driving cars and that made our appearance here very necessary. The second reason for sure is the diesel issue. We have to really sort it now fast and soon. We made a lot of progress over the past weeks so we are very confident that within the next weeks or months, the latest, we come to an agreement with the local authorities, with EPA, with Carp and we can present a package to our customers which will satisfy them and the authorities. And can those talks continue irregardless of any lawsuits filed against the company? Because the US also filed a suit. Does it go on separate tracks? No, to fix the problem has for us first priority. We have to satisfy our customers. We have to rebuild the trust in our products and the company. So that is our top priority. And just to clarify, when you said coming weeks or months, is there a first quarter or a second quarter target on that timeframe? You know, the situation in the US is complex. All in all worldwide we have about 10 million cars and many of those we already have fixes for. They are approved in Europe for instance 8.5 million cars are basically ready to fix the software updates and many hardware changes are starting now in the end of January. In the US the situation is very complex. We have different cars. We have different legal environments. It's federal law. It's a Carp State law. We have different levels of engine dressings and different car styles. So we have a very complex engine and that took us time to really work out the solutions. We think we have now a package, a comprehensive package, which we have to discuss with the authorities. It's a very constructive dialogue. We get good advice from them, but we need their approval and their input. And that is why I can't tell you now. It's in the next few weeks or so. But I think we will soon come to a conclusion. So you're moving forward with kind of cars of the future. You're managing your current problem. At the same time, you're dealing with the fact that sales have fallen since emissions. And I know it's important for you to build back your customer trust when you anticipate a turnaround in your sales. Will you see that in 2016? First of all, we have to fix the problem. Once we settled, let's say, the situation with our customers and the regulators, I think we are then we really can once again build in our future. We will have a very positive future here because we have a very nice heritage here. Yesterday on the show, you've seen we've presented the body, which is kind of a new interpretation of the first bus, which is a very emotional car also here in the States from the 60s, 70s. Many people drove those cars and we had a very positive feedback. I think the brand has a tremendous heritage here with the sepital golf is a very accepted car. Our technology is very accepted. We have a good basis. We have a strong dealer body. They are fully behind us. We have a plant here in the United States, very competent, modern plant. And we have also a product lineup to come to the United States, which will be very convincing. So I'm very optimistic about our future. But first, we have to solve our problems and settle the situation. And finally, is Volkswagen at this point strong enough to stand alone? You don't need a partner. Our Volkswagen is one of the major players. We have technologically very well set up with the Porsche Audi brands. So we have, I think, enough strength to cope with the crisis and then get stronger out of it when we came in.
