As you can see through these commercials that we have made over recent years as Total and Elf in France, we can speak about motor fuels in quite different and funny ways, can we not. We can even make our customers laugh whilst watching our commercials! I am afraid this was the funniest part of my presentation today! What will follow will not make you smile. Hopefully, it will not make you yawn either! am delighted and honoured to be here in Rio, 10 years after a summit with its well-known historic dimension leading to a more global awareness of the importance of sustainable development for our planet. I would like to share with you today the view of one of the main players in the petroleum industry, on the paths to sustainable development and how we can pave the way together with the automotive industry. Through this dialogue with Dr Burkhard Goeschel, I would like to outline the challenges and the requirements of the fuels industry for the future and listen to those of the car industry. Understanding each other is, here as everywhere, a key requirement to success. So, I would like to thank the World Petroleum Congress for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this dialogue. The topic that we have been proposed to deal with today is indeed quite crucial for our world! How can we, petroleum and automotive industries, supply the fuels the entire world will need in the future decades in a way that will not spoil our planet? Huge problem, isn't it? But solvable, I believe.
