I would like to emphasize his contributions to the refinancing, the entry of Daimler Truck and the integration of the acquired Rolls-Royce Power Systems business. Even if we regret it, we respect his decision for his future career planning and wish him every success. At the same time, I am delighted that we have been able to find an internal successor for this important position in Oliver Neu.
