I hope that everybody is well, I mean health-wise, because that is the number one priority. The number two priority is the well-being of our companies, about which we have no idea for now with regard to what will emerge from the Covid-19 mess.Firstly, congratulations to APLF for taking the difficult but right decision to cancel APLF 2020 and go for a fresh start with APLF 2021 at its traditional March timing. PALF 2020 has followed the same reasoning of 'better a great fair in 2021 than a shadow of a fair in 2020'. I am sure that the organisers of other fairs further on this year will make the same considerations. Business will come back to normal, but we need to shake off the negative psychological and economic burden of 2020. As tough as it may be, and as much as businesses want to come back on line, I believe that an exhibition, any exhibition, makes little or no sense in 2020.
