Operator(Operator Instructions) Our first question comes from Tim Rokossa at Deutsche Bank.
Tim Rokossa - Deutsche Bank AG, Research Division - Head of Research
It's Tim from Deutsche Bank. I'd have two questions, please. The first one is, I think the key element to discuss today is the pricing element of your EBIT bridge. All of your competitors have already reported. We've seen reporting season with very peer clear trends. Volume was generally weak. Pricing was generally very strong for your competitors.
For you, that's not the case. Less volume issues clearly speak for your superior supply chain and model cycle management. We love that about you guys. That's great, but the pricing raises a few question marks. So two questions on that.
