:00:22. > :00:24.to outwork the controversial landmark ruling that censors the

:00:40. > :00:43.Welcome to World Business Report. I'm Sally Bundock. Also in the
:00:44. > :00:48.programme we visit Computex, the huge computer show in Taipei which
:00:49. > :00:50.opens today. But first. Representatives from the EU's 28
:00:51. > :00:53.data protection authorities meet today to discuss the recent ruling
:00:54. > :00:56.that European citizens have a so called "right to be forgotten" when
:00:57. > :01:04.it comes to information about them online. Since the surprise verdict
:01:05. > :01:09.by the European Court of Justice last month, Google has received
:01:10. > :01:13.12,000 requests for action. But who should decide what stays and what is
:01:14. > :01:16.deleted? Will each European country follow its own preferred path? The
:01:17. > :01:23.regulators find themselves suddenly confronted with some pressing and
:01:24. > :01:32.difficult problems. With me is Chris Green, IT Industry Analyst with
:01:33. > :01:38.Davies Murphy Group. Good morning. Now, we say that they
:01:39. > :01:40.have to grapple with this suddenly but in a way, we have been talking
:01:41. > :01:43.about the issue of privacy and policing the world wide web for
:01:44. > :01:48.quite sometime. What will be deleted, with their fellow they are
:01:49. > :01:51.trying to come up with an underlying EU wide framework. They have a
:01:52. > :01:59.problem at the moment where there is no cut and dried European privacy
:02:00. > :02:03.policy `` they have to try and find some baseline level that will fit in
:02:04. > :02:07.with the local climate of individual countries. That will also have
:02:08. > :02:10.something viable for the light of Google and other people to apply
:02:11. > :02:21.without it being a restriction of trade. It is typical because for the
:02:22. > :02:24.likes of Google, it is the huge organisation, making lots of money.
:02:25. > :02:31.It can afford to have what we are expect to be the announcement of a
:02:32. > :02:36.big team of experts to advise them on privacy responsibilities. For
:02:37. > :02:43.smaller companies, if this were to become EU wide, it could be
:02:44. > :02:46.debilitating. It could be debilitating Indies. Let's be clear
:02:47. > :02:51.on this that is progress would not be cheap for Google. They have had
:02:52. > :02:57.over 12,000 request. They will have to be requested `` handled manually.
:02:58. > :03:02.If you scaled down to smaller companies, start`ups and things like
:03:03. > :03:07.that, the cost of applying this could be absolutely enormous. Do you
:03:08. > :03:12.think we will end up with some sort of EU wide policy that will be
:03:13. > :03:16.applied in all member states will countries are down their own roads?
:03:17. > :03:22.I think it will be hard for a complete EU wide central policy that
:03:23. > :03:27.will apply in a blanket fashion across the whole territory. More
:03:28. > :03:30.likely what will have is some underlying, basic requirement is
:03:31. > :03:35.that they can apply. And then each individual EU member State can apply
:03:36. > :03:40.their own stuff on top. So there was to be variations but at least a
:03:41. > :03:45.basic, based level that companies can work towards to ensure some
:03:46. > :03:49.degree of compliance. Thanks for coming in early this morning. There
:03:50. > :03:53.is a much more to discuss and it is on our website. Do take a look but
:03:54. > :03:55.we have to move on. It's the first day of Computex `
:03:56. > :04:01.Asia's biggest computer and technology show being held in
:04:02. > :04:03.Taiwan. More than 130, 000 visitors are expected through the gates,
:04:04. > :04:06.including tens of thousands of international buyers. With global
:04:07. > :04:09.computer sales hitting an all time low last year, there's a lot of
:04:10. > :04:12.pressure on firms to innovate. From Taipei, Cindy Sui looks at how
:04:13. > :04:19.they're trying to recover lost ground.
:04:20. > :04:25.With a futuristic tux, computer makers unveiled their latest
:04:26. > :04:28.product. PC sales have declined sharply in the last two years and
:04:29. > :04:33.computer makers have fought back by offering their own versions of
:04:34. > :04:37.tablets on smartphones and two in wind that combine to devices into
:04:38. > :04:47.one. They are trying to anticipate your every need. For this 3`D motion
:04:48. > :04:52.sensor, it has just captured meat falling and sent a message to my
:04:53. > :04:57.smartphone. There I am on the floor. The point of this technology is that
:04:58. > :05:01.if I were to have an elderly parent and she has just fallen, I would be
:05:02. > :05:06.instantly notified on my smartphone. This is one of an increasingly of
:05:07. > :05:16.devices connected to Internet as part of a trend. Computer makers are
:05:17. > :05:21.trying to catch on to this trend. By making product smarter. Like this
:05:22. > :05:23.vacuum cleaner that you can command using your smartphone to clean up
:05:24. > :05:28.your mess when you are out. All wearable medical devices that
:05:29. > :05:32.measure your vital signs and store the information online so you can
:05:33. > :05:37.share it with a later. All this camera that let's you see and record
:05:38. > :05:41.what is going on at home. Industry leaders say there is much room for
:05:42. > :05:46.growth as 85% of the devices people use today are not connected, they
:05:47. > :05:53.expect by 2020, the number of products that are connected will
:05:54. > :05:59.skyrocket to 50 billion. Your we expect many industries to be
:06:00. > :06:03.revolutionised based on computing woven into the fabric of every
:06:04. > :06:08.industry. A couple of them were really excited. The transit Asian
:06:09. > :06:14.industry, healthcare. But not all computer makers are trying to
:06:15. > :06:19.diversify. Dell is doing what it does best, making desktops and
:06:20. > :06:22.laptops. With analysts editing PC sales will only declined by 1% this
:06:23. > :06:28.year compared with 10% last year. They are still hoping. What
:06:29. > :06:31.companies are hoping to do at Computex is not only when that
:06:32. > :06:35.company `` customers but renew them. Foreign ever growing array of
:06:36. > :06:38.high`tech products that are connected to the Internet. Whether
:06:39. > :06:43.or not they will succeed remains to be seen.
:06:44. > :06:46.Now when talking about piracy we nearly always think of illegal
:06:47. > :06:51.downloading and copyright violations. But in fact, old style
:06:52. > :06:55.piracy on the high seas is rising rapidly. The International Maritime
:06:56. > :06:58.Bureau says there have been 72 reported piracy incidents so far
:06:59. > :07:10.this year ` 60 were in Asia, mostly south east Asia. Rico Hizon is in
:07:11. > :07:17.our Asia Business Hub in Singapore. Nice to see you. We were asked you
:07:18. > :07:22.to do any impression of Captain Jack Sparrow on anything like that. What
:07:23. > :07:26.is going on here? Over the last month, Sally, there were three
:07:27. > :07:32.incidents where pirates successfully stole fuel. It was here in our
:07:33. > :07:37.background in South East Asia. Pirate hijacked and Indonesia bound
:07:38. > :07:40.tanker after stealing its entire cargo of oil. The International
:07:41. > :07:46.Maritime Bureau pinpoints the Strait of Malacca as the most pirate
:07:47. > :07:51.infested in the region. It is basically susceptible because it
:07:52. > :07:57.contained thousands of small islands, making it ideal for pirate
:07:58. > :08:00.important passageway between China important passageway between China
:08:01. > :08:07.and India and the routes between Europe, with Canal, the Persian Gulf
:08:08. > :08:10.and the East Asian ports. If this is not addressed sooner rather than
:08:11. > :08:16.later, this could really pose a big problem and impact businesses here
:08:17. > :08:21.in the region. Maritime security expert say that apart from wrapping
:08:22. > :08:28.up patrols, governments have to observe the root cause. Overfishing,
:08:29. > :08:31.weak maritime regulations, organised crime syndicates and widespread
:08:32. > :08:37.poverty. It is a rising problem here in Asia, particularly in South East
:08:38. > :08:40.Asia. Thank you very much indeed. In other news.
:08:41. > :08:43.New data from China shows growth in the services sector zero which
:08:44. > :08:46.includes construction and aviation ` rose to a six month high in May.
:08:47. > :08:50.Services account for almost 43% of China's overall economy. The upbeat
:08:51. > :08:52.news comes just days after Beijing reported that growth in the
:08:53. > :08:57.manufacturing sector grew at the fastest pace in five months. The
:08:58. > :09:06.figures will help allay fears of a slowdown in the economy.
:09:07. > :09:09.Apple is moving into the growing digital health market with a new app
:09:10. > :09:14.that will allow iPhone users to collect data about their health. Tim

:09:19. > :09:23.developers conference in San Francisco. It failed to excite
:09:24. > :09:27.investors with shares falling slightly after the announcement.
:09:28. > :09:30.While we are talking about shares, let's have a look at how things are
:09:31. > :09:38.going in Asia. Yesterday we had China and Hong Kong closed. Today,
:09:39. > :09:42.we are open for business. Japan is up I.8, Japan had a 2% gain
:09:43. > :09:46.yesterday so is holding on and adding to those. China is one of the
:09:47. > :09:52.reasons for the good sentiment. In the US, a mixed end to the day. I
:09:53. > :10:04.will see you soon as we look through the papers.
:10:05. > :10:07.New figures obtained by the BBC show university students made more than
:10:08. > :10:09.20,000 complaints and appeals against universities last year. The
