The right to be forgotten ` EU regulators gather to figure out how | :00:18. | :00:21. | |
to outwork the controversial landmark ruling that censors the | :00:22. | :00:24. | |
web. The rising problem of piracy, so far | :00:25. | :00:28. | |
this year 72 ships have been attacked. | :00:29. | :00:39. | |
Welcome to World Business Report. I'm Sally Bundock. Also in the | :00:40. | :00:43. | |
programme we visit Computex, the huge computer show in Taipei which | :00:44. | :00:48. | |
opens today. But first. Representatives from the EU's 28 | :00:49. | :00:50. | |
data protection authorities meet today to discuss the recent ruling | :00:51. | :00:53. | |
that European citizens have a so called "right to be forgotten" when | :00:54. | :00:56. | |
it comes to information about them online. Since the surprise verdict | :00:57. | :01:04. | |
by the European Court of Justice last month, Google has received | :01:05. | :01:09. | |
12,000 requests for action. But who should decide what stays and what is | :01:10. | :01:13. | |
deleted? Will each European country follow its own preferred path? The | :01:14. | :01:16. | |
regulators find themselves suddenly confronted with some pressing and | :01:17. | :01:23. | |
difficult problems. With me is Chris Green, IT Industry Analyst with | :01:24. | :01:32. | |
Davies Murphy Group. Good morning. Now, we say that they | :01:33. | :01:38. | |
have to grapple with this suddenly but in a way, we have been talking | :01:39. | :01:40. | |
about the issue of privacy and policing the world wide web for | :01:41. | :01:43. | |
quite sometime. What will be deleted, with their fellow they are | :01:44. | :01:48. | |
trying to come up with an underlying EU wide framework. They have a | :01:49. | :01:51. | |
problem at the moment where there is no cut and dried European privacy | :01:52. | :01:59. | |
policy `` they have to try and find some baseline level that will fit in | :02:00. | :02:03. | |
with the local climate of individual countries. That will also have | :02:04. | :02:07. | |
something viable for the light of Google and other people to apply | :02:08. | :02:10. | |
without it being a restriction of trade. It is typical because for the | :02:11. | :02:21. | |
likes of Google, it is the huge organisation, making lots of money. | :02:22. | :02:24. | |
It can afford to have what we are expect to be the announcement of a | :02:25. | :02:31. | |
big team of experts to advise them on privacy responsibilities. For | :02:32. | :02:36. | |
smaller companies, if this were to become EU wide, it could be | :02:37. | :02:43. | |
debilitating. It could be debilitating Indies. Let's be clear | :02:44. | :02:46. | |
on this that is progress would not be cheap for Google. They have had | :02:47. | :02:51. | |
over 12,000 request. They will have to be requested `` handled manually. | :02:52. | :02:57. | |
If you scaled down to smaller companies, start`ups and things like | :02:58. | :03:02. | |
that, the cost of applying this could be absolutely enormous. Do you | :03:03. | :03:07. | |
think we will end up with some sort of EU wide policy that will be | :03:08. | :03:12. | |
applied in all member states will countries are down their own roads? | :03:13. | :03:16. | |
I think it will be hard for a complete EU wide central policy that | :03:17. | :03:22. | |
will apply in a blanket fashion across the whole territory. More | :03:23. | :03:27. | |
likely what will have is some underlying, basic requirement is | :03:28. | :03:30. | |
that they can apply. And then each individual EU member State can apply | :03:31. | :03:35. | |
their own stuff on top. So there was to be variations but at least a | :03:36. | :03:40. | |
basic, based level that companies can work towards to ensure some | :03:41. | :03:45. | |
degree of compliance. Thanks for coming in early this morning. There | :03:46. | :03:49. | |
is a much more to discuss and it is on our website. Do take a look but | :03:50. | :03:53. | |
we have to move on. It's the first day of Computex ` | :03:54. | :03:55. | |
Asia's biggest computer and technology show being held in | :03:56. | :04:01. | |
Taiwan. More than 130, 000 visitors are expected through the gates, | :04:02. | :04:03. | |
including tens of thousands of international buyers. With global | :04:04. | :04:06. | |
computer sales hitting an all time low last year, there's a lot of | :04:07. | :04:09. | |
pressure on firms to innovate. From Taipei, Cindy Sui looks at how | :04:10. | :04:12. | |
they're trying to recover lost ground. | :04:13. | :04:19. | |
With a futuristic tux, computer makers unveiled their latest | :04:20. | :04:25. | |
product. PC sales have declined sharply in the last two years and | :04:26. | :04:28. | |
computer makers have fought back by offering their own versions of | :04:29. | :04:33. | |
tablets on smartphones and two in wind that combine to devices into | :04:34. | :04:37. | |
one. They are trying to anticipate your every need. For this 3`D motion | :04:38. | :04:47. | |
sensor, it has just captured meat falling and sent a message to my | :04:48. | :04:52. | |
smartphone. There I am on the floor. The point of this technology is that | :04:53. | :04:57. | |
if I were to have an elderly parent and she has just fallen, I would be | :04:58. | :05:01. | |
instantly notified on my smartphone. This is one of an increasingly of | :05:02. | :05:06. | |
devices connected to Internet as part of a trend. Computer makers are | :05:07. | :05:16. | |
trying to catch on to this trend. By making product smarter. Like this | :05:17. | :05:21. | |
vacuum cleaner that you can command using your smartphone to clean up | :05:22. | :05:23. | |
your mess when you are out. All wearable medical devices that | :05:24. | :05:28. | |
measure your vital signs and store the information online so you can | :05:29. | :05:32. | |
share it with a later. All this camera that let's you see and record | :05:33. | :05:37. | |
what is going on at home. Industry leaders say there is much room for | :05:38. | :05:41. | |
growth as 85% of the devices people use today are not connected, they | :05:42. | :05:46. | |
expect by 2020, the number of products that are connected will | :05:47. | :05:53. | |
skyrocket to 50 billion. Your we expect many industries to be | :05:54. | :05:59. | |
revolutionised based on computing woven into the fabric of every | :06:00. | :06:03. | |
industry. A couple of them were really excited. The transit Asian | :06:04. | :06:08. | |
industry, healthcare. But not all computer makers are trying to | :06:09. | :06:14. | |
diversify. Dell is doing what it does best, making desktops and | :06:15. | :06:19. | |
laptops. With analysts editing PC sales will only declined by 1% this | :06:20. | :06:22. | |
year compared with 10% last year. They are still hoping. What | :06:23. | :06:28. | |
companies are hoping to do at Computex is not only when that | :06:29. | :06:31. | |
company `` customers but renew them. Foreign ever growing array of | :06:32. | :06:35. | |
high`tech products that are connected to the Internet. Whether | :06:36. | :06:38. | |
or not they will succeed remains to be seen. | :06:39. | :06:43. | |
Now when talking about piracy we nearly always think of illegal | :06:44. | :06:46. | |
downloading and copyright violations. But in fact, old style | :06:47. | :06:51. | |
piracy on the high seas is rising rapidly. The International Maritime | :06:52. | :06:55. | |
Bureau says there have been 72 reported piracy incidents so far | :06:56. | :06:58. | |
this year ` 60 were in Asia, mostly south east Asia. Rico Hizon is in | :06:59. | :07:10. | |
our Asia Business Hub in Singapore. Nice to see you. We were asked you | :07:11. | :07:17. | |
to do any impression of Captain Jack Sparrow on anything like that. What | :07:18. | :07:22. | |
is going on here? Over the last month, Sally, there were three | :07:23. | :07:26. | |
incidents where pirates successfully stole fuel. It was here in our | :07:27. | :07:32. | |
background in South East Asia. Pirate hijacked and Indonesia bound | :07:33. | :07:37. | |
tanker after stealing its entire cargo of oil. The International | :07:38. | :07:40. | |
Maritime Bureau pinpoints the Strait of Malacca as the most pirate | :07:41. | :07:46. | |
infested in the region. It is basically susceptible because it | :07:47. | :07:51. | |
contained thousands of small islands, making it ideal for pirate | :07:52. | :07:57. | |
important passageway between China important passageway between China | :07:58. | :08:00. | |
and India and the routes between Europe, with Canal, the Persian Gulf | :08:01. | :08:07. | |
and the East Asian ports. If this is not addressed sooner rather than | :08:08. | :08:10. | |
later, this could really pose a big problem and impact businesses here | :08:11. | :08:16. | |
in the region. Maritime security expert say that apart from wrapping | :08:17. | :08:21. | |
up patrols, governments have to observe the root cause. Overfishing, | :08:22. | :08:28. | |
weak maritime regulations, organised crime syndicates and widespread | :08:29. | :08:31. | |
poverty. It is a rising problem here in Asia, particularly in South East | :08:32. | :08:37. | |
Asia. Thank you very much indeed. In other news. | :08:38. | :08:40. | |
New data from China shows growth in the services sector zero which | :08:41. | :08:43. | |
includes construction and aviation ` rose to a six month high in May. | :08:44. | :08:46. | |
Services account for almost 43% of China's overall economy. The upbeat | :08:47. | :08:50. | |
news comes just days after Beijing reported that growth in the | :08:51. | :08:52. | |
manufacturing sector grew at the fastest pace in five months. The | :08:53. | :08:57. | |
figures will help allay fears of a slowdown in the economy. | :08:58. | :09:06. | |
Apple is moving into the growing digital health market with a new app | :09:07. | :09:09. | |
that will allow iPhone users to collect data about their health. Tim | :09:10. | :09:14. | |
Cook unveiled the technology and the firm 's new operating system at the | :09:15. | :09:18. | |
developers conference in San Francisco. It failed to excite | :09:19. | :09:23. | |
investors with shares falling slightly after the announcement. | :09:24. | :09:27. | |
While we are talking about shares, let's have a look at how things are | :09:28. | :09:30. | |
going in Asia. Yesterday we had China and Hong Kong closed. Today, | :09:31. | :09:38. | |
we are open for business. Japan is up I.8, Japan had a 2% gain | :09:39. | :09:42. | |
yesterday so is holding on and adding to those. China is one of the | :09:43. | :09:46. | |
reasons for the good sentiment. In the US, a mixed end to the day. I | :09:47. | :09:52. | |
will see you soon as we look through the papers. | :09:53. | :10:04. | |
New figures obtained by the BBC show university students made more than | :10:05. | :10:07. | |
20,000 complaints and appeals against universities last year. The | :10:08. | :10:09. | |
