people. want to know why your inbox is being inundated with privacy policy emails well thats the use of new rules on data they say it will protect your rights but some business leaders are scratching their heads also coming up i'm going to local heads to china to see how they run the tech firms can she meant their recently rocky relationship. i'm daniel winter and this is your business update they call it g.d.p. ah the general data protection regulation put simply a new set of rules on data now the likes of facebook google or amazon will have to tell us what personal danger of ours they hold and we could even have it deleted they could face millions in fines if they don't but what about small firms butchers bakers and bookshops all they are also required to follow the new regulation but

without the same resources of multi-billion dollar empires and the hefty tome of g.d.p. rule book is hard to understand. a stuffed of paper. of the new e.u. days of rules have chamber of class president stumped because it's from the heart of course it's heavy stuff and e.u. commissioner very euro vote tells us to keep cool the flood of information is more confusing than helpful the law wasn't really aimed at trades people. for brussels to create here that applies equally to social media giants as it does to small workshops and it's two hundred fifty six pages thick that's one page for every working day of the year it takes you all your time just to work out what they're after our members are completely overwhelmed. the law was passed some time ago and in theory trades people have had two years to

work out if they needed data protection monitor but there are special cases such as the chamber's president himself he's a professional chimneysweep with only four employees he thought he'd be exempt from the new regulations but as an official district chimneysweep he's classed as a kind of local authority. they told us the data protection laws apply to us in two ways to me as a tradesman and to me as a municipal authority but i am only a one man authority he knows he has to protect his company's data but should he come under the same rules as giants like facebook. that's completely wrong to say someone with only four employees who does very little data processing needs a data protection manager that's simply not true. the responsible ministry acknowledges that the rules will need fine tuning. but for now the search is on for

a data protection manager. for once and i think the deadlines may twenty fifth and if i can't find someone maybe i'll just appoint my wife but what if that's much use in terms of data protection is another story altogether. so are the rules bad for small businesses we asked one of the architects of the law in brussels our correspondent matters caught up with vary your of of the e.u. as commissioner for justice and consumers. making it too tough for smaller companies for the business environment in europe. i think that the g.d.p. are as one important feature it has to be applied in a proportionate to a proportionate to the level of risk and i spoke about it before if the company does not have the processing of data as a core business if they do not sell the data if they do not make money on the privacy of people they should to cause some some minimal kind of measures up if the

companies monetize the data of people they shoot to kill if something better to the people and it's the better protection so proportionate application of duty p.r. is necessary and also i would add common sense because i heard a lot of incredible stories about how g.d.p. will be a blight it's not necessary to go by nicking. fear chrysler is recalling over five million cars in north america after discovering a defect which prevents drivers from switching off cruise control the company is telling drivers not to activate the feature but to take their cars to receive a software update there have been no reported deaths or injuries over the fault which was discovered to during routine computer test. against quotas on wall street for against is one of america's largest ever recalls and the stock of fear chrysler's taking

a beating over. there well and the whole recall certainly shows the challenges of the modern car industry often different models use the same software and same components in this case we've seen more than fifteen different models. having those issues so what i tried to say was that is a big then a problem that we're seeing in one model it wouldn't have caused such a huge recall if we've seen it in this case with chrysler either way we do not have a price tag yet what this recall might cost fear of chrysler and therefore we did not see a mess of sell off in their share but the stock price of surprise i was down two percent here in the friday session and oil is also heading south today what's behind the latest swing lower. that was quite a move that we saw here shortly before the weekend prices down by more than four

per cent for the week all prices are down by a good five percent of the beginning of the week with west texas intermediate we stored at around seventy two dollars a barrel now we are down to a good six the seven there are rumors that saudi arabia opec and to russia actually my dear decides to increase production next the months still rumors but it had quite an effect and oil went down and was it all thought the stocks of the big oil companies and there was also the reason why wall street overall traded at a bit lower here in the friday session for the week wall street is still up investors slipping on that oil slick against call to have a great weekend thank you. in the past germany has accused china of encroaching on industries vital to german national security and locking out competition from the domestic market well now angela merkel is in the tech hub of shen's and was one message let's hit the reset button and work together in developing digital industry

a glimpse into the future chancellor merkel is getting to know the new china here in shenzhen this trip includes a visit to i carbon x a startup using genetic data to develop apps and healthcare gadgets china has invested heavily in artificial intelligence and the digital economy in recent years and now the chancellor is meeting a nation on the technological rise. you know i believe that this momentum shows that on the one hand there are very good opportunities for cooperation but also how we're called upon to approach digitalisation strategically along the growing challenges of the labor market. america received a warm welcome the day before on a visit to beijing china regards germany as its most important partner in europe especially after u.s. president donald trump turned well trade on its head but the countries are not

marching in step just yet one of germany's major concerns is technology theft and china's cyber security laws oblige foreign companies to disclose important data. data is the raw material we work with today and it must be available and secure for businesses it must be portable and compatible and obviously there's still a lot to do at this level. but compulsory joint ventures and the interference of the communist party in corporate issues mean german companies still feel at a loss but the chinese prime minister is taking the problems in his stride. if you encounter economic difficulties here in china don't worry just contact me directly and i will help to solve them.

here. yet despite the difficulties china's huge market continues to attract in shenzhen siemens is manufacturing state of the art c.t. scanners for the chinese health care market and investing more in domestic research china's technological advancement still offers plenty of opportunities. brazilian truck drivers are protesting for the fisc consecutive day over rising fuel costs to spite a deal being reached between the government and several trucker groups president michel tema has now ordered security forces to enter the. striking truck drivers for speakers to polos brazil's main roads there only allowing cars and buses to pass in what is now the fifth day of protest against the country's rising fuel prices brazil is the largest economy in latin america and highly dependent on road transport schools have shut food deliveries have halted and markets

a close to running out of perishable goods. by the same boat i normally distribute one hundred tonnes of iron just today but now we have no oranges and the trucks are parked in the road eight trucks parks everything is stopped and you can't pay for anything think. on thursday the government reached an agreement with several truck driver associations to suspend the fuel taxes for fifteen days but at least one major union has decided to continue striking until the price hike is scrapped entirely some drivers are even striking independently you know there was a new games we don't have anyone representing us we're autonomous we don't have a union we don't have a corporate it absolutely nothing and that is giving us more power. diesel fuel is now at its second highest rate and brazil's history and president michel tema has now authorize federal forces to clear the roads but for now it seems the strike
