World Business ReportAvailable for over a year
A deal allowing transatlantic data transfer has been deemed invalid. Jennifer Baker, EU correspondent for The Register, and Dan Castro, Vice-president of the US Information Technology and Innovation Foundation fill us in on what it will mean for business. Also in the programme, we hear from the slums of Lima as the International Monetary Fund says inequality stifles economic growth. The BBC's Michelle Fleury is there. Plus we hear allegations from Greenpeace that one of the world's largest seafood companies, Thai Union, is going back on its promise to fish more sustainably. (Picture: European Court of Justice.
