whether it's parma ham or the airbus
a380 europe makes things that the rest
of the world wants to buy that's the
nature of trade and it's hugely
important to Europe's economic future
trade policy decisions affect us in many
ways consumer choice prices quality
safety standards etc trade is also a
vital bridge to other policy objectives
not only commercial but also sustainable
development goals like a better
environment or higher safety standards
and foreign factories
EU trade policy is successful because
it's one of the areas where the Union
speaks with one voice decisions are not
made from an ivory tower citizens
business and other stakeholders can all
participate in the process the European
Commission's trade team has a regular
dialogue with civil society before
during and after deciding on trade
policy or when negotiating agreements
this improves transparency and
accountability
the Commission does not trade goods or
services or favor certain industries
what it does do is set the best possible
legal economic and political environment
so businesses can do their job better
thanks to the single market the EU is a
trade superpower but it needs to up its
game to remain competitive there is a
lot riding on it 30 million EU jobs
depend on trade in fact trade is a
powerful weapon against the economic
crisis grip in Europe selling cars
medical instruments cosmetics turbines
brings in much-needed earnings takes
pressure of public finances and even
supports new inventions technologies and
processes trade is an engine for growth
each traditional 1 billion euro of
exports creates some 15,000 more jobs
across the EU betrayed faces many
hurdles unnecessary red tape in
countries outside the EU slowing down
the flow of goods different product
standards and the dumping of products at
artificially low prices for example
because of subsidies luxury products but
also technical and industrial inventions
coming from Europe need protecting from
fakes some of our most creative sectors
depend on it and so do consumers whose
safety even health maybe put risk it's
tempting to try to protect markets from
competition but that doesn't work in
order to export you also need to input
and trade is the conveyor belt that
links Europe to the new global growth
sensors it's a unique source of
productivity gains for Europe to tap
in the future most worldwide growth is
expected to be generated outside Europe
so today it's critical to engage not
just with major players such as the US
and Japan but also with emerging and
dynamic economies like South Korea India
and Brazil new trade agreements could
boost EU output and create new jobs now
you know why trade matters it's a path
to economic recovery trade policies
shapes the legal economic and political
environment it doesn't favor particular
products sellers or countries the EU is
an important player when it comes to
trade but in a competitive world it must
remain vigilant to make sure others play
by the rules of the game we need to
combat issues such as counterfeiting and
piracy having a dialogue with civil
society and stakeholders is vital
because trade policy affects everyone
the US and China are the two largest
single country economies in the world so
it's a little surprised that the
American Internet giants have Chinese
equivalents how do they stack up against
each other Google's equivalent in China
baidu looks quite similar in terms of
site design and revenue model but when
it comes to market share there's really
no comparison the closest thing China
probably has a facebook is ren ren but a
snapshot in May showed that Ren Ren had
much fewer registered users as a percent
of total Internet users in the country
these examples can trash sharply with
the success of China's Twitter
counterpart Weibo which has both more
registered accounts and active users
than twitter yet China's biggest
internet success Tencent if the site
that has no us peer posting a variety of
web services ranging from instant
messaging to multiplayer online games
Tencent is the third largest internet
business in the world behind Google and
Amazon as China moves to are becoming
the world's largest economy do you think
it'll begin to compete with the u.s. at
the global leader and Internet
innovation to it is what you think at
what's trending
this is a presentation of the latest
global literacy data let's take a look
at the numbers there are an estimated
774 million illiterate adults aged 15 or
older two-thirds of them are women
that's four hundred and ninety-three
million women who struggled to read a
prescription fill out a form or even
send a text message what about youth
there are a hundred and twenty-three
million illiterate youth in total of
them 76 million where two-thirds are
female even though the number of youth
who can't read or write is getting
smaller the proportion of young
illiterate women isn't let's take a
closer look where do illiterate women
live 54 million of the world's 76
million young illiterate women live in
only nine countries India alone is home
to an estimated twenty seven million
illiterate girls represented by the
yellow bar followed by Pakistan with
seven million in Nigeria which has six
million some parts of the world have
seen a steady rise in literacy rates in
South and West Asia for example literacy
among young men and women represented in
dark green has risen from sixty percent
in 1992 eighty percent in 2011 the
latest data it should climb another
eight to ten percent by 2015 other
regions have seen youth literacy rates
stagnate and remain far from the
millennium development goal of cutting
illiteracy in half by 2015 this is the
case in sub-saharan Africa where the
number of literate youth has risen only
four percent in the past decade by 2015
about 75% of youth in the region will be
able to read and write but millions of
young people will still be falling
through the cracks by the year 2030 in
Egypt the gender gap will close but
there will still be more than 600,000
illiterate youth evenly divided between
young women in yellow and young men
represented in green Molly will have
over 1 million illiterate youth and
India will have close to 8 million of
that more than 4 million will be young
women so who are these illiterate adults
of the future they're among the 57
million children who are not in school
today one and two of these children
lives in sub-saharan Africa half of them
will never enter a classroom the other
half has dropped out or we'll start
school late globally an estimated 250
million children of primary school age
lack basic reading and writing skills
whether they're in school or not this is
because of the poor quality of teaching
and learning how can we change their
destiny let's keep our promise education
