"The Commission's 4 May text reaffirms its longstanding position that Huawei and ZTE pose risks materially higher than other suppliers in the EU's connectivity layer, and instructs member-state governments and telecoms operators not to use their equipment in critical network infrastructure."
"The same restrictions are now moving, through a draft cybersecurity law presented in January, toward becoming legally binding obligations on member states with infringement procedures attached. The voluntary phase, by Brussels's own admission, did not work."
The European Commission has recommended that member states exclude Huawei and ZTE from their connectivity infrastructure, expanding the original 2020 request to include all telecoms and digital systems. This recommendation is part of a shift towards legally binding obligations, as previous voluntary measures were ineffective. The Commission asserts that these vendors pose higher risks than others in the EU's connectivity layer. While the recommendation is currently non-binding, it signals a significant change in approach to cybersecurity and vendor selection in telecommunications.
