"The European Commission is reportedly planning to impose a ban on Huawei and ZTE mobile networking equipment across EU member states. The new report comes following comments from VP Henna Virkkunen urging all EU member states to enforce the Commission's 2020 toolbox for 5G security and "stop using high-risk vendors in mobile networks". The security of our 5G networks is crucial for our economy."
"The Commission urges member states that have not yet implemented the 5G Toolbox to also adopt relevant measures to effectively and quickly address the risk. A lack of swift action exposes the EU as a whole to a clear risk. - Thomas Regnier, EU Commission spokesperson Each EU member state is currently free to take its own decisions regarding telecom infrastructure."
"Still, a swift new directive from the Commission could enforce a bloc-wide ban on 5G networking equipment from vendors like Huawei and ZTE. Germany, Finland, and Sweden have already complied with the restrictions on Chinese network equipment, while other EU members like Spain and Greece continue to allow Huawei and ZTE network equipment in their local networks."
The European Commission is reportedly preparing a bloc‑wide ban on Huawei and ZTE mobile networking equipment and is urging enforcement of the 2020 5G security toolbox. The Commission emphasizes that 5G network security is crucial for the EU economy and calls on member states that have not yet implemented the Toolbox to adopt rapid, relevant measures to address risk. Member states currently retain sovereignty over telecom infrastructure decisions, but a swift directive could mandate a unified ban. Several countries, including Germany, Finland and Sweden, have already restricted Chinese equipment, while Spain and Greece continue to permit it.
