short article 1 min

The European Commission is proposing that EU member states remove Chinese companies Huawei Technologies and ZTE from their mobile networks as part of a new cybersecurity act. This move comes after the commission recommended removal since 2020 due to cybersecurity risks. Currently, only 13 of 27 EU countries have taken action on this recommendation. The commission's proposal marks the first time Brussels has attempted to enforce removal of these companies' equipment from 5G networks. The decision aims to mitigate potential security threats posed by Chinese technology firms. The proposed act would require member states to review and update their existing laws and regulations to ensure compliance with EU standards.
