It seems that things continue being difficult for Huawei after the veto imposed by the United States on the company. In addition to restrict access to certain 5G technology for your devices, now the European Union has excluded Huawei’s 5G networks for reasons of security in the member states of the European Union. This is to comply with the measures imposed for one increased network security under the implementation of your Toolbox call.
According to the report of the European Commission, where it announces the upcoming changes in cybersecurity of 5G networks, excluded or restricted the use of Huawei and ZTE 5G networks. This decision has been, literally, because the Commission considers Huawei and ZTE to pose substantially higher risks than other 5G providers. The communiqué shows the Commission’s concern about the risks posed by these providers of communications equipment for 5G networks for network security in the European Unionand consider that these two companies present risks based on a broad base of available information.
This restriction has already been imposed by 10 of the member states and 3 more are working on implementing it. In total, the report records that 24 members of the European Union are or have adopted measures to grant national authorities to issue restrictions for the use of these networks. Also, the communiqué urges member states that have not yet done so, to follow the safety instructions for the toolbox implementation without delay, which now includes the use of these operators’ 5G networks as a restriction.
It seems that things are even more difficult for Huawei outside of its home country of China, where there Yes, it has a great impact. both in their devices, as well as in technology for manufacturing chips and in 5G networks that operate throughout the country.
Update: Huawei has sent an official statement rejecting the position adopted by the European Commission, in which it has detailed the reasons for not agreeing. Among them he has cited “restrictions or exclusions based on discriminatory judgments will pose serious economic and social risks. They would hamper innovation and distort the EU market“alleging that costs will increase for 5G networks (which is will affect the consumer) by excluding Huawei as a supplier.
He has also expressed the risk of designating Huawei as a high-risk supplier without the relevant legal basis, since it is an economic operator in the European Union and Huawei has procedural and substantial rights, under which it must be protected. has also quoted the creation of a Cybersecurity Transparency Center in Brusselswhere he invites everyone (including official bodies) to perform independent security tests and verifications under the cybersecurity standards and best practices in which the company is governed.
