EU moves to force the phase-out of Chinese suppliers from key infrastructure: Report
The European Union is moving to force the phase-out of Chinese-made equipment from critical infrastructure, barring companies such as Huawei and ZTE from telecom networks and solar energy systems, the Financial Times reported on Saturday.
An existing regime to restrict high-risk vendors is voluntary but the zone’s cybersecurity proposal is likely to make it mandatory for EU countries, the report said, citing unidentified officials.
Some telecom firms in large markets such as Spain and Germany have previously resisted implementing such measures.
