BRUSSELS - The European Commission has recommended that member states exclude Huwaei and ZTE gears from local telecom operators' connectivity infrastructure, a spokesperson said on Monday (May 4).
The new cybersecurity rules being approved would grant the EU the possibility to ban the use of gears from high-risk suppliers in the EU market, the spokesperson told reporters during a briefing in Brussels.
China last week threatened with countermeasures against the EU if the new cybersecurity rules were applied as Beijing considers the proposed rules are "discriminatory".
