Europes largest telecom operator Deutsche Telekom faces political pushback in Germany over new reports about its close relationship with Chinese 5G vendor Huawei.<\/p>\n

The German operator strengthened its strategic relationship last year despite growing defiance toward the dominant Chinese 5G vendor, POLITICO reported<\/a> Monday. The two companies also closed a deal that included a commitment from Huawei to shoulder the burdens and costs of U.S. security measures taken last year.<\/p>\n

German paper Handelsblatt wrote<\/a> Tuesday that the operator had maintained significant ties with Huawei in several strategic projects in past years, including its 5G rollout announced last April<\/a> and June<\/a> \u2014 prompting reaction from German lawmakers.<\/p>\n

\u201cTelekom needs to clarify, it owes us parliamentarians an explanation,\u201d Social Democrat lawmaker Bernd Westphal told Handelsblatt<\/a> after the reports came out.<\/p>\n

Conservative lawmaker Thorsten Frei told the paper: \u201cIt would be very problematic if there is indeed a high degree of dependence of Telekom on Huawei in expanding the 5G network.\u201d<\/p>\n

In a statement, the company said that \u201cthanks to our multi-vendor strategy, there is no dominant supplier for the entire network\u201d and that it is relying on its suppliers Huawei and Swedish competitor Ericsson for 5G antennas for technical reasons.<\/p>\n

\u201cFact is that the sales of Deutsche Telekom with Huawei have been declining in the last 3 years,\u201d it said, adding that it was \u201cmoving out Chinese vendors in the mobile communications core network.\u201d<\/p>\n

The company procures equipment from Huawei for its cloud services and different parts of the network.<\/p>\n

The criticism in Germany goes beyond Deutsche Telekoms corporate decisions. Several politicians slammed the German government \u2014 namely Chancellor Angela Merkel and close confidant and Economy Minister Peter Altmaier \u2014 for failing to hold the operator to account.<\/p>\n

In past months, the German government has postponed proposing a new IT Security Law<\/a> \u2014 which is the second of two pieces of legislation needed to impose tougher security rules on operators and vendors. It is likely to force Deutsche Telekom to decrease its reliance on Huawei equipment in future telecom networks.<\/p>\n

The delay on the legislation is \u201ca huge problem,\u201d Falko Mohrs, a lawmaker from the Social Read More \u2013 Source<\/a><\/p>\n
