A group of prominent members of the European Parliament have singled out Chinese 5G vendors Huawei and ZTE as \u201chigh-risk\u201d companies that pose a security threat to network security in Europe, according to a letter obtained by POLITICO<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Members from five political groups called for national capitals and the Commission to cut European public funding for the two companies in the letter, which was sent to national telecom ministers and senior EU Commission officials. Telecom ministers meet for an informal videoconference on Thursday.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs all Chinese companies, [Huawei and its smaller Chinese rival ZTE] are obliged under Chinese law to comply with China\u2019s undemocratic authoritarian regime. This includes using networks to control its own population and to spy [on] Western governments, companies and citizens,\u201d the MEPs wrote.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is therefore no question that Huawei and ZTE are \u2018high-risk\u2019 vendors, whose technology in Europe\u2019s 5G networks would constitute a security threat,\u201d they added.<\/p>\n

Huawei has consistently denied allegations that it poses a security risk, and has pushed back on the notion that governments have designated it a \u201chigh-risk\u201d vendor under the EU\u2019s new 5G security rules.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe should be cautious when labelling vendors on the basis of the location of their headquarters. Some companies might be headquartered in Europe, but have their substantial decision center, their supply chains and their research and development facilities in other world regions, such as the US or China. This includes two of our major 5G peers,\u201d a spokesperson for Huawei said, referring to Swedish vendor Ericsson and Finnish firm Nokia.<\/p>\n

\u201cChinese legislation not only applies to Huawei, but also and in equal extent to all companies who have substantial operations in China,\u201d the spokesperson added.<\/p>\n

\u201c5G security needs to be promoted by ensuring technically sound security solutions, excluding vendors falling into the \u2018high-risk\u2019 category from sensitive parts of the networks\u201d \u2014 A letter from MEPs <\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The letter was signed by more than 40 members of the European Parliament, including former European Commission Vice President Andrus Ansip<\/a> (Renew), the head of the Parliament\u2019s China delegation Reinhard B\u00fctikofer<\/a> (Greens) and other prominent members of the conservative, center-right, liberal, social-democrat and Greens factions.<\/p>\n

The signatories called for a review of EU and national public funding to make sure \u201cno European funding, i.e. taxpayer money, will cover the use of technology from \u2018high-risk\u2019 telecom equipment vendors,\u201d including in the EU\u2019s major investment programs under the bloc\u2019s long-term budget and coronavirus pandemic recovery funds.<\/p>\n

Huawei has been engaged in projects<\/a> jointly with European firms that receive EU innovation funding. However, the firm said in its entry in the EU\u2019s Transparency Register<\/a> that it didn\u2019t receive EU funding in the last closed financial year.<\/p>\n

The members also criticized China\u2019s failure to open up its domestic telecom market for European vendors Ericsson and Nokia, saying \u201cthere is also a blatant lack of reciprocity between the EU and China in the market access of 5G vendors.\u201d<\/p>\n

They said the EU should agree on a draft International Procurement Instrument that would close off public procurement for companies from third countrieRead More \u2013 Source<\/a><\/p>\n
