- Thierry Breton, EU commissioner for internal market, called on more member states to remove “high-risk” suppliers such as Huawei and ZTE from their 5G networks, citing national security risks.
- To date, only 10 EU countries have restricted or banned Huawei from their 5G networks, Breton said.
- China later said it firmly opposes some EU countries’ ban on Huawei, and that the EU commission has no legal basis to prohibit the firm, according to Reuters.
