Henna Virkkunen, Vice President of the European Commission, intends to transform the 2020 recommendation to avoid high-risk suppliers in mobile networks into a legal requirement. This proposal would obligate EU member states to comply with the Commission's security guidelines, particularly in the context of the risks associated with Chinese telecommunications equipment manufacturers, such as Huawei and ZTE.

The European Commission is exploring ways to limit the use of these suppliers in fixed-line networks, while European countries rush to implement fiber optic infrastructures. Measures are also being discussed to discourage non-EU countries from collaborating with Chinese suppliers, including through restricting Global Gateway funding.

In the past, several European countries have adopted different measures against Chinese suppliers, leading to an uneven approach and security risks. Telecommunications operators oppose restrictions, arguing that Chinese technology is more affordable. The issue has been amplified by pressure from the U.S., especially during Donald Trump's administration, which banned Huawei.

Recently, a corruption scandal erupted in the European Parliament, in which Huawei lobbyists are suspected of bribing lawmakers, adding a new dimension to the tensions surrounding the involvement of Chinese suppliers in European infrastructure.
