The EU can designate an entire country as a ‘cybersecurity threat’ This would then see companies from that country excluded from sectors across the 27-member union.
The EU is considering a law to mandate removal of 'high risk' suppliers from 5G networks.
KEY POINTS
- This would be the first time the EU makes exclusion of security-risk firms mandatory, not optional.
- The proposed act allows the EU to designate an entire country, like China, as a cybersecurity threat.
- Chinese authorities warned they may retaliate with investigations and reciprocal measures against EU businesses.
- Exclusions could expand beyond telecoms to connected vehicles, utilities, cloud, medical, space, and semiconductors.
