So far, some European countries, under US pressure, are refusing to use Huawei equipment for
What is known
According to the Frankfurter Allgemeine newspaperZeitung, the German government does not want to rush to conclusions, so the Federal Office for Information Security (BSI) will first test the technology that Huawei uses for 5G. The Telecommunications Act will also introduce a number of security measures.
The report says Germany maystop using Huawei equipment at any time, but only if the government, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of the Interior and the Ministry of Economic Affairs jointly express concerns about the provider. However, this is definitely not possible now, since the Federal Chancellery and the Federal Ministry of Economics have repeatedly spoken out against the exclusion of Huawei solely on the grounds that it is a Chinese company.
By the way, Federal Minister of the Interior Horst Seehofer is also opposed to excluding Huawei from the list of 5G providers in Germany.

German government refrains from banning Huawei as a supplier of equipment for 5G*
According to Frankfurter AllgemeineZeitung, the German government refrains from banning Huawei as a supplier of 5G equipment. It states that the Federal Office for Information Security (BSI) will initially test the technology presented for use in 5G networks. It is noted that the Telecommunications Law will introduce a number of security measures.
According to the report, the concept of “politicalreliability" will become part of the Law. Despite the BSI security review, a manufacturer can only be banned if the Government, the Foreign Office, the Home Office and the Ministry of Economic Affairs jointly raise concerns about the provider based on the concept of “political credibility”.
However, this is actually impossible, sinceThe government and the Ministry of Economic Affairs have repeatedly spoken out against excluding Huawei from the list of 5G suppliers just because it is a Chinese company.
