EU plan to phase-out high-risk tech draws fire from China’s Huawei

The EU plans to phase out components and equipment from high-risk suppliers in critical sectors, according to a draft proposal released by Brussels on Tuesday – a move criticised by China’s Huawei, which is set to be among the companies affected.
The measures, set out by the European Commission in revisions to the EU’s Cybersecurity Act, follow a rise in cyber and ransomware attacks and growing concerns over foreign interference, espionage and Europe’s reliance on non-EU technology suppliers.
The Commission, the 27-nation bloc’s executive arm, did not name any companies or countries.
