The Commission also intends to “reflect this decision in all relevant EU funding programmes and instruments”. A report finds that the current situation would create a clear risk of persisting dependency on high-risk suppliers in the internal market with potentially serious negative impacts on security for users and companies across the EU and the EU’s critical infrastructure.

Here is the official press release: https://ec.europa.eu/commission/presscorner/detail/en/ip_23_3309

      […] the Commission will take measures to avoid exposure of its corporate communications to mobile networks using Huawei and ZTE as suppliers. It will take relevant security measures so as not to procure new connectivity services that rely on equipment from those suppliers, and will work with Member states and telecom operators to make sure that those suppliers are progressively phased out from existing connectivity services of the Commission sites.

        That’s a bit stronger. 👍 I hope it isn’t voluntary for member states’ to comply.
