BERLIN - There is a groundswell of support among lawmakers in Chancellor Angela Merkel’s conservative bloc to require firms that roll out Germany’s 5G network to be free of political influence in their home country, a senior conservative told Reuters on Tuesday.
Merkel favors strict security requirements for the 5G network, but opposes excluding individual companies. She has asked her conservative lawmakers to wait until after a March EU summit before taking a position on whether Huawei can take part. “Only companies that are not at the mercy of their home country can be trustworthy,” he added. “There are already 50 to 60 members of the Union who want such a trustworthiness test.”
