Germany adopts “Information Technology Security Law” and Huawei re-enters the German market

Posted on

The German Chancellor Merkel’s cabinet approved the draft revision of the Information Technology Security Act on December 16 and will conduct strict inspections on telecommunications equipment suppliers several times.

The suppliers need to inform the construction plan As well as the equipment used and ensure information security, data cannot be leaked to foreign governments, and you will be held responsible for violations.

The German government will also review factors such as diplomacy and national defense. If there are any doubts or supplier violations during the implementation, the device can be banned.

the initiative to use key components is in the hands of German officials. If they believe that the components have serious security problems, they have the right to directly cancel the qualifications for use of these components. This bill still needs to be reviewed by the German Bundestag before it can be finally passed, but it has already triggered pros and cons.

The German cabinet stated that the new law faces the entire issue of information security, not specific vendors. ThE key German automotive industry has close cooperation with Huawei and the Chinese market.

Therefore, German car companies and telecommunications companies are very much in favor of Huawei equipment entering the German market, because such cooperation can create more benefits for them. Some supporters believe that there was no way to exclude risky telecom companies before the country, but now there are laws to ensure safety.
