European industrial policy chief Thierry Breton is set to dismiss claims that relying on European companies to build a 5G network would delay its rollout, weighing in on an increasingly tense debate in Germany over the risk posed by China's Huawei.
"Europe, including Germany of course, is on track. We are not, and won't be, late in Europe on the deployment of 5G," Breton will say. Breton, who heads the vast 'Single Market' portfolio in the new European Commission which includes industrial policy, has said Europe should preserve its"technological sovereignty" by ensuring it has domestic alternatives in strategic areas.In his speech, he will not explicitly call for a ban on Huawei, saying:"Any company, European or not, will be welcome provided of course that they abide by our European rules. We will not build a European fortress.
Germany's Seehofer, who is originally from Bavaria, whose car industry is reliant on exports to China, has said he was against banning Chinese telecommunications equipment suppliers such as Huawei from helping build Germany's 5G network.
