The Portuguese unit of Chinese vendor Huawei has filed a lawsuit against a previous decision made by the country’s security assessment commission, which effectively bars Portuguese telcos from using Huawei’s 5G gear, according to local press reports.
The legal claim was filed with the Administrative Court in Lisbon and aims to challenge a previous decision published by the security body in May 2023, alongside related documents covering 5G equipment.
The Chinese vendor noted that the lawsuit seeks to protect “legitimate interests and legal rights under the law as a company duly established in Portugal” adding it expected it will “remedy the multiple violations of Huawei Portugal’s rights”.
