The European Commission (EC) has announced a joint “toolbox” of mitigating measures agreed upon by EU member states to address security risks related to the rollout of 5G technology.
This announcement follows the European Council’s call for a concerted approach to the security of 5G in March 2019. Member states have since identified risks and vulnerabilities at national level and published a joint EU risk assessment.
Through the toolbox, the member states are committing to move forward in a joint manner based on an objective assessment of identified risks and proportionate mitigating measures.
