The Italian government confirmed it will drop emergency legislation aimed at strengthening state powers to intervene in the country’s 5G infrastructure market, Reuters reported, citing Italian lawmakers.
Last week, Italy approved a decree to increase the government’s powers to intervene in the critical 5G market, mainly due to concerns about the potential involvement of Chinese vendors Huawei and ZTE, according to a government source.
Cabinet undersecretary Vincenzo Santangelo recently told the Senate’s Finance committee that the government would not push to approve the decree to strengthen its so-called “golden power.”
