Breton expressed his disappointment that, despite EU guidelines urging its 27 member states to prohibit ‘high-risk’ vendors from supplying 5G equipment, only 10 have implemented this plan. He stated that the inaction of the majority of EU member states poses a significant security risk to the entire bloc and its citizens, declaring that it “exposes the Union’s collective security, since it creates a major dependency for the EU and serious vulnerabilities.”
