MEPs adopt Cybersecurity Act and want EU to counter IT threat from China
It establishes the first EU-wide cybersecurity certification scheme to ensure that certified products, processes and services sold in EU countries meet cybersecurity standards.
Parliament also adopted a resolution calling for action at EU level on the security threats linked to China's growing technological presence in the EU. MEPs express deep concern about recent allegations that 5G equipment may have embedded backdoors that would allow Chinese manufacturers and authorities to have unauthorised access to private and personal data and telecommunications in the EU.
