BRUSSELS - The European Commission is increasing the pressure on member-nations to stop using Huawei Technologies Co and ZTE Corp equipment in their most advanced mobile networks, explicitly labelling the companies for the first time as “high-risk” vendors.

The EU’s latest guidance also comes as countries including Germany and Spain have continued to use Chinese equipment makers in their networks at levels that the EU finds unacceptable, people familiar with the situation said, asking not to be identified because the information isn’t public. Some countries have also pushed for a more aggressive EU-wide stance, expressing concerns about publicly speaking out against Chinese companies on their own, the people familiar with the matter said.

An advisory report issued by the commission Thursday notes that certain countries have continued to rely on Chinese technology years after allied countries including the US, UK, Canada and Australia have banned Huawei from 5G networks.But it ultimately leaves policy decisions on 5G security in individual nations’ hands as before.
