Huawei urges narrow scope for EU Cyber Resilience Act

25 May 2022
Feedback on — EU regulation setting cybersecurity requirements for connected products and services.
Their ask — Huawei requests the CRA focus only on connected hardware products and embedded software, excluding standalone software and ancillary services initially. They argue the scope is too ambitious and risks regulatory overlap with existing laws like RED and GDPR. They want reliance on industry-developed harmonized standards rather than prescriptive technical requirements.123
How it helps them — This would reduce compliance complexity and costs across multiple overlapping EU cybersecurity regulations.456
Who loses — Consumers lose stronger protections for standalone software and complex product ecosystems.7

Huawei urges clarity on data sharing rules

12 May 2022
Feedback on — EU regulation on fair access to and use of data in business-to-business and business-to-government contexts.
Their ask — Huawei requests narrower definitions of 'related services' and 'functional equivalence', protection for confidential business data alongside trade secrets, and clearer technical standards. They argue current definitions are too broad and create legal uncertainty across industries.1234
How it helps them — This would reduce compliance burdens and legal uncertainty for their IoT products and cloud services.56
Who loses — Consumers and third-party service providers lose stronger data access rights and portability guarantees.7

Huawei urges clarity in EU product safety cybersecurity rules

4 Oct 2021
Feedback on — EU proposal updating general product safety rules for connected and digital products.
Their ask — Huawei requests that cybersecurity requirements avoid vague legal terminology and that network infrastructure components be explicitly exempted from consumer product rules. They argue that security cannot be measured in absolute terms and requires product-specific assessment schemes.123
How it helps them — This would reduce regulatory uncertainty and exempt their enterprise network equipment from consumer rules.45
Who loses — Consumers lose clearer cybersecurity standards and protections for connected products they purchase.6

Huawei urges narrower AI definition and sector-specific oversight

5 Aug 2021
Feedback on — EU regulation establishing harmonised rules for artificial intelligence systems and safety requirements.
Their ask — Huawei requests removal of statistical approaches and search methods from the AI definition, arguing they are too broad. They want sector-specific regulators to play the main role in AI oversight rather than creating new authorities. They also seek clarification on data completeness requirements and source code disclosure procedures.123
How it helps them — This would reduce their compliance burden by excluding non-AI systems from regulation.4
Who loses — Consumers lose broader protections as more AI-adjacent systems escape regulatory oversight.5

Huawei urges technical standards over country-of-origin restrictions in cybersecurity

18 Mar 2021
Feedback on — EU proposal to strengthen cybersecurity requirements across network and information systems.
Their ask — Huawei advocates for a strong focus on technical measures to enhance the cybersecurity of ICT products, systems and services. They want certification based on industry standards rather than country-of-origin assessments. The company argues that recent cyber attacks demonstrate trust-based approaches imposing restrictions based mainly on country-of-origin are ineffective and dangerous.123
How it helps them — This would prevent restrictions based on their Chinese origin and maintain market access.45
Who loses — Member states lose flexibility to exclude vendors deemed security risks by intelligence agencies.6

Huawei warns EU data rules could burden non-European start-ups

8 Feb 2021
Feedback on — New EU regulation on governance of common European data spaces and data sharing.
Their ask — The company requests clearer definitions and lighter compliance requirements for smaller businesses. They argue unbundling data sharing services and comprehensive compliance monitoring will add costs. Huawei also calls for sector-based, industry-led initiatives to be encouraged.12
How it helps them — This would reduce compliance costs and preserve their business model flexibility.34
Who loses — Citizens lose stronger oversight of data intermediaries handling their information.5

Huawei urges industry-led AI regulation over prescriptive rules

10 Sept 2020
Feedback on — EU regulation establishing requirements for artificial intelligence systems and their safety.
Their ask — Huawei requests tech-neutral risk assessment focused on scenarios rather than generic technologies, with industry-led self-regulation complementing formal rules. They advocate for multi-stakeholder governance and alignment with global standards rather than one-size-fits-all requirements.123
How it helps them — This would reduce compliance costs and enable continued market access across jurisdictions.45
Who loses — Citizens lose stronger protections as industry self-assessment replaces independent regulatory oversight.6

Huawei urges wireless networks get fair state aid access

11 Aug 2020
Feedback on — EU state aid rules for broadband deployment in underserved areas.
Their ask — Huawei requests that fixed and wireless networks qualifying as VHCNs get technologically neutral access to state aid funding. They emphasize that 4G/5G Fixed Wireless Access can accelerate high-speed connectivity deployment, especially in remote areas, through a smart combination with fiber networks.12
How it helps them — This would allow Huawei's wireless technologies to compete for state aid funding.34
Who loses — Fiber-only providers lose exclusive access to broadband state aid funding.5

Huawei urges EU to include LTE-V2X in transport regulations

8 Feb 2019
Feedback on — EU regulation mandating Wi-Fi technology for vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-infrastructure communications.
Their ask — Huawei requests that the Commission include LTE-V2X technology alongside ITS-G5 in the Delegated Regulation, and make interoperability a mutual requirement between technologies. They argue the current regulation exclusively favours ITS-G5 and excludes LTE-V2X, which offers an evolutionary roadmap to 5G.123
How it helps them — This would allow them to deploy their LTE-V2X and 5G-V2X products commercially in Europe.45
Who loses — ITS-G5 technology providers lose their exclusive regulatory position in the European market.6
