Prime Minister Andrej Babi\u0161 and US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo have remotely signed a declaration committing to find reliable, trustworthy suppliers for 5G mobile networks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The declaration aims to protect networks from intrusion and manipulation, and to ensure the protection of citizens\u2019 privacy and rights, the Czech government office said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Czech and US intelligence services have warned that to have Chinese companies such as Huawei and ZTE roll out national infrastructure such as the 5G network would represent a security threat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Babi\u0161 and Pompeo spoke by phone Tuesday since a conference 5G networks at the Prague National Museum had to be postponed due to the coronavirus outbreak. Pompeo was to be the main speaker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The auction of 5G frequencies in the Czech Republic was initially scheduled for the second half of 2019 but was postponed due to an objection by the European Commission over competition concerns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Taking into account that secure fifth generation wireless communications networks (5G) will be vital to both future prosperity and national security, the United States and the Czech Republic declare their desire to strengthen our cooperation on 5G. 5G will enable a vast array of new applications, including the provision of critical services to the public, which will benefit our citizens and our economies. Increased amounts of data on 5G networks will further interconnect the economies of the world, including the United States and the Czech Republic, and facilitate cross-border services and commerce. Protecting communications networks from disruption or manipulation, and ensuring the privacy and individual liberties of the citizens of the United States and the Czech Republic are vital to ensuring that our people are able to take advantage of the tremendous economic opportunities 5G will enable.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
Therefore, the United States and the Czech Republic welcome efforts such as the Council of the European Union \u201cConclusions on the significance of 5G to the European Economy and the need to mitigate security risks linked to 5G,\u201d Communication From The Commission To The European Parliament, The Council, The European Economic And Social Committee And The Committee Of The Regions: Secure 5G deployment in the EU \u2013 Implementing the EU toolbox,\u201d and the \u201cPrague Proposals\u201d as important steps toward developing a common approach to 5G network security. These proposals, adopted at a landmark conference hosted by the Czech government in May 2019, emphasize the need to develop and deploy 5G networks based on free and fair competition, transparency, and the rule of law.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
The United States and the Czech Republic emphasize the importance of encouraging the participation of reliable and trustworthy network hardware and software suppliers in 5G markets, taking into account risk profile assessments, and promoting frameworks that effectively protect 5G networks from unauthorized access and interference. The United States and the Czech Republic further recognize that 5G suppliers should provide products and services that enable innovation and promote efficiency. The United States and the Czech Republic note that all countries share a responsibility to undertake a careful and balanced approach to network security, and the evaluation of 5G component and software providers.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
To promote a vibrant and robust 5G ecosystem, a rigorous evaluation of suppliers and supply chains should take into account the rule of law; the security environment; ethical supplier practices; and a supplier\u2019s compliance with security standards and best practices. Specifically, evaluations should include especially the following elements:<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
Whether the network hardware and software suppliers are subject, without independent judicial review, to undue foreign influence;<\/p>
Whether the network hardware and software suppliers have transparent ownership, partnerships, and corporate governance structures;<\/p>
Whether the network hardware and software suppliers are committed to innovation and respect for intellectual property rights; and<\/p>
Whether the network hardware and software suppliers have a record of ethical corporate behavior and are subject to a legal regime that enforces transparent corporate practices.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
The United States and the Czech Republic believe that it is critical for countries to transition from untrusted network hardware and software suppliers in existing networks to trusted ones through regular life cycle replacements. Such efforts will not only improve national security, but also provide opportunities for private sector innovators to succeed under free and fair competition and benefit our respective digital economies. Further, the United States and the Czech Republic support discussions on 5G security within the North Atlantic Treaty Organization.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
