The United States has been heaping pressure on European countries not to use Huawei equipment in next-generation 5G networks, saying products from the Chinese company present a security risk.
Huawei has repeatedly denied the accusations, and called on the Trump administration to provide evidence to back up its claims.
The European Commission made clear Tuesday that EU member states are responsible for making their own security decisions, but it asked them to complete 5G risk assessments by the end of June.
Countries will also conduct a wider security review by the end of December that will include steps to safeguard 5G networks at the EU level.
