布鲁塞尔，9月29日：据路透社看到的欧盟成员国政府提出的一项方案，欧洲移动电信运营商可能获得更多时间，逐步淘汰被认定为高风险的供应商所提供的设备。此前，该行业表示，更换设备的成本可能高达400亿欧元（450亿美元）。
BRUSSELS, Sept 29 : Europe's mobile telecoms operators could get more time to phase out equipment from suppliers deemed high risk, according to a proposal by EU governments seen by Reuters, after the sector complained replacement could reach €40 billion ($45 billion).
欧盟委员会今年1月提议，作为修订《欧盟网络安全法》的一部分，应逐步淘汰关键 sector 中高风险供应商提供的组件和设备。此举将主要影响华为等中国科技企业。
The European Commission proposed in January that components and equipment from high-risk suppliers be phased out from critical sectors as part of its overhaul of the EU Cybersecurity Act, a move that would mainly affect Huawei and other Chinese technology companies.
该提案建议为移动运营商设置36个月的淘汰期。在网络和勒索软件攻击发生，以及外国间谍活动引发的担忧日益加剧之际，欧洲加强了对中国技术的审查。
It suggested a 36-month phase-out period for mobile operators. Europe has tightened scrutiny of Chinese technology following cyber and ransomware attacks and amid growing concerns about foreign espionage.
据路透社看到的一份9月22日文件，欧盟成员国政府已从欧盟委员会的提案中删除了这一最后期限。
But EU governments removed the deadline from the Commission's proposal, according to a document dated September 22 seen by Reuters.
各成员国政府表示，淘汰期限应取决于多种因素，包括所识别风险的程度、产品和基础设施的生命周期、设备更换周期、互操作性要求，以及是否有合适的替代方案。华为否认其设备构成安全风险。
Instead, they said the phase-out period should depend on factors including the level of risk identified, product and infrastructure lifecycles, equipment replacement cycles, interoperability requirements and the availability of suitable alternatives. Huawei denies its equipment poses a security risk.
目前，欧盟各国必须先就欧盟委员会的提案及任何修正案与欧盟立法者进行谈判，之后修订后的《网络安全法》才能成为法律。
EU countries must now negotiate the Commission's proposal and any amendments with EU lawmakers before the revised Cybersecurity Act can become law.
Strand Consult今年2月发布的一份研究简报称，未来五年待更换设备中占比最高的是德国、意大利和西班牙。在部分市场，德国电信和沃达丰高度依赖华为设备。
According to a February research note by Strand Consult, the largest share of equipment due to be replaced over the next five years is in Germany, Italy and Spain, with Deutsche Telekom and Vodafone heavily reliant on Huawei equipment in some markets.
本月早些时候，德国电信首席执行官蒂莫特乌斯·赫特格斯与另外16家行业企业负责人联名致信称，高达400亿欧元的更换成本可能耗尽企业用于光纤、5G和6G投资的资金。
In a joint letter earlier this month, Deutsche Telekom Chief Executive Timotheus Höttges and 16 industry peers said replacement costs of up to €40 billion risk draining capital needed for fibre, 5G and 6G investments.
