The European Commission is planning to ban equipment from Chinese vendors Huawei Technologies Co. and ZTE Corp. from its own internal telecommunications networks, people familiar with the matter said.
The move comes ahead of an anticipated review of the European Union’s guidance on fifth generation mobile networks that will increase pressure on bloc members to phase out equipment from the companies, the people said, asking not to be identified because the plan isn’t yet public.
