A legal opinion warns that the European cybersecurity reform could violate WTO rules

The EU aims to strengthen its cybersecurity by reforming the Cybersecurity Act, increasing oversight of technology providers from third countries that could pose a risk to ICT supply chains and critical infrastructure.

The main debate centers on the fact that some of these restrictions could discriminate against foreign companies and conflict with WTO rules. For now, this remains an open legal question: the WTO has not ruled the reform illegal.
