Maintaining and building
diversity and EU
capacities in future
network technologies
SM08
Develop policies which create optimal conditions for European
technological firms and foster innovation in key technology areas to
promote a diverse, sustainable and secure European 5G eco-system,
including by:
– Developing the proposed EU Institutionalised partnership in the field of
NGI/6G ("Smart Networks and Services") 35 to ensure there is a sufficient
degree of diversity of suppliers and sufficient knowledge and supply
capacity in the EU across the telecoms value chain;
- Developing EU capacities and therefore also avoid dependencies by
supporting disruptive and ambitious research & innovation. This relates to
the implementation of the various EU funding programmes, in particular
Horizon Europe, the Digital Europe Programme and the Connecting
Europe Facility (CEF) (e.g. through initiatives such as 5G Corridors for
Connected and Automated Mobility);
- Bringing together knowledge, expertise, financial resources and
economic actors throughout the Union, so as to overcome potential
important market or systemic failures along the value chain (IPCEI), and
further specific industry initiatives.

Measures
Description
TM01
Ensuring the application
of baseline security
requirements (secure
network design and
architecture)
Ensure that MNOs implement existing security best practices and
recommendations non-specific to 5G networks on, for instance product
development, configuration, day-to-day network management, incident
management, security updates 36, for instance by imposing and
reviewing risk assessment plans by MNOs.
Ensure that MNOs keep up-to-date information on security policy,
including operational information, as well as linked to change and

These measures should be based on international or European standards or technical guidelines, for example the Article 13a expert group guidelines of minimum security measures
