European Council
The European Council sets the EU's policy agenda, traditionally by adopting conclusions during its meetings that identify issues of concern and actions to take.
In its conclusions of 1 and 2 October 2020, the European Council asked the Commission to support acceleration of deploying a very high capacity and secure 5G network infrastructure all over the EU. To ensure this, it urged all Member States to submit their national plans on the rollout of 5G to the Commission by the end of 2020, as set out in the 5G Action Plan.
The EU countries have also been asked to consider the 5G cybersecurity toolbox when doing this, which was adopted on 29 January 2020.
