The Danish Agency for Community Security appeals expropriation question in case of TDC NET's critical telecommunications infrastructure

The agency had filed a claim that its decision to prohibit maintaining a specific agreement between TDC NET and Huawei and the use of equipment supplied under the agreement was unlawful. The decision was made under the law on supplier security in critical telecommunications infrastructure (telesecurity law), which allows the Agency for Community Security to prohibit the continuation of agreements between major telecom providers and suppliers if the agreement poses a significant threat to national security. The case was decided by the Eastern High Court in the first instance, and the Agency for Community Security has decided to appeal the expropriation question to the Supreme Court. After reviewing the judgment and its premises with the attorney general, we want the expropriation question to be tested by the Supreme Court,” says Director Laila Reenberg of the Agency for Community Security.
