German conservative lawmakers back compromise on 5G - sources

BERLIN, Feb 11 (Reuters) - Lawmakers from German Chancellor
Angela Merkel's ruling conservatives have backed a position
paper on 5G mobile networks that recommends tougher rules on
foreign vendors while stopping short of banning China's Huawei
, sources said.

The document was drafted by Christian Democrat leaders to
address the concerns of party rebels who see Huawei as a threat
to national security. It is intended to lay the ground for
Merkel's coalition government to adopt a common position on 5G
after months of divisive debate.
