“Germany’s Interior Ministry is reviewing rules for awarding government contracts for computer and communications equipment and services as a political rift with the U.S. widens, people familiar with the matter said. Details are being worked out and may require suppliers of components of a bidder’s goods or services to guarantee they don’t hand over confidential data.

(MSFT) as they vie for government contracts.”
