"The semiconductor industry is international. The Netherlands plays a unique role in it. It is important that we do not unnecessarily disrupt the chip industry. In extending the export control measure, we therefore proceeded as precisely as possible," Minister Klever said.
"The tightening is necessary because of increasing safety risks in the event of uncontrolled export of this specific equipment. The measurement and inspection equipment and other technology could enable countries to produce advanced semiconductors relevant to military applications."
"The new export control measure, which takes effect April 1, affects only a small number of Dutch companies, including ASML and ASMI. This measure applies to exports from the Netherlands to all destinations outside the EU."
