Netherlands Lobbies US
Netherlands lobbies the US not to expand chip-equipment export controls restricting ASML sales to China
The Netherlands is lobbying the U.S. not to expand chip-equipment export controls that would further restrict ASML sales to China.
The concern is the MATCH Act, which could curb Chinese access to ASML's immersion DUV lithography machines, expanding beyond existing EUV and some DUV restrictions.
Dutch officials are pushing back on the bill's extraterritorial reach, saying trade restrictions on Dutch technology should be decided by the Netherlands voluntarily, not imposed across borders.
