The Netherlands tightened export control rules to make ASML Holding NV apply for licenses with the Dutch government instead of Washington for some of its tools.
The new rules, released on Wednesday, apply to the export of specific measuring and inspection equipment made by Dutch semiconductor gear makers like ASML and ASM International NV, and will come into effect on April 1.
