The measures will affect Dutch firm ASML, which is a key part of the global microchip supply chain.
The Dutch government says before the summer it will put restrictions on the country’s « most advanced » chip exports to protect its national security, following a similar move by the US.
It will include technology produced by computer chip equipment maker ASML.
ASML is one of the most important firms in the global microchip supply chain.
Semiconductors, which power everything from mobile phones to military hardware, are at the centre of a bitter dispute between the US and China.
The measures will affect « very specific technologies in the semiconductor production cycle, » the country’s trade minister Liesje Schreinemacher said.
« The Netherlands considers it necessary on national and international security grounds that this technology is brought under control as soon as possible, » she said in a letter to lawmakers on Wednesday.
