AMSTERDAM : Dutch computer chip equipment maker ASML may refuse job applicants on the basis of their nationality when required to do so by U.S. export rules, a Dutch human rights body has found.
ASML, based in Veldhoven, Netherlands, has significant operations in the U.S. and makes equipment used in semiconductor manufacturing. U.S. Export Administration Regulations "although not originating from the Dutch legislator, are indeed binding for ASML," the institute said. The company had argued that violating U.S. regulations would lead it to risk American sanctions that"could bring operations to a standstill," the decision said.In the decision, the institute described a flow chart ASML had submitted as evidence showing it routinely checks whether employees perform work that could be considered relevant for EAR rules.
