ASML has responded to the release of a new Dutch book that centers on the company and has received media attention. The company stated it does not endorse the publication.
In communication with the authors before the book’s release, ASML wrote that statements in the book are “highly inaccurate and damaging to our reputation,” adding that it reserves its right to take further action.
The company also addressed specific claims, stating: “Any reference relating to an offer made by ASML to any government to act on their behalf is not only factually incorrect but significantly misleading, as is any claim that ASML would or did consciously and willingly break any agreement with the Dutch, the US or any other government.”
ASML emphasized its compliance with all relevant laws and regulations: “ASML abides by all laws and regulations applicable to its business activities, and operates within the remit of any relevant export control regulations.”
