This is the best summary I could come up with:


The Dutch government is pulling out all the stops to entice semiconductor maker ASML to remain in the country, following the company being openly disgruntled about The Netherlands' anti-migrant position.

However, the Dutch government has still moved to tighten migration laws, which could mean that ASML faces more difficulties hiring appropriately skilled talent in the country.

More moves on curbing immigration could be seen in the coming months, especially if The Netherlands anti-Islam Party for Freedom (PVV), the largest one currently in parliament, manages to garner enough support.

Geert Wilders, the head of this party has been very vocal about bringing in policies such as no Islamic headscarves in government buildings, as well as bans on the Qur'an and mosques.

Although the migrancy issue seems to be a major one for ASML, the Dutch government maintains that the company also wants to move out of The Netherlands in order to be able to grow more.

This rapid growth could potentially put an unprecedented amount of pressure on the country's facilities, which may not have the capacity to scale up at the same rate.
