There is no reference to it, but most semiconductors-making equipment is manufactured by a Dutch company named ASML. However, I don’t know how useful this will be for EU to transition to RISC-V.
it’s complicated. afaik asml has agreements with the us govt, and cross licensing with american companies. also, asml only makes lithography tools, there’s a LOT more to making semiconductors than just exposing patterns. and a few of the biggest vendors like kla and amat are american. kla in particular is essentially a monopoly in the metrology space.
It is a move to decouple from the USA for critical infrastructure.
They don’t want to be in a similar situation as Ukraine in any potential conflict. Where the USA just says we will no longer allow you to use our computer chips for war with Russia.
