Overview
- Demissionair economic affairs minister Vincent Karremans temporarily suspended the state's special oversight of the Nijmegen-based chipmaker.
- The suspension does not scrap the measure, as the minister can reapply it and Nexperia must keep reporting any moves of production assets or know-how.
- Karremans imposed the intervention in late September to block decisions deemed risky for European chip output after concerns over the firm's Chinese director.
- A commercial court removed that director the day after the intervention, and China then halted exports from Nexperia’s Chinese plant, unsettling automakers.
- Dutch officials are in China for talks, and the minister says he expects chip shipments to resume.
