[Document(page_content='00:00:10.08: the buildings of ASML stand out for those who\n00:00:12.60: influence on our lives than any other\n00:00:15.18: Dutch company.\n00:00:17.00: ASML makes chip machines for\n00:00:20.28: making microchips and the world.\n00:00:22.62: is crying out for chips,\n00:00:24.50: a geopolitical battle has even\n00:00:27.54: broken out over the production of chips,\n00:00:30.90: in the year that the world\n00:00:33.72: turned upside down and extreme forces\n00:00:36.60: were exerted on ASML, this\n00:00:39.44: extraordinary company opened its doors\n00:00:42.84: to the outside world on a one-off basis, the\n00:00:45.30: intelligence service now says of Ukraine that there are\n00:00:47.48: 127,000 Russian troops at\n00:00:49.80: the border between Russia and also drove\n00:00:51.12: and pulled together It is 9 minutes\n00:00:53.46: before 8:30 We are going to ASML Good morning\n00:00:55.16: Bas the demand is increasing the supply remains the\n00:00:59.28: same what what can you do\n00:01:01.50: you see I noticed that in the last\n00:01:03.48: quarter you have only supplied to\n00:01:05.16: parties in Taiwan Korea and China\n00:01:09.32: [Music]\n00:01:21.38: creating a document for the European\n00:01:23.52: chip industry This is about elaborating Have\n00:01:32.90: you also made an appointment there,\n00:01:34.98: can you please explain what is\n00:01:36.90: better about that? those machines,\n00:01:39.48: due to the explosive growth in demand for\n00:01:42.06: chips, ASML from Veldhoven has emerged\n00:01:45.36: as the most important\n00:01:47.10: link in the global chip industry,\n00:01:49.34: without ASML there are no chips and without chips there\n00:01:53.16: is no progress until. For 2 days members\n00:01:56.46: eh, no one knew ASML, the rest of the\n00:01:59.82: world suddenly discovered that the ASML\n00:02:01.50: is so important that now It sounds strange\n00:02:04.32: yes that is the BBC said and a relatively\n00:02:07.44: obscure Dutch company yes yes it is\n00:02:11.34: indeed true\n00:02:12.86: we are of course not at all\n00:02:16.08: anymore but that is of course how it was\n00:02:21.02: [Music]\n00:02:50.34: all the devices they have nowadays\n00:02:52.68: chips\n0
