Ministry of Commerce spokesman answered questions on Dutch semiconductor export control.
According to the website of the Ministry of Commerce, the spokesman of the Ministry of Commerce answered questions on the export control of semiconductors in the Netherlands.

Once again, the EU failed to reach an agreement on power market reform.
European Union countries failed to reach an agreement on European electricity market reform again on Friday, and diplomatic sources said that countries still have differences on potential new state-aided power plants. Twenty-seven EU countries are seeking to reach a common position on the reform of the EU electricity market plan, but some countries, including Germany and France, have been difficult to reach an agreement on such elements as the state aid rules for power plants. EU diplomats said. Some people complained that they didn’t have enough time to analyze the document, which was sent to countries by Sweden, which currently holds the rotating presidency of the European Union, on Thursday night. Now, the responsibility for finalizing the agreement will be transferred to Spain, which will take over the EU presidency from July until the end of the year. The planned electricity market reform aims to make the price of electricity in Europe more stable, and avoid repeating the situation that the soaring price of natural gas caused consumers to face high bills during the energy crisis last year. However, whether countries can subsidize existing power plants by signing new fixed-price electricity contracts with governments has caused great controversy.
