ASML CFO Roger Dassen called a U.S. proposal to restrict the company’s sales of deep ultraviolet (DUV) lithography equipment to China a bad idea, saying passage after the midterm elections would accelerate Chinese development of competing technology.

Dassen made the comments during a call with reporters after ASML released its third-quarter results. He also said he was optimistic that “common sense” would prevail.
