Adriaansens reportedly confirmed a scheduled Wednesday meeting with ASML ( ASML ) Chief Peter Wennink in The Hague to Reuters and said it was part of "ongoing talks."

The Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte will also reportedly join the meeting with Wennink, as part of the country's "Beethoven" project to convince ASML ( ASML ) to stay, according to Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf.

The company is reportedly worried about its supply of skilled workers, environmental regulations, and electricity supplies, Bloomberg reported, citing sources.

In response to a request for comment from MT Newswires, a spokesperson for Adriaansens said the government and the company exchange views on a regulars basis on subjects ranging from "suitable economic policies, innovation, business climate and economic security." The spokesperson declined to provide further information.

ASML ( ASML ) did not immediately respond to a request for comment from MT Newswires.
