Prime Minister Lee Nak-yeon said on Wednesday that Japan has authorized the export of EUV photoresist, one of the three major export restrictions.

Mr. Lee made the remarks today at the remarks at the state affairs inspection and adjustment conference held at the Seoul government office.

Lee said, "The Japanese government regulated the export of three items that are essential for Korean semiconductors and displays, and excluded Korea from export-preferred countries, or white nations." The government has announced the enforcement regulations excluding white countries and have not specified any regulated items other than the three existing items.
