Note Verbale
Stockholm, 9 January 1996
The Royal Netherlands Embassy presents its compliments to the Ministry of Foreign
Affairs of the Republic of Lithuania and has the honour to propose that the application
of the European Convention on Extra- dition of 13 December 1957, in accordance with
Article 27, para- graph 4, be extended to the Netherlands Antilles and Aruba, that
the declarations and reservations that apply in relations between the Kingdom of the
Netherlands, in respect of the Kingdom in Europe, and the Republic of Lithuania shall
also apply in relations between the Republic of Lithuania and the Kingdom of the Netherlands
in respect of the Netherlands Antilles and Aruba, and that the declaration concerning
Articles 6 and 21 as made by the Kingdom of the Netherlands upon ratification of the
Convention on 14 February 1969 and as amended on 14 October 1987 shall apply to the
Netherlands Antilles and Aruba respectively, with regard to the extradition of Netherlands
nationals, only when the European Convention on the Transfer of Sentenced Persons,
concluded in Strasbourg on 21 March 1983, becomes applicable to the Netherlands Antilles
and Aruba respectively.
If this proposal is acceptable to the Government of the Republic of Lithuania, the
Embassy has the honour further to propose that this Note and the Ministry's affirmative
reply, shall constitute an arrangement as provided for in Article 27, paragraph 4,
of the Convention, which shall enter into force on the first day of the third month
following the date on which the Embassy receives the Ministry's reply.
The Royal Netherlands Embassy avails itself of this opportunity to renew to the Ministry
of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Lithuania the assurances of its highest consideration.
