Note No: 002

Your Excellency

I have the honour to refer to the European Convention on Mutual Assistance in Criminal Matters 1959 to which both our Countries are parties. I have the honour to propose that, in accordance with Article 25, paragraph 5, the application of the Convention be extended to the isle of Man, for whose international relations the United Kingdom is responsible, subject to the conditions set out below:

• (i) In respect of the Isle of Man, references to the “Ministry of Justice” for the purposes of Article 11, paragraph 2, Article 15, paragraph 1, 3 and 6 and Article 21, paragraph 1 and Article 22 are to the Attorney General for the Isle of Man;

• (ii) In accordance with Article 24, for the purposes of the Convention the following are judicial authorities in respect of the Isle of Man:

• a) Court of Summary Jurisdiction;

• b) Court of General Gaol Delivery;

• c) High Court;

• (iii) That the Reservations Nos. 1 to 6 in respect of Article 2, Article 3, Article 5(1), Article 11(2), Article 12 and Article 21 and the Declaration No. 2 in respect of Article 16(2), made by the United Kingdom upon ratification of the Convention on 29 August 1991, will also be applicable for the Isle of Man.

If the above proposal is acceptable to the Government of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, I have the honour to suggest that this Note and Your Excellency's reply to that effect shall constitute an agreement between our two governments which shall enter into force on the date of your reply.

I avail myself of the opportunity to renew to Your excellency the assurance of My highest consideration.
