ROYAL NETHERLANDS EMBASSY
Rome, August 3, 1993
No. CZ/ROM-463
The Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands at Rome presents its compliments to
the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Cyprus and has the honour to propose
that the application of the European Convention on Extradition of 13 December 1957,
in accordance with article 27, paragraph 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 Cyprus shall also apply in relations between the Republic of Cyprus 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 Cyprus, 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 at Rome avails itself of this opportunity to renew to
the Ministry of Foreign Affairs the assurances of its highest consideration.
