ROYAL NETHERLANDS EMBASSY
Dublin, 27th July 1995
No. DUB/851
The Royal Netherlands Embassy presents its compliments to the Department of Foreign
Affairs of Ireland 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 Ireland shall also apply in relations between Ireland 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 1993, becomes applicable
to the Netherlands Antilles and Aruba respectively.
If this proposal is acceptable to the Government of Ireland, the Embassy has the honour
further to propose that this note and the Department'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 Department's reply.
The Royal Netherlands Embassy avails itself of this opportunity to renew to the Department
of Foreign Affairs the assurances of its highest consideration.
