Note Verbale
Athens, 21 September 1993
The Royal Netherlands Embassy presents its compliments to the Ministry of Foreign
Affairs of the Hellenic Republic 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 Hellenic Republic shall also apply in
relations between the Hellenic Republic 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 Hellenic Republic, 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 pn the first day of the third month following
the date on which the Embassy receives the Ministry's reply.
The Royal Netherlands Embassy takes this opportunity to renew to the Ministry of Foreign
Affairs of the Hellenic Republic the assurances of its highest consideration.
