Note Verbale
The Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands presents its compliments to the Ministry
of Foreign Affairs of Denmark 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 Kingdom of Denmark shall also apply in relations
between the Kingdom of Denmark 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 Denmark, 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 Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands takes this opportunity to renew to the
Ministry of Foreign Affairs the assurances of its highest consideration.
