Declaration made on February 20, 1986:
"In addition to the letter of the Netherlands Permanent Representative no. 1799 of 24 December 1985, I have the honour to bring the following to your attention in your capacity of depositary of the treaties listed in the annex.
The treaties referred to in the annex, to which the Kingdom of the Netherlands is a Party (for the Kingdom in Europe) apply as of 1 January 1986 equally to Aruba.......27 European Agreement concerning Programme Exchanges by Means of Television Films (1958)
[Letter from the Permanent Representative of the Netherlands, dated 24 December 1985:
"The island of Aruba, which is at present still part of the Netherlands Antilles, will obtain internal autonomy as a country within the Kingdom of the Netherlands as of 1 January 1986. Consequently the Kingdom will from then on no longer consist of two countries, namely the Netherlands (the Kingdom in Europe) and the Netherlands Antilles (situated in the Caribbean region), but will consist of three countries, namely the said two countries and the country Aruba.
As the changes being made on 1 January 1986 concern a shift only in the internal constitutional relations within the Kingdom of the Netherlands, and as the Kingdom as such will remain the subject under international law with which treaties are concluded, the said changes will have no consequences in international law regarding to treaties concluded by the Kingdom which already apply to the Netherlands Antilles, including Aruba. These treaties will remain in force for Aruba in its new capacity of country within the Kingdom. Therefore these treaties will as of 1 January 1986, as concerns the Kingdom of the Netherlands, apply to the Netherlands Antilles (without Aruba) and Aruba.
Consequently the treaties referred to in the annex, to which the Kingdom of the Netherlands is a Party and which apply to the Netherlands Antilles, will as of 1 January 1986, as concerns the Kingdom of the Netherlands, apply to the Netherlands Antilles and Aruba]".
Declaration made upon ratification:
"We approve herewith, for the Kingdom in Europe and Surinam, in respect of all the provisions contained therein, the European Agreement concerning Programme Exchanges by Means of Television Films."
[Note by the CE Secretariat: The Agreement is no longer applicable to Surinam since its independence in 1975].
Declaration made upon signature:
"In their application to the Kingdom of the Netherlands, the words "metropolitan territories" in Article 11, paragraph 1, of the Agreement no longer have their original sense but shall be deemed to signify "European Territory" in view of the equality existing in public law between the Netherlands, Surinam and the Netherlands West Indies."
