I Notawisseling tussen de Nederlandse en de Australische Regering betreffende resterende intercustodiale geschillen

EMBASSY OF THE

NETHERLANDS

Canberra, 14th October, 1955.

Sir,

I have the honour to refer to the Notes of the Department of External Affairs dated February 3rd, 1950, and January 5th, 1955, on the settlement of intercustodial conflicts between Australia and the Netherlands.

In this connection I have to state that to the knowledge of my Government the only intercustodial conflicts between our countries with regard to German enemy property concern the securities issued in Australia figuring on the list enclosed with the Department's Note of February 3rd, 1950, which securities have been confiscated by the Netherlands.

With reference to the above, I have been directed to inform you that the Netherlands Government is prepared to release the securities in question or the proceeds thereof to the Australian Government in accordance with the resolution of the Assembly of the Inter-Allied Reparation Agency, dated 12th March, 1948. This release will be effected by delivering the assets in question to the Australian Embassy at The Hague.

Moreover, I have been instructed to propose that this letter and your reply in the affirmative be deemed to constitute and be evidence of an agreement between our two Governments on the final settlement of Netherlands-Australian intercustodial conflicts, and that the agreement shall enter into force on the date the Australian Government receive a Note in which is stated on behalf of the Netherlands Government that the constitutional approval required in the Netherlands has been obtained.

I have the honour to be,

Sir,

Your obedient Servant,

(sd.) A. M. L. WINKELMAN

Ambassador of the Kingdom

of the Netherlands.

To:

The Honorable Sir Philip McBride,

Acting Minister of External Affairs,

Canberra A.C.T.
