MINISTRY OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS OF THE KINGDOM OF THE NETHERLANDS

Vienna,

4 December 2025

Sir,

I have the honour to acknowledge receipt of the letter from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), dated 1 December 2025, which reads as follows:

(Zoals in Nr. I)

In reference to your Excellency’s Letter, I have the honour to inform you that the constitutional structure of the Kingdom of the Netherlands has been changed. Aruba seceded from the Netherlands Antilles in 1986. Furthermore, on 10 October 2010 the Netherlands Antilles ceased to exist as a part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands. From that date, Curaçao, Sint Maarten and the Caribbean part of the Netherlands (the islands of Bonaire, Sint Eustatius and Saba) are the legal successors to the former Netherlands Antilles. Therefore, the term “Netherlands Antilles” shall be understood to mean Aruba, Curaçao, Sint Maarten and the Caribbean part of the Netherlands (the islands of Bonaire, Sint Eustatius and Saba).

Taking into account these changes, I have the honour to confirm, on behalf of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, that the proposal in your letter is acceptable and that your letter and this affirmative reply shall constitute an agreement between the Kingdom of the Netherlands and the Agency to amend the Small Quantities Protocol accordingly, which shall enter into force on the first day of the second month after the date on which the Kingdom of the Netherlands has notified in writing the Agency, through diplomatic channels, that its internal requirements for the entry into force of this agreement have been fulfilled.

As regards the Kingdom of the Netherlands, the agreement to amend the Small Quantities Protocol shall apply to Aruba, Curaçao, Sint Maarten and the Caribbean part of the Netherlands (the islands of Bonaire, Sint Eustatius and Saba), unless the abovementioned written notification provides otherwise. In the latter case, if the Kingdom of the Netherlands wishes to extend the territorial scope of application of this agreement at any time to one or more of its constituent parts, it will provide a written notification in this regard to the Agency.

Accept, Sir, the assurances of my highest consideration.

DAVID MARTIJN VAN WEEL

To HE Mr Rafael Mariano Grossi

The Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA)
