US embassy cable - 05THEHAGUE3010

Disclaimer: This site has been first put up 15 years ago. Since then I would probably do a couple things differently, but because I've noticed this site had been linked from news outlets, PhD theses and peer rewieved papers and because I really hate the concept of "digital dark age" I've decided to put it back up. There's no chance it can produce any harm now.

REF: SECSTATE 199212 
 
1.  On November 3 Econoff raised reftel points with Ms. 
Prachee Brandenburg, Policy Advisor to the Ministry of 
Transport.  Brandenburg said the GONL had no immediate plans 
to ratify the convention or protocol. 
 
2.  Brandenburg explained that The Netherlands had 
participated in the negotiations in order to influence the 
final texts, with the expectation that they would adopt them 
in the distant future.  Dutch commercial law had been revised 
in 1994, she said, and government and industry remained 
satisfied with the current legislation.  Consequently, the 
GONL saw no need to ratify the agreements at this time.
