As regards the Kingdom of the Netherlands, in view of the equality that exists from the public-law perspective between the Netherlands and the Netherlands Antilles, the terms ‘metropolitan territory’ and ‘extra-metropolitan territories’, used in the text of the convention, signify ‘European territories’ and ‘non-European territories’.
