DUTCH, FRENCH COMMISSIONS DISCUSS FRANCO-DUTCH TREATY

A high level delegation of French St. Maarten is to join their counterparts on the Dutch side of St. Maarten on Wednesday for discussions on the Franco-Dutch treaty.

Members of the French commission expected to attend the meeting include Prefect Dominique Lacroix, who will lead the French delegation.

St. Maarten’s governor Franklyn Richards is leading a Dutch-Antillean Steering Committee Franco Dutch Treaty attending the meeting, which is to be held in the Claude Wathey Legislative Hall.

As this will be the first meeting of the steering committee in its official composition, a working group will be officially installed as an initial step for the implementation and the carrying out of the treaty.

The treaty makes it possible to organize joint controls for passengers arriving at St. Maarten’s airports.

The treaty has as goal to facilitate cooperation between the French and the Netherlands Antilles authorities in preventing illegal immigration to the island.
