The Netherlands

摘要

The Kingdom of the Netherlands established a contiguous zone on 1 September 2006. The contiguous zone was established for the entire Kingdom, which currently consists of three countries: the Netherlands, the Netherlands Antilles and Aruba. The establishment of the contiguous zone is a competence of the Kingdom, not of the individual countries, and was therefore effected by the Kingdom Act of 28 April 2005: the Contiguous Zone (Establishment) Act. The definition of the outer limits of the contiguous zone and the entry into force of the Act were effected for the entire Kingdom by a Decree of 14 June 2006: the Contiguous Zone (Outer Limits) Decree.
