Eimert van Middelkoop, the Netherlands Minister of Defence, and colleagues from France, Italy, Spain and Portugal signed a treaty setting out the basis for the missions of the European Gendarmerie Force (EGF) in Velsen, the Netherlands, this afternoon.

The NetherlandsAntilles (Dutch: Nederlandse Antillen), previously known as the Netherlands West Indies, are part of the Lesser Antilles and consist of two groups of islands in the Caribbean Sea that form an autonomous part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands (none of the other Antilles use this term in their name).
The island of Aruba was part of the NetherlandsAntilles until 1986, when it was granted a "status aparte", and became a separate part of the kingdom.
The head of state is the ruling monarch of the Netherlands, who is represented in the NetherlandsAntilles by a governor.
