The Netherlands Is Cooperating With Aruba To Have It Realized



December 19th 2012, Aruba.


ORANJESTAD-The Prime Minister of Aruba, Mike Eman met with several Dutch
leaders recently to discuss having a European Union pre-clearance facility at the
island's airport. At present Aruba has U.S. pre-clearance at the airport that was
recently praised by the United States government.

Aruba has to confront different challenges, including enforcing different E.U.
safety and boarder control treaties before receiving E.U. pre-clearance at the
airport. The Minister of Finance, Mike de Meza says that when you are talking
about E.U. pre-clearance, you are talking about E.U. boarder watch at the
airport. In fact, all flights between Aruba and the European Union will be
considered local, as is the case right now with the United States.

The Netherlands is cooperating with Aruba to have the E.U. pre-clearance at the
airport. Aruban and Dutch commissions are working together, and have met
with several delegations in Brussels to discuss the matter. Both representatives
of The Netherlands and Aruba are confident that they will succeed, and that the
E.U. pre-clearance will be reality on the island in the future.
