  The Kingdom of the Netherlands accepts on behalf of the Netherlands Antilles the obligations arising from Labour Convention No. 69 concerning the Certification of Ships’ Cooks. The Convention will apply to the Netherlands Antilles as of the date on which it enters into force for the Netherlands. It is undesirable to apply this Convention to Netherlands New Guinea for the time being, given that no ships that have their home port in New Guinea could currently fall under the provisions of the Convention. It is undesirable to apply the Convention to Suriname at the current time, as long as only one shipping company operating seagoing vessels is based in that country, with all company shares being owned by its government.
