Dear Secretary of State,

Following discussions which have been held between representatives of our two countries, and on instructions from my Government, I have the honour to propose that the application of the European Convention on Extradition of 13th December 1957 be extended to the French Overseas Territories of French Polynesia, New Caledonia and Wallis and Futuna as well as the “collectivités territoriales” of Mayotte and St Pierre and Miquelon.

The reservations and declarations made by the French Government and the Government of the United Kingdom at the time of their ratifications shall apply to this territorial extension.

If this proposal is agreeable to the Government of the United Kingdom, this letter and your reply on behalf of the Government of the United Kingdom, the French and English versions of which shall be equally authentic, shall constitute an Agreement between our two Governments.

Each of our two Governments shall notify the other of the completion of its internal procedures required to give effect to this Exchange of Letters, which shall enter into force 90 days after the date of the later of these notifications.
