The Kingdom of the Netherlands reserves the right to take any action which it may
consider necessary to safeguard its interests, should certain Members not share in
defraying the expenses of the Union or should they fail in any other way to comply
with the requirements of the Constitution and the Convention of the International
Telecommunication Union (Geneva, 1992) as amended by the Kyoto instruments (1994)
or their Annexes, or the Optional Protocol attached thereto, or should reservations
by other countries be liable to cause an increase in its contributory shares in defraying
Union expenses, or, finally, should reservations by other countries jeopardize its
telecommunication services.
With regard to Article 54 of the Constitution of the International Telecommunication
Union (Geneva, 1992) as amended by the Kyoto instruments (1994), the Kingdom of the
Netherlands maintains the reservations made when the Administrative Regulations mentioned
in article 4 of the Constitution were signed.
