The Netherlands, Aruba, Curaçao and Sint Maarten plan a November meeting in Sint Maarten as an initial step toward a new Aruba Kingdom conference involving all four countries.
November meeting will shape the process
The Caribbean prime ministers discussed the initiative with Dutch State Secretary Eric van der Burg, according to NoticiaCla. The session is preparatory; its agenda, structure and parliamentary participation have not been decided.
Data protection and democracy are among concerns
The initiative follows the latest Interparliamentary Kingdom Consultation. Personal-data protection and the Kingdom’s democratic deficit were discussed, while an expert review of the democratic deficit continues.
