Artikel 6
Verdrag tussen de regering van het Koninkrijk der Nederlanden en de regering van de Franse Republiek inzake de grensafbakening tussen het Koninkrijk der Nederlanden (Sint Maarten) en de Franse Republiek (Saint-Martin)
6.1. The demarcation of the boundary established in this Agreement must be specified and maintained in such a manner that the boundary line is clearly determined and can be easily identified along its entire length.
6.2. The demarcation of the land boundary is established by way of physical features (walls or low walls, monuments, rivers, roads, ridge lines, etc.) that exist on the date this Agreement enters into force, described and listed at a later date by the Committee established pursuant to Article 9. This Committee has the power to establish new demarcation features or modify or remove existing ones, if it deems this to be necessary.
6.3. Each of the Parties, within the framework of its statutory, regulatory and administrative provisions, in particular for the part of the demarcation situated on its territory, shall take the necessary measures to ensure the monitoring and maintenance of the boundary demarcation and to prevent and, if necessary, suppress the destruction, deterioration and inappropriate use of physical demarcation features.
6.4. If the Committee established pursuant to Article 9 deems it necessary, a strip of land not exceeding 4 metres in width (2 metres on each side of the boundary) can be kept permanently cleared in order to ensure the boundary can be accessed, monitored and maintained.
6.5. The costs resulting from the demarcation and the maintenance of the boundary shall be shared equally between the Parties. However, when demarcation work is made necessary due to works that are the subject of a concession, the costs related to this work shall be borne by the concession holder.
6.6. The Parties accept that the equipment and materials needed to maintain the boundary shall freely enter into the territory of the other Party, on the understanding that, upon completion of the work, equipment, unused materials and means of transportation shall be returned to the territory of the Party where they originated.
6.7. The maintenance of immovable property belonging to public or private entities other than the Parties (such as monuments, walls, low walls and other artificial structures) retained as territorial demarcation features by the Parties remains the responsibility of the current owners of the immovable property. The owners are required to restore the aforementioned property to or keep it in a good state of repair, respect any technical requirements laid down by the Committee established pursuant to Article 9, grant competent agents of the Parties continued access to the demarcation features and the routes to access them, including by way of clearing them when the Committee established pursuant to Article 9 deems this necessary, and participate in or be represented during visits to the aforementioned features when required to do so by the competent agents. In the event of failure to comply, each Party can act on behalf of the owners in question and recover from them the costs incurred in so doing.
6.8. The provisions set out in paragraph 7 do not extend to new demarcation features that the Committee established pursuant to Article 9 may determine after this Agreement enters into force.
6.9. New physical demarcation features placed along the axis of the boundary are the joint property of both Parties. Other new physical demarcation features remain the property of the Party on whose territory they are located.
6.2. The demarcation of the land boundary is established by way of physical features (walls or low walls, monuments, rivers, roads, ridge lines, etc.) that exist on the date this Agreement enters into force, described and listed at a later date by the Committee established pursuant to Article 9.
