 </span></blockquote>No, the changes to the border that came into being in 1963 were <br/>
final. Note that not only the areas that were transfered in 1949 were <br/>
involved, but also some Dutch and German territory that didn&#39;t change <br/>
hands in 1949. So in 1963, the Netherlands annexed some German <br/>
territory, but the Fed. Rep. of Germany also annexed some Dutch <br/>
territory (territory that was Dutch prior to &#39;49). An example is the <br/>
Mettmeer area (between Megchelen and Praest), ceded to Germany in <br/>
order to keep the then constructed Bundesautobahn A3 entirely in <br/>
Germany.<br/>
