  <genc:entryNotesOnTerritory><![CDATA[Both the GENC Standard and ISO 3166/MA consider the geospatial extent of the Cocos (Keeling) Islands as external to the territory of Australia. The GENC Standard contains separate top-level entries for the external territories of Australia (including the Ashmore and Cartier Islands, Christmas Island, the Cocos (Keeling) Islands, the Coral Sea Islands, Heard Island and McDonald Islands, and Norfolk Island); as a general principle, top-level GENC entries do not overlap in territory. The Australian external territories that have entries in ISO 3166-1 (Christmas Island, the Cocos (Keeling) Islands, Heard Island and McDonald Islands, and Norfolk Island) do not have corresponding entries as administrative subdivisions in ISO 3166-2, thus are not included in the geospatial extent of Australia (see ISO 3166-1:2013, Clause 4.3 "Overlaps"; and ISO 3166-2:2013, Clause 4.1.2 (on subdivision).)]]></genc:entryNotesOnTerritory>
