Abstract

On the basis of arbitration decisions the Parties have agreed that the boundary between the parts of the continental shelf which appertain to the French Republic and the United Kingdom respectively, eastward of 30 minutes west of the Greenwich Meridian, shall be a line composed of loxodromes joining in the sequence given the points defined by means of their co-ordinates in the present Agreement. It has not been possible for the time being to complete the delimitation of the boundary beyond Point No. 14; it is however agreed between the Parties that the delimitation from Point 14 to the tripoint between the boundaries of the continental shelf appertaining to the Parties and to the Kingdom of Belgium shall be completed at the appropriate time by application of the same methods as have been utilized for the definition of the boundary line between Points Nos. 1 and l4.
