Abstract

The Swedish Government proposes that the course of the State frontier should be established in accordance with the proposal made jointly by the frontier commissioners as a result of the 1981 frontier survey, with the exception of the above-mentioned frontier segment near the Vähänärä rapids, and should enter into force on 1 August 1985. In the matter of the frontier segment near the Vähänärä rapids, the Swedish Government proposes that a new frontier survey should be carried out and the position of the thalweg should be established. The determination of the thalweg shall be governed by the same principles with regard to the frontier segment as in the 1981 frontier survey. The survey shall be carried out jointly by one Swedish and one Finnish frontier commission as soon as possible during the year 1985. Each State shall establish instructions for its frontier commission.
