Abstract

The delimitation line between the EEZ and the Continental shelf of the French Republic and Seychelles in the area of the Île du Lys and the Îsle de la Grande Glorieuse (France) and Assumption Island and Astove Island (Seychelles) will be based on equidistance. This line is determined by using the nearest baseline from which the territorial sea of each State is measured. The line of delimitation shall be formed by arcs of geodesics joining geographical coordinates listed in article 2. The delimitation line shall be the maritime boundary between the areas of the two Countries. (6 articles completed by a map)
