Abstract

The boundary of the continental shelf between the Polish People's Republic and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics in the Gulf of Gdansk and the south-eastern part of the Baltic Sea shall, with slight variations, be a line equidistant from the nearest points of the baselines, from which the breadth of the territorial waters of each Contracting Party is measured. The said line shall begin at the point at which the outer limit of Polish territorial waters intersects the line delimiting the territorial waters of the Polish People's Republic and the USSR established in the Protocol of 18 March 1958 between the Parties and shall follow the line of the boundary of the territorial waters of the USSR to its terminal point and shall then continue in the same direction to points specified in this Agreement up to the point of intersection of the boundaries of the continental shelf appertaining to the Polish People's Republic, the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics and the Kingdom of Sweden. The provisions of this Treaty shall in no way affect the legal status of the waters of the high seas superjacent to the continental shelf or that of the airspace above those waters.
