Resumen

This Act defines the Continental Shelf of Sweden: it shall mean the sea-bed and its subsoil within Swedish public waters and within such an area of the sea outside the territorial limits as the Government may determine in accordance with the Convention on the Continental Shelf signed at Geneva on 29 April 1958. The term "natural resources of the continental shelf" in this Act includes such living organisms as, at their harvestable stage, are either immobile on or under the sea-bed, or are unable to move unless they are in constant contact with the sea-bed or its subsoil. The Act does not apply to the harvesting of such living natural resources as are covered by Swedish fisheries legislation. The right to explore the continental shelf and to extract its natural resources shall vest in the State. The State may grant concessions for the exploration of resources. A concession may be made subject to such conditions as the public interest may require e.g. instructions for preventing water pollution or for protecting shipping, fishing or other public or private interests. An authority designated by the Government shall be responsible for ensuring compliance with the instructions and conditions to which a concession is subject.
