Agreement between the Government of the Kingdom of Denmark and the Government of the Kingdom of Norway concerning the Delimitation of the Continental Shelf in the Area between the Faeroe Islands and Norway and concerning the Boundary between the Fishery Zone near the Faeroe Islands and the Norwegian Economic Zone

The boundary between that part of the continental shelf in the area between the Faeroe Islands and Norway over which the Kingdom of Denmark and the Kingdom of Norway respectively exercise sovereignty shall, in so far as the exploration and exploitation of natural resources is concerned, be the mid-line, which is defined as the line equidistant at each of its points from the nearest points on the baselines from which the width of the Contracting Parties' territorial sea is measured. Article 2 establishes a point from which the south point of the median line is measured and a point to which the boundary line is traced as the geodesic to the point of intersection which lie 200 nautical miles from the nearest points of the baselines from which the width of the Contracting Parties' territorial sea is measured. The boundary between the fishery zone near the Faeroe Islands and the Norwegian economic zone shall follow the boundary line referred to in article 2. (5 articles)
