Résumé

As a consequence of the enactment of the Archipelagic Waters and Exclusive Economic Zone Act (No. 24 of 1986) this Act provides for a new definition of "Contiguous Zone" (sect. 2), "Internal Waters" (sect. 4), "closing lines" (sect. 4), "low-water line" (sect. 7(1)), and for new measurement and definition of the baselines (sect. 5). A new section 6A on enforcement measures in the Contiguous Zone is added after section 6. "Internal waters" shall now include all archipelagic waters on the landward side of the closing lines. The baselines in this Act shall be measured conform the straight archipelagic baselines as prescribed in Act No. 24 of 1986. Low-tide elevations that lie wholly or in part within the breadth of the sea which would be territorial sea if all low-tide elevations were disregarded for the purpose of the measurement of the breadth thereof, shall be treated as an island (sec.5). Section 6a deals with powers of control of officers in the contiguous zone.
