Ec maritime zones: The delimitation aspect
Starting from the premise that regional cooperation is best served by settled maritime boundaries, this article looks into the delimitation practice by European Community (EC) states. First the municipal enactments are considered of those member states actually claiming an exclusive economic zone (EEZ). Special emphasis is given to the delimitation provisions. Since not much uniformity can be found in these provisions, the specific boundary agreements that these countries have so far concluded inter se are then analyzed. A geographical distinction is made between the Baltic Sea, the North Sea, the north Atlantic, and the Mediterranean in this respect. The article concludes that not much uniformity can be found in these delimitation agreements either. These boundary questions are therefore believed to continue to burden further EEZ cooperation between EC member states. © 1992 Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.
Maritime Boundaries and Regional Cooperation in the Baltic
The first feature that catches the eye when the Baltic is compared with other regions of the world is that the Baltic Sea area clearly distinguishes itself by the unusual combination of two elements. On the one hand, it is surrounded by nine countries adhering to different political as well as economic systems. On the other hand, apart from a relatively short segment south and southeast of the island of Bornholm between Denmark and Poland, a maritime boundary has been agreed upon in all other areas, at least if one disregards the trijunction points connecting these different lines. In the overwhelming majority of cases, moreover, a single maritime boundary has been established (continental shelf as well as fishery and economic zone). Some doubt may exist with respect to the German-Danish boundary, but the only real exception to this rule is the most southern stretch of the continental shelf delimitation line between Finland and Sweden (West and South of Bogskar), where the municipal legislation of both countries concerning the outer limits of their respective fishery zones corresponds neither inter se nor with respect to the continental shelf boundary. Negotiations on this topic have been initiated between the parties during the fall of 1989. As of today, these negotiations have not yet resulted in a new bilateral boundary agreement. It should also be noted that in all cases of adjacency the territorial sea has been delimited.
