Annex to the Agreement for Co-operation in Dealing with Pollution of the North Sea by Oil and Other Harmful Substances, 1983

Description of the Atlantic boundary of the North Sea area and of the zones referred to in Article 6 of this Agreement

(As amended by the agreement between Denmark, Norway and Sweden of 25 January 1994¹⁾, the decision of the Contracting Parties of 21 September 2002 and the modifications under article 17 made by Denmark, France, the Federal Republic of Germany, the Netherlands, Norway and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland on 21 September 2002)

THE ATLANTIC BOUNDARY OF THE NORTH SEA AREA

Part I The line bounding the English Channel and its approaches to the south and west

The line bounding the English Channel and its approaches to the south and west shall be a line which:

• (i) commences at the southernmost point of the island of Ushant;

• (ii) from that point, then follows the parallel of latitude 48° 27' 00.00” N westwards to the point where it intersects with a line (hereafter referred to as “the 1983 Bonn Agreement line”) drawn 50 nautical miles west of a line joining the Isles of Scilly and the island of Ushant;

• (iii) from that point of intersection, then follows the 1983 Bonn Agreement line northwards as far as its intersection with the line marking the boundary of the continental shelf between France and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, as defined in the arbitration decision of 30 June 1977;

• (iv) from that point of intersection, then follows the line of that boundary westwards as far as the point 48° 10' 00.00” N 9° 22' 15.91” W; and

• (v) from that point, then follows the parallel of latitude 48° 10' 00.00” N westwards as far as the point 48° 10' 00.00” N 10° 0' 00.00” W.

Part II The line bounding to the west and north the other waters covered by the Agreement

The line bounding to the west and north the other waters covered by the Agreement, comprising the Irish Sea, the Celtic Sea, the Malin Sea, the Great Minch, the Little Minch, part of the Norwegian sea and parts of the North East Atlantic, shall be a line which

• (i) commences at the point 48° 10' 00.00” N 10° 0' 00.00” W;

• (ii) from that point, then follows the western boundary of the Irish sea pollution responsibility zone (that is, a line which is at every point 200 nautical miles distant from the nearest point on the baselines established for the purposes of the Maritime Jurisdiction Acts, 1959 to 1988, of Ireland) as far as the point 56° 42' 00.00” N 14° 0' 00.00” W;

• (iii) from that point, then follows the western boundary of the zone established by the Merchant Shipping (Prevention of Pollution) (Limits) Regulations 1996 of the United Kingdom, as amended by the Merchant Shipping (Prevention of Pollution) (Limits) Regulations 1997 (that is, the lines joining the points listed in Table 1 below in the order in which they are listed) as far as the point 63°38'10.68”N and 0°30'00.00”W; and

• (iv) from that point follows the parallel of latitude 63°38'10.68”N eastwards to the coast of Norway.

Part IV Boundaries of the Zones of Joint Responsibility

The zones of joint responsibility shall be as follows:

• 1. Zone of Joint Responsibility of Belgium, France, the Netherlands and United Kingdom

  The sea area between the parallels of latitude 51°51' 52.1267” N and 51° 6' 00.00”N.

• 2. Zone of Joint Responsibility of France and United Kingdom

  The English Channel south-west of parallel 51°6' 00.00” N to a line which:

  • a) commences at the westernmost point of the Isles of Scilly, and joins that point with the point 49°52'00.00”N 7° 44' 00.00” W;

  • b) from that point, follows the 1983 Bonn Agreement line (as defined in Part I above) southwards to its intersection with the parallel of latitude 48° 27' 00.00” N; and

  • c) follows that parallel of latitude eastwards to the southernmost point of the isle of Ushant.

• 3. Zone of Joint Responsibility of Denmark and Germany

  The sea area bounded by:

  • a) on the south, the parallel of latitude 54° 30' 00.00” N westwards from the coast of Germany;

  • b) on the west, the meridian of longitude 6° 30' 00.00” E;

  • c) on the north, the parallel of latitude 55° 50' 00.00” N westwards from the coast of Denmark; and

  • d) on the east, the coastline, including the Wadden sea area.

• 4. Zone of Joint Responsibility of Germany and the Netherlands

  The sea area bounded by:

  • a) on the west, the meridian of longitude 6° 0' 00.00” E northwards from the coast of the Netherlands;

  • b) on the north, the parallel of latitude 54° 0' 00.00” N;

  • c) on the east, the meridian of longitude 7° 15' 00.00” E, northwards from the coast of the Federal Republic of Germany; and

  • d) on the south, the coastline, including the Wadden sea area.

Verklaringen, voorbehouden en bezwaren

EU (Europese Unie), 20 april 2010

Upon the entry into force of the Treaty of Lisbon on 1 December 2009 the European Union replaces and succeeds the European Community (Article 1 (3) of the Treaty on European Union). The European Union, with effect from 1 December 2009, thus replaces the European Community as Contracting Party to the Bonn Agreement.
