between the Government of the Kingdom of Denmark together with the Home Government of the Faroe Islands, on the one hand, and the Government of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, on the other hand, relating to the Maritime Delimitation in the area between the Faroe Islands and the United Kingdom
The Government of the Kingdom of Denmark together with the Home Government of the Faroe Islands, on the one hand, and the Government of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, on the other hand, ("the Parties"),
Having agreed to delimit the continental shelf in the area between the Faroe Islands and the United Kingdom within 200 nautical miles from the baselines from which the territorial sea of each Party is measured ("the Area"),
Having further agreed to delimit the waters superjacent to the continental shelf in part of the Area and to establish a special regime for the remaining part ("the Special Area"),
Have agreed as follows:
Article 1
(1) The continental shelf boundary in the Area shall be a series of geodetic lines joining, in the order specified, the points listed in Schedule A to this Agreement.
(2) By way of illustration, the boundary line and the points listed in Schedule A have been drawn on chart A annexed to this Agreement.
(3) In the Northeast the termination point of the boundary line is the equidistant tripoint between the Faroe Islands, Norway and the United Kingdom. In the Southwest the termination point of the boundary line is a point situated 200 nautical miles calculated from the territorial sea basepoints on Mykineshólmur and on St. Kilda, respectively.
Article 2
(1) If an accumulation of petroleum or any other mineral deposit is found in or on the continental shelf of one of the Parties and the other Party is of the opinion that the accumulation or deposit extends onto its continental shelf, the latter Party may, by presenting the evidence upon which the opinion is based, submit this to the first-mentioned Party.
(2) If such an opinion is submitted, the Parties shall initiate discussions on the extent of the accumulation or deposit and the possibility for exploitation. At these discussions, the Party initiating them shall support its opinion by evidence from geophysical data and geological data, including in due course drilling data, and both Parties shall use their best efforts to ensure that all relevant information is made available for the purposes of the discussions. If it is established during these discussions that the accumulation or deposit extends onto the continental shelf of both Parties and also that the minerals in the continental shelf of the one Party can be exploited wholly or in part from the continental shelf of the other Party or that the exploitation of the minerals in the continental shelf of the one Party would affect the possibility of exploitation of the minerals in the continental shelf of the other Party, agreement shall be reached at the request of one of the Parties particularly as to the manner in which any such accumulation or deposit shall be most effectively exploited and the proceeds relating thereto shall be apportioned.
(3) The Parties shall make every effort to resolve any disagreement as rapidly as possible. If however the Parties fail to agree during the discussions, they shall jointly consider all of the options for resolving the impasse including inviting the opinion of independent experts.
Article 3
(1) The boundary which separates the respective fishing zones of the Parties in the Area and within which the Parties exercise, or will exercise, in addition to those pertaining to the continental shelf, any sovereign rights or jurisdiction which are conferred on coastal states by international law, shall be geodetic lines joining, in the order specified, the points listed as points A to L and as points R to T in Schedule B to this Agreement.
(2) By way of illustration, the boundary line and the points listed in Schedule B have been drawn on chart B annexed to this Agreement.
Article 4
(1) In the area between the points L and R listed in Schedule B, the Special Area, each Party is entitled to exercise its jurisdiction and rights in accordance with the provisions of Articles 5, 6 and 7.
(2) The Special Area is described by the co-ordinates in Schedule C to this Agreement and, by way of illustration, drawn on chart C annexed to this Agreement.
Article 5
With regard to fisheries jurisdiction and rights in the Special Area each Party shall continue as heretofore:
Article 6
With regard to the exercise of its continental shelf jurisdiction and rights in the Special Area, each Party shall:
Article 7
With regard to the exercise in the Special Area of jurisdiction and rights which are conferred on coastal states by international law, other than such jurisdiction or rights that follow directly from continental shelf or fisheries jurisdiction, each Party shall refrain from exercising such jurisdiction or rights without the agreement of the other Party and shall co-operate with the other Party, notably on measures to protect the marine environment.
Article 8
Each Party may through the diplomatic channel call for consultations with the other Party with a view to reaching agreement on any issue pertaining to Articles 5, 6 and 7 of this Agreement. Such consultations shall be held not later than sixty days after receipt of the request.
Article 9
When in the present Agreement reference is made to "licence issued by the other Party" this wording shall in the case of the United Kingdom be understood to include licences issued by the United Kingdom, another Member State of the European Community or the European Commission on behalf of the European Community.
Article 10
This Agreement shall be without prejudice to any claim of either Party outside the Area.
Article 11
(1) Each Party shall notify the other of the completion of its internal procedures required to enable this Agreement to enter into force.
(2) This Agreement shall enter into force on the date of receipt of the later of these notifications.
In witness whereof the undersigned, being duly authorised thereto by their respective Governments, have signed this Agreement.
