WRITTEN QUESTION P-3011/03

by Elspeth Attwooll (ELDR) to the Commission

(8 October 2003)

Subject: Fisheries: national boundaries within the EU’s EEZ

In the hypothetical situation that national boundaries were to be established within the European Union’s
Exclusive Economic Zone, where within the ICES zones IIa, IV (a, b and c), Vb (1 and 2), VI (a and b), VII
(a, d, e, f, g, h and j) and XII would those boundaries lie?

Answer given by Mr Fischler on behalf of the Commission

(24 October 2003)

The Commission informs the Honourable Member that the Member States are responsible for defining
their exclusive economic zones and the boundaries between sea areas where such a definition is necessary
as a result of opposing or adjacent coastlines. They are defined in accordance with the rules of the
international law of the sea.

The Member States have adopted national legislation defining the boundaries in the zones referred to in
the Honourable Member’s question, with the exception of International Council for the Exploration of the
Sea (ICES) zone XII, which only covers international waters.
