commences at the western point of the coast of Spain 42° 30' 04.25" N 8° 52' 18.22" W;










(ii)


from that point, then follows the loxodromic line until the point 42° 30' 04.32" N 10° 24' 55.16" W;










(iii)


from that point, then follows the loxodromic line until the point 46° 00' 04.07" N 10° 24' 54.86" W;










(iv)


from that point, then follows the loxodromic line until the point 46° 00' 04.06" N 9° 59' 54.88" W;










(v)


from that point, then follows the line until the intersection between the parallel of latitude 48° 27' 00.00" N and the line (hereafter referred to as “the 1983 Bonn Agreement line”) drawn 50 nautical miles west of a line joining the isle of Ushant and the Isles of Scilly;










(vi)

(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 0° 30'00.00" W; and

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 the 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 the United Kingdom
The English Channel south-west of the parallel of latitude 51° 32' 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 a line drawn 50 nautical miles west of a line joining the Isles of Scilly and the isle of Ushant 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)


to the south, the parallel of latitude 54° 30' 00.00" N westwards from the coast of Germany;
