AGREEMENT

for Cooperation in Dealing with Pollution of the North Sea Area by Oil and Other Harmful Substances including Air Pollution Caused by Shipping

▼B

(Bonn Agreement)

THE GOVERNMENTS OF THE KINGDOM OF BELGIUM, THE KINGDOM OF DENMARK, THE FRENCH REPUBLIC, THE FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF GERMANY, ►M1 IRELAND, ◄ THE KINGDOM OF THE NETHERLANDS, THE KINGDOM OF NORWAY, ►M2 THE KINGDOM OF SPAIN, ◄ THE KINGDOM OF SWEDEN, THE UNITED KINGDOM OF GREAT BRITAIN AND NORTHERN IRELAND AND THE EUROPEAN ECONOMIC COMMUNITY,

▼M1

Recognising that pollution of the sea by oil and other harmful substances as well as air pollution caused by shipping in the North Sea area may threaten the marine environment, biodiversity, human health and the corresponding interests of coastal States,

Noting that such types of pollution have many sources and that casualties and other incidents at sea are of great concern,

Convinced that an ability to combat such types of pollution as well as active co-operation and mutual assistance among States are necessary for the protection of their coasts and related interests,

Welcoming the progress that has already been achieved within the framework of the Agreement for Co-operation in Dealing with Pollution of the North Sea by Oil, signed at Bonn on 9 June 1969,

Wishing to develop further mutual assistance and co-operation in monitoring and combating the different types of pollution,

▼B

HAVE AGREED AS FOLLOWS:

▼M1

Article 1

This Agreement shall apply within the North Sea area, as defined in Article 2:

(1)

whenever the presence or the prospective presence of oil or other harmful substances polluting or threatening to pollute the sea presents a grave and imminent danger to the coast or related interests of one or more Contracting Parties; or

(2)

whenever the presence or the prospective presence of emissions caused by shipping within the meaning of Annex VI to the MARPOL Convention polluting or threatening to pollute the marine environment contributes to the eutrophication of the sea and threatens the health of people who live on the coast or of living things in the sea; and

(3)

to surveillance conducted as an aid to detecting and combating pollution as set out in paragraphs 1 and 2 of this Article and to preventing violations of anti-pollution regulations.

▼M2

For the purpose of this Agreement, the North Sea area means the area of sea comprising:

(a)

the North Sea proper, southwards of latitude 61° 0'00.00" N;

(b)

the Skagerrak, the southern limit of which is determined east of the Skaw by the latitude 57° 44'43.00" N;

(c)

▼B

Article 3

The Contracting Parties consider that protection against pollution of the kind referred to in Article 1 of this Agreement is a matter which calls for active cooperation between them.

The Contracting Parties shall jointly develop and establish guidelines for the practical, operational and technical aspects of joint action.

Article 4

Contracting Parties undertake to inform the other Contracting Parties about:

(a)

their national organization for dealing with pollution of the kind referred to in Article 1 of this Agreement;

(b)

the competent authority responsible for receiving and dispatching reports of such pollution and for dealing with questions concerning measures of mutual assistance between Contracting Parties:

▼M1

Article 5

Whenever a Contracting Party is aware of a casualty or the presence of oil or other harmful substances including ship emissions in the North Sea area likely to constitute a serious threat to the coast or related interests of any other Contracting Party, it shall inform that Party without delay through its competent authority.

The Contracting Parties undertake to request the masters of all ships flying their flags and pilots of aircraft registered in their countries to report without delay through the channels which may be most practicable and adequate in the circumstances:

(a)

all casualties causing or likely to cause pollution of the marine environment;

(b)

the presence, nature and extent of oil or other harmful substances likely to constitute a serious threat to the coast or related interests of one or more Contracting Parties.

The Contracting Parties shall make use of a standard form for the reporting of pollution as required under paragraph 1 of this Article.

Article 6

For the sole purpose of this Agreement the North Sea area is divided into the zones described in the Annex to this Agreement.

The Contracting Party within whose zone a situation of the kind described in Article 1 paragraph 1 of this Agreement occurs, shall make the necessary assessments of the nature and extent of any casualty or, as the case may be, of the type and approximate quantity of oil or other harmful substances and the direction and speed of movement thereof.

The Contracting Party concerned shall immediately inform all the other Contracting Parties through their competent authorities of its assessments and of any action which it has taken to deal with the oil or other harmful substances and shall keep these substances under observation as long as they are present in its zone.

The obligations of the Contracting Parties under the provisions of this Article with respect to the zones of joint responsibility shall be the subject of special technical arrangements to be concluded between the Parties concerned. These arrangements shall be communicated to the other Contracting Parties.

▼B

Article 7

A Contracting Party requiring assistance to deal with pollution or the prospective presence of pollution at sea or on its coast may call on the help of the other Contracting Parties. Contracting Parties requesting assistance shall specify the kind of assistance they require.

Article 8

The provisions of this Agreement shall not be interpreted as in any way prejudicing the rights and obligations of the Contracting Parties under international law, especially in the field of the prevention and combating of marine pollution.

In no case shall the division into zones referred to in Article 6 of this Agreement be invoked as a precedent or argument in any matter concerning sovereignty or jurisdiction.

PART IV

BOUNDARIES OF THE ZONES OF JOINT RESPONSIBILITY

The zones of joint responsibility shall be as follows:

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.

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.

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;

(b)

to the west, the meridian of longitude 6° 30' 00.00" E;

(c)

to the north, the parallel of latitude 55° 50' 00.00" N westwards from the coast of Denmark; and

(d)

to the east, the low water line (based on Chart Datum Lowest Astronomical Tide (LAT)), including the Wadden sea area.

Zone of Joint Responsibility of Germany and the Netherlands

The sea area bounded by:

(a)

to the west, the meridian of longitude 6° 0' 00.00" E (ED50) northwards from the coast of the Netherlands;

(b)

to the north, the parallel of latitude 54° 0' 00.00" N (ED50);

(c)

to the east, the meridian of longitude 7° 15' 00.00" E (ED50), northwards from the coast of Germany; and

(d)

to the south, the low water line (based on Chart Datum Lowest Astronomical Tide (LAT)), including the Wadden sea area.

PART V

INTERPRETATION

The positions of the points referred to in this Annex shall be determined according to the European Geodesic System (1950 version).
