The line bounding the English Channel and its approaches to the southwest and the Bay of Biscay to the south and west shall be a line which:
(i)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)(vi)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, as defined in the arbitration decision of 30 June 1977;
(vii)(vii)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
(viii)(viii)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 of the other waters covered by the Agreement

(i)
commences at the point 48° 10' 00.00" N 0° 00' 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° 00' 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 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 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;
(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.
4.
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).”
