(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,

(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.

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
