| Résumé : | Finland and Sweden recently completed their maritime boundary by concluding a second maritime delimitation agreement in 1994. Only the injunction point with Estonia still remains to be settled. This new agreement, which relates only to the Åland Sea and the northern Baltic Sea, relies heavily on its 1972 predecessor, which only concerned continental shelf jurisdiction. The latter agreement not only played an important role in the 1994 agreement itself, but its field of application was also extended to fishery and exclusive economic zone jurisdiction in other areas by means of an attached protocol. Two main problems had to be solved by this new agreement: The first relates to the relationship between continental shelf and fishery jurisdiction, which strained relations ever since the parties started claiming extended fishery zones. Second, a solution had to be found concerning the issue of the Bogskär island group. |
