Act on the delimitation of the Territorial Sea (No. 200 of 1999).

Article 1 declares that the territorial sea of Denmark consists of the external and internal territorial waters. The external territorial waters extend from the baselines as laid down by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in accordance with comma 3 of section 2 up to twelve nautical miles. The Ministry may also establish an outer limit of less than twelve nautical miles under comma 4 of section 2. In the case of overlapping territorial seas and in absence of an Agreement with a neighbouring State, indicating the contrary, the median line between baselines from which the breadth of the territorial sea of both States is measured shall be the limit of external territorial waters of Denmark. Internal waters are defined in section 3. Innocent passage in the Little Belt, the Great Belt and the Sound shall remain unchanged.
