Agreement between the Government of the Republic of France and the Government of Fiji relating to the delimitation of their Economic Zone.

The delimitation between the economic zone of the Republic of France around the territories of New Caledonia and Wallis and Futuna and the exclusive economic zone of Fiji is based on the line of equidistance, with certain minor divergencies for administrative convenience. The line has been determined by using the nearest points of the baselines from which the territorial sea of each country is measured. In the case of France, the baseline is drawn in conformity with the Acts of 24th December 1971 and 28th December 1976. In the case of Fiji, the baseline is the archipelagic baseline drawn in accordance with the Fiji Marine Spaces Act of 15th December 1977. The line of delimitation determined in accordance with Article 1 is formed by the arcs of geodesics joining the points listed in Annex I to this Agreement, in the sequence given in the said Annex, which is an integral part of the Agreement. This line has been drawn for illustrative purposes on the Chart forming Annex II to this Agreement. This Agreement is without prejudice to sovereign rights of any neighbouring State in the areas to which its applies.
