Abstract
A Convention to establish the boundary between the French economic zone around the Tuamotu Archipelago and the fisheries zone around Pitcairn, Henderson, Ducie and Oeno Islands. The boundary is based on a line of equidistance. This line has been determined using the baselines from which the territorial sea of each country is measured (art. 1). The boundary line is formed by loxodromic arcs linking, in the order in which they are given, the points identified by their co-ordinates (follow co-ordinates). The geographical co-ordinates given in this article are expressed in the geodesic reference system WGS 72 (World Geodesic System) (art. 2).
