In the waters bordering Germany in the North Sea (the Lister Dyb), the boundary line between Denmarl< and Germany is regulated by the Protocol of3 September 1921 concerning the Delimitation of the Boundary between Denmark and Germany, cf. Executive Order No. 497 of 21 December 1923 (Legal Law Reports A) concerning the boundary between Denmark and Germany. The drawing of the boundary line is the subject of consultations with Germany. In the area covered by the consultations, the hitherto applicable outer limits of the territorial sea shall, however, be maintained until further notice. (2) Denmark exercises sovereign rights as regards the exploration and exploitation of the natural resources of the seabed and subsoil north of the boundary line laid down in the Agreement of 9 June 1965 between Denmark and the Federal Republic of Germany concerning the delimitation of the continental shelf in the North S~ in the coastal area, cf. Executive Order No. 37 of 11 June 1966 (Legal Law Reports C). This boundary line serves also, until further notice, as the southern boundary for Denmark's fishing rights in pursuance of the Agreement of 30 November 1967 between Denmark and the Federal Republic of Germany concerning the fishing rights in the Danish fisheries territory, cf. Executive Order No. 23 of 12 February 1968 (Legal Law Reports C). (3) In the waters bordering Germany in the Baltic Sea (the Flensborg Fjord), the boundary lµie between Denmark and Germany is regulated by the Protocol of 3 September 1921 concerning the Delimitll.tion of the Boundary between Denmark and Germany, cf. Executive Order No. 497 of 21 December 1923 (Legal Law Reports A) concerning the boundary between Denmark and Gennany. The drawing of the boundary line is the subject of consultations with Germany. 6. The baselines mentioned in section 2 and the outer limits of the external territorial sea mentionedlin section 1 and sections 3-5 shall be depicted by the National Survey and Cadastre in charts available to the public. 7. A list of the coordinates mentioned in this Executive Order shall be deposited with the Secretary-General of the United Nations. All coordinates are indicated in geodetic datum WGS 84. 8.
