Doussis E. L’accord du 17 février 2003 entre Chypre et l’Egypte sur la délimitation de leurs zones économiques exclusives: bref commentaire. Annuaire du droit de la mer. 2004:143-155.
Abstract:
This article deals with the economic exclusive zone delimitation agreement reached on the17th February 2003 between Cyprus and Egypt. It is the first agreement of this kind concluded in the Mediterranean, where delimitation issues are particularly delicate, not only because of the limited maritime space but also due to the particularly conflictual atmosphere which reigns notably in the Eastern basin of this sea.
The article analyses, in the first place, the content of the agreement and the reactions generated by its conclusion. Furthermore, it argues on its side effects, namely the revival of the discourse concerning the exclusive economic zones issue in the Mediterranean sea.
