Abstract

79 Germany Germany's Proclamation of an Exclusive Economic Zone Germany was one of the parties of the UN Law of the Sea Convention of 1982 (LOSC) when that instrument entered into force on 16 November 1994. Immediately before that date the German Federal Government published on 18 November 1994, its proclamation concerning the extension of the breadth of the German territorial seal and on 8 December 1994 its proclamation concerning the establishment of an Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ).2 Both the extension of the territorial sea and the establishment of the EEZ came into force on 1 January 1995; they were documented in the official Maritime Boundaries Charts no.2920 (North Sea) and no.2921 (Baltic Sea) edited by the Bundesamt fur Seeschiffahrt und Hydrographie. Germany thus was the first state to organize its coastal regime under the LOSC in force. It could do so because the deposit of the 60th instrument of ratification to the LOSC on 16 November 1993 by Guyana according to Article 308 (1) LOSC had outlined clear-cut schedules for action. Germany had been among those countries which in the post-war conferences on the law of the sea fought for the freedom of the high seas. Reluctant
