The Greek EEZ and the Skopjean Agreement - N. Lygeros

Translated from the Greek by Athina Kehagias

For all those who don't yet believe in the value of the Greek EEZ, the Skopjean Agreement could constitute a starting point for their awakening. Everybody of course knows that Skopje doesn't have access to the sea, whereas Greece obtains the second largest Mediterranean EEZ after Italy. Within the Skopjean Agreement in the context of economic cooperation the Article 13 exists. Taking into account that the second Contracting Party is an enclosed State, the Contracting Parties shall be guided through the relevant provisions of the United Nations Convention in regards to the Law of the Sea which will have practical application, but would apply in cases when they will be entering into agreements as they are referred upon in Article 18 of this Agreement.
