Source: http://www.nafo.int/publications/resolutions/res4.html, downloaded 20070630. (Resolution 4 Concerning Modification of the Western Boundary of Subarea 1 of the Convention Area (amends Annex III of the Convention))
The General Council
Noting the resolution of the Scientific Council of March 1979 concerning the proposed amendment;
Noting that the external limits of the Canadian and Danish fishing zones, respectively, in the area between Canada and Greenland up to 75º North latitude coincide;
Noting that the western boundary of NAFO Subarea 1 approximates to, but does not follow, the coinciding limits in the area;
Noting that the difference between the western boundary of NAFO Subarea 1 and the coinciding limits creates difficulties for the coastal states concerned in the assignment of catches to their respective areas of jurisdiction; and
Acting pursuant to Article XX, paragraph 2 of the Convention, hereby decides that the western boundary of Subarea 1 be modified effective 1 January 1980 to conform to the coinciding limits in the area by amending Annex III to the Convention so that the description of Subarea 0 contained in paragraph 1 (a) and the description of Subarea 1in paragraph 2 (a) of the Annex read as follows:
1 (a) Subarea 0
That portion of the Convention Area bounded on the south by a line extending due east from a point at 61*00' north latitude and 65*00' west longitude to a point at 61*00' north latitude and 59*00' west longitude, thence in a southeasterly direction along a rhumb line to a point at 60*12' north latitude and 57*13' west longitude; thence bounded on the east by a series of geodisic lines joining the following points:
