The Governments of the three countries are agreed that if, before the Agreement comes into force, any of the Contracting States makes changes in its fishery limits in the area to which the Agreement relates, the said State shall not object if vessels of the other two countries continue to engage in fishing in the said area to a distance of four nautical miles (1 nautical mile = 1,852 metres) from the baseline of the territorial sea. This obligation shall cease if the Agreement does not come into force within two years after the changes are made.
