Sir,
I have the honour to inform you herewith that the Government of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics will permit fishing vessels registered in Norway and manned by Norwegian crews to engage in fishing in the territorial waters of the Soviet Union, in accordance with the provisions of the Soviet-Norwegian Agreement on Fishing initialed on 22 February 1962, at a distance of eight to twelve miles from the shore in a zone bounded to the south-west by a straight line joining Cape Nemetsky to Cape Kibergnes, to the east by a meridian passing through Cape Nemetsky, and to the south by a line drawn in an arc at a distance of eight miles from Cape Nemetsky, as shown on the map annexed to the said Agreement. The Government of the Soviet Union will grant this right to Norwegian nationals so long as Soviet vessels have the right to carry on loading and unloading operations connected with fishing in the region of Jan Mayen Island at a distance of four miles from the base line.
