3. When entering or leaving the economic zone, vessels must
pass through the nearest control areas on their way and inform
the fish-protection agencies 24 hours before passing the
control areas.
4. When approaching any of the above control areas, the
captain of a foreign vessel must use Channel 16 VHF of the
