GISCO - Exclusive Economic Zones (EEZ) of the world 2010, Aug. 2012
Under the law of the sea, an exclusive economic zone (EEZ) is a sea zone over which a state has special rights over the exploration and use of marine resources. It stretches from the seaward edge of the state territorial sea out to 200 nautical miles from its coast. The data set has been derived from the World Maritime Boundaries v5.0 dataset from the Flanders Marine Institute (VLIZ) and integrated with the datasets "Communes 2010 – European Commission, Eurostat/GISCO", "Countries 2010, European Commission - Eurostat/GISCO", "Coastlines 2010, European Commission - Eurostat/GISCO". The data set (100K - 60M) is available to EEA due to EEA having a valid EBM v5.0 licence.
These metadata are derived from the original metadata records available at Inspire@EC.

The dataset should be referred to as "Exclusive Economic Zones of the World, 2010, European Commission - Eurostat/GISCO". Access to dataset is restricted to the personnel of the European Commission and its contractors. Access to the dataset by the general public is not possible, due to intellectual property rights. Use is allowed only inside the Commission. The dataset can be used for scientific, educational or research purposes but should not be used for legal, commercial/economical (exploration of natural resources) or navigational purposes. This data set is not based on official sources. We encourage the use of the official Commission disclaimer on all publications ( http://ec.europa.eu/geninfo/legal_notices_en.htm). The source and intellectual property have always to be acknowledged. To this end, an acknowledgement as specified below must be visible on any printed or electronic publication using the data.

The dataset is based on the European Boundary Map v5.0. from EuroGeographics (scale 1:100.000) (for Eurogeographics members) and the Global Administrative Unit Layers (GAUL) 2008 from FAO (UN) (scale 1:1M and smaller). These datasets were integrated in a common repository of geometry (including EEZ boundaries) of which the different datasets were derived. The different scale levels were derived of generalisations of the common repository on 100K scale. This means that within each scale level the feature classes of all these datasets: COMM_2010, NUTS_2010, CNTR_2010, EEZ_2010 and COAS_2010, are fully coherent and compliant. Each scale level in the COAS_2010 dataset consists of 2 feature classes (regions and boundaries). Further information on the validity and lineage is available in the database manual on the INSPIRE@EC group on CIRCABC. https://circabc.europa.eu/w/browse/bf8ae55b-a09b-4f24-a0b8-1f5784e0080c
