In relation to access arrangements, under the CFP, EU Member States share access to each other’s Exclusive Economic Zones (EEZs) and territorial (inshore) waters in the following way:
	0 to 6 nautical miles: national boats only, and subject to a specific arrangement between the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland - the voisinage arrangement. There are mutual access arrangements between France and Jersey under the Granville Bay Agreement;
	6 to 12 nautical miles: national boats, and foreign boats operating under historic access arrangements. Boats from Belgium, France, Germany, Netherlands and the Republic of Ireland have had access to the UK 6 to12 mile zone under the London Fisheries Convention (LFC), which is also reflected in the CFP Regulation. UK boats also have some access to the zones of those countries;
	12 to 200 nautical miles: EU waters, shared access between all Member States.
