*Statement: "In signing the Convention on the Continental Shelf of 29 April 1958, the 

 Federal Republic of Germany declares with reference to article 5, paragraph 1 of the 

 Convention on the Continental Shelf that in the opinion of the Federal Government article 

 5, paragraph 1 guarantees the exercise of fishing rights (Fischerei) in the waters above the 

 continental shelf in the manner hitherto generally in practice." 



^ "In signing this Convention on the Continental Shelf, I am Instructed by the Iranian 

 Government to make the following reservations : 



"(a) Article 4.- with respect to the phrase 'the coastal State may not impede the laying 

 or maintenance of submarine cables or pipe-lines on the continental shelf, the Iranian 

 Government reserves Its rights to allow or not to allow the laying or maintenance of sub- 

 marine cables or pipe-lines on Its continental shelf. 



"(b) Article 6: with respect to the phrase 'and unless another boundary line is justified 

 by special circumstances' Included in paragraphs 1 and 2 of this article, the Iranian Gov- 

 ernment accepts this phrase on the understanding that one method of determining the 

 boundary line in special circumstances would be that of measurement from the high water 

 mark.
