I can only add that acc. to
http://www.shom.fr/fr_page/fr_prod_lettre/17/lettre17_5.htm (French
Navy Hydrographic and Oceanographic Service site, this newsletter
bulletin dating from November 19, 2001), talks are underway between
France and the Netherlands reg. the maritime boundaries of both
countries in these waters. So it's not just because Britain may claim
3 instead of 12 nm here that the tripoint is uncertain, to say the

By the way: look also at

is a little map of the St. Pierre & Miquelon EEZ (at "Partage de
