 </span></blockquote>The treaty with the US may only have been signed in 1993, but <br/>
presumably the terms were negotiated for some time before that. The <br/>
concept of EEZs was only formalised in 1982, but I don&#39;t think the <br/>
Anguillan constitutional status was finally resolved until after that <br/>
(after the divorce from St Kitts and Nevis).<br/>
<br/>
The BVI is probably the more likely candidate for independence (or <br/>
maybe even union with the USVI) these days, but it doesn&#39;t really <br/>
seem to be an issue at the moment.<br/>
