&quot;There is an agreed boundary in the Gulf of Finland between the EEZ <br/>

<br/>
Acc. to the UN Law of the Sea website, there is an agreement between <br/>
Estonia and Finland dating from 1996 on the maritime boundary between <br/>
the two EEZ (EZ for Estonia, continental shelf and fishing zone for <br/>
Finland). There is also an agreement from 1994 on the procedure of <br/>
modification of the boundary between the territorial waters of the <br/>
two (I didn&#39;t know there was one; maybe involving islands?).<br/>
<br/>
An EEFIRU tripoint has not been established yet then (this has been <br/>
left open in the EEFI agreement; the same goes for EEFISE).<br/>
<br/>
An EEFISE tripoint has been established however since, in 2001.<br/>

Furthermore, there are these maps I found a long time ago on the <br/>
internet, but it may well be that these are maps of planned (not <br/>
established) changes in the (maritime) boundaries ( <br/>
