The so-called “Map of Seville” was created when the EU asked the University of Seville to map the EEZs of European states based on the 1982 Law of the Sea.

It was drawn up in the early 2000s. It records the connection of the Greek and Cypriot EEZs. That is, the maximum limits for Greece and Cyprus are defined, using the coast of each inhabited Greek island – regardless of its size and its proximity to the Turkish coast.
