Dear Ilan,

You can have the 'Peak record' news for the year 2015. I will have the EEZ /sea bed record. If you are lucky you will find some snow on your mountain, me however???. You know how rich the sea bed can be. I will have that. Happy Xmas and good new year wishes to all.

Best regards

Gbenga

If none of these examples involved a mountain top, then I stand by my original assertion that Norway-Finland might be "The PEAK of international boundary collaboration". Remember that several examples below could elicit the reaction "Those dam(n) borders". Meanwhile, ceding presumably flat land for GVA airport is not plane/plain (two meanings for each word) stupid. The Nigeria-Benin exchange was EEZy.

On this list, pun-dits know no (international) boundaries.

Thank ya, thank ya, tell a friend, I'm here all week (from a punny perspective, all weak. It's pure pun-ishment).

Dear Ian and colleagues

Many thanks.

Just to note that 

- France and Switzelrand agreed in 1994 a French Zone of control near Geneva Airpot located  in Switzerland:


-Nepal agreed to let temporarly India use its territory during the construction of  Sarada dam

- USSR and Finland (again...) agreed a provisional use ("bail" in French) of Finland in Soviet part of Saimaa channel and the Island of Maly Vysotsky, 

- USSR and Finland (once again...) agreed to a definitive exchange of sovereignty due to hidroelectric plant Janisoski adn Niskakovski dam

- Italy and Switzerland exchanged small portions of territory in order to facilitated access to Breggia torrent

- France and Switzerland exchanged small portions of territory due do Emesson artificial bassin and Chatelard hidroelectric plant.

- Iran and USSR exhanged portions of territory near Mil-Mugan dam.

There are other examples between Romania and USSR near Stinca Costesi hidroelectric plan, and some others arrangements.

When you have  a good relations with your neighbour, things are easy to negociate.

Yours sincerely

Nicolas Boeglin
