evidence: The question of Juan de Nova, this 5 km² island in the middle of the Indian Ocean, offers a possible and probable answer to this question. [...] Juan de Nova, one of the scattered islands, an alleged French possession rightly contested by Madagascar, was the subject of the granting of exclusive offshore exploration and production permits by the French government in December 2008 for two blocks named "Juan de Nova EST - JDNE" and "Juan de Nova Maritime Profond - JDNMP". [...] With a distance of 150 km from the Malagasy coast, Juan de Nova should naturally be integrated into Madagascar's 200-mile EEZ. So, in principle, the French and Malagasy EEZs are in TOTAL OVERRIDGE.
