No, I mentioned that we were about to create the baseline from this
statute, and whilst still researching which was the system the
coordinates, someone else imported the boundaries from a different
official site (European Environment Agency, an agency of the European
Union):
http://www.eea.europa.eu/data-and-maps/data/maritime-boundaries

and AFAIK nobody then checked if those were corresponding to the
official Italian version (I guess everyone was asuming they were
correct, as they were "official").
