Note	As sovereignty over this coastline, including Herne and Virginia, is disputed between Western Sahara and Morocco, no credit will be given for operations after 31 January 2001 unless evidence is produced that the operation was authorised by the government with de facto control - copies of the licence and permission to operate from the island are required. Credit will continue to be allowed for operations that took place before 1 February 2001. Nothing in the way that the island is listed should be taken to indicate the IOTA Committee's view as to the legal position on sovereignty.
