    A detailed three-way treaty between the United Kingdom, France, and Belgium governs border controls, with the establishment of control zones wherein the officers of the other nation may exercise limited customs and law enforcement powers. For most purposes these are at either end of the tunnel, with the French border controls on the UK side of the tunnel and visa versa. For certain city-to-city trains the train itself represents a control zone. A binational emergency plan coordinates UK and French emergency activities.

    AND, sorry folks, I can't seem to find a definite border line under the sea that is the border between the two countries. Any help?
