ABSTRACT
The construction and operation of the Fixed Link, as the Channel Tunnel is formally know as, was agreed between the French and UK Governments under the Treaty of Canterbury in 1986. By this Treaty, the French and UK Governments allowed the construction and the operation, by private concessionaires, of a fixed twin bore tunnel rail link, with associated service tunnel, under the Channel between Cheriton in Kent and Fréthun in the Pas-de-Calais Region.
