<p>The United Nations is likely to examine claims to the ownership of the remote islet of Rockall within weeks after Denmark made a submission, it has been reported.</p>
<p>Ownership of the uninhabited outcrop in the Atlantic has long been disputed by Britain, Ireland, Denmark and the Faroe Islands and Iceland.</p>
<p>Denmark and the Faroe Islands made a submission to the UN Commission on the Limits of the Continental Shelf (CLCS) early in December.</p>
<p>A statement on the UN website says that it will be considered at the commission&#8217;s meeting in New York in March.</p>
<p>The Guardian reported that the CLCS is likely to review all four competing applications that month.</p>
<p>Rockall is situated around 300 miles west of Scotland and is 19m high, 25m across and 30m wide.</p>
<p>It is believed natural oil and gas may be found in the seabed around Rockall, while there are also fishing grounds around it.</p>
<p>The four nations have been involved in quadrilateral talks on the ownership issue for several years, with more scheduled for May.</p>
<p>A Foreign Office spokeswoman said: &#8220;We note that Denmark made its submission in respect of &#8216;the Faroe-Rockall Plateau Region&#8217; on 2 December.</p>
<p>&#8220;We are presently studying this, and the content of the Note Verbale which Denmark presented to the Secretary-General of the United Nations, also on 2 December.&#8221;</p>
