海上共同开发的先存权问题研究

Study on Pre-Existing Right Issues of Offshore Joint Development

先存权问题的产生主要有政治、经济、法律和技术等方面的原因。沿海国因在争议海域单方面颁发勘探开发许可证而产生的先存权,是与沿海国承担的相互克制的义务相冲突的。海上共同开发中先存权问题的处理方式主要有明确承认先存权、不正式承认先存权、先存权重新授权、回避先存权问题和单方废除先存权等。中国政府可以分别采取阻断、纳入和顾及等策略,来应对今后可能出现的各种先存权问题。

The pre--existing right issues are due to political, economic, legal and technical factors. The pre--existing right caused by unilateral exploration and exploitation in disputed maritime areas is in conflict with obligations to mutual limit for coastal state. There are several methods for dealing with the pre--existing right issues, such as safeguard of the pre--existing right, cancel the pre--existing right,etc. China government can deal with the pre--existing right issues by the way of interruption, adoption and consideration.
