85. Since the 1990s, China and the Philippines have reached the following consensus on managing their disputes: first, they will exercise restraint in handling relevant disputes and refrain from taking actions that may lead to an escalation; second, they will stay committed to managing disputes through bilateral consultation mechanisms; third, they commit themselves to pursuing practical maritime cooperation and joint development; and fourth, the relevant disputes should not affect the healthy growth of bilateral relations and peace and stability in the South China Sea region.文章源自英文巴士-https://www.en84.com/7929.html
86、中菲还在《宣言》中达成如下共识：保持自我克制，不采取使争议复杂化、扩大化和影响和平与稳定的行动；在和平解决领土和管辖权争议前，本着合作与谅解的精神，努力寻求各种途径建立互信；探讨或开展在海洋环保、海洋科学研究、海上航行和交通安全、搜寻与救助、打击跨国犯罪等方面的合作。
86. In the DOC, China and the Philippines also reached the following consensus: to exercise self-restraint in the conduct of activities that would complicate or escalate disputes and affect peace and stability; to intensify efforts, pending the peaceful settlement of territorial and jurisdictional disputes, to seek ways, in the spirit of cooperation and understanding, to build trust and confidence; and to explore or undertake cooperative activities including marine environmental protection, marine scientific research, safety of navigation and communication at sea, search and rescue operation and combating transnational crime.
87、中菲曾就管控分歧、开展海上务实合作取得积极进展。
87. China and the Philippines have made some progress in managing their differences and conducting practical maritime cooperation.
88、1999年3月，中国和菲律宾举行关于在南海建立信任措施工作小组首次会议，双方发表的《中菲建立信任措施工作小组会议联合公报》指出，“双方承诺根据广泛接受的国际法原则包括联合国海洋法公约，通过协商和平解决争议，……双方同意保持克制，不采取可能导致事态扩大化的行动。”
88. During the first China-Philippines Experts Group Meeting on Confidence-Building Measures held in March 1999, the two sides issued a joint statement, pointing out that, “the two sides agreed that the dispute should be peacefully settled through consultation in accordance with the generally-accepted principles of international law including the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, [... and to] exercise self-restraint and not to take actions that might escalate the situation.”
89、2001年4月，中菲发表的《第三次建立信任措施专家组会议联合新闻声明》指出，“双方认识到两国就探讨南海合作方式所建立的双边磋商机制是富有成效的，双方所达成的一系列谅解与共识对维护中菲关系的健康发展和南海地区的和平与稳定发挥了建设性作用。”
89. In the Joint Press Statement of the Third China-Philippines Experts Group Meeting on Confidence-Building Measures released in April 2001, it is stated that, “the two sides noted that the bilateral consultation mechanism to explore ways of cooperation in the South China Sea has been effective. The series of understanding and consensus reached by the two sides have played a constructive role in the maintenance of the sound development of China-Philippines relations and peace and stability of the South China Sea area.”
90、2004年9月，在中国和菲律宾领导人的共同见证下，中国海洋石油总公司和菲律宾国家石油公司签署《南中国海部分海域联合海洋地震工作协议》。经中菲双方同意，2005年3月，中国、菲律宾、越南三国国家石油公司签署《南中国海协议区三方联合海洋地震工作协议》，商定三国的石油公司在三年协议期内，在约14.3万平方千米海域的协议区内完成一定数量的二维和/或三维地震测线的采集和处理工作，对一定数量现有的二维地震测线进行再处理，研究评估协议区的石油资源状况。2007年《中华人民共和国和菲律宾共和国联合声明》表示，“双方认为，南海三方联合海洋地震工作可以成为本地区合作的一个示范。双方同意，可以探讨将下一阶段的三方合作提升到更高水平，以加强本地区建立互信的良好势头。”
90. In September 2004, in the presence of the leaders of China and the Philippines, China National Offshore Oil Corporation (CNOOC) and Philippine National Oil Company (PNOC) signed the Agreement for Joint Marine Seismic Undertaking in Certain Areas in the South China Sea. In March 2005, national oil companies from China, the Philippines and Vietnam signed, with the consent of both China and the Philippines, the Tripartite Agreement for Joint Marine Seismic Undertaking in the Agreement Area in the South China Sea. It was agreed that during an agreement term of three year-period, these oil companies should collect and process certain amount of 2D and/or 3D seismic lines in the agreement area covering about 143,000 square kilometers, re-process certain amount of existing 2D seismic lines, and study and assess the oil resources in the area. The 2007 Joint Statement of the People’s Republic of China and the Republic of the Philippines states that, “both sides agree that the tripartite joint marine seismic undertaking in the South China Sea serves as a model for cooperation in the region. They agreed that possible next steps for cooperation among the three parties should be explored to bring collaboration to a higher level and increase the momentum of trust and confidence in the region.”
91、令人遗憾的是，由于菲律宾方面缺乏合作意愿，中菲信任措施工作小组会议陷于停滞，中菲越三方联合海洋地震考察工作也未能继续。
91. Regrettably, due to the lack of willingness for cooperation from the Philippine side, the China-Philippines Experts Group Meeting on Confidence-Building Measures has stalled, and the China-Philippines-Vietnam tripartite marine seismic undertaking has failed to move forward.
