An initial version of the deal signed in September 2004 was just between the Philippines and China. Vietnam protested and was included in the 2005 JMSU.

“That the Parties designated the joint research as a ‘pre-exploration activity’ is of no moment. Such designation does not detract the fact that the intent and aim of the agreement is to discover petroleum, which is tantamount to exploration,” said the court.
