Practice question
A company proposes a wind-energy installation at an undisputed point one hundred nautical miles from the Philippine baselines, outside every territorial sea. It contends that Philippine EEZ rights cover only fish and petroleum. Which answer follows Section 7?
- The statute also covers economic energy production from winds and jurisdiction over installations.
- The objection is correct because renewable energy is always excluded from the EEZ regime.
- Only a foreign flag State can authorize any fixed EEZ installation.
- An EEZ has no economic-resource regime.
- The installation automatically creates a new sovereign island State.
