Today’s dangerous manoeuvres by Chinese government naval assets which aimed at preventing a legal humanitarian mission by the Philippine Bureau of Fisheries in the vicinity of Sabina Shoal is disturbing. The EU trusts that respect for international law including UNCLOS is essential in the South China Sea as anywhere else.
NTF-WPS STATEMENT
Today, Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR) vessel, BRP Datu Sanday (MMOV 3002), encountered aggressive and dangerous maneuvers from eight Chinese maritime forces while operating from Hasa-Hasa Shoal to Escoda Shoal. The actions of the Chinese vessels were aimed at obstructing the BFAR vessel's humanitarian mission to resupply Filipino fishermen with diesel, food and medical supplies.
The BRP Datu Sanday was targeted by the People's Liberation Army Navy(PLAN) 626 and multiple China Coast Guard (CCG) ships, which attempted to encircle and block the humanitarian mission. The CCG vessels made close perilous maneuvers that resulted in ramming, blasted horns, and deployed water cannons against the BFAR vessel, eventually leading to the latter’s engine failure and forcing an early termination of the humanitarian operation.
These unprofessional, aggressive and illegal actions posed serious risks to the safety of the Filipino crew and the fishermen they were meant to serve. Despite these provocative maneuvers, the crew aboard the BFAR vessel maintains high morale and remains safe and unharmed. Claims suggesting that our personnel fell overboard and were subsequently rescued by the Chinese Coast Guard are completely unfounded. This misinformation serves as a clear illustration of the PRC’s willingness to distort the truth and engage in disinformation to bolster its public image.
Hasa-Hasa (Half-Moon) Shoal is located approximately 60 nautical miles from Rizal, Palawan, while Escoda (Sabina) Shoal is about 110 nautical miles away, both well within the Philippines' exclusive economic zone (EEZ).
The Philippine government calls on the People's Republic of China to halt these provocative actions that destabilize regional peace and security. The Philippines remains steadfast in asserting its rights in accordance with the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) and the 2016 Arbitral Award. ###

It's Midsummer’s Eve. 🇫🇮
Almost 19 hours of daylight in Helsinki. And in northern Finland, the next time the sun will set is in late July. Flags fly around the clock, saunas are heated up and bonfires lit.
Happy Midsummer!🌿🌼🌊☀️

👀 South China Sea: Statement by the Spokesperson on recent developments | EEAS eeas.europa.eu/eeas/south-ch… – at Pasay City, National Capital Region
For Finland, I express my concern about these dangerous maneuvers and reiterate my call for respect for international law.
STATEMENT OF THE
NATIONAL TASK FORCE FOR THE WEST PHILIPPINE SEA
17 June 2024 | Manila
Today, the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) and the Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) conducted a routine rotation and resupply (RoRe) mission to BRP SIERRA MADRE (LS 57) at Ayungin Shoal. However, the mission was disrupted by the illegal and aggressive actions of Chinese maritime forces.
The People's Liberation Army-Navy (PLA-N), China Coast Guard (CCG) and Chinese Maritime Militia (CMM) vessels engaged in dangerous maneuvers, including ramming and towing. Despite the illegal, aggressive, and reckless actions by the Chinese maritime forces, our personnel showed restraint and professionalism, refrained from escalating the tension, and carried on with their mission.
We strongly condemn the illegal, aggressive, and reckless actions of the PLA-N, CCG, and CMM. Their actions put at risk the lives of our personnel and damaged our boats, in blatant violation of international law, particularly the United Nations Charter, the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) and the 2016 Arbitral Award.
The Philippines is committed to pursuing peaceful and responsible actions in accordance with international law. It is our expectation that China, as a member of the international community, would also do the same.
The AFP and PCG remain steadfast in upholding Philippine sovereignty, sovereign rights and jurisdiction in the West Philippine Sea. ###
