Following the launch of Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) and continental shelf delimitation talks between Japan and the Philippines, the Kuomintang (KMT) and Taiwan People's Party (TPP) caucuses in the Legislative Yuan proposed on June 5 that the Executive Yuan convene a "National Maritime Rights Conference" and deliver a special report to the legislature. The proposal argues that the delimitation area overlaps significantly with Taiwan's 200-nautical-mile EEZ but excludes Taiwan, effectively stripping its maritime sovereignty and fishing rights. Legislative Speaker Han Kuo-yu referred the proposal directly to second reading and party caucus negotiations.
