"澳洲和東帝汶為石油和天然氣的文件起紛爭"

東帝汶宣布了他們的計畫，他們打算請位於荷蘭的國際法庭命令澳洲歸還其特勤警察手中握有的文件。這些文件跟兩國間的石油天然氣收入分成有關。

澳洲安全情報組織（ASIO）是從澳洲坎培拉的一名律師和一名前間諜家中取得文件。東帝汶國務大臣Agio Pereira指控澳洲政府在收入分成協商之前竊聽東帝汶的國會，並聽取機密會談，那名前間諜原先預定要去出庭作證此事。

Pereira發出一項聲明以及他的計畫，他要請在海牙的常設仲裁法院下臨時令，澳洲將得把文件交給法院。Pereira表示這些文件影響了兩國於2006年簽署的一項雙邊條款的效力，條款牽扯到數十億美金的石油和天然氣蘊藏。這項協議是在東帝汶1999年於聯合國支持之下進行獨立投票，然後從印尼獨立之後簽訂。

(Politics) Australia East Timor Dispute Over Oil And Gas Documents

East Timor announced plans to ask an international court in the Netherlands to order Australia to return documents Australian secret service police seized. The documents relate to oil and gas revenue-sharing between the two countries.

The Australian Security Intelligence Organization (ASIO) obtained the documents from the homes of both a lawyer and former spy in Canberra, Australia. Agio Pereira, East Timorese Minister of State, alleges that the Australian government bugged the East Timorese Cabinet ahead of oil and gas revenue sharing negotiations and listened to confidential discussions, to which end the former spy was set to testify to in court.

Pereira issued a statement with his plans to ask the Permanent Court of Arbitration in The Hague for an interim order that would require Australia to hand over the documents to the court. According to Pereira, the documents challenge the validity of a bilateral treaty the two countries signed in 2006 regarding billions of US dollars in oil and gas reserves. The agreement was reached after East Timor broke away from Indonesia in a 1999 UN sanctioned independence ballot.
