最高人民法院关于一方为外国人与我国境内的配偶达成离婚协议我国法院可否制发调解书问题的批复

1984年4月9日，最高人民法院

辽宁省高级人民法院：
你院1984年3月16日电话请示的日本回国孤儿与在我国的配偶离婚，经我国法院调解，双方达成协议，可否制发调解书问题，经研究认为：在我国领域内进行的民事诉讼，不论当事人之国籍如何，均适用我国民事诉讼程序规范。涉外民事诉讼除适用民诉法（试行）涉外编的规定外，按该法第一百八十五条规定，涉外编没有规定的，适用该法其他有关规定。该法第九十七条规定，人民法院受理的民事案件，能够调解的，都应当进行调解，促使当事人互相谅解，达成协议。第一百零一条规定，调解达成协议，应当制作调解书。这些规定对涉外民事诉讼同样适用。故国外一方来我国法院进行民事诉讼，经调解，双方达成协议，是可以制发调解书的。

Provisions, apply to the competent authorities for approval; if they have
the necessity to carry out the said activities on the continental shelves
of the People's Republic of China, they shall notify the competent
authorities in advance, but the routes they have selected and decided on
for laying the cables and pipelines must have the consent of the competent
authorities.
Article 5
The owners of the submarine cables and pipelines (hereinafter referred to
as "the owners") shall file a written application with the competent
