EEZ has no implication on laying of underwater pipelines. EEZ are intentional waters and not territorial waters.
With only difference being, the host country has rights over natural resources in its EEZ ..eg fishing or oil drilling..

So can't Pakistan simply make a law regarding the banning of Marine pipelines in Pakistan proper and this would extend to its EEZ?
