son Règlement,

Vu la réplique dûment déposée par la Roumanie dans le délai ainsi
fixé;
Considérant que, par une lettre datée du 31 mai 2007 et reçue au

Cour que son gouvernement, pour les raisons exposées dans ladite lettre,
4651 MARITIME DELIMITATION (ORDER 8VI07)

Whereas, by a letter dated 4 June 2007 and received in the Registry on
6 June 2007, the Agent of Romania stated that his Government, while
leaving this matter to the assessment of the Court, “[did] not oppose a
reasonable extension, provided that it [would] not influence upon the fix-
ing of the oral hearings”;
Taking account of the views of the Parties,
Extends to 6 July 2007 the time-limit for the filing of the Rejoinder of
Ukraine; and
Reserves the subsequent procedure for further decision.
Done in English and in French, the English text being authoritative, at
the Peace Palace, The Hague, this eighth day of June, two thousand and
seven, in three copies, one of which will be placed in the archives of the

demandait que le délai pour le dépôt de la duplique de l’Ukraine soit pro-
rogé de trois semaines, à savoir jusqu’au 6 juillet 2007; et considérant
que, dès réception de cette lettre, le Greffe en a fait tenir copie à l’agent
de la Roumanie;
Considérant que, par une lettre datée du 4 juin 2007 et reçue au Greffe
le 6 juin 2007, l’agent de la Roumanie a indiqué que son gouvernement,
tout en s’en remettant à l’appréciation de la Cour, «ne s’oppos[ait] pas à
une prorogation raisonnable, à condition que les dates de la procédure
orale n’en soient pas affectées»;
Compte tenu des vues des Parties,
Reporte au 6 juillet 2007 la date d’expiration du délai pour le dépôt de
la duplique de l’Ukraine;
Réserve la suite de la procédure.
Fait en anglais et en français, le texte anglais faisant foi, au Palais de la
Paix, à La Haye, le huit juin deux mille sept, en trois exemplaires, dont
