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.

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

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
