'Whereas, ICC Rules, Art. 20(1) require the Tribunal "within as short a time as possible to establish the facts of the case by all appropriate means";

Whereas, pursuant to ICC Rules, Art. 20(2), the Tribunal of its own motion has decided to hear the parties;

Whereas, the Provisional Timetable, in Procedural Order No. 1 at Section A, calls for hearings March 15-19, 2004; and

Whereas, the Tribunal has consulted with the parties on the following;

Now, therefore it is ordered as follows:

1. Pursuant to ICC Art. 21(1), the Tribunal summons the parties to be heard through oral argument and/or the presentation of evidence. Hearings shall be held from March 15 to March 19, 2004, inclusive, at [venue in New York].

2. The Tribunal invites counsel to confer and, if feasible, to make relevant stipulations in order to simplify the hearing.

3. The proceedings shall begin at 9:00 a.m. each day and continue until 12:30 p.m. They shall resume at 1:30 p.m. and conclude at 5:00 p.m. The Tribunal may vary these times as may seem best.

4. The Claimants shall have two and one-half days to present their opening and closing statements and their evidentiary cases, unless the parties otherwise agree or, in the absence of such agreement, the Tribunal otherwise decides upon motion. The Respondent shall have two and one-half days to present its opening and closing statements and its evidentiary case, unless the parties otherwise agree or, in the absence of such agreement, the Tribunal otherwise decides upon motion.

5. The order of proceedings shall be as follows, within the time allocations set forth in paragraph 4 above:

b. The Claimants shall present their evidentiary cases first. They may reserve part of their time for a concluding statement it they so wish. In that case, the Claimants shall have the last word.

9. The witnesses shall testify under oath or affirmation.

10. The parties shall exchange witness lists and exhibit lists no later than March 5, 2004. Witnesses may be called by the party who wishes to cross-examine him or her. Only witnesses who have given witness statements shall be called. The parties may confer to shorten the lists by agreement. If they do so, they shall inform the Tribunal no later than March 9, 2004.

11. The parties shall confer on the need for translation services. The parties shall advise the Chairman on the results no later than March 3, 2004. If translation services are needed, the party calling the relevant witness shall arrange for translation, unless the parties otherwise agree. The parties, however, shall bear the cost equally. Translation services, if any, shall be simultaneous.

12. The Tribunal prefers that a transcript of the proceedings be made. The parties shall confer and advise the Chairman on the results no later than March 3, 2004. If a transcript is made, the parties shall bear the cost equally. No witness or counsel shall be allowed to alter a transcript, except to provide instructions on the accurate spelling of words.

14. The parties' attention is called to Procedural Order No. 1, paragraph B.2.7, concerning the preparation of a common bundle of exhibits for the hearing. The Claimants shall take the initiative to prepare the bundle, and the Respondent shall cooperate as appropriate. The parties shall create the bundle no later than March 5, 2004, and it shall be in the possession of the Respondent no later than March 10, 2004. The Respondent shall transport it to the hearing site (because the Respondent's counsel is in New York).

15. The parties shall, before the final session of the hearing, endeavor to agree on whether post-hearing submissions will be made. They shall inform the Tribunal on the results before the close of the hearing. The Tribunal may decide to request such submissions on its own initiative.

16. The parties by agreement may vary any provision of this Procedural Order before or during the hearing, subject to the concurrence of the Tribunal, which concurrence shall not be unreasonably withheld. On any question not provided for in this order and such subsequent orders as may bear on the hearing, the parties shall endeavor to agree on a resolution; failing such agreement, the Tribunal shall decide the question.'
