The President of the International Court of Justice,
having regard to Article 48 of the Statute of the Court and to Article 62 of
the Rules of Court;
having regard to the Order of 7 August 1962 fixing 15 March 1963 as the
time-limit for the filing of the Counter-Memorial of the Spanish Government;
Whereas, within the time-limit so fixed, the Spanish Government filed

that it has no jurisdiction to entertain or decide the claims advanced in
the Application and the Memorial of the Belgian Government, and that the
Application is inadmissible;
Whereas, accordingly, by virtue of the provisions of Article 62, paragraph
3, of the Rules of Court, the proceedings on the merits are suspended and a
time-limit has to be fixed for the presentation [p10] by the other Party of
a written statement of its Observations and Submissions on the Preliminary
Objections;
Having ascertained the views of the Parties,
Fixes 15 August 1963 as the time-limit within which the Belgian Government
may present a written statement of its Observations and Submissions on the
Objections raised by the Spanish Government.
Done in French and in English, the French text being authoritative, at the
Peace Palace, The Hague, this sixteenth day of March, one thousand nine
hundred and sixty-three, in three copies, one of which will be placed in the
archives of the Court and the others transmitted to the Belgian Government
and to the Spanish Government, respectively.
