The Tribunal issued its Interim Award on June 26, 2000. As a result of that Award it was necessary for the parties to proceed to a further stage wherein the questions under consideration were a further examination of the claim under Article 1102 in light of the additional material called for by the Tribunal in the appendix to the Interim Award and an examination of the claim under Article 1105. This stage is generally referred to as Phase 2 of the arbitration.
