I. Introduction

1. The Tribunal has received the following communications from the Parties:

a. Respondent’s letter of February 6, 2015, requesting an extension of forty-five (45) days, i.e., until April 8, 2015, to submit its Counter-Memorial.

b. Claimant’s response of February 9, 2015, opposing the extension requested by the Respondent.

c. Respondent’s letter of February 10, 2015, addressed to the Tribunal and the Claimant, requesting that the Claimant “implement the necessary actions to facilitate the access to the information listed in Exhibit A to Procedural Order No. 2 of December 1, 2014 (the ‘Protected Information’)” [Tribunal’s translation].

d. Claimant’s response of February 10, 2015, affirming that it has had every intention of cooperating with the taking of evidence concerning the Protected Information and noting that the Respondent’s requests are not reasonable with respect to the intended schedule and, in addition, that they do not comply with the Tribunal’s orders.

e. Respondent’s letter of February 10, 2015, responding to the Claimant, and justifying the request for extension with reasons that it attributes to the Claimant and affirming that the extension would not affect the tentative dates set for the hearing.

2. By PCA’s letter of February 11, 2015, the Tribunal instructed the Parties to confer, without copying the Tribunal, and attempt to agree upon the matters referred to in Procedural Order No. 3, and in particular on the place, periods of time and hours for the review of the Protected Information. Likewise, the Tribunal requested the Parties to inform the Tribunal on the agreements they were able to reach and on the points of disagreement by February 16, 2015.
