This public sitting is being held to hear the parties present their arguments in the MOX Plant Case. I call on the Registrar to read out the submissions of Ireland as contained in its Request. The Registrar: The Applicant requests the Tribunal to prescribe the following provisional measures: (1) that the United Kingdom immediately suspend the authorisation of the MOX plant dated 3 October 2001, alternatively take such other measures as are necessary to prevent with immediate effect the operation of the MOX plant; (2) that the United Kingdom immediately ensure that there are no movements into or out of the waters over which it has sovereignty or exercises sovereign rights of any radioactive substances or materials or wastes which are associated with the operation of, or activities preparatory to the operation of, the MOX plant; (3) that the United Kingdom ensure that no action of any kind is taken which might aggravate, extend or render more difficult of solution the dispute submitted to the Annex VII tribunal (Ireland hereby agreeing itself to act so as not to aggravate, extend or render more difficult of solution that dispute); and (4) that the United Kingdom ensure that no action is taken which might prejudice the rights of Ireland in respect of the carrying out of any decision on the merits that the Annex VII tribunal may render (Ireland likewise will take no action of that kind in relation to the United Kingdom). The President: On 9 November 2001 a copy of the Request was transmitted to the Government of the United Kingdom. By Order of 13 November 2001, 19 and 20 November 2001 were fixed as the dates for the hearing of the case. On 15 November 2001 the United Kingdom filed its written observations regarding the Request of Ireland. I now call on the Registrar to read out the submissions of the Government of the United Kingdom. The Registrar: The Respondent requests the Tribunal to: (1) reject Ireland‟s application for provisional measures; 8 OPENING OF THE ORAL PROCEEDINGS – 19 November 2001, a.m. (2) order Ireland to bear the United Kingdom‟s costs in these proceedings. The President: In accordance with the Rules of the Tribunal, copies of the Request and the written observations are being made accessible to the public as of today. The Tribunal notes the presence in court of Mr David O‟Hagan, the Agent of Ireland, and Mr Michael Wood, Agent of the United Kingdom. I now call on the Agent of the Applicant to note the representation of Ireland. Mr O’Hagan: Mr President, Mr Vice-President and distinguished Members of the Tribunal, it is my privilege as the Agent of Ireland to open this presentation by introducing those representing Ireland.
