15. 5. 74                       Official Journal of the European Communities                             No L 132/27
                                DECISION OF THE COURT OF JUSTICE
                                                  of 9 May 1974
                               amending Annex II to the Rules of Procedure
                                    (time limits on account of distance)
           THE COURT OF JUSTICE OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
           Having regard to Annex II to the Rules of Procedure, laying down time limits on account
           of distance, adopted at Luxembourg on 3 March 1959 (J) ;
           Whereas by reason of the Accession to the European Communities of the Kingdom of
           Denmark, Ireland and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, it is
           necessary to lay down time limits on account of distance for parties habitually resident in
           the new Member States ;
          Whereas Annex II to the Rules of Procedure must therefore be amended accordingly,
           HAS DECIDED AS FOLLOWS :
                                                     Article 1
          Article 1 of Annex II shall be replaced by the following :
          ' In order to take account of distance, procedural time limits for all parties save those habit­
          ually resident in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg shall be extended as follows :
          — for the Kingdom of Belgium : two days,
          — for the Federal Republic of Germany, the European territory of the French Republic
               and the European territory of the Kingdom of the Netherlands : six days,
          — for the European territory of the Kingdom of Denmark, for Ireland, for the Italian
               Republic and for the United Kingdom : ten days,
          ■— for other European countries and territories : two weeks,
          — for other countries, departments and territories : one month.'
                                                     Article 2
          This Decision shall be published in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
           It shall enter into force on the date of its publication.
           Done at Luxembourg, 9 May 1974.
