At the DSB meeting of 13June2005, the Dominican Republic confirmed its intention to implement the recommendations and rulings of the DSB in this dispute and stated that it would require a "reasonable period of time" in which to do so, pursuant to Article 21.3 of the Understanding on Rules and Procedures Governing the Settlement of Disputes (the "DSU"). On 12 July 2005, Honduras informed the DSB that consultations with the Dominican Republic had not resulted in agreement on the reasonable period of time for implementation. Honduras, therefore, requested that such period be determined by binding arbitration, in accordance with Article 21.3(c) of the DSU. In a joint letter dated 14 July 2005, Honduras and the Dominican Republic communicated to the Chairman of the DSB their agreement that, notwithstanding the 90-day period for arbitration described in Article 21.3(c) of the DSU (which would expire on 17 August 2005), an arbitration completed within 60 days after the date of the appointment of the arbitrator would be deemed by the parties to be the award of the arbitrator under Article 21.3(c) of the DSU. On 21 July 2005, the parties requested me to act as Arbitrator, pursuant to Article 21.3(c) of the DSU, to determine the reasonable period of time for implementation of the recommendations and rulings of the DSB in respect of this matter. I accepted the appointment on 22 July 2005, and undertook to issue my award no later than 20 September 2005. By joint letter to me dated 29 July 2005, Honduras and the Dominican Republic communicated their agreement to suspend the arbitration proceedings, pending agreement on a reasonable period of time for implementation. By letter dated 4 August 2005, I acknowledged receipt of the joint letter and agreed to treat the matter as suspended until further notice. By joint letter to me dated 16 August 2005, the parties informed me that they had reached agreement on the reasonable period of time for compliance in this matter, and requested that I "issue such rulings reflecting this agreement as [I] may deem appropriate in the circumstances". The parties' agreement is set out in the joint letter dated 16 August 2005, attached as Annex 1 to this Report. Under the circumstances, it will not be necessary for me to issue an award in this arbitration.
