shall furnish a final statement thereof to the parties.

the subject matter of the dispute, and which may be affected by a decision in
the case, may intervene in the proceedings with the consent of the tribunal.

date on which it is established, unless it finds it necessary to extend the
time limit for a period which should not exceed five months.

17. The award of the arbitral tribunal shall be accompanied by a statement
of reasons. It shall be final and binding upon all parties to the dispute.
The award will be transmitted by the arbitral tribunal to the parties to the
dispute and to the secretariat. The secretariat will forward the information
received to all Parties to this Convention.

18. Any dispute which may arise between the parties concerning the
interpretation or execution of the award may be submitted by either party to
the arbitral tribunal which made the award or, if the latter cannot be seized
thereof, to another tribunal constituted for this purpose in the same manner
as the first.
