The new two-month extension entered into force on 25 May 2023 and extends all time limits expiring between 5 June 2023 and 14 September inclusive until 15 September 2023. It follows Decisions EX-23-5, EX-23-1, EX-22-9, EX-22-8, EX-22-5, EX-22-4 and EX-22-2of the Executive Director which had extended previous time limits.
