189It should be recalled that, under Article 44(1)(e) and Article 48(1) of the Rules of Procedure of the Court of First Instance, the application must contain, where appropriate, offers of evidence, and the parties may offer further evidence in support of their arguments in reply or rejoinder, provided that they give reasons for the delay in offering it. Thus, evidence in rebuttal and the amplification of the offers of evidence submitted in response to evidence in rebuttal from the opposite party in his defence are not covered by the time-bar laid down in Article 48(1) of the Rules of Procedure. That provision concerns offers of fresh evidence and must be read in the light of Article 66(2), which expressly provides that evidence may be submitted in rebuttal and previous evidence may be amplified (Baustahlgewebe v Commission, paragraph 74 above, paragraphs 71 and 72).
