The investigating chamber may, by a decision which is not subject to appeal, authorise the requesting State to intervene at the hearing at which the extradition request is considered, through a person authorised by that State for that purpose. Where the requesting State is authorised to intervene, it shall not become a party to the proceedings.

Lorsque l’Etat requérant est autorisé à intervenir, il ne devient pas partie à la procédure.
