Article 696-30 of the French Code of Criminal Procedure

If the person claimed lodges, within the legal time limit, an appeal in cassation against the decision of the Investigating Chamber granting his extradition, the President of the Criminal Division of the Court of Cassation or the councillor delegated by him shall, within fifteen days of the lodging of the appeal, issue an order in which he notes that the person claimed has thereby withdrawn his consent to extradition and, where applicable, that he has waived the rule of speciality. This order is not subject to appeal.

If the person claimed has been the subject of an extradition request, then the procedure shall be as set out in articles 696-15 et seq.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article 696-30

Si la personne réclamée forme, dans le délai légal, un pourvoi en cassation contre l’arrêt de la chambre de l’instruction accordant son extradition, le président de la chambre criminelle de la Cour de cassation ou le conseiller délégué par lui rend, dans un délai de quinze jours à compter de l’introduction du pourvoi, une ordonnance par laquelle il constate que la personne réclamée a ainsi entendu retirer son consentement à l’extradition et, le cas échéant, qu’elle a renoncé à la règle de la spécialité. Cette ordonnance n’est pas susceptible de recours.

Si la personne réclamée a fait l’objet d’une demande d’extradition, il est alors procédé ainsi qu’il est dit aux articles 696-15 et suivants.
