Article 696-47-1 of the French Code of Criminal Procedure

Where, following a request for extradition from the French Government, the person has already been surrendered and where, in the absence of a waiver of the principle of speciality by the person or by the foreign Government, authorisation is sought to extend the prosecution to other offences committed before the person’s arrival on national territory, this request shall be accompanied by an arrest warrant if such a warrant had already been issued and, if not, by a warrant to bring the person to trial.
