The competent public prosecutor is the one in whose jurisdiction the habitual and lawful residence of the person placed under judicial supervision is located or the one where the person requests to reside. Failing this, the public prosecutor at the Paris judicial court has jurisdiction.
If the public prosecutor to whom the request has been addressed by the issuing State does not have jurisdiction, he will forward it without delay to the competent public prosecutor. The competent authority of the issuing State shall be informed of the transmission.
