When a conviction mentioned in Article 723-15 has not been enforced within three years of the date on which it became final, the sentenced person is summoned to appear before the sentence enforcement judge, before the sentence is enforced, in order to determine the way in which the sentence is best suited to the circumstances, his personality and his material, family and social situation. This summons suspends the possibility for the public prosecutor to enforce the sentence.
This Article may be waived in the cases provided for in Article 723-16.
