Article 723-17-1 of the French Code of Criminal Procedure

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.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article 723-17-1

Lorsqu’une condamnation mentionnée à l’article 723-15 n’a pas été mise à exécution dans le délai de trois ans à compter de la date à laquelle elle est devenue définitive, le condamné est convoqué devant le juge de l’application des peines, préalablement à la mise à exécution de la condamnation, afin de déterminer les modalités d’exécution de sa peine les mieux adaptées aux circonstances, à sa personnalité et à sa situation matérielle, familiale et sociale. Cette convocation suspend la possibilité pour le parquet de mettre la peine à exécution.

Il peut être dérogé au présent article dans les cas prévus à l’article 723-16.
