Before transmitting the sentencing decision and the certificate, the representative of the Public Prosecutor’s Office may consult the competent authority of the executing State in order to determine, in particular, whether enforcement of the sentence in the territory of that State is likely to facilitate the social rehabilitation of the sentenced person. Such consultation is mandatory in cases other than those referred to in 1° and 2° of Article 728-11.
