If the sentenced person is on the territory of the sentencing State, he or she will be transferred to French territory on a date set by the Minister of Justice in agreement with the competent authority of that State, no later than thirty days from the date on which the decision to recognise the sentence and enforce the custodial sentence or detention order becomes final.
If transfer is impossible within this time limit due to unforeseen circumstances, the Minister for Justice and the competent authority of the sentencing State shall agree on a new transfer date as soon as these circumstances have ceased. The transfer shall take place, at the latest, within ten days of this new date.
