At the initiative of the competent authority of the executing State, the French judicial authorities once again become competent to monitor alternative sanctions or probation measures where the sentenced person has absconded or is no longer ordinarily resident, under lawful conditions, in the territory of the executing State.
Where, following recognition of a conviction or a probation decision by the competent authorities of the executing State, new criminal proceedings are instituted in France against the person concerned, the public prosecutor may request the said authorities to ensure that the alternative sanctions or probation measures are again monitored by the French judicial authorities. If this is agreed, the French judicial authorities once again become competent to monitor these penalties and measures and to pronounce any subsequent decision relating to these penalties and measures.
In the cases mentioned in the first two paragraphs, the Public Prosecutor shall take into account in all his submissions the length of time during which the person concerned has complied with the obligations or injunctions imposed on him and all the decisions taken by the competent authorities of the executing State.
