Article D48-15 of the French Code of Criminal Procedure

Notwithstanding the provisions of the second paragraph of Article D. 48-14, the public prosecutor may not resume enforcement of the pecuniary penalty if the non-recognition of the penalty is based on the ground that the sentenced person has already been finally judged by the judicial authorities of the enforcing State or by those of a State other than the enforcing State, provided, in the case of a sentence, that the sentence has been enforced, is in the process of being enforced or can no longer be enforced under the laws of the sentencing State.

Article D48-15

Nonobstant les dispositions du deuxième alinéa de l’article D. 48-14, le ministère public ne peut reprendre l’exécution de la sanction pécuniaire si l’absence de reconnaissance de la sanction est fondée sur le motif que la personne condamnée a déjà été jugée définitivement par les autorités judiciaires de l’Etat d’exécution ou par celles d’un Etat autre que l’Etat d’exécution, à condition, en cas de condamnation, que la peine ait été exécutée, soit en cours d’exécution ou ne puisse plus être ramenée à exécution selon les lois de l’Etat de condamnation.
