Where the sentenced person is able to provide proof of payment of all or part of the said penalty, the public prosecutor shall inform the competent authority of the issuing State by any means which leaves a written record so that that authority may produce its observations.

Any part of the amount of the penalty recovered, in whatever manner, in any other State, shall be deducted in full from the amount of the financial penalty to be recovered.

Lorsque la personne condamnée est en mesure de fournir la preuve du paiement de tout ou partie de ladite sanction, le procureur de la République informe l’autorité compétente de l’Etat d’émission par tout moyen laissant une trace écrite afin que cette autorité puisse produire ses observations.

Toute partie du montant de la sanction recouvrée, de quelque manière que ce soit, dans tout autre Etat, est entièrement déduite du montant de la sanction pécuniaire à recouvrer.
