A foreign national to whom a police or gendarmerie service provides the information mentioned in article R. 425-1 and who chooses to benefit from the thirty-day reflection period provided for in the same article will be issued with a receipt of the same duration by the Prefect or, in Paris, by the Police Prefect, in accordance with the provisions of article R. 425-3. This period runs from the date of issue of the receipt. During the reflection period, no deportation decision may be taken against the foreign national pursuant to article L. 611-1, nor may it be enforced.
The reflection period may, at any time, be interrupted and the receipt referred to in the first paragraph withdrawn by the territorially competent Prefect, if the foreign national has, on his or her own initiative, renewed links with the perpetrators of the offences referred to in article R. 425-1, or if his or her presence constitutes a serious threat to public order.
