Paragraph 4: Serving the sentence.

Enforcement of the sentence is governed by the law of the State in whose territory it is enforced.

Where the sentence is the subject of an amnesty, pardon, revision or any other decision or measure having the effect of depriving it, immediately or otherwise, of its enforceability, the representative of the public prosecutor shall inform the competent authority of the executing State without delay.

The Public Prosecutor’s Office recovers the right to enforce the sentencing decision on French territory as soon as the competent authority of the enforcing State informs it of the partial non-enforcement of this decision due to the escape of the sentenced person or the fact that the sentenced person cannot be found on the territory of that State.
