Paragraph 1: General provisions

Any European investigation order issued by one of the judicial authorities mentioned in Article 694-20 is drafted using the form set out in Annex A to Directive 2014/41/EU of 3 April 2014 on the European Investigation Order in criminal matters. It shall be translated, if necessary, into the language or one of the languages that the executing authority has declared that it accepts. It may be transmitted to the executing…

When the magistrate who issued the EIO is informed by the executing authority of the impossibility of carrying out the requested act or of the need to substitute another measure, he or she may withdraw or supplement the EIO.

If an appeal is lodged against the European Investigation Order, the magistrate who issued that order shall inform the executing authority thereof, as well as of the outcome of that appeal. However, failure to comply with this obligation to provide information does not constitute a ground for invalidity.
