Article 106 of the French Code of Criminal Procedure

Each page of the minutes is signed by the judge, the clerk and the witness. The latter is then invited to reread his statement as it has just been transcribed, and then to sign it if he declares that he is in agreement with it. If the witness cannot read, it is read to him by the clerk. If the witness is unwilling or unable to sign, this is noted in the minutes. Each page is also signed by the interpreter if applicable.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article 106

Chaque page des procès-verbaux est signée du juge, du greffier et du témoin. Ce dernier est alors invité à relire sa déposition telle qu’elle vient d’être transcrite, puis à la signer s’il déclare y persister. Si le témoin ne sait pas lire, lecture lui en est faite par le greffier. Si le témoin ne veut ou ne peut signer, mention en est portée sur le procès-verbal. Chaque page est également signée par l’interprète s’il y a lieu.
