The Public Prosecutor shall take the necessary measures to ensure that the requested person is surrendered to the judicial authority of the issuing State at the latest within ten days of the date of the final decision of the Investigating Chamber.
If the wanted person is at liberty when the decision of the Investigating Chamber authorising surrender is given, the Public Prosecutor may order the arrest of the person concerned and his committal to prison. Article 74-2 then applies. The powers of the public prosecutor and the liberty and custody judge are then exercised respectively by the public prosecutor and the president of the investigating chamber or the councillor appointed by him. When the requested person has been apprehended, the Public Prosecutor shall notify the judicial authority of the issuing State of the arrest without delay.
If the requested person cannot be surrendered within the ten-day period for reasons of force majeure, the Public Prosecutor shall immediately inform the judicial authority of the issuing State and agree with it a new surrender date. The requested person shall then be surrendered at the latest within ten days of the new date thus agreed.
On expiry of the time limits referred to in the first subparagraph or in the second sentence of the third subparagraph, if the requested person is still in custody, he or she shall, except where the first subparagraph of article 695-39, released automatically.
