The provisions of Article 695-37 do not preclude the Investigating Chamber, after ruling on the execution of the European arrest warrant, from temporarily postponing the surrender for serious humanitarian reasons, in particular if the surrender of the wanted person is likely to have serious consequences for him or her due in particular to his or her age or state of health.
The Public Prosecutor will then immediately inform the issuing judicial authority and agree a new surrender date with it. The wanted person shall then be surrendered at the latest within ten days of the new date agreed.
At the end of this period, if the wanted person is still in custody, he or she shall, unless the first paragraph of Article 695-39, released automatically.
