As an exception to the provisions of Article 696-6, the rule of speciality does not apply where the person claimed waives it under the conditions provided for in articles 696-28 and 696-40 or where the French Government gives its consent under the conditions set out in article 696-35.
This consent may be given by the French Government, even if the act, cause of the request, is not one of the offences determined by Article 696-3.
