A European protection order may be issued by the public prosecutor at the request of the victim or the victim’s legal representative. The victim shall be informed of this right when one of the prohibitions mentioned in Article 696-90 is issued in his or her favour.
The competent public prosecutor is the one attached to the judicial court within whose jurisdiction is located the competent authority that ordered the prohibition on the basis of which a European protection order may be issued.
If the public prosecutor to whom the request has been addressed does not have jurisdiction, he shall forward it without delay to the competent public prosecutor and shall notify the victim accordingly.
