Any European investigation order issued by one of the judicial authorities mentioned in Article 694-20 is drafted using the form set out in Annex A to Directive 2014/41/EU of 3 April 2014 on the European Investigation Order in criminal matters.
It shall be translated, if necessary, into the language or one of the languages that the executing authority has declared that it accepts.
It may be transmitted to the executing authority via the telecommunications system of the European Judicial Network or by any means that leaves a written record.
If the magistrate issuing the European Investigation Order does not know the identity of the executing authority, he or she may request this information via the contact points of the European Judicial Network.
