The departments and units referred to in Article 695-9-31 may postpone their response if they are unable to provide the information requested within the time limit set pursuant to Article R. 49-37. They shall indicate the reasons for this postponement to the competent service of the requesting State using a form drawn up in accordance with Annex A to Framework Decision 2006/960/JHA of 18 December 2006.
When the departments and units requested postpone their response on the grounds that compliance with the eight-hour time limit provided for in the first paragraph of Article R. 49-37 would impose a disproportionate burden on them, they shall immediately inform the competent department of the requesting State and send it the information requested within three days at the latest.
