The Chambers adopted and We sanction the following:
CHAPTER 1^er. - Preliminary provision
Article 1^er. This Act regulates a matter referred to in Article 78 of the Constitution.
CHAPTER 2. - General principles
Art. 2. § 1^er. This Act governs the recognition of judgments and, where appropriate, probation decisions and the supervision of non-custodial sentences or measures as referred to in Article 3 in the territory of a Member State of the European Union other than that which has pronounced the judgment.
The aim is to facilitate the social reintegration of the sentenced person and to improve the protection of victims and society.
§ 2. In the relations between Belgium and the other Member States of the European Union and without prejudice to article 32, this Act replaces, for the execution of judgments pronouncing a conditional sentence or release under condition, the provisions set out in chapter V of the Act of 23 May 1990 on the interstate transfer of sentenced persons, the resumption and transfer of supervision of persons convicted under condition or released under condition as well as the resumption and transfer of execution of
Art. 3. For the purposes of this Act:
1st judgment: a final decision by a court of the issuing State that a natural person committed a criminal offence and declares:
(a) a custodial sentence or measure if a conditional release has been granted on the basis of that judgment or a subsequent probation decision;
(b) a sentence with probation;
(c) a conditional sentence; or
(d) a replacement sentence;
2° penalty with probation: a sentence or measure of deprivation of liberty whose execution is suspended under condition, in whole or in part, at the time of conviction, as a result of the adoption of one or more probation measures. These probation measures are included in the judgment itself or arrested in a separate probation decision by a competent authority;
3° a conditional sentence: a judgment adjournment of a sentence due to the adoption of one or more probation measures, or imposing one or more probation measures instead of a sentence or custodial measure. These probation measures are included in the judgment itself or arrested in a separate probation decision by a competent authority;
4th alternative penalty: a penalty not constituting a penalty or measure of deprivation of liberty or a monetary penalty, imposing an obligation or order;
5th Probation Decision: a final judgment or decision rendered by a competent authority of the issuing State on the basis of such a judgment:
(a) granting parole, or;
(b) Probation;
6° Conditional release: a final decision, rendered by a competent authority or arising out of national law, pronouncing the early release of a convicted person, after the execution of part of the sentence or deprivation of liberty, as a result of the adoption of one or more probation measures;
7° Probation measures: obligations or injunctions imposed by a competent authority to a natural person in accordance with the provisions of Belgian law of the issuing State in connection with a suspended sentence, conditional sentence or conditional release;
8° State of issue: the Member State of the European Union in which the judgment was rendered;
9° Implementing State: the Member State of the European Union in which probation and substitution measures are monitored following a decision rendered in accordance with Article 18;
10° certificate: the document whose model is listed in Appendix 1^resigned by the competent authority of the issuing State which certifies that its content is accurate.
Art. 4. This Act applies where one of the following conditions accompanies the judgment and, where applicable, the probation decision:
1° the duty of the sentenced person to inform a specified authority of any change in domicile or place of work;
2° the obligation not to travel to certain places, places or specified areas of the issuing State or the enforcement State;
3° the obligation with restrictions on the possibility of leaving the territory of the enforcement State;
4° injunctions concerning behaviour, residence, training, leisure, or involving restrictions or modalities for the exercise of a professional activity;
5° the obligation to submit to a specified authority at specific times;
6° the obligation to avoid contact with specified persons;
7° the obligation to avoid any contact with specific objects that have been used by the convicted person or could be used to commit a criminal offence;
8° the obligation to financially repair the harm caused by the criminal offence or the obligation to prove that this obligation has been fulfilled;
9° the obligation to undertake work of general interest;
10° the obligation to cooperate with a probation officer or with a representative of a social service performing duties related to convicted persons;
11° the obligation to undergo medical care or detox treatment.
Art. 5. This Act establishes a regime without prior agreement of the enforcement State and a regime with prior agreement of the enforcement State.
The regime without prior agreement applies to the transmission of judgments and, where applicable, probation decisions and certificates for the purpose of recognition and supervision to the Member State in the place of the legal and usual residence of the convicted person, when the convicted person is returned or wishes to return to that State.
The regime with prior agreement of the enforcement State shall apply, at the request of the sentenced person, to the transmission of judgments and, where applicable, probation decisions and certificates for the purpose of recognition and supervision to any other Member State of the European Union in which the convicted person wishes to reside.
However, the request of the convicted person does not create an obligation in the head of the issuing State, the latter alone decided to transmit the judgment and, if necessary, the decision on probation and the certificate to another member State.
Art. 6. The competent Belgian authorities consult the competent authorities of the other Member State concerned whenever the situation requires.
Only the issuing State may rule on an appeal for a review of the judgment stating the conviction to be executed under this Act.
Art. 7. The judgment and, where applicable, the decision of probation, or a certified copy thereof, shall be transmitted by any means leaving a written record to a single State of execution at once. They're accompanied by the certificate.
The original of the judgment and, where applicable, the probation decision, or the certificate, or a certified copy thereof, shall be transmitted to the enforcement State upon request.
Art. 8. The costs resulting from the execution of the judgment and, if necessary, from the decision of probation pronounced in another Member State of the European Union are borne by Belgium, excluding the costs incurred exclusively in the territory of that other Member State.

4° if the recognition and monitoring of the penalty or measure in Belgian territory contributes to the goal of social reintegration and reintegration of the sentenced person in society.
§ 3. In order to verify whether the recognition and supervision of the judgment and, if necessary, of the probation decision in Belgium fulfils the condition referred to in § 2, 4°, the Minister of Justice may charge the Department of Justice Houses of the Federal Public Service Justice to prepare a brief information report or to conduct a social inquiry.

Section 3. - Recognition and Monitoring Procedure
Art. 14. The competent authority for the recognition of a judgment and, where appropriate, a probation decision shall be the public prosecutor's office of the place of legal and habitual residence of the person concerned or, as the case may be, the place where the person wishes to reside.
Art. 15. The certificate sent to the public ministry must be translated into Dutch, French, German or English.
When another authority receives the judgment and, where appropriate, the probation decision and the certificate, it shall forward it to the Public Prosecutor's Office and shall inform the issuing authority of it by any means leaving a written record.
Art. 16. § 1^er. If the issuing authority consults with the Public Prosecutor's Office beforehand, it may, on this occasion, assess by reason of a decision whether the recognition of the judgment and, if necessary, of the probation decision and the supervision of the sentence or measure in Belgium contribute to the goal of social reintegration and reintegration of the convicted person in society. To this end, the Public Prosecutor's Department may charge the Department of Justice's Houses of Justice to prepare a brief information report or conduct a social inquiry.
§ 2. In order to determine the recognition of the judgment and, where appropriate, the probation decision and the supervision of the sentence or measure, the Public Prosecutor's Office shall, upon receipt of the judgment and, where applicable, the probation decision and the certificate:
1° where there is no need to apply one of the reasons for refusal provided for in sections 11 to 13;
2° if the behaviours as described in the certificate correspond well to those found in Article 11, § 2, in the case where the fact at the basis of the judgment and, where applicable, the decision of probation is contained in this list.
§ 3. The Public Prosecutor's Office shall verify whether the judgment and, where appropriate, the probation decision are accompanied by specific conditions as referred to in section 4.
§ 4. Before deciding not to recognize the judgment and, where appropriate, the decision on probation and not to monitor the sentence or measure for the reasons provided for in articles 12, 1°, 5°, 7°, 8° and 13, the Public Prosecutor's Office shall consult with the issuing State by all appropriate means and, where appropriate, shall request the State to promptly send any additional information necessary.
§ 5. When the public prosecutor has decided to invoke one of the grounds for refusal referred to in Article 13, he may nevertheless decide, in agreement with the issuing State, to accept the supervision in Belgium of the conditions accompanying the judgment and, if so, the decision of probation without having to assume responsibility for the subsequent decision-making when the convicted person does not observe the conditions imposed or commits a new criminal trial period.
Art. 17. If the length of the sentence or non-custodial measure, or the duration of the probation period, is incompatible with Belgian law, the Public Prosecutor's Office may decide to adapt this sentence only when it exceeds the maximum penalty provided for by Belgian law for criminal offences of the same nature. The duration of the appropriate sentence may not be less than that of the maximum penalty provided by Belgian law for criminal offences of the same nature.
If the nature of the sentence or measure is incompatible with Belgian law, the Public Prosecutor ' s Office may adapt the sentence to a sentence or measure provided for in Belgian law for similar criminal offences. This penalty or measure must correspond as much as possible to the sentencing in the issuing State.
In no case may the penalty or measure imposed in the issuing State be aggravated with respect to its duration or nature.
Art. 18. § 1^er. Subject to the application of Article 19, the Public Prosecutor's Office shall decide as soon as possible, and no later than sixty days from the date of receipt of the judgment and, if any, the decision of probation and the certificate, the recognition of the judgment and, if any, the decision of probation and the supervision of the sentence or measure, and shall inform the issuing State of it.
§ 2. Whether or not the decision to recognize the judgment and, where appropriate, the decision to probation, to monitor the sentence or the measure and, eventually, the decision to adapt the sentence shall be served on the person concerned, when it is in Belgian territory. The person may challenge the decision of the Public Prosecutor ' s Office and apply to the Board by request to the Registry within 24 hours of the service of the decision.
The Council Chamber shall rule, within fifteen days, only on the basis of Article 16, § 2. The decision of the board's board may be appealed in cassation.
§ 3. When the decision for recognition and supervision is final and no later than sixty days after the receipt of the judgment and, where applicable, the probation decision and the certificate, the public prosecutor shall inform the issuing State of the decision.
§ 4. When the public prosecutor decides to recognize the judgment and, where appropriate, the decision on probation, he shall inform the issuing State of any decision of adaptation made in accordance with article 17 and shall promptly take all necessary measures for the supervision of the non-custodial penalty or measure under Belgian law. The decision to recognize the judgment and, where appropriate, the probation decision renders the penalty or measure imposed in the issuing State directly and immediately enforceable in Belgium for the remaining party.
§ 5. If, in exceptional cases, the Public Prosecutor's Office is not in a position to comply with the 60-day period provided for in § 3, it shall promptly inform the State of issue by indicating the reasons for the delay and the time it considers necessary to make the final decision.
Art. 19. The decision concerning the recognition of the judgment and, where appropriate, the decision on probation and the supervision of the sentence or measure may be postponed if the certificate referred to in Article 7 is incomplete or manifestly not in accordance with the judgment and, if applicable, the decision on probation, for a reasonable period of time fixed by the Public Prosecutor so that it may be completed or corrected in accordance with Article 13, § 2.
Art. 20. In the event that the issuing State withdraws the certificate as a result of information relating to the adaptation of the nature or duration of the sentence or measure, while the monitoring of the penalty or measure has not yet begun in Belgian territory, the public ministry puts an end to the monitoring of the penalty or measure.
The Public Prosecutor's Office puts an end to the monitoring of the penalty or measure as soon as it is informed by the issuing State of any decision or measure that has the effect of removing its enforceability from the conviction.
Section 4. - Penalty surveillance
and its consequences
Art. 21. § 1^er. Without prejudice to Article 16, § 5, the supervision of the penalty or measure is governed by Belgian law, including for decisions to be taken when the convicted person does not observe the conditions imposed or commits a new criminal offence.
§ 2. Supervision of the condition under section 4, 8° may be performed by requesting the convicted person to demonstrate that the obligation to repair the harm caused by the criminal offence has been met.
§ 3. If the convicted person is fleeing or has no longer his or her legal and usual residence in Belgium, the public prosecutor may relocate to the issuing authority the authority to monitor the sentence or measure.
§ 4. When the issuing authority so requests, due to the existence of a new criminal procedure against the convicted person, the public prosecutor may re-transfer the authority to monitor the sentence or measure to the state.
Section 5. - Information
to transmit to the issuing State
Art. 22. § 1^er. The public ministry shall promptly inform the issuing State by any means leaving a written record:
1° the practical impossibility of monitoring the penalty or measure because the sentenced person cannot be found in Belgian territory;
2° of the decision to recognize the judgment and, where appropriate, the decision to probation and to assume responsibility for the supervision of the sentence or the measure;
3° of any reasoned decision to refuse recognition of the judgment and, if any, of the probation decision;
4° of the reasoned decision to adapt the sentence or measure in accordance with Article 17;
5° of the reasoned decision not to recognize a judgment and, where appropriate, a probation decision when amnesty or grace are granted;
6° of any change of sentence or non-custodial measure;
7° the revocation of probation or parole;
8° the execution of a custodial sentence due to the non-observance of the conditions imposed;
9° the extinction of the penalty or non-custodial measure;
10° of any circumstance or finding that it appears likely to take the adoption of one or more of the decisions referred to in 6° to 9°.
§ 2. When the public prosecutor has accepted the supervision of the penalty or measure under Article 16, § 5, it must also inform the issuing State of any breach of sentence or measure through a form established in the forms prescribed in Schedule 2 to this Act.
Art. 23. When the State of issue so requests, the Public Prosecutor's Office shall immediately inform it after receiving the judgment and, where appropriate, the decision on probation and the certificate and by any means leaving a written record of the maximum duration of the deprivation of liberty provided for in Belgian law for the criminal offence that gave rise to the judgment and which could be pronounced against persons convicted in the event of non-compliance with the conditions imposed.

Section 3. - Emission of judgment and,
where applicable, the probation decision and its consequences

Art. 28. § 1^er. The Public Prosecutor ' s Office shall have jurisdiction to monitor the penalty or measure when the Implementing State transfers jurisdiction to the Public Prosecutor ' s Office following:
