Desirous of strengthening their individual and collective ability to respond to crime;
Having regard to the provisions of the European Convention on Extradition (ETS No. 24) opened for signature in Paris on 13 December 1957 (hereinafter referred to as "the Convention"), as well as the two Additional Protocols thereto (ETS Nos. 86 and 98), done at Strasbourg on 15 October 1975 and on 17 March 1978, respectively;
Considering it desirable to supplement the Convention in certain respects in order to simplify and accelerate the extradition procedure when the person sought consents to extradition;
have agreed as follows:

Contracting Parties undertake to extradite to each other under the simplified procedure as provided for by this Protocol persons sought in accordance with article 1 of the Convention, subject to the consent of such persons and the agreement of the requested Party.
Article 2
Initiation of the procedure
1 - When the person sought is the subject of a request for provisional arrest in accordance with article 16 of the Convention, the extradition referred to in article 1 of this Protocol shall not be subject to the submission of a request for extradition and supporting documents in accordance with article 12 of the Convention. The following information provided by the requesting Party shall be regarded as adequate by the requested Party for the purpose of applying articles 3 to 5 of this Protocol and for taking its final decision on extradition under the simplified procedure:
a) the identity of the person sought, including his or her nationality or nationalities when available;
b) the authority requesting the arrest;
c) the existence of an arrest warrant or other document having the same legal effect or of an enforceable judgment, as well as a confirmation that the person is sought in accordance with article 1 of the Convention;
d) the nature and legal description of the offence, including the maximum penalty or the penalty imposed in the final judgment, including whether any part of the judgment has already been enforced;
e) information concerning lapse of time and its interruption;
f) a description of the circumstances in which the offence was committed, including the time, place and degree of involvement of the person sought;

Article 3
Obligation to inform the person
Where a person sought for the purpose of extradition is arrested in accordance with article 16 of the Convention, the competent authority of the requested Party shall inform that person, in accordance with its law and without undue delay, of the request relating to him or her and of the possibility of applying the simplified extradition procedure in accordance with this Protocol.
Article 4
Consent to extradition
1 - The consent of the person sought and, if appropriate, his or her express renunciation of entitlement to the rule of speciality shall be given before the competent judicial authority of the requested Party in accordance with the law of that Party.
2 - Each Party shall adopt the measures necessary to ensure that consent and, where appropriate, renunciation, as referred to in paragraph 1, are established in such a way as to show that the person concerned has expressed them voluntarily and in full awareness of the legal consequences. To that end, the person sought shall have the right to legal counsel. If necessary, the requested Party shall ensure that the person sought has the assistance of an interpreter.
3 - Consent and, where appropriate, renunciation, as referred to in paragraph 1, shall be recorded in accordance with the law of the requested Party.

In this case, the period between the notification of consent and that of its revocation shall not be taken into consideration in establishing the periods provided for in article 16, paragraph 4, of the Convention. Renunciation of entitlement to the rule of speciality may be revoked until the surrender of the person concerned. Any revocation of the consent to extradition or the renunciation of entitlement to the rule of speciality shall be recorded in accordance with the law of the requested Party and notified to the requesting Party immediately.
