Agreement on

recognition and enforcement of judgments in criminal matters

imposing custodial sentences or measures involving deprivation of

liberty between the Government of the Republic of Latvia and the

Government of the Kingdom of Norway

THE GOVERNMENT OF THE REPUBLIC OF LATVIA AND THE GOVERNMENT OF

THE KINGDOM OF NORWAY, hereinafter referred to as the

"Contracting Parties",

Taking into consideration the laws and regulations in force

regarding law enforcement of the Contracting Parties and the

desirability of enhancing their cooperative efforts in law

enforcement and the administration of justice,

Desiring to facilitate the social rehabilitation of sentenced

persons into their own society,

Considering that this aim can best be achieved by having

sentenced persons transferred to the country where they live,

Considering the need for modern mechanisms for the mutual

recognition of final sentences involving deprivation of liberty,

and for extended application of the principle of the transfer of

sentenced persons,

Whereas:

(1) Both Contracting Parties have ratified the Council of

Europe Convention on the Transfer of Sentenced Persons of 21

March 1983. Under that Convention, sentenced persons may be

transferred to serve the remainder of their sentence only to

their State of nationality and only with their consent and that

of the States involved. The Additional Protocol to that

Convention of 18 December 1997, which allows transfer without the

person's consent, subject to certain conditions, has also been

ratified by both Contracting Parties. Neither instrument imposes

any basic duty to recognise the judgment and enforce the sentence

imposed by the other Contracting Party.

(2) A further development of the cooperation provided for in

the Council of Europe instruments concerning the enforcement of

criminal judgments should be envisaged, in particular where

citizens of the Contracting Parties were the subject of a

criminal judgment and were sentenced to a custodial sentence or a

measure involving deprivation of liberty in another Contracting

Party. Notwithstanding the need to provide the sentenced person

with adequate safeguards, his or her involvement in the

proceedings should no longer be dominant by requiring in all

cases his or her consent to the forwarding of a judgment to the

other Contracting Party for the purpose of its recognition and

enforcement of the sentence imposed.

(3) This Agreement should be implemented and applied in a

manner which allows general principles of equality, fairness and

reasonableness to be respected.

(4) Enforcement of the sentence in the executing State should

enhance the possibility of social rehabilitation of the sentenced

person. In the context of satisfying itself that the enforcement

of the sentence by the executing State will serve the purpose of

facilitating the social rehabilitation of the sentenced person,

the competent authority of the issuing State should take into

account such elements as, for example, the person's attachment to

the executing State, whether he or she considers it the place of

family, linguistic, cultural, social or economic and other links

to the executing State.

(5) Nothing in this Agreement should be interpreted as

prohibiting refusal to execute a decision when there are

objective reasons to believe that the sentence was imposed for

the purpose of punishing a person on the grounds of his or her

sex, race, religion, ethnic origin, nationality, language,

political opinions or sexual orientation, or that that person's

position may be prejudiced on any one of those grounds,

(6) This Agreement should not prevent any Contracting Party

from applying its constitutional rules relating to due process,

freedom of association, freedom of the press and freedom of

expression in other media.

HAVE AGREED AS FOLLOWS:

Article 1

Definitions

For the purposes of this Agreement:

(a) 'judgment' shall mean a final decision or order of a court

of the issuing State imposing a sentence on a natural person;

(b) 'sentence' shall mean any custodial sentence or any

measure involving deprivation of liberty imposed for a limited or

unlimited period of time on account of a criminal offence on the

basis of criminal proceedings;

is delivered;

(d) 'executing State' shall mean the State to which a judgment

is forwarded for the purpose of its recognition and

enforcement;

(e) the State in which the sentenced person 'lives', indicates

the place to which that person is attached based on habitual

residence and on elements such as family, social or professional

ties;

(f) 'nationality' shall mean for Latvia, citizenship of Latvia

and persons who are subject of the Law "On the Status of

Former USSR Citizens who are not Citizens of Latvia or any other

State" and, for Norway, citizenship of Norway.

Article 2

Determination of the competent authorities

The Contracting Parties shall without undue delay inform each

other which authority or authorities, under its national law, are

competent in accordance with this Agreement, when that

Contracting Party is the issuing State or the executing

State.

Article 3

Purpose and scope

1. The purpose of this Agreement is to establish the rules

under which a Contracting Party, with a view to facilitating the

social rehabilitation of the sentenced person, is to recognise a

judgment and enforce the sentence.

2. This Agreement shall apply where the sentenced person is in

the issuing State or in the executing State.

3. This Agreement shall apply only to the recognition of

judgments and the enforcement of sentences within the meaning of

this Agreement. The fact that, in addition to the sentence, a

fine and/or a confiscation order has been imposed, which has not

yet been paid, recovered or enforced, shall not prevent a

judgment from being forwarded.

4. This Agreement shall not have the effect of modifying the

obligation to respect fundamental rights and fundamental legal

principles as enshrined in the European Convention for the

Protection on Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms of 4 November

1950.

Article 4

Criteria for forwarding a judgment and a certificate

1. Provided that the sentenced person is in the issuing State

or in the executing State, and provided that this person has

given his or her consent where required under Article 6, a

judgment, together with the certificate for which the standard

form is given in Annex I, may be forwarded to the other

Contracting Party when:

(a) the other Contracting Party is the State of nationality of

the sentenced person in which he or she lives; or

(b) the other Contracting Party is the State of nationality,

to which, while not being the State where he or she lives, the

sentenced person will be deported, once he or she is released

from the enforcement of the sentence on the basis of an expulsion

or deportation order included in the judgment or in a judicial or

administrative decision or any other measure taken consequential

to the judgment.

c) the other Contracting Party is the State, of which, while

not being the State of nationality, the sentenced person has such

close ties to, that a transfer is deemed appropriate, and the

competent authority of that Contracting Party consents to the

forwarding of the judgment and the certificate. In case close

ties of the sentenced person are based on habitual residence, he

or she shall have been legally residing in the other Contracting

Party continuously for at least five years and shall retain a

permanent right of residence there.

2. The forwarding of the judgment and the certificate may take

place where the competent authority of the issuing State, where

appropriate after consultations between the competent authorities

of the issuing and the executing States, is satisfied that the

enforcement of the sentence by the executing State would serve

the purpose of facilitating the social rehabilitation of the

sentenced person.

3. Before forwarding the judgment and the certificate, the

competent authority of the issuing State may consult, by any

appropriate means, the competent authority of the executing

State. Consultation shall be obligatory in the cases referred to

in paragraph 1(c). In such cases the competent authority of the

executing State shall promptly inform the issuing State of its

decision whether or not to consent to the forwarding of the

judgment.

4. During such consultation, the competent authority of the

executing State may present the competent authority of the

issuing State with a reasoned opinion, that enforcement of the

sentence in the executing State would not serve the purpose of

facilitating the social rehabilitation and successful

reintegration of the sentenced person into society.

Where there has been no consultation, such an opinion may be

presented without delay after the transmission of the judgment

and the certificate. The competent authority of the issuing State

shall consider such opinion and decide whether to withdraw the

certificate or not.

5. The executing State may, on its own initiative, request the

issuing State to forward the judgment together with the

certificate. The sentenced person may also request the competent

authorities of the issuing State or of the executing State to

initiate a procedure for forwarding the judgment and the

certificate under this Agreement. Requests made under this

paragraph shall not create an obligation of the issuing State to

forward the judgment together with the certificate.

6. In cases where the sentenced person could be transferred to

a Contracting Party and to a third state under national law or

international instruments, the competent authorities of the

issuing and executing States should, in consultations, consider

whether enforcement in the executing State would enhance the aim

of social rehabilitation better than enforcement in the third

country.

Article 5

Forwarding of the judgment and the certificate

1. The judgment or a certified copy of it, together with the

certificate, shall be forwarded, by the competent authority of

the issuing State directly to the competent authority of the

executing State by any means which leaves a written record under

conditions allowing the executing State to establish its

authenticity. The original of the judgment, or a certified copy

of it, and the original of the certificate, shall be sent to the

executing State if it so requires. All official communications

shall also be made directly between the said competent

authorities.

2. The certificate shall be signed, and its content certified

as accurate, by the competent authority of the issuing State.

3. When an authority of the executing State which receives a

judgment together with a certificate has no competence to

recognise it and take the necessary measures for its enforcement,

it shall, ex officio, forward the judgment together with

the certificate to the competent authority of the executing State

and inform the competent authority of the issuing State

accordingly.

Article 6

Opinion and notification of the sentenced person

1. Without prejudice to paragraph 2, a judgment together with

a certificate may be forwarded to the executing State for the

purpose of its recognition and enforcement of the sentence only

with the consent of the sentenced person in accordance with the

law of the issuing State.

2. The consent of the sentenced person to the transfer of the

execution of the sentence shall not be required where:

(a) the sentenced person is a national of the executing State

and lives in that State;

(b) the sentenced person will be deported to the executing

State once he or she is released from the enforcement of the

sentence on the basis of an expulsion or deportation order

included in the judgment or in a judicial or administrative

decision or any other measure consequential to the judgment;

executing State in view of the criminal proceedings pending

against him or her in the issuing State or following the

conviction in that issuing State.

3. In all cases where the sentenced person is still in the

issuing State, he or she shall be given an opportunity to state

his or her opinion orally or in writing. Where the issuing State

considers it necessary in view of the sentenced person's age or

his or her physical or mental condition, that opportunity shall

be given to his or her legal representative.

The opinion of the sentenced person shall be taken into

account when deciding the issue of forwarding the judgment

together with the certificate. Where the person has availed him

or her self of the opportunity provided in this paragraph, the

opinion of the sentenced person shall be forwarded to the

executing State. If the sentenced person stated his or her

opinion orally, the issuing State shall ensure that the written

record of such statement is available to the executing State.

4. The competent authority of the issuing State shall inform

the sentenced person, in a language which he or she understands,

that it has decided to forward the judgment together with the

out in Annex II. When the sentenced person is in the executing

State at the time of that decision, the notification thereof

shall be transmitted to the executing State, which shall inform

the sentenced person accordingly.

Article 7

Recognition of the judgment and enforcement of the sentence

1. The competent authority of the executing State shall

recognise a judgment which has been forwarded in accordance with

the procedure under this Agreement, and shall forthwith take all

the necessary measures for the enforcement of the sentence,

unless it decides to invoke one of the grounds for

non-recognition and non-enforcement provided for in Article

2. Where the sentence is incompatible with the law of the

executing State in terms of its duration, the competent authority

of the executing State may decide to adapt the sentence only

where that sentence exceeds the maximum penalty provided for

similar offences under its national law. The adapted sentence

shall not be less than the maximum penalty provided for similar

offences under the law of the executing State.

3. Where the sentence is incompatible with the law of the

executing State in terms of its nature, the competent authority

of the executing State may adapt it to the punishment or measure

provided for under its own law for similar offences. Such a

punishment or measure shall correspond as closely as possible to

the sentence imposed in the issuing State and therefore the

sentence shall not be converted into a pecuniary punishment.

4. The adapted sentence shall not aggravate the sentence

passed in the issuing State in terms of its nature or

duration.

Article 8

Grounds for non-recognition and non-enforcement

1. The competent authority of the executing State may refuse

to recognise the judgment and enforce the sentence, if:

(a) the certificate referred to in Article 4 is incomplete or

manifestly does not correspond to the judgment and has not been

completed or corrected within a reasonable deadline set by the

competent authority of the executing State;

(b) the criteria set forth in Article 4(1) are not met;

principle of ne bis in idem;

(d) the judgment relates to acts which would not constitute an

offence under the law of the executing State. However, in

relation to taxes or duties, customs and exchange, execution of a

judgment may not be refused on the ground that the law of the

executing State does not impose the same kind of tax or duty or

does not contain the same type of rules as regards taxes, duties

and customs and exchange regulations as the law of the issuing

State;

(e) the enforcement of the sentence is statute-barred

according to the law of the executing State;

(f) there is immunity under the law of the executing State,

which makes it impossible to enforce the sentence;

(g) the sentence has been imposed on a person who, under the

law of the executing State, owing to his or her age, could not

have been held criminally liable for the acts in respect of which

the judgment was issued;

(h) at the time the judgment was received by the competent

authority of the executing State, less than 6 months of the

sentence remain to be served;

(i) according to the certificate provided for in Article 4,

the person did not appear in person at the trial resulting in the

decision, unless the certificate states that the person, in

accordance with further procedural requirements defined in the

national law of the issuing State:

(1) In due time:

- either was summoned in person and thereby informed of the

scheduled date and place of the trial which resulted in the

decision, or by other means actually received official

information of the scheduled date and place of that trial in such

a manner that it was unequivocally established that he or she was

aware of the scheduled trial, and

- was informed that a decision may be handed down if he or she

does not appear for the trial;

(2) being aware of the scheduled trial had given a mandate to

a legal counselor, who was either appointed by the person

concerned or by the State, to defend him or her at the trial, and

was indeed defended by that counselor at the trial;

(3) after being served with the decision and being expressly

informed of the right to a retrial, or an appeal, in which the

person has the right to participate and which allows the merits

of the case, including fresh evidence, to be reexamined, and

which may lead to the original decision being reversed:

- expressly stated that he or she does not contest the

decision,

- did not request a retrial or appeal within the applicable

time frame.

(j) the executing State, before a decision is taken in

accordance with Article 11(1), makes a request, in accordance

with Article 16(3), and the issuing State does not consent, in

accordance with Article 16(2)(g), to the person concerned being

prosecuted, sentenced or otherwise deprived of his or her liberty

in the executing State for an offence committed prior to the

transfer other than that for which the person was

transferred;

(k) the sentence imposed includes a measure of psychiatric or

health care or another measure involving deprivation of liberty,

which, notwithstanding Article 7(3) cannot be executed by the

executing State in accordance with its legal or health care

system.

2. In the cases referred to in paragraph 1(a), (b), (c), (d),

(i) and (k) before deciding not to recognise the judgment and

enforce the sentence, the competent authority of the executing

State shall consult the competent authority of the issuing State,

by any appropriate means, and shall, where appropriate, ask it to

supply any necessary additional information without delay.

Article 9

Partial recognition and enforcement

1. If the competent authority of the executing State could

consider recognition of the judgment and enforcement of the

sentence in part, it may, before deciding to refuse recognition

of the judgment and enforcement of the sentence in whole, consult

the competent authority of the issuing State with a view to

finding an agreement, as provided for in paragraph 2.

2. The competent authorities of the issuing and the executing

States may agree, on a case-by-case basis, to the partial

recognition and enforcement of a sentence in accordance with the

conditions set out by them, provided such recognition and

enforcement does not result in the aggravation of the duration of

the sentence. In the absence of such agreement, the certificate

shall be withdrawn.

Article 10

Postponement of recognition of the judgment

1. The recognition of the judgment may be postponed in the

executing State where the certificate referred to in Article 4 is

incomplete or manifestly does not correspond to the judgment,

until such reasonable deadline set by the executing State for the

certificate to be completed or corrected.

2. Paragraph 1 is applicable mutatis mutandis to cases

where the certificate, the judgment and other necessary

documentation are not translated in accordance with Article

21.

Article 11

2. Unless a ground for postponement exists under Article 10,

the final decision on the recognition of the judgment and the

enforcement of the sentence shall be taken as soon as possible

and within a period of 90 days of receipt of the judgment and the

certificate.

3. When in exceptional cases it is not possible for the

competent authority of the executing State to comply with the

period provided for in paragraph 2, it shall without delay inform

the competent authority of the issuing State by any means, giving

the reasons for the delay and the estimated time needed for the

final decision to be taken.

Article 12

Withdrawal of the certificate

As long as the enforcement of the sentence in the executing

State has not begun, the issuing State may withdraw the

certificate from that State, giving reasons for doing so. Upon

withdrawal of the certificate, the executing State shall no

longer enforce the sentence.

Article 13

Provisional arrest

Where the sentenced person is in the executing State, the

executing State may, at the request of the issuing State, before

the arrival of the judgment and the certificate, or before the

decision to recognise the judgment and enforce the sentence,

arrest the sentenced person, or take any other measure to ensure

that the sentenced person remains in its territory, pending a

decision to recognise the judgment and enforce the sentence. The

duration of the sentence shall not be aggravated as a result of

any period spent in custody by reason of this provision.

Article 14

Transfer of sentenced persons

1. If the sentenced person is in the issuing State, he or she

shall be transferred to the executing State at a time agreed

between the competent authorities of the issuing and the

executing States, and no later than 30 days after the final

decision of the executing State on the recognition of the

judgment and enforcement of the sentence has been taken.

2. The issuing State shall be responsible for the transfer of

the sentenced person to the territory of the executing State,

including obtaining any necessary authorisation for transit.

3. If the transfer of the sentenced person within the period

laid down in paragraph 1 is prevented by unforeseen

circumstances, the competent authorities of the issuing and

executing States shall immediately contact each other. Transfer

shall take place as soon as these circumstances cease to exist.

The competent authority of the issuing State shall immediately

inform the competent authority of the executing State and agree

on a new transfer date. In that event, transfer shall take place

within 10 days after the new date thus agreed.

Article 15

Law governing enforcement

1. The enforcement of a sentence shall be governed by the law

of the executing State. The authorities of the executing State

alone shall, subject to paragraphs 2 and 3, be competent to

decide on the procedures for enforcement and to determine all the

measures relating thereto, including the grounds for early or

conditional release.

2. The competent authority of the executing State shall deduct

the full period of deprivation of liberty already served in

connection with the sentence in respect of which the judgment was

issued from the total duration of the deprivation of liberty to

be served.

3. The competent authority of the executing State shall, upon

request, inform the competent authority of the issuing State of

the applicable provisions on possible early or conditional

release. The issuing State may agree to the application of such

provisions or it may withdraw the certificate.

Article 16

Specialty

1. A person transferred to the executing State pursuant to

this Agreement shall not, subject to paragraph 2, be prosecuted,

sentenced or otherwise deprived of his or her liberty for an

(a) when the person having had an opportunity to leave the

territory of the executing State has not done so within 45 days

of his or her final discharge, or has returned to that territory

after leaving it;

(b) when the offence is not punishable by a custodial sentence

or detention order;

application of a measure restricting personal liberty;

(d) when the sentenced person could be liable to a penalty or

a measure not involving deprivation of liberty, in particular a

financial penalty or a measure in lieu thereof, even if

the penalty or measure in lieu may give rise to a

restriction of his or her personal liberty;

(e) when the sentenced person consented to the transfer;

(f) when the sentenced person, after his or her transfer, has

expressly renounced entitlement to the specialty rule with regard

to specific offences preceding his or her transfer. Renunciation

executing State and shall be recorded in accordance with that

State's national law. The renunciation shall be drawn up in such

a way as to make clear that the person has given it voluntarily

and in full awareness of the consequences. To that end, the

person shall have the right to legal counsel;

(g) for cases other than those mentioned under points (a) to

(f), where the issuing State gives its consent in accordance with

paragraph 3.

or measure referred to in paragraph 1.

delay inform the competent authority of the issuing State by any

means which leaves a written record:

(a) of the forwarding of the judgment and the certificate to

the competent authority responsible for its execution in

accordance with Article 5(3);

(b) of the fact that it is in practice impossible to enforce

the sentence;

enforce the sentence together with the date of the decision;

NOTIFICATION OF

You are hereby notified of the decision of … (competent

authority of the issuing State) to forward the judgment of …

purpose of its recognition and enforcement of the sentence

imposed therein in accordance with the Treaty between the

Republic of Latvia and the Kingdom of Norway on recognition and

enforcement of judgments in criminal matters imposing custodial

sentences or measures involving deprivation of liberty.

The enforcement of the sentence will be governed by the law of
