Article 8 Enforcement of Sentence

1. The Receiving Party shall ensure the continuing of enforcement of sentence in accordance with its laws.

The part of the punishment served in the territory of the Transferring Party shall be considered in the total term of the sentence.

3. Decision on enforcing additional punishment imposed by the judgement shall be taken by the court of the Receiving Party, if such punishment for the crime committed is provided for by the laws of such State. Additional punishment shall be enforced as specified in this Article.
