Division 3.6 Action by SIRENE bureaux upon receipt of an Article 95 alert

When a SIRENE bureau receives the A and M forms, the bureau or associated unit should, as soon as practicable, search all available sources to try and locate the subject. If the information provided by the requesting Member State is not sufficient for acceptance by the receiving Member State, this should not prevent the searches being carried out.

If the Article 95 alert is validated and the subject is located or arrested in the Member State, then the EAW and/or A and M forms shall be forwarded to the authority of the Member State which executes the EAW. If the original EAW is requested, it shall be sent by the issuing judicial authority directly to the executing judicial authority (unless otherwise directed).
