I move amendment No. 16:

In page 11, after line 40, to insert the following: “(3) The Minister shall, at the request of the competent authority of an executing state, make all reasonable efforts to provide such information in connection with the transfer to the executing state of the sentenced person as may be specified in the request to—

(a) the sentenced person, or

(b) where section 12(3)applies, to the legal representative of the sentenced person, or any other person considered by the Minister to be an appropriate person for the purpose of that section.”.

Amendments Nos. 16 and 17 arise from stakeholder and Committee Stage discussions. The amendments make further provision in respect of the information that is provided to the sentenced person regarding an outward transfer and ensure that proper lines of communication exist between a sentenced person and a proposed executing state for such transfers.
