64It should be recalled in this regard that Article 8(2) of Framework Decision 2008/909 permits the competent authority of the executing Member State to adapt the sentence imposed in the issuing Member State, where that sentence is incompatible with the law of the executing Member State. However, that authority can decide to adapt such a sentence only where it exceeds the maximum penalty provided for similar offences under its national law, and the adapted sentence must not be less than the maximum penalty provided for similar offences under the law of the executing Member State. In that context, Article 8(4) of Framework Decision 2008/909 states that the adapted sentence must not aggravate the sentence passed in the issuing Member State, particularly in terms of its duration.
