Article 14Consultations between the requesting authority and requested authority#
1.Where necessary and without prejudice to Article 11(3), (5), (6) and (7), Article 13(3) and Article 19(2), the requesting authority and requested authority shall consult each other without undue delay to ensure the efficient application of this Regulation.
2.Consultations between the requesting authority and requested authority may also take place before the request for the transfer of criminal proceedings is issued, in particular with a view to determining whether the transfer would serve the interests of efficient and proper administration of justice, including whether it is proportionate. In order to propose that criminal proceedings from the requesting State be transferred, the requested authority may also consult the requesting authority as to whether it would be possible to issue a request for the transfer of criminal proceedings.
3.Where the requesting authority consults the requested authority prior to making a request for the transfer of criminal proceedings, it shall make information regarding the criminal proceedings available to the requested authority, unless to do so would undermine the confidentiality of an investigation or otherwise prejudice the investigation.
4.Where authorities receive requests for consultations under this Article, they shall answer them without undue delay.
