Procedural aspects: Information and Consent for transfer.313 In Slovenia, the suspect or accused person is interrogated and asked to give their consent orally by an investigative judge. The suspect can also give their consent in written form within eight days after the interrogation. 314 6.7. Right to revoke consent or change one’s opinion From a legal point of view, it appears problematic for suspected or sentenced persons to revoke their consent or to change their opinion. To reiterate – in principle, consent is not required for transfers of prisoners in accordance with the Framework Decision on transfer of prisoners; it is required only in exceptional cases. Nevertheless, in all cases, sentenced persons should have an opportunity to state their opinion and this opinion should be taken into consideration by the relevant authority deciding on the transfer. The Framework Decision does not address the possibility of revoking one’s consent to a transfer or changing one’s opinion. The Framework Decision on probation and alternative sanctions does not require any consent for transfers of probationary measures. By contrast, the Framework Decision on the ESO requires informed consent. Neither the Framework Decision on probation and alternative sanctions nor the Framework Decision on the ESO provide for a possibility to change one’s consent or opinion. It follows that this issue would be regulated by Member States’ domestic law, if at all. As the issue is fairly new, there may be no established practice and the rules may evolve. Where no provisions expressly prevent suspected, accused or sentenced persons from revoking their consent, actual practice or judicial interpretation might clarify whether such a possibility exists. Table 13 provides an overview of EU Member States in which sentenced persons have a right to revoke their consent or change their opinions in relation to the Framework Decision on transfer of prisoners.
