Articles 10 and 14 of Law No. 69 of 2005 must be interpreted as meaning that, for the consent to surrender to be valid, the requested person must: (a) be assisted by a defence lawyer; (b) have been adequately informed of the content of the European Arrest Warrant, of the consequences of consenting to surrender, and of the irrevocability of such consent (as well as of the waiver of the benefit referred to in Article 10(1)). From the minutes of the validation hearing it emerges that the applicant, assisted by court-appointed counsel and in the presence of an interpreter, was informed of the content of the arrest warrant and of the possibility to consent, or not, to surrender to Spain, as well as to waive, or not, the principle of specialty. He was also informed that any consent and waiver given would be irrevocable.
