The Federal Government declares that in the Federal Republic of Germany’s relations with other Member States which have made the same declaration, requests for supplementary information pursuant to Article 13 of the European Convention on Extradition may be made directly to the competent judicial authorities or other competent authorities and answered by them directly. Where the Federal Republic of Germany is the requested Member State, the public prosecutor’s offices at the Higher Regional Courts [Oberlandesgerichte] will be responsible for requesting and receiving supplementary information. Where Germany is the requesting Member State, the responsibility for requesting and transmitting supplementary information will lie with the head of the prosecution department [Generalbundesanwalt] at the Federal Supreme Court [Bundesgerichtshof], the public prosecutor’s offices at the Higher Regional Courts [Oberlandesgerichte] and the public prosecutor’s offices at the District Courts [Landgerichte]. Requests for information should be made directly to the prosecuting authority dealing with the particular extradition case.
