Portugal states that it will not apply the simplified procedure provided for in the Convention to cases in which a formal extradition request provided for in paragraph 1, second indent, and paragraph 2 of that Article has been submitted. Nevertheless, Portuguese law applies as regards the point at which the person requested must give his consent, which is at the beginning of the judicial stage.

Portugal states that the following authorities shall be considered competent: (a) for the purposes of Articles 4 and 10, the competent judge of the Court of Appeal in whose district the person requested resides or is to be found at the time of the request; (b) for the purposes of Article 14, the Minister of Justice.
