Questions referred

Must Article 28(3) of Framework Decision 2002/584/JHA, (1) read in the light of the right to effective judicial protection, be interpreted as meaning:

—

that a person who has been surrendered to the issuing Member State and in respect of whom a third Member State has subsequently issued an EAW for offences committed prior to that surrender, must be able to exercise his or her right to be heard in relation to the request for consent for subsequent surrender, as referred to in Article 28(3) of Framework Decision 2002/584/JHA, in the issuing Member State before a judicial authority of that Member State during the proceedings on the execution of the EAW issued by the third Member State; or

—	that that person must be able to exercise his right to be heard in the Member State which previously surrendered him to the executing judicial authority during the proceedings on the giving of consent for subsequent surrender?

If a surrendered person must be able to exercise his or her right to be heard in relation to the decision on a request for consent for subsequent surrender, as referred to in Article 28(3) of Framework Decision 2002/584/JHA, in the Member State which previously surrendered him or her, in what way must that Member State enable him or her to do so?
