Artikel 10

1. In the case of conversion of sentence, the procedures provided for by the law of the administering State apply. When converting the sentence, the competent authority:
a) shall be bound by the findings as to the facts insofar as they appear explicitly or implicitly from the judgment imposed in the sentencing State;
b) may not convert a sanction involving deprivation of liberty to a pecuniary sanction;
c) shall deduct the full period of deprivation of liberty already served by the sentenced person; and
d) shall not aggravate the penal position of the sentenced person, and shall not be bound by any minimum which the law of the administering State may provide for the offence or offences committed.
2. If the conversion procedure takes place after the transfer of the sentenced person, the administering State shall keep that person in custody or take other measures to ensure his presence in the administering State, pending the outcome of that procedure.
