I move amendment No. 29:

In page 31, to delete lines 7 to 17 and substitute the following: “(6) The duration of a sentence adapted under subsection (5)shall, as far as practicable, correspond to the duration of the sentence imposed in the issuing state and shall not, in any event, either—
(a) aggravate it, or

(b) exceed the maximum penalty prescribed by the law of the State for a similar offence.”.
