The Department of Foreign Affairs has not received any such documentation from the Ecuadorian authorities regarding facilitating the transfer of prisoners.

Our Honorary Consul in Ecuador, together with her EU colleagues, are in regular contact with the Ecuadorian Authorities with the objective of having the procedures of the Strasbourg Convention activated by Ecuador.
