3.  Such termination shall be subject to the condition that the foreign national does not return to the 
Netherlands. 
4.  If Our Minister intends to implement the provisions of subsection (1), he shall notify the convicted 
offender of this intention. Our Minister may request the advice of the Public Prosecution Service on 
the intention to implement subsection (1). In that case the recommendation shall be enclosed with 
the notification of the intention to be sent to the convicted offender. 
5.  The convicted offender may file a notice of objection against the intention of Our Minister to the 
court, which as highest court determining questions of fact imposed the sanction involving 
deprivation of liberty, within fourteen days after receipt of the notification. The court shall examine 
whether, in weighing up the interests involved, Our Minister could have reasonably arrived at the 
intended decision, as soon as possible after receipt of a timely submitted notice of objection. The 
convicted offender shall be heard during the examination, and at any rate shall be notified to 
appear at the hearing. If the convicted offender has not already been assigned a defence counsel, 
the presiding judge shall instruct the Legal Aid Council to arrange the assignment of a defence 
counsel. Sections 21 to 25 inclusive of the Code of Criminal Procedure shall apply mutatis 
mutandis. The court shall give Our Minister and the convicted offender written notice of its 
decision. 
6.  The entrustment order shall come into effect again if the foreign national fails to comply with the 
condition referred to in subsection (3). In that case, on application of the Public Prosecution 
Service, the court may issue an order for resumption of the compulsory treatment. The term of the 
detention under an entrustment order shall start to run from the date of th
e foreign national’s arrest. 
If the period of time between the date of the foreign national’s removal and the date of submission 
of the application of the Public Prosecution Service amounts to three years or more, section 37(2) 
shall apply mutatis mutandis. 
7.  The entrustment order, which has again come into effect under subsection (6), shall be terminated 
by operation of law, if the public prosecutor has submitted an application as referred to in 
subsection (6) and the court has rejected this application. 
Section 38lb 
The court may, ex officio or on application of the Public Prosecution Service, terminate detention under 
an entrustment order with compulsory treatment with regard to a foreign national who does not have 
legal residence in the Netherlands within the meaning of section 8 of the Aliens Act 2000, subject to 
the condition that the foreign national does not return to the Netherlands. Section 38la(6) and (7) shall 
apply mutatis mutandis.
