Questão jurídica principal
Whether the Commission had to seek a new consent from the Federal Office of Justice before authorizing retransmission to French criminal authorities.
Decisão extraída
A new consent was not necessary on the facts, because the legal qualification of the suspected offense had not changed and the new elements only reinforced the existing suspicion.
Fundamentação extraída
The prior motivated consent remained relevant; only a material change in facts or law would require a fresh opinion. Here the supplementary request did not aggravate the offense but added elements supporting the same insider-trading suspicion.
