• the 2-month period available to the Committee to analyse the official declaration of euthanasia;
• the 1-month period, in the event of non-compliance with the procedure and/or legal conditions by the doctor, which the Medical Board has for:
  • taking a decision on any disciplinary proceedings against the doctor and/or;
    
  • transmitting the file to the public prosecutor's office for possible criminal prosecution.
