A Belgian court decided on Thursday that Paris attacks suspect Salah Abdeslam should be extradited to France, Belgian public broadcaster VRT said, quoting unidentified prosecutors.
A spokesman for the Belgian federal prosecutors' office could not immediately confirm the report.
A lawyer for Abdeslam said earlier on Thursday that Abdeslam had dropped his initial objection to being extradited and had also renewed an offer to cooperate with the French authorities.
"Salah Abdeslam wishes to be transferred to the French authorities," Cedric Moisse told reporters. "He wishes to cooperate with the French authorities."
After his arrest on March 18, four months after the Nov. 13 Paris attacks that killed 130 people, Abdeslam answered some investigators' questions but then exercised his right to silence following the suicide bombings in Brussels on March 22.
Investigators believe the attacks in Paris and Brussels were carried out by militants from the same Islamic State network.
