“The French government has called our team to have a discussion on Monday (tomorrow) and from that we will know the way forward”, he said here yesterday.
MH370 mysteriously vanished en route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing a year ago.
Investigators believe someone deliberately switched off MH370’s transponder before diverting it thousands of miles off course.
The experts, including a legal expert, will start their inquiry on Wednesday, according to the Paris prosecutor’s office, the Associated Press reported.
Investigators, including representatives from the airplane manufacturer Boeing, said this week that they believe debris that was spotted on the Indian Ocean island matches the missing plane.
An investigating source told CNN that Boeing engineers have seen a part number – 10-60754-1133 – in photos of the component.
A BBC report says the object may have a data tag with a serial number that could be directly traceable to MH370.
Police carry a piece of debris from an unidentified aircraft found in the coastal area of Saint-Andre de la Reunion, in the east of the French Indian Ocean island of La Reunion.
“If the debris really belongs to MH370, we hope that it will bring closure to the family of the victims, and put an end to all the wild theories out there”, he said. Investigators concluded by analyzing satellite signals that the jet turned back over the Indian Ocean and probably plunged into the sea off Australia’s western coast. A multinational search effort has so far come up empty.
Earlier, Martin Dolan, chief commissioner of the Australian Transport Safety Bureau, said the agency was “increasingly confident that this debris is from MH370”.
“Experts will have to analyse, if this is a piece of MH370, the current drifts and how it ended up there, what does that mean for the broader search question”.

Relatives said in a statement that, even if the wreckage is confirmed to be part of missing MH370, it should not dampen the resolve to find the rest of the wreckage, the whereabouts of all passengers and the reasons for its disappearance.
