Book Description
This report follows on from the Committee's previous examination of the proposed Framework Decision for the European Arrest Warrant (HL Paper 34, session 2001-02; ISBN: 0104027029). This measure proposes the replacement of current extradition procedures between EU Member States, with a system whereby a warrant for arrest issued in one Member State would be recognised and executed by a judicial authority in another Member State. The proposals have been made in the light of the September 11 terrorist attacks in the US, although the scope of application extends beyond terrorist offences to include any criminal offence for which a sentence of 12 months imprisonment applies. The Committee's report raises concern over two specific issues: the need to safeguard the application of human rights in the courts of the EU Member State executing the warrant; and judgements made in absentia.

Book Description
The European Arrest Warrant (EAW) is now widely used to secure the arrest and surrender of suspected criminals across the Union. The EAW has a key role to play in the fight against terrorism and in bringing those accused of serious crime to justice. This report draws attention to two recent developments relating to the EAW. Firstly, the EC Commission's recent report on the implementation of the EAW criticised Member States for inadequate or faulty implementation. Secondly, certain Member States' constitutional courts have found incompatibility with safeguards provided for their nationals. As a result, some legal uncertainty now surrounds the EAW. Until this is resolved the EAW may not be fully effective between Member States. Further, the adoption of other measures based on mutual recognition, such as the European Evidence Warrant, may be delayed. The report also makes available the written and oral evidence on these matters given by Mr Andy Burnham MP, Parliamentary Under Secretary of State in the Home Office.
The European Arrest Warrant in Practice

Book Description
Under the European Arrest Warrant (EAW) system, Member States of the European Union are under the obligation to arrest and surrender individuals upon the request of judicial authorities of other Member States. In doing this, it is important that human rights are respected and that there is room for national peculiarities. Awareness of what unites the Member States as well as respect for what makes them different, are prerequisites for a fruitful cooperation. This book will be a useful tool for those involved as practitioners in cooperating under the EAW scheme, e.g. judicial authorities, judges, and counsel representing and advising those who are subject to surrender. Moreover, it will evoke academic interest for its information on EAW practice. The reader will find comments on the various stages of the surrender procedure in a chronological order, starting with the content of the European Arrest Warrant, continuing with the refusal grounds, and ending with the consequences of surrender. The scope of the book goes beyond the frontiers of the European Union. Two chapters deal with other (regional) extradition systems: the one of the Nordic countries and the one of the United States. Nico Keijzer is a former justice in the Supreme Court of the Netherlands, and emiritus Professor of international criminal law at Tilburg University, the Netherlands. Elies van Sliedregt is Professor of criminal law at the VU University in Amsterdam, the Netherlands.

Book Description
2003: The European Arrest Warrant (EAW) is introduced under the Extradition Act. A mechanism intended to facilitate the speed and ease with which criminals are brought to justice, it prevents British courts from considering any evidence before extraditing a person wanted by the authorities of another European member state - a mechanism open to abuse and error. 2007: Eighteen-year-old Andrew Symeou travels to Greek island Zante to celebrate the end of exams with friends. While there, another British boy is punched in a nightclub and tragically dies two days later. The pair had never met and Andrew was in another nightclub at the time. Greek police beat witnesses, fabricate statements and pin the crime on a man from a photograph - one taken on a different night to the incident. 2008: Andrew is arrested at his north London home by British police with an EAW. He is wanted for murder. Private Eye described the Greek investigation as 'flawed, contradictory and in places ludicrous'. A British coroner slammed it as being 'a misguided effort to solve the crime'. Regardless, a British court was unable to prevent his extradition and, despite never having been questioned by police and publicly protesting his innocence, Andrew was thrown into a Greek prison with hardened criminals. He spent almost a year awaiting trial in truly horrific conditions, encountering violence, drugs, racism and rioting - the most extreme of which he witnessed in the infamous Korydallos Prison. ln 2011, Andrew was acquitted as the Greek police's case unravelled. Extradited is the honest, moving, yet witty account of Andrew's incredible fight for justice.
