Book Description

Publication Date: March 19, 2009 | ISBN-10: 9067042935 | ISBN-13: 978-9067042932 | Edition: 1st Edition.

The European Arrest Warrant system is an extradition system between Member States of the European Union. Implemented in 2004, it has now had its first four years of application in practice. This book focuses on the most important differences between it and the former extradition system, discusses practical problems that have been encountered and offers recommendations for improvements. Readers 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. Two chapters deal with other (regional) extradition systems: the one of the Nordic countries and the one of the United States.

Editorial Reviews

Review

'... [a] readable and comprehensible book. ... represents a valuable piece of work ... The contributions are well written and instructive, providing not only an insight into the law as it stands but also as it should be. ... Here we have a book to be strongly recommended to academics working on this subject, to national (and European) practitioners confronted with EAW requests on a day-to-day basis and to anyone else who seeks to deepen his or her knowledge on the EAW.'
