Advocaten voor de Wereld VZW, a decision of the European Court of Justice concerning the European Arrest Warrant

Summary/Abstract: The study looks at the institution of the European arrest warrant, conceived as a simplified instrument providing legal assistance in the field of criminal law and designed to replace the extradition procedures among member states. The author sees the European arrest warrant as a clear, unique procedure and is favorable toward its strictly judicial status. The study further analyzes the implications of creating an European legal area, including the remission of nationals. Moving from the theoretical framework to the decision of the Court of Justice in the case of Advocaten voor de Wereld VZW vs. Leden van de Ministerraad, the study discusses (a) the claim that the goals of the EU treaties include the creation of an area of freedom, security and justice; and (b) the distinction between the role of the European arrest warrant and the question of harmonizing criminal law systems.
