European Arrest Warrant European Union (EU) member states' judiciary will no longer have to go through the formal extradition procedure in order to transfer a person from one member state to another for conducting a criminal prosecution or executing a custodial sentence or detention order.
The EU reached a political agreement on the European Arrest warrant. Its purpose is to facilitate law enforcement right across the EU.
The European arrest warrant came into force in 2004. The agreement carries through the European Council conclusions which state that “the formal extradition procedure should be abolished among the Member States as far as persons are concerned who are fleeing from justice after having been finally sentenced”.
