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”. 10 27 International Police Cooperation Review of the lesson plan - Exercise 11 27 International Police Cooperation SUMMARY Interpol notices Schengen Information System SIRENE European Arrest Warrant 12 27 International Police Cooperation Questions? 13 27 .
