European Arrest Warrant – Comparison of the Extradition and the European Arrest Warrant
Klimová, Kateřina ; Druláková, Radka (advisor) ; Novotná, Markéta (referee)
The Framework decision on the European Arrest Warrant and the surrender procedures between Member States (2002/584/SVV) adopted by the Council of the European Union on 13th June 2002 established the institute of the European Arrest Warrant between Member States which completely replaced existing extradition procedures between the Member States of the European Union. The implementation of the European Arrest Warrant was caused both by increasing cross-border criminality and terrorist attacks on September 11th 2001 in the USA. The aim of its implementation was to increase the efficiency of the existing extradition procedures between EU Member States. The Bachelor thesis titled: "European Arrest Warrant -- Comparison of the Extradition and the European Arrest Warrant" pursues a comparison of the European Arrest Warrant and classic extraditon procedures on the ground of comparing principles of both institutes. It emphasizes an important principle during the implementation of the European Arrest Warrant which is the principle of mutual recognition of judicial decisions. Furthermore, this thesis analyses benefits and shortcomings of the European Arrest Warrant. The shortcomings appear primarily in the practical implementation of the European Arrest Warrant, but its benefit is considerably bigger, so rightfully it is a breakthrough legal norm.
