 The European Arrest Warrant and its application by the Member States
The framework decision relative to the European Arrest Warrant and the surrender procedures between Member States adopted on 13th June 2002 symbolises the launch of the principle of mutual recognition in an area that has so far been on the sidelines of European Union policies, and that is criminal law.
This is why it comprises an excellent indicator of the desire on the part of the States to commit themselves on the route to the mutual recognition of judicial decisions in the law-enforcement area.
It is therefore founded on the idea of equivalence between the decision of the issuing State and those of the executing State and reciprocal confidence between Member States in the quality of their respective judicial procedures, a guarantee of judicial security.

Council of Europe standards provide for member states to honour their obligations not to transfer a person to a state where they risk the death penalty by accepting ad hoc and ad personam assurances that he or she will not be subjected to the death penalty upon return.
