As already indicated in the reply to parliamentary Question E-001695/2024, which was also related to the destruction of the Nord Stream pipeline, the European arrest warrant is a judicial procedure between judicial authorities in the Member States based on the particular circumstances of each individual case where surrender is requested.
Neither the Commission nor the Member States’ governments can interfere or influence decisions taken by judicial authorities.
The European Union Agency for Criminal Justice Cooperation is tasked to facilitate the execution of requests for, and decisions on, judicial cooperation, including requests and decisions based on the European arrest warrant.
