Legal Terms – European Arrest Warrant (EAW)
An arrest warrant that forgoes the use of *extradition in order to improve collaboration across the national jurisdictions of the EU's member states. These warrants have been in effect since January 2004 and are based on a Framework Decision that was established in June 2002.
The UK departed the EAW framework with its exit from the EU and the conclusion of the Brexit implementation period. A new emphasis on proportionality and the removal of the European Court of Justice as the court of last resort are the primary differences between the EU and UK's provisions for the surrender of citizens, which were included in the *European Union (Future Relationship) Act 2020. All 27 EU members were included as "trusted countries" in the government's Extradition (Provisional Arrest) Act 2020 (Schedule A1), which stipulates that requests for extradition would typically be granted without a UK arrest warrant.
