Abstract

A set of cases of the Court of Justice of the European Union have been adopted, supplementing the Framework Decision 2002/584/JHA on the European arrest warrant and the surrender procedures between Member States. The question repeatedly analysed in its case-law is whether the European arrest warrant can be issued by Public Prosecutor’s Offices. The contribution deals with the case-law of the Court of Justice dealing with this question. In seven sections the paper analyses relevant cases. In each case at the outset a reference for a preliminary ruling is mentioned. Further, dispute in the main proceedings and the question(s) referred for a preliminary ruling are analysed. The most important parts of analyses are considerations by the Court of Justice and its rulings.
