The European Arrest Warrant (EAW) is an arrest warrant valid throughout all member states of the European Union (EU). Once issued, it requires another member state to arrest and transfer a criminal suspect or sentenced person to the issuing state so that the person can be put on trial or complete a detention period.
An EAW can only be issued for the purposes of conducting a criminal prosecution (not merely an investigation), or enforcing a custodial sentence. It can only be issued for offences carrying a maximum penalty of 12 months or more in prison. Where sentence has already been passed an EAW can only be issued if the prison term to be enforced is at least four months long.
The introduction of the EAW system was intended to increase the speed and ease of extradition throughout EU countries by removing the political and administrative phases of decision-making which had characterised the previous system of extradition in Europe, and converting the process into a system run entirely by the judiciary. Since it was first implemented in 2004 the use of the EAW has steadily risen. Member state country evaluation reports suggest that the number of EAWs issued has increased from approximately 3,000 in 2004 to 13,500 in 2008.

The European Parliament (EP) is the directly elected parliamentary institution of the European Union (EU). Together with the Council of the European Union (the Council) and the European Commission, it exercises the legislative function of the EU. The Parliament is composed of 751 (previously 766) members, who represent the second largest democratic electorate in the world (after the Parliament of India) and the largest trans-national democratic electorate in the world (375 million eligible voters in 2009).
It has been directly elected every five years by universal suffrage since 1979. However, turnout at European Parliament elections has fallen consecutively at each election since that date, and has been under 50% since 1999. Turnout in 2014 stood at 42.54% of all European voters.
Although the European Parliament has legislative power that the Council and Commission do not possess, it does not formally possess legislative initiative, as most national parliaments of European Union member states do. The Parliament is the "first institution" of the EU (mentioned first in the treaties, having ceremonial precedence over all authority at European level), and shares equal legislative and budgetary powers with the Council (except in a few areas where the special legislative procedures apply). It likewise has equal control over the EU budget. Finally, the European Commission, the executive body of the EU, is accountable to Parliament. In particular, Parliament elects the President of the Commission, and approves (or rejects) the appointment of the Commission as a whole. It can subsequently force the Commission as a body to resign by adopting a motion of censure.
The European Union (EU) is a politico-economic union of 28 member states that are located primarily in Europe. It covers an area of 4,324,782 km2, with an estimated population of over 508 million. The EU operates through a system of supranational institutions and intergovernmental-negotiated decisions by the member states. The institutions are: the European Parliament, the European Council, the Council of the European Union, the European Commission, the Court of Justice of the European Union, the European Central Bank, and the Court of Auditors. The European Parliament is elected every five years by EU citizens.
The EU has developed an internal single market through a standardised system of laws that apply in all member states. Within the Schengen Area, passport controls have been abolished. EU policies aim to ensure the free movement of people, goods, services, and capital, enact legislation in justice and home affairs, and maintain common policies on trade,agriculture,fisheries, and regional development. The monetary union was established in 1999 and came into full force in 2002. It is currently composed of 19 member states that use the euro as their legal tender.

'European Arrest Warrant': an insult to justice!
This movie shows how states in Europe cooperate to combat crime. One of the main instruments for this is the European Arrest Warrant.
The Commons Speaker, John Bercow, said: ‘I have given a fairly clear indication that this has been a sorry saga, and the house should not be put in this position.’ David Cameron has withdrawn his commitment to holding a vote on the European arrest warrant in a move that the Speaker of the House of Commons said would be regarded as “contemptuous” by the public. MPs from all parties lined up to criticise a government “stitch-up” as it emerged they would be allowed to vote on only 11 relatively minor EU justice and home affairs measures, not the whole package of 35 that includes the European arrest warrant.

A rtunes video. The Tyranny of the European Arrest Warrant is presented here By UKIP MEP William Dartmouth and a father, Mark Turner, whos son was thrown into a Hungarian Jail with no charges for 4 months. The complaint should have been handled in a civil court - but instead a gang of Law enforcement thugs arrest son Michael Turner with no evidence or charges. Later his life savings, over 100 Thousand Pounds, was spent getting his son free. Extreme conditions, unfair imprisonment, and you are guilty until you prove yourself innocent versus the full resources of the State in Hungary. This is Governmental suppression and thuggery of the people, and something that is not illegal in Britain may be so in Hungary and within the EU....But you can be extradited to Hungary to face their "Justice" s...

Pro-Leave UK Justice Secretary Michael Gove has slammed the “invincible arrogance of Europe’s elites” during an interview, in which he accused the prime minister of scaremongering. In an astonishing attack on his own party leader, the justice secretary says that David Cameron and other remain supporters were treating British voters as if they were “too small, too poor and … too stupid” to go it alone outside the EU. Gove says the Remain camp are guilty of a “depressing litany of projections about world war three and global Brexit recession,” saying it is the Leave campaign that is “project hope”. The UK Justice Secretary warns that most people in Britain are suffering because of membership of the EU and that the EU is a “job destroying machine.” However, he has had to admit that it is not ...

In 2010 Mark Turner's son, and his friend, were arrested by Hungarian Police and extradited to a Hungarian Jail, with no way for the British Legal system to stop the arrest. The European arrest warrant (EAW) was conceived in the shocked atmosphere after the attacks on the World Trade Centre in New York on 11 September, 2001. In Britain, it came into force in 2004. Designed to fast-track suspects of serious crime and terrorism to face trial, critics say it is being used instead for comparatively minor cases, bypassing traditional safeguards, and leaving citizens of one country at the mercy of criminal procedures in another. More than 9,000 EAWs were issued Europe-wide in 2007. In this case The Hungarian side deny the British complaint that they misused the extradition procedure: "Hungaria...
