TRIVIAL CASES UNDERMINING EUROPEAN ARREST WARRANTS, WARNS BRUSSELS
- SOURCE: The GuardianApril 10 2011
The warrants have been criticised by Fair Trials International for permitting a "disproportionate infringement of basic rights". According to the organisation, the UK received 2,403 requests from Poland last year.
The UK is one of the countries criticised for not making changes to its domestic legislation. Fair Trials International has called for legislative change in Brussels incorporating a threshold test in the warrant so that it could not be used for minior offences.
