(Police and judicial cooperation in criminal matters - Framework Decision 2002/584/JHA - European arrest warrant and surrender procedures between Member States - Article 4(6) - Ground for optional non-execution of the European arrest warrant - Implementation in national law - Arrested person is a national of the issuing Member State - European arrest warrant issued for the purposes of enforcing a custodial sentence - Legislation of a Member State restricting the power not to execute the European arrest warrant to cases where the requested persons are nationals of that State)
(2012/C 331/07)
Language of the case: French
Reference for a preliminary ruling — Cour d’appel d’Amiens — Interpretation of Article 4(6) of Council Framework Decision 2002/584/JHA of 13 June 2002 on the European arrest warrant and the surrender procedures between Member States (OJ 2002 L 190, p. 1) and Article 18 TFEU — European arrest warrant issued for the purposes of enforcing a custodial sentence — Legislation of a Member State restricting the option of non-execution of a European arrest warrant to cases in which the persons sought are nationals of that Member State — Discrimination based on nationality
Article 4(6) of Council Framework Decision 2002/584/JHA of 13 June 2002 on the European arrest warrant and the surrender procedures between Member States and Article 18 TFEU must be interpreted as meaning that, although a Member State may, in transposing Article 4(6), decide to limit the situations in which an executing judicial authority may refuse to surrender a person who falls within the scope of that provision, it cannot automatically and absolutely exclude from its scope the nationals of other Member States staying or resident in its territory irrespective of their connections with it.
The national court is required, taking into consideration the whole body of domestic law and applying the interpretative methods recognised by it, to interpret that law, so far as possible, in the light of the wording and the purpose of Framework Decision 2002/584, with a view to ensuring that that framework decision is fully effective and to achieving an outcome consistent with the objective pursued by it.
