THE EUROPEAN ARREST WARRANT: ROMANIAN AND EUROPEAN DOCTRINE ROMANIIAN AND EUROPEAN LEGISLATION C.E.D.O. and C.J.C.E. JURISPRUDENCE ROMANIAN JURISPRUDENCE CRITICAL OBSERVATIONS

The tragic events from September 2001 in the USA, generated new reasons to
intensify the cooperation in criminal matters, the main problem still being the one
related to tracking, identifying and catching the suspects, who, after committing a
crime, hide on the territory of another state, the purpose being the to escape from
criminal prosecution, trial or imprisonment.
On the background of the tragic events that took place into the world, in particular the
terrorist attacks, was adopted the Frame Decision 2002/584/JAI of the Council from
June 13, 2002, regarding the European arrest warrant, and the surrender procedure in
the member states.
In this paperwork, beside other aspects, the normative act mentioned above (which
inspired the title of the paperwork) is analyzed, as well the Romanian special law
which regulates the judicial international cooperation activity in criminal matters,
pointing, of course, to the provisions that transpose the European arrest warrant in
the internal legislation.
