EU: COUNCIL PRESIDENCY-EAWs: Presidency: European arrest warrant is already a success (Presidency website, link). But see also: Thomas Hammarberg, Council of Europe Human Rights Commissioner: Call for wholesale review of EAWs (pdf): "there are now an average of more than one thousand [EAWs] per month, the overwhelming majority of which relate to minor ... The EAW has been used in cases for which it was not intended, sometimes with harsh consequences on the lives of the persons concerned. It is thus high time to reform a system that affects thousands of persons every year." See also: Fair Trials International - Submission to EAW Review (link)
