Subject: The Court affirmed that the Agreement between the European Union and the Republic of Iceland and the Kingdom of Norway on the surrender procedure between the Member States of the European Union and Iceland and Norway does not preclude the issuing of several successive arrest warrants against a requested person with a view to obtaining his or her surrender by a State party to that agreement after the execution of a first arrest warrant concerning that person has been refused by another State party to that agreement, provided that the execution of a new arrest warrant does not result in an infringement of that provision and provided that the issuing of that latter arrest warrant is proportionate. However, according to the Court, the Agreement precludes the execution of an arrest warrant by one State party from being refused solely on the ground that another State party has refused to execute a first arrest warrant issued by the Republic of Iceland or the Kingdom of Norway against the same person and for the same acts

Classification: Justice - Art. 49 Criminal Law
