answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/11/2014 answer text <p>The Government supports the new Trade Commissioner’s desire to bring greater transparency to trade negotiations. Official EU documents pertaining to trade negotiations should, in the Government’s view, as a matter of principle be published when to do so would not impact negatively on the EU’s ability to secure the best possible deal for Europe.</p><p>We have welcomed moves by the European Commission proactively to publish information on the Trade in Services Agreement (TiSA). For the first time the Commission has published the full text of the EU initial offer and the proposal papers put forward by the EU during the negotiations.

question text	To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether the UK may exclude any offences from the scope of the European Convention on Extradition that fall under the scope of the European Arrest Warrant and cannot be moved from that warrant's scope by the UK; and what offences the UK has so excluded.

tabling member printed	Jacob Rees-Mogg
uin	213180
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/11/2014 answer text <p>Article 2(3) of the European Convention on Extradition allows a Contracting Party to exclude offences from the application of the Convention where its domestic law does not allow extradition for those offences. At the time of ratification in May 1991, the UK made two reservations concerning Article 2 of the Convention. One of these reserved the right to refuse extradition if it appears, in relation to the offence(s) in respect of which a person's return is sought, that by reason of its trivial nature, or because the accusation is not made in good faith in the interests of justice, extradition would in all the circumstances be unjust or oppressive. The UK has not made any further reservations or notifications concerning Article 2. <br><br>Other Contracting Parties may also exclude offences under Article 2(3), making this a less effective tool than the European Arrest Warrant for returning wanted British criminals to face justice. <br><br>Under the Convention, extradition takes longer and is more expensive than surrender under the European Arrest Warrant. It is also less effective as a Contracting Party may also refuse to extradite its own nationals under the Convention, which means that some people may never face justice. <br>In non-European Arrest Warrant cases, the following EU Member States havean absolute bar on extraditing their own nationals to the UK:<br><br>Austria<br>Belgium<br>Czech Republic<br>Finland <br>France<br>Germany<br>Greece<br>Latvia<br>Luxembourg<br>Slovakia<br>Slovenia<br>Spain<br>Sweden<br><br>A further nine have made declarations to the European Convention on Extradition to the effect that they will not extradite their own nationals:<br><br>Bulgaria<br>Croatia<br>Cyprus<br>Estonia<br>Hungary<br>Lithuania<br>Poland<br>Portugal<br>Romania</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Old Bexley and Sidcup answering member printed James Brokenshire question first answered 17/11/2014 16:44:11 answering member 1530 label Biography information for James Brokenshire
