question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer by Baroness Williams of Trafford on 7 October (HL8424), whether they intend any extradition from the UK to any EU jurisdiction after the end of transition period to be possible only with a court ruling that there is a prima facie case to answer; and if not, why not.

uin	HL10440
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 01/12/2020 answer text <p>There is no intention for extradition to any EU jurisdiction after the end of transition period to be made subject to a court ruling that there is a prima facie case.</p><p>In the absence of an agreement on Law Enforcement and Criminal Justice with the European Union, the UK’s extradition relations with EU Member States would be governed by the European Convention on Extradition 1957 and its Additional Protocols. The prima facie evidence requirement for extradition requests from States which are parties to the European Convention on Extradition was removed when the Convention came into force in the UK in May 1991. To introduce a prima facie case requirement would be incompatible with the Convention.</p><p>The Government’s approach to negotiations with the EU provides for extradition arrangements which are more streamlined than the European Convention on Extradition. The Government has not sought to introduce a prima facie case requirement, as to do so would render future arrangements with the EU less effective at bringing fugitives to justice than the Convention.</p> answering member printed Baroness Williams of Trafford question first answered 01/12/2020 17:50:49 answering member 4311 label Biography information for Baroness Williams of Trafford

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/04/2020 answer text <p>The European Arrest Warrant is an EU tool used exclusively by EU Member States. We have left the EU. In the future our relationship will be fundamentally different to that of a Member State.</p><p>The Government stands ready to discuss an agreement with the EU on law enforcement and judicial cooperation in criminal matters. As set out in our approach to negotiations, the agreement should provide for fast-track extradition arrangements with appropriate further safeguards beyond those provided for in the European Arrest Warrant. Such an agreement should equip operational partners on both sides with the capabilities that help protect citizens and bring criminals to justice.</p> answering member constituency Old Bexley and Sidcup answering member printed James Brokenshire question first answered 06/04/2020 15:43:10 answering member 1530 label Biography information for James Brokenshire
