The Government agrees with the proposals of Fair Trials International (FTI) in their May 2011 report on the Arrest Warrant insofar as it agrees that appropriate safeguards should be in place for those subject to extradition proceedings.<\/p>
In particular, the Government agrees with FTI that both the issuing and the executing authorities should consider seriously the question of proportionality as it relates to the Arrest Warrant. That is why this year the Government made significant reforms to the Extradition Act 2003 in the Anti-social Behaviour Crime and Policing Act 2014 to ensure that a UK judge must consider whether the alleged conduct and likely sentence a person will receive if extradited and convicted is sufficiently serious to make the person\u2019s extradition proportionate. This is complemented by an administrative proportionality check, undertaken by the National Crime Agency (NCA), which identifies the most trivial requests when they are first received and refuses to certify them.<\/p>
Since the measures were commenced on 21 July 2014, 21 Arrest Warrants have been refused by the NCA on proportionality grounds.<\/p>
These changes are all designed to ensure that UK citizens benefit from adequate protections whilst allowing our police and prosecutors to benefit from the Arrest Warrant in the fight against crime.<\/p>
It should also be noted that the Second Generation of the Schengen Information System (SIS II) requires Member States to consider the question of proportionality before uploading an Arrest Warrant to that system for transmission. Therefore, when the UK connects to SIS II there will be a legal requirement on all other Member States operating SIS II to consider proportionality before transmitting an Arrest Warrant to the UK. The Government expects to connect to SIS II in the coming months.<\/p>
The Government also agrees with FTI that, in general, where an executing authority has refused an Arrest Warrant the issuing authority should withdraw the Arrest Warrant if it has also been sent to other Member States. SIS II will allow refused Arrest Warrants to be \u2018flagged\u2019 on this system, notifying other Member States that a case has been refused. Thus, if a UK court refuses an Arrest Warrant all other Member States using SIS II will be made aware of this fact.<\/p>
The Government also agrees with FTI that the executing States should seek from issuing States further information and guarantees, before deciding whether to execute Arrest Warrants in cases where evidence has been adduced of a serious risk of infringement of fundamental rights. UK courts can and do seek such guarantees (e.g. assurances as to prison conditions).<\/p>
The Government also agrees with FTI that those subject to Arrest Warrants should receive legal representation in the executing State, if they so wish. Where the individual concerned seeks legal advice and representation for proceedings in the issuing State, any application should be made in accordance with the rules governing the provision of such services in the issuing State.<\/p>
On 6 October 2014, new EU Justice Commissioner, Vera Jourová, said, "re-opening the [Arrest Warrant] at this point in time could be counter-productive, given<\/p>
the divergent views which could be expressed in the Council. I am of the opinion that we should focus on implementing already adopted legislation, on getting the instruments still on the table adopted as soon as possible and on improving cooperation between national authorities". As such, it seems unlikely the Commission intends to bring forward any proposals in the short-term.<\/p>
That is why we have put in place new safeguards in UK law.<\/p>

No Ministers or Home Office officials have any involvement in decisions about whether to issue Arrest Warrants, nor did they have any involvement in the decision to issue an Arrest Warrant for Ashya King\u2019s parents. The decision to seek an Arrest Warrant is an operational matter for the Police and the prosecuting authorities, in this case the Crown Prosecution Service. Any decision about whether to issue a warrant is a matter for a judge. The Director of Public Prosecutions told the Home Affairs Committee in her evidence on this matter on 14 October 2014 that at the time, the Crown Prosecution Service "reviewed the case" and "upon further evidence, reviewed it again" which led to them contacting Spain to request that the Arrest Warrant be discharged, which it was.<\/p>

The Government believes the Arrest Warrant has greatly improved extradition relations with Ireland, and has considered this matter extensively.
Between 1973 and 1999 eight people in total were extradited to the UK from Ireland for terrorism offences. However, during this period the UK made 110 extradition requests to the Republic of Ireland in relation to terrorist offences, meaning that less than 10% of UK requests were successful during this period.
Since April 2010, one person has been surrendered after being charged with a terrorist offence and two people have been surrendered after being charged with terrorist-related offences.
Patrick Gordon was arrested in Ireland in May 2013 and surrendered to the United Kingdom in May 2014. He is charged with possessing documents containing information of a kind likely to be used by terrorists - bomb making recipes to produce napalm type weapons.
Liam Rainey was surrendered to the UK in 2011. He was convicted of kidnapping a well-known republican in Belfast.
Ryan McKenna was arrested in Ireland in September 2013 and surrendered to the UK in February 2014. He is charged with conspiracy to cause explosions and possessing explosives. Along with four individuals he is accused of trying to bomb a railway line using an IED and a home-made mortar.
We are not aware of any UK requests to Ireland for terrorist and terrorism-related offences being refused under the Arrest Warrant.
The Government has also listened carefully to the views expressed by Irish and Northern Irish Minister in this regard. In an article in the Irish Independent on 6 November 2014, Irish Justice Minister Francs Fitzgerald emphasised that the Arrest Warrant had "greatly assisted our mutual efforts to fight cross-border crime and to bring serious criminals, including terrorists, to justice".
The Irish Government also made clear in a letter dated 4 September 2014 from the Justice Minister to the Home Secretary, that if the UK failed to opt in to the package of the Arrest Warrant by 1 December 2014, there would have been no guarantee that the courts would consider their obligations under previously issued Arrest Warrants to be ongoing. This could result in those being held in Irish prisons as a result of a UK issued Arrest Warrant walking free.
Between April 2010 and March 2014, of the 537 people who were surrendered to the United Kingdom from all Member States, 88 were surrendered from Ireland. This represents 16% of all surrenders to the United Kingdom during this period, and is the second highest overall surrender figure of all Member States. The following table sets out the numbers surrendered in each financial year:<\/p>
