"This report shows that efforts are clearly being made to obtain increased cooperation within the area of criminal law. The Council is called on to prohibit the Member States from reintroducing systematic verification of double criminality, as well as to integrate the European arrest warrant into the first pillar.
The report reveals major problems in implementing the arrest warrant. The Member States have clearly shown that they wish to retain parts of the traditional extradition system.
Some countries have refused to enforce the arrest warrant against their own citizens, citing discrimination or the infringement of fundamental rights as grounds for not doing so. Others have retained or reintroduced verification of double criminality.
The June List believes that these are clear signs that the Member States are safeguarding their sovereignty in the area of criminal law. Few measures that can be taken against an individual are as far-reaching in their effects as legal proceedings or the requirement to serve a sentence. That is why legal certainty must take precedence over the simplification and efficiency that, according to the report, the European arrest warrant brings about.
The June List rejects increased supranationalism and believes that this is an issue for the individual nations. We have thus chosen to vote against the report."@en1
