"Mr President, this directive includes the right to information for persons facing a European arrest warrant. In the case of an EAW, it will have to be a short letter. Subjects of EAWs effectively have no meaningful rights. Provided that the form has been correctly completed, the court has no power to refuse extradition. The court cannot base its decision on the prima facie evidence – or the lack of it – against the accused person. What is worse is that some people are being extradited, not after being charged, but to face investigation. One of my constituents in London, Dr Miguel-Ángel Meizoso, is facing extradition to Spain, not for something that he is alleged to have done, but for something he is accused of that he might possibly do in the future. If you do not believe me, I can give you the case papers. An English court would reject his extradition if it had any power to do so. Giving Dr Meizoso a nice letter will not protect him and will be small consolation."@en1
