"Enormous surprise – yes, I agree totally with you. The way that the EAW is worded is that in pre-trial cases it is for the purposes of criminal prosecution. It is not for the purposes of investigation, which is one of the reasons why the EIO is going to be so important – filling that gap, taking the strain off the EAW – and that is why we refer in the report to the need for trial readiness. The consultation procedure that we are envisaging will be very important, allowing the courts in the two countries to consult on that point. There are different systems in the Member States. We are not making criminal justice uniform in the EU. That is the whole point of mutual recognition. But it is important because pre-trial detention – excessively long periods – is, as I just said, a major issue in undermining mutual trust. You and I have a constituent, Andrew Symeou, who went through an appalling experience which should not have happened. Personally I think that UK courts should have refused extradition in this case. But anyway, I agree that the EAW must be used for the purposes of prosecution, not for fishing expeditions or for the purposes of investigation."@en1
