"In July 2001, the Council authorised the Council Presidency, assisted by the European Commission, to start negotiating agreements on mutual legal assistance and the surrender procedure with Norway and Iceland. The mission statement was updated in 2002 after it was agreed that extradition within the EU would be replaced by a surrender procedure under the European arrest warrant. Despite the decision not to link the European arrest warrant to Schengen, the Council agreed that it would be useful to apply the surrender procedure model to the Schengen countries, given their privileged partnership with the EU Member States. The Council may adopt a decision concluding the agreement only after obtaining the consent of the European Parliament. This agreement is aimed at improving the surrender procedure between the Member States and Norway and Iceland for the purpose of the prosecution or execution of sentence. In accordance with the provisions of the agreement, the contracting parties will ensure that the extradition system will be based on a mechanism of surrender pursuant to the European arrest warrant. Insofar as this agreement merely extends to Norway and Iceland – at the request of these two countries – provisions that are already in place among EU Member States, there is, in my opinion, no reason for concern. It is, however, necessary and essential to go further in the area of procedural rights, in order to provide citizens with a robust array of rights to go together with the use of the European arrest warrant, thus providing guarantees of civil liberties and public trust in this instrument."@en1
