Frequently asked questions

Can I oppose a European Arrest Warrant?

Yes. There are grounds for refusal and assurances that can be raised, including on detention conditions and respect for fundamental rights.

What is the difference between extradition and the European Arrest Warrant?

The European Arrest Warrant operates between EU states, based on mutual recognition. Extradition applies in relations with non-EU states and follows a distinct procedure.

What happens if I have returned to Romania and find out I am wanted?

Acting before an arrest matters. See what the law provides on surrender.
