VIEW FULL CASE
  • CJEU Case C-551/18 PPU / Judgment

    Key facts of the case:

    Reference for a preliminary ruling — Urgent preliminary ruling procedure — Police and judicial cooperation in criminal matters — Framework Decision 2002/584/JHA — European arrest warrant and the surrender procedures between Member States — European arrest warrant issued for the purposes of enforcing a custodial sentence — Substance and form — Article 8(1)(f) — Failure to refer to an additional sentence — Validity — Consequences — Effect on detention.

    Outcome of the case:

    On those grounds, the Court (First Chamber) hereby rules:

    Article 8(1)(f) of Council Framework Decision 2002/584/JHA of 13 June 2002 on the European arrest warrant and the surrender procedures between Member States, as amended by Council Framework Decision 2009/299/JHA of 26 February 2009, must be interpreted as meaning that failure to indicate, in the European arrest warrant pursuant to which the person concerned has been surrendered, an additional sentence of conditional release which was imposed on that person for the same offence in the same judicial decision as that relating to the main custodial sentence does not, on the facts of the case in the main proceedings, preclude the enforcement of that additional sentence, on the expiry of the main sentence after an express decision to that effect is taken by the national court with jurisdiction for the enforcement of sentences, from resulting in deprivation of liberty.

  • Paragraphs referring to EU Charter

    67 Thus, the decision of the executing judicial authority is without prejudice to the person in question’s opportunity, after surrender, to have recourse, within the legal system of the issuing Member State, to legal remedies that may enable him to challenge, where appropriate, the lawfulness of his detention in a prison of that Member State, inter alia, as is clear from the case in the main proceedings, on the basis of the European arrest warrant pursuant to which his surrender was granted. That person may, at that time, rely, inter alia, on respect for the rights to an effective remedy, to a fair trial and of the defence which he derives from Article 47 and Article 48(2) of the Charter (see, to that effect, judgment of 19 September 2018, RO, C‑327/18 PPU, EU:C:2018:733, paragraph 50).
