Criminal Justice (Mutual Recognition of Custodial Sentences) Bill 2021: Committee Stage
James Browne (Wexford, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source
I want to flag a potential amendment. This section provides for the surrender and return provisions where a person is surrendered with a condition that he or she will be returned to serve his or her sentence. As a consequence of changes introduced on foot of the Brexit trade and co-operation agreement, TCA, it will require further amendment as a relevant warrant may now include both a European arrest warrant or a surrender warrant under the TCA. Returns under European arrest warrant, EAW, will take place under the framework decision but special provision will be required for a return of persons under a TCA surrender warrant.
