No, it is a different issue. We have moved on to European arrest warrants. At present, if a person is contesting a European arrest warrant, the question which arises is how does one know that France, for example, will comply with its obligations under the law. This new section will provide for the assumption that the issuing state will comply with its obligations unless it is shown otherwise. We do not want to have debates in court and requirements to produce evidence with regard to what the French authorities, for example, propose to do to comply with the law.
