The Extradition Act 2003 (Specification of Category 1 Territories) Order 2009
Extradition between Member States of the European Union is governed by the Council Framework Decision of 13th June 2002 on the European arrest warrant and the surrender procedures between Member States (‘the European Arrest Warrant Framework Decision’). Under the European Arrest Warrant Framework Decision, requests for extradition are made and executed by judicial authorities; this contrasts with the system governing all other extradition requests made and received by the UK in which the final decision as to whether to make, or accede to, a request for extradition is for the Secretary of State.
