Agreement between the European Union and the United States of America concerning extradition.
CONTENT: The Agreement seeks to enhance cooperation between the Union’s Member States and the US with the purpose of combating crime more effectively and thus to give their respective democratic societies and their common values greater protection.
This Agreement seeks to facilitate the extradition of individuals by specifying the type of offences for which extradition is to be carried out and laying down the technical conditions relating to extradition.
Among other things, the Agreement specifies:
- In case of sensitive information, the draft agreements allow to ask for consultations to determine the extent to which information, in a request, can be protected by the requested State.
- As far as competing requests are concerned, the agreements deal with the issue of a concurrence between an extradition request from the USA and one from another State, or when this other State is a Member State, a European Arrest Warrant.
The question of how to deal with concurrent requests for surrender from the International Criminal Court and extradition requests from the United States of America is therefore one which falls squarely within the exclusive competence of the Member States.
The Agreement, furthermore, contains a provision prohibiting any extradition to a country where the offence in question may be punished by the death penalty
Agreement between the European Union and the United States of America in the area of mutual legal assistance.
CONTENT: The Agreement seeks to enhance cooperation between the Union’s Member States and the US with the purpose of combating crime more effectively and thus to give their respective democratic societies and their common values greater protection.
The agreement improves co-operation in the area of investigations into financial elements of serious crime, including organised crime, terrorism and financial crime.
Those Member States that at present do not have a mutual legal assistance treaty with the USA, may refer to their public law and order (security, sovereignty, or other essential interests of the requested State) in order to refuse to communicate information in certain cases.
The agreement contains extensive provisions in relation to data protection and the provision of evidence and information.
The draft Agreement contains provisions enabling the use of joint investigative teams and the possibilities of videoconferencing between Member States and the United States. These provisions enable the Member States to use these possibilities, but do not oblige to use them.
PURPOSE: the conclusion of an agreement with the United States to strengthen judicial cooperation in mutual legal assistance and extradition.
LEGISLATIVE ACT: Council Decision 2003/516/EC concerning the signature of the Agreements between the European Union and the United States of America on extradition and mutual legal assistance in criminal matters.
CONTENT: In this Decision, the Council approves two agreements that aim to strengthen cooperation with the United States in the areas of mutual legal assistance and extradition.
The purpose of this cooperation is to be able to fight more effectively against transnational crime and terrorism in particular.
For details of the content of these agreements, please refer to the summaries of the two implementing acts of 25 June 2003.
