Projet de loi modifiant la loi du 19 décembre 2003 relative au mandat d'arrêt européen.
This is a Belgian government bill (projet de loi) that would amend the law of 19 December 2003 on the European arrest warrant. The 2003 law implements the EU framework decision that allows judicial authorities in one EU member state to request the surrender of a person from another member state for prosecution or to serve a sentence. The bill proposes changes to how Belgium applies that system. The metadata does not state the specific amendments, so the exact content is unclear from this summary alone. The changes would primarily affect individuals subject to a European arrest warrant in Belgium, as well as Belgian judicial authorities who issue or execute such warrants. Legal practitioners and cross-border law enforcement would also be affected. Confirm specific impacts by reviewing the full bill text in the Belgian Chamber of Representatives.
