No fishing expeditions with European Arrest Warrant

Sarah Ludford has raised doubts about a police bid to use the European Arrest Warrant not only

to return people for prosecution but also for questioning. She believes that in the absence of much more work in Europe on raising the quality of criminal justice and making safeguards like access to legal aid and the recording of interviews universal this could be abused and lead to serious prejudice to individuals disproportionate to the interest of law enforcement.
