Abstract
The chapter deals with the genesis of the European arrest warrant. It is divided into seven sections and is summarised with concluding observations. Section 2.1 presents general knowledge on the European integration and its ‘spill over’ into the area of Criminal law. Following general knowledge, Sect. 2.2 specialises on Europeanisation of Criminal law as an area for the development of the European arrest warrant, namely two issues—Third Pillar of the European Union and an Area of freedom, security and justice. Section 2.3 analyses the Corpus Juris project as the first ‘unsuccessful’ concept introducing the European arrest warrant. On the contrary, Sect. 2.4 briefly introduces the mechanism of mutual recognition of judicial decisions as a ‘new wave’ towards the European arrest warrant. While Sect. 2.5 is focused on Tampere European Council conclusions of 1999 and a decision to replace extradition procedure in the European Union, Sect. 2.6 points out at impact of the 9/11 plane attacks in the United States of America on the enactment of the European arrest warrant. Consequently, Sect. 2.7 analyses negotiating and adopting the legislation on the European arrest warrant.

Judgment of the Court of Justice of the European Communities of 20th February 1979—Case C-120/78—Cassis de Dijon (Rewe-Zentral AG v Bundesmonopolverwaltung für Branntwein). In line with this decision, a product lawfully produced and marketed in one EU Member State must be accepted in the other even if it does not match its technical or other specifications. However, this principle is not absolute as Member States are allowed to exclude such a product from their national market on the grounds of derogations. The principle of mutual recognition has gradually been applied to aspects of the internal market other than the free movement of goods, namely the free movement of services and the recognition of the qualifications of EU citizens.
