Due to a very high number of Polish nationals residing in the United Kingdom (UK), almost half of the European Arrest Warrants (“EAW”) issued in Poland over recent years have been executed in the UK. One of the advantages of the EAW is the bypassing of rules preventing the extradition of a state’s own nationals. According to Polish law, in the case of extradition under an international agreement, the possibility of extraditing Polish nationals must be included in the agreement. One of many possible repercussions of Brexit – replacement of the EAW with a “traditional” extradition procedure – may result in substantial slowing down of the extradition and making the procedure much more expensive. This risk seems to be confirmed by some recent Polish cases discussed in this brief paper.

英国脱欧与欧洲刑法的未来——波兰视角

由于居住在英国 (UK) 的波兰国民数量非常多，近年来在波兰签发的欧洲逮捕令 (“EAW”) 中，几乎有一半是在英国执行的。EAW 的优势之一是绕过阻止引渡本国国民的规则。根据波兰法律，在根据国际协议引渡的情况下，协议中必须包括引渡波兰国民的可能性。英国退欧的众多可能影响之一——用“传统”引渡程序取代 EAW——可能导致引渡进程大幅放缓，并使该程序更加昂贵。这篇简短的论文中讨论的一些最近的波兰案例似乎证实了这种风险。
