| CJEU: Execution of a European Arrest Warrant must be deferred if there is risk of inhuman or degrading treatment. If the existence of that risk cannot be discounted within a reasonable period, the authority responsible for the execution of the warrant must decide whether the surrender procedure should be brought to an end. In these 2 cases it was held that Romania & Hungary had infringed fundamental rights due to the prison overcrowding which is characteristic of their prisons. |
