'Leaked' document says future UK/EU27 #extradition arrangements is a 'UK WIN'. Arrangements said to be based on Norway & Iceland model which was agreed in principle in 2006 but took another 13 years to come into force. May not therefore be in force for some time...... 
However, the government could take comfort from the fact that we are currently (for another week) part of the EAW system and have been since its inception. Negotiations may therefore not be as protracted as the governments of Norway and Iceland experienced.
BUT...Art 37 of the Norway/Iceland agreement requires them to ‘keep under review’ the development of the case law of the CJEU. No mention of CJEU here. Submission to CJEUs jurisdiction considered by Gov to be a political ‘red line’ that would not form part of Brexit settlement.
Still the possibility of a declaration being made by an EU Member State to the effect that nationals will not be surrendered or that surrender will be authorised only under certain specified conditions for own nationals. Relevant to extradition requests sent by the UK to EU.
Not quite the ‘UK WIN’ it’s being portrayed as.
