A reminder of the respective positions of the UK and the EU in their negotiations that the UK Government considered a 'UK WIN'

'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.
