Summary/Abstract: The European Arrest Warrant (hereinafter ENA) is the result of the development of legislation and practice in the field of cooperation in criminal matters as well as freedom, justice and security of the European Union. The development of integration between countries also concerns the sphere of justice. In connection with the cooperation of various bodies and institutions of European countries, certain systems are being developed to facilitate the application of law across borders. One such system is the European Arrest Warrant. It is undoubtedly the result of the introduction of simplified cross-border judicial proceedings. Its regulations include the transfer of suspects and accused persons for the purposes of prosecution of crimes or execution of a prison sentence or application of a precautionary measure consisting in the deprivation of liberty. The first part of the article will present the EAW procedure, together with its key elements determining the effectiveness of this instrument. The second part of the work presents an analysis of the effectiveness of the EAW based on available Statistical information and analysis of available literature.
