44That interpretation is also supported by the wording of section (b) of the form contained in the Annex to the Framework Decision, in particular by the words ‘Decision on which the warrant is based’, a formula to which the first subparagraph of Article 8(1) of that decision expressly refers and which must therefore be taken into account for the purpose of interpreting Article 8(1)(c) as those words confirm that the European arrest warrant must be based on a judicial decision, thus implying that what is meant is a judicial decision that is separate from the decision issuing the European arrest warrant.
