40Framework Decision 2002/584 thus explicitly sets out the grounds for mandatory non-execution (Article 3) and optional non-execution (Articles 4 and 4a) of a European arrest warrant, as well as the guarantees to be given by the issuing Member State in particular cases (Article 5). Although the system established by Framework Decision 2002/584 is based on the principle of mutual recognition, that recognition does not mean that there is an absolute obligation to execute the arrest warrant that has been issued (see, to that effect, judgments of 21 October 2010, B., C‑306/09, EU:C:2010:626, paragraph 50, and of 13 December 2018, Sut, C‑514/17, EU:C:2018:1016, paragraphs 29 and 30 and the case-law cited).
