47In the first place, it should be borne in mind in this regard that, as noted in paragraph 38 above, Framework Decision 2002/584 seeks to establish a new simplified and more effective system for the surrender of persons convicted or suspected of having infringed criminal law. In accordance with Article 1(1) of that framework decision, the aim of the mechanism of the European arrest warrant is to enable the arrest and surrender of a requested person, in the light of the objective pursued by the framework decision, so that the crime committed does not go unpunished and that that person is prosecuted or serves the custodial sentence ordered against him (judgment of 6 December 2018, IK (Enforcement of an additional sentence), C‑551/18 PPU, EU:C:2018:991, paragraph 39).
