Judgment_paragraph 144 · Criminal proceedings against Lluís Puig Gordi and Others (C-158/21)

144Secondly, since, as stated in paragraph 54 of the present judgment, the issuing of a European arrest warrant may result in the arrest of the person for whom it has been issued and, therefore, may prejudice that person’s individual freedom, it is for the judicial authority that is considering issuing a European arrest warrant to examine whether, in the light of the particular circumstances of the case, it is proportionate to issue that warrant (see, to that effect, judgments of 27 May 2019, PF (Prosecutor General of Lithuania), C‑509/18, EU:C:2019:457, paragraph 49, and of 13 January 2021, MM, C‑414/20 PPU, EU:C:2021:4, paragraph 64).
