Judgment_paragraph 55 · KT v Sofiyska gradska prokuratura (C-71/21)

55Under those circumstances, while the existence of a decision by the executing authority of a Member State to refuse the execution of an arrest warrant issued by the Republic of Iceland or the Kingdom of Norway on the basis of Article 1(3) of the Agreement on the surrender procedure must, admittedly, encourage vigilance from the executing authority of another Member State to which a new arrest warrant issued by that State against the same person for the same acts has been addressed, that circumstance is not liable to exempt the executing authority of the latter Member State from its obligation to examine the request for surrender and to take a decision on the execution of the arrest warrant.
