71As regards the obligations of the issuing State, it should be pointed out that it is for that State to ensure that the prerogative conferred on it by Framework Decision 2008/909 not to forward to the executing State the sentencing judgment imposed by one of its courts and the certificate, the specimen of which is set out in Annex I to that framework decision, is exercised in such a way as to enable effective cooperation between the competent authorities of the Member States in criminal matters, and ensures that the operation of the European arrest warrant and the mutual recognition of judgments in criminal matters for the purposes of their enforcement in another Member State are not brought to a standstill.
