73It should nevertheless be pointed out that it is for the latter Member State to ensure that the prerogative conferred on it by that framework decision not to forward to the executing Member State the sentencing judgment imposed by one of its courts and the certificate referred to in paragraph 69 of the present judgment is exercised in a manner that enables effective cooperation between the competent authorities of the Member States in criminal matters. It must thus ensure 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 (see, to that effect, judgment of 4 September 2025, C.J. (Enforcement of a sentence further to an EAW), C‑305/22, EU:C:2025:665, paragraph 71) and, consequently, that the objectives accompanying the establishment of the area of freedom, security and justice, reflected in Article 3(2) TEU, are not compromised.
