What is the European Arrest Warrant and how is it different from standard extradition?

The EAW is a fast-track mechanism between EU member states. It can result in surrender in 60–90 days and does not require dual criminality for listed offences. EAW proceedings are considerably harder to challenge than standard extradition and require specialist intervention at the earliest stage.
