NATIONAL LEGAL FRAMEWORK CONCERNING THE APPLICATION OF CROSS-BORDER INSTRUMENTS TO PERSONS WITH INTELLECTUAL AND/OR PSYCHOSOCIAL DISABILITIES IN LAW AND PRACTICE 21 The consent of the person is also important in the execution of EAW. Article 13 of the Framework Decision provides that each Member State shall adopt the measures necessary to ensure that consent and, where appropriate, renunciation, as referred to in paragraph 1, are established in such a way as to show that the person concerned has expressed them voluntarily and in full awareness of the consequences. To that end, the requested person shall have the right to legal counsel. Consent may be of two types: consent to extradition for the offences covered by the EAW and consent to prosecution for other offences. „A person can agree to be extradited on the basis of EAW, which simply speeds up and simplifies the procedure, let's say, because if the person accepts, then, of course, there is a reduction in the length of time that they spend in custody in the other country before they are extradited. Sometimes a person may, either in advance, at the request of the issuing State, or after surrender, agree to be prosecuted not only for the offences for which the EAW was issued, but also for offences other than those for which the warrant was issued, such as offences committed previously.“18 18 Quote from one of the semi-structured interviews.
