points mentioned in Article 10(2)? Is legal aid available? Article 10(4)-(6)    46 Is there a right to a lawyer in your Member State when it is the issuing Member State? Is this a distinct right vis a vis the right of access to a lawyer in the substantive criminal proceedings which underlie the EAW? Can the right of access to a lawyer in the substantive criminal proceedings be invoked by the suspect or accused person prior to their surrender?    - The Directive also creates an obligation upon the issuing Member State to provide access to a lawyer there. The role of the lawyer in the issuing Member State is to assist the lawyer in the executing Member State by providing information and advice to enable the exercise of the rights of the defence there. This function is crucial in the defence of EAWs. Your comments here 46
