There have been reasonable doubts that in both cases, the persons sought may be subjected to conditions of detention in breach of Article 3 of the ECHR. The Court ruled that the Framework Decision on the European arrest warrant should be interpreted that where there is objective, reliable, specific and properly updated evidence with respect to detention conditions in the issuing Member State that demonstrates that there are deficiencies which may be systemic or generalized, or which may affect certain groups of people, or which may affect certain places of detention, the executing judicial authority must determine, specifically and precisely, whether there are substantial grounds to believe that the individual concerned by a European arrest warrant will be subjected to inhuman and degrading treatment. In such cases member states must postpone or even decline surrender if they are not satisfied that the conditions of detention do not present such a risk.26 The situation and the needs of detainees in a situation of vulnerability are addressed also in the framework of the Roadmap for strengthening the procedural rights of suspected and accused persons in criminal proceedings (Roadmap), adopted by Council resolution on 30 November 2009.
