(2018/C 381/09)
Language of the case: Dutch
Referring court
Rechtbank Amsterdam
Parties to the main proceedings
Applicant: Openbaar Ministerie
Defendant: TC
Question referred
In a case in which:
—
the executing Member State has transposed Article 17 of Framework Decision 2002/584/JHA (1) in such a way that the detention pending surrender of the requested person must in all cases be suspended once the 90-day period for taking a final decision on the execution of the European arrest warrant has expired and
—
the courts of that Member State have interpreted domestic law as meaning that the decision period is suspended as soon as the executing judicial authority decides to refer a question to the Court of Justice for a preliminary ruling or to await the reply to a question referred for a preliminary ruling by another executing judicial authority or to postpone the decision on surrender owing to a real danger of inhuman or degrading detention conditions in the issuing Member State,
does the maintenance of the detention pending surrender of a requested person who represents a flight risk once that detention has continued for more than 90 days after that person’s arrest contravene Article 6 of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union?
(1) Council Framework Decision of 13 June 2002 on the European arrest warrant and the surrender procedures between Member States — Statements made by certain Member States on the adoption of the Framework Decision (OJ 2002 L 190, p. 1).
