|
|
| |
(e) the circumstances in which the offence was committed or is alleged to have been committed, including the time and place of its commission or alleged commission, and the degree of involvement or alleged degree of involvement of the person in the commission of the offence, and

(2) Where it is not practicable for the European arrest warrant to be in the form referred to in subsection (1), it shall include such information, additional to the information specified in subsection (1), as would be required to be provided were it in that form.
|
|
| |
(3) Where a European arrest warrant is issued in the issuing state in respect of a person who has not been convicted of the offence specified therein, the European arrest warrant shall be accompanied by a statement in writing of the issuing judicial authority that—

|
| |
(a) the person has been charged with, and a decision to try him or her for, the offence concerned has been made, or
|
|
| |

|
| |
by a person who in the issuing state, or part thereof, performs functions the same as, or similar to, those performed in the State by the Director of Public Prosecutions.
|
|
