The Liberal Democrats, who in the European Parliament were the prime movers of this measure, are its most vociferous advocates. They argue that it speeds up extradition. It seems extraordinary that anyone claiming to believe in human rights could be happy to see traditional legal safeguards abandoned in order to hurry up serious legal procedures that can have dramatic consequences for people's lives. We should revert to the extradition agreements we have with numerous non-EU countries in relation to member states.
