DENMARK READY TO CONSIDER EXTRADITION OF DANISH CITIZENS TO EU STATES

FECL 32 (March 1995)

In a Danish reply to questions by France and the Netherlands regarding the conditions of Danish membership of Schengen, it says that "Denmark has declared its preparedness to consider - under conditions defined in detail - an abolition of the Danish prohibition on the extradition of Danish nationals, and thus, also of its declaration regarding article 6 of the European Convention on Extraditions of 13 December 1957".

The Danish paper further states that Danish law already fails to prohibit the extradition of non-nationals residing legally in Denmark.
