It aims to integrate the European Arrest Warrant (EAW) mechanism into the Polish legal system more effectively.<\/p>\n<h4>Expanded Rights for Residents<\/h4>\n<p>The new regulations extend protections beyond Polish citizens to include all persons residing or permanently staying in Poland. The changes eliminate risks of unequal treatment by granting non-citizens the same rights and obligations as Polish nationals when subject to an EAW.<\/p>\n<h4>Procedural Improvements and Temporary Transfer<\/h4>\n<p>A key change includes the option for the temporary transfer of an individual to another EU state for questioning, with the requirement to return to Poland. Additionally, the law streamlines the extradition process by mandating that authorities seek immediate consent from third-party countries if a person was previously extradited from there.<\/p>\n<h4>Legislative Timeline<\/h4>\n<p>The Sejm passed the amendment in mid-May, and the Senate approved it without changes on June 10.
