doubtful. Legal systems in europe tend to be fairly seperate (just to
confuse thing further there are two diffent legal systems in the UK,
Scotish and everyone else). The European arrrest warrent is criminal
cases only and even then doesn't cover everything. After that you are
looking at extradition treaties and things get really complex.
