The aim of the article is to present the key theses of the Federal Constitutional Court ruling of 30 June, 2009, concerning the appropriate implementation of the provisions of the Treaty of Lisbon in the legal environment of the Federal Republic of Germany. The ruling was widely discussed due to the importance of the issue as well as a judgment itself, not solely from the point of view of the German doctrine. The ruling under discussion presents an idea that the process of European integration is 'limited' as the evolution of the European Union finds some limitations within both the Treaty of Lisbon and the Fundamental Statute of the Federal Republic of Germany. The German Constitution determined some impassable borders of integration by an obligation to protect a 'constitutional identity' (elements constituting the German state such as the notion of the state of law, protection of fundamental rights, democracy and a federal structure of the state). This way a canon of appropriate integration with respect for the fundamental 'constitutional identity' of the German Republic, i.e. respecting the provisions of the state legislature, its role in the process of integration, and organization of the process of co-operation between the legislative and executive powers on the European ground. At the same time, the Federal Tribunal sustained its former ruling policy and was for the primacy of the Fundamental Statute over any other legal acts, including those issued by the organs of the European Union. It also seems that some of the theses of the ruling remain valid per analogiam to the legislations of other Member States.

The European arrest warrant, based on the surrender procedure, replaced traditional extradition procedure between Member States of the European Union. First time we met the European arrest warrant is unsuccessful project Corpus Juris, but the establishment of the area of freedom, security and justice, the conclusions of the European Council meeting in Tampere and the establishment of the mutual recognition of judicial decisions in criminal matters, led to the adoption of the Council framework decision 2002/584/JHA of 13 June 2002 on the European arrest warrant and the surrender procedures between Member States. The European arrest warrant is the first concrete measure in the field of EU Criminal Law implementing the principle of mutual recognition which the European Council referred to as the cornerstone of judicial co-operation in the EU. The European arrest warrant has been implemented into the legal order of the Slovak Republic twice – firstly in 2004 and secondly in 2010. Former implementation was performed by the Act of the National Council of the Slovak Republic of 24 June 2004 No. 403/2004 Coll. on the European arrest warrant. In 2010 the Slovak Republic adopted new legislation for purposes of the EAW – Act of the National Council of the Slovak Republic of 9 March 2010 No. 154/2010 Coll. on the European arrest warrant.
