The paper discusses possible approaches to interpretation of the Framework Decision on European Arrest Warrant after expiry of the transitional period under the Treaty of Lisbon, on December 1, 2014. Author addresses the tension between the integrative objective of the Framework Decision and other objectives of national criminal law, suggesting that the said Framework Decision allows discretion to national courts to decide on optional grounds for non-execution. Accordingly, national measures that restrict the possibility for the national courts to refer a preliminary reference on interpretation of the Framework Decision to the Court of Justice of the European Union weakens the useful effect of Art. 10 Para. 3 of protocol n.º 36 annexed to the Treaty of Lisbon, as well as of Art. 267 TFEU.
