The Home Office does not hold the specific information requested.

Statistics on the European Arrest Warrant (EAW) are published by the National Crime Agency each year. These figures include a breakdown of the numbers of individuals extradited from the UK by country.

These figures are published at: http://www.nationalcrimeagency.gov.uk/publications/european-arrest-warrant-statistics

Prior to 2004, when the EAW was introduced, fewer than 60 individuals a year were extradited from the UK (this figure includes all countries, not just EU Member States).
