The UK has an extradition arrangement with the European Union via the UK EU Trade and Cooperation Agreement. This provides for streamlined cooperation and safeguards for extradition requests between the UK and EU Member States.

This does not replace the EU’s Dublin Regulation, which the UK is no longer bound by.
