This legal document, signed by Philippe JAEGLE of the French Office of International Criminal Mutual Legal Assistance, outlines France's policy on the extradition of its nationals. It states that based on a 1996 bilateral treaty, France systematically refuses to extradite French citizens to the United States, a principle that applies to all non-EU countries. However, an exception exists within the European Union, where the European Arrest Warrant mandates extradition between member states, overriding the principle of non-extradition of nationals.
