The Parliamentary Assembly fully supports
the draft third additional protocol to the European Convention on Extradition
(ETS No. 24) 
.
It is satisfied that the protocol concerns only extradition cases
in which the person concerned has given his or her valid consent,
as protected by appropriate procedural safeguards. By speeding up
uncontroversial extradition cases, the protocol makes a welcome
contribution towards reducing the length of pre-trial detention
in appropriate cases.
