Question referred

Must Article 1(3) of Council Framework Decision 2002/584/JHA on the European arrest warrant, (1) examined in the light of Articles 3, 4 and 35 of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union, be interpreted as meaning that, where it considers that the surrender of a person suffering from a serious chronic and potentially irreversible disease may expose that person to the risk of suffering serious harm to his or her health, the executing judicial authority must request that the issuing judicial authority provide information enabling the existence of such a risk to be ruled out, and must refuse to surrender the person in question if it does not obtain assurances to that effect within a reasonable period of time?
