An EAW in terms of Maltese law is executed by the Court of Magistrates as a Court of Criminal Inquiry, which in terms of the applicable legislation transposing the EAW FD, is known as the Court of Committal. In case of an appeal, the decision on surrender can be taken by the Court of Criminal Appeal in its inferior jurisdiction. Maltese law requires that a certificate is always issued by the Attorney General stating that the authority which issued the EAW/alert (in cases where the person is arrested on the basis of a SIS alert) has the power to do so. The person arrested on the basis of an EAW/SIS alert can only be kept in detention for 48 hours before he has to be arraigned before the Court. The grounds for mandatory/optional refusal are identical to those found in the EAW FD. The final decision on surrender must be taken within 60 days (including appeal). However, the requested person can file an application in the First Hall Civil Court (constitutional jurisdiction) if he believes his fundamental rights have been breached or will be breached. In the case of a request for an interim measure to stop surrender, this court can also accede to the request and order that surrender does not take place until a decision has been taken on the breach. Where the person is being prosecuted for other offences in Malta, The Court may postpone the surrender of the person until any of thefollowing occurs:(i) the charge is disposed of; (ii) the charge is withdrawn;(iii) proceedings in respect of the charge are discontinued;(iv) the proceedings are put off sine die: Provided that at any time after the decision to postpone, the court may grant bail to the person whose surrender has been temporarily postponed, so however that, when any of the events mentioned in sub-paragraph (i) to (iv) occurs, the court shall forthwith order the re-arrest and surrender of the person; or(b) temporarily surrender the person under conditions agreed in writing with the authority which issued the EAW which conditions shall be binding on all the authorities of the issuing scheduled country
