On June 25, 2003, the United States and the European Union signed extradition and mutual legal assistance agreements that, from what I am able to comphrehend, allow the extradition of any citizen that is a citizen of a European Union member state. The European Union's Web site says that 25 countries are currently member states, including most notably, the United Kingdom, Germany, and the Netherlands.
