Dear Alexander,

Thanks for the information. More information about extradition here:
http://europa.eu.int/comm/external_relations/us/sum06_03/extra.pdf

European countries will continue to apply their ground of refusal (=they do 
not extradict their own citizen). The agreement seems to be targeted at 
American living in Europe and Europeans living in the United-States and more 
generally foreigners of both coutries. 

Anyway, thank you for the information. On the long run, why not imagine that 
the United-States may ask for the extradition of a European.

For people not aware of all laws existing in the United-States, I recommand 
keeping out the umbrella of American laws.

Best regards,
Jean-Michel
