I was convicted of a crime in the Uk (possession of offensive weapon) some years back and served my custodial sentence (6months). I was released on licence for another 6months but left the UK after about a month into the licence/probation for Ghana. I am from Ghana and live in Ghana but possess a UK citizenship. I had inteneded to 'hack' the probation period but the death of my mother encouraged my planned return. So while other "foreigners" with sentence of 12month and over were deported, I was asked to remain in the UK. Now i have no family in UK, was uncomfortable living off the State (since I am comfortable in Ghana) and the whole purpose of being on licence is defeated as i av no intention of reintegrating into the UK society. After leaving the uk, i learnt a warrant was issued for my re-arrest (recall) and I av avoided the uk since. What i wish to know is this: will an european arreast warrant (EAW) have also been issued as my business does require elements of travellin into europe. thank you

An EAW can have been issued (and almost certainly will have been) if the Home Office believed that your offence (of failing to comply with your licence terms) would be a criminal offence if it was carried out in any EU country which you might visit. (If a particular country doesn't have a similar licensing system it's possible that there's no equivalent offence in that country. If so, an EAW would have no validity in that country):
