EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This note is not part of the Order)
Article 2 of the Crime (International Co-operation) Act 2003 (Designation of Prosecuting Authorities) Order 2004 designated certain prosecuting authorities for the purposes of section 7(5) of the Crime (International Co-operation) Act 2003. Designated prosecuting authorities can issue a request for assistance in obtaining outside the United Kingdom any evidence for use in criminal proceedings or investigations in the United Kingdom without the need to apply for judicial authority to do so under section 7(1) of that Act.
This Order amends the entry in article 2 of that Order. It replaces the references to the Commissioners of Customs and Excise and the Commissioners of Inland Revenue with a reference to the Director of Revenue and Customs Prosecutions and any member of the Revenue and Customs Prosecutions Office who is designated under section 37(1) of the Commissioners for Revenue and Customs Act 2005. These changes reflect the changes made to the relevant departments by that Act.
