b

the offence involved is one consisting in or including the contravention of other provisions of that law so far as they have effect in relation to any of those matters; or

c

b

e

such other matters in relation to which provision is made by any Community instrument as the Secretary of State may by order specify.

3

For the purposes of this section—

a

an offence against the law of a member State is a serious offence if provision is in force in that member State authorising the sentencing, in some or all cases, of a person convicted of that offence to imprisonment for a maximum term of twelve months or more; and

b

the question whether any conduct involves the commission of such an offence shall be determined according to the law in force in the member State in question at the time of the assistance or inducement.

4

In any proceedings against any person for an offence under this section it shall be a defence for that person to show—

a

that the conduct in question would not have involved the commission of an offence against the law of the member State in question but for circumstances of which he had no knowledge; and

b

that he did not suspect or anticipate the existence of those circumstances and did not have reasonable grounds for doing so.

5

For the purposes of any proceedings for an offence under this section, a certificate purporting to be issued by or on behalf of the government of another member State which contains a statement, in relation to such times as may be specified in the certificate—

a

b

that an offence against the law of that member State was a serious offence within the meaning of this section,

c

that such an offence consists in or includes the contravention of particular provisions of the law of that member State,

d

that specified provisions of the law of that member State relate to, or are capable of having an effect in relation to, particular matters,

e

that specified conduct involved the commission of a particular offence against the law of that member State, or

f

that a particular effect in that member State in relation to any matter would result from specified conduct,

shall, in the case of a statement falling within paragraphs (a) to (d), be conclusive of the matters stated and, in the other cases, be evidence, and in Scotland sufficient evidence, of the matters stated.

6

A person guilty of an offence under this section shall be liable—

a

on summary conviction, to a penalty of the statutory maximum or to imprisonment for a term not exceeding six months or to both; or

b

on conviction on indictment, to a penalty of any amount or to imprisonment for a term not exceeding seven years or to both.

7

Sections 145 to 152 and 154 of the Customs and Excise Management Act 1979 (general provisions as to legal proceedings) shall apply as if this section were contained in that Act; and an offence under this section shall be treated for all purposes as an offence for which a person is liable to be arrested under the customs and excise Acts.

8

The power of the Secretary of State to make an order under subsection (2)(e) shall be exercisable by statutory instrument; and no such order shall be made unless a draft of the order has been laid before, and approved by a resolution of, each House of Parliament.
