Introduction
1.These explanatory notes relate to the Crime (International Co-operation) Act 2003 which received Royal Assent on 30 October 2003. They have been prepared by the Home Office and the Department for Transport in order to assist the reader in understanding the Act. They do not form part of the Act and have not been endorsed by Parliament.
2.These notes need to be read in conjunction with the Act. They are not, and are not meant to be, a comprehensive description of the Act. So where a section does not seem to require any explanation or comment, none is given.
