(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the Criminal Justice and Data Protection (Protocol No. 36) Regulations 2014 ("the 2014 Regulations") and provide for the implementation of Regulation (EU) 2018/1805 of 14 November 2018 on the mutual recognition of freezing orders and confiscation orders ("Regulation (EU) 2018/1805").
From 19 December 2020 the legal framework for the mutual recognition of freezing orders and confiscation orders between member states will be governed by Regulation (EU) 2018/1805. The 2014 Regulations set out the current legislative framework in Scotland for the mutual recognition of overseas freezing orders and confiscation orders and these Regulations make amendments for the necessary changes to the framework for the implementation of Regulation (EU) 2018/1805.
1972 c.68. The European Communities Act 1972 was repealed by section 1 of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 (c.16) with effect from exit day, but saved with modifications until IP completion day by section 1A of that Act (as inserted by section 1 of the European Union (Withdrawal Agreement) Act 2020 (c.1)). Section 2(2) was amended by the Scotland Act 1998 (c.46) ("the 1998 Act"), Schedule 8, paragraph 15(3) (which was amended by section 27(4) of the Legislative and Regulatory Reform Act 2006 (c.51) ("the 2006 Act")). Section 2(2) was also amended by section 27(1)(a) of the 2006 Act and by the European Union (Amendment) Act 2008 (c.7), Schedule, Part 1. The functions conferred upon the Minister of the Crown under section 2(2), insofar as within devolved competence, were transferred to the Scottish Ministers by virtue of section 53 of the 1998 Act.
