I move amendment No. 36:


In page 151, between lines 24 and 25, to insert the following:“Recognition of accredited forensic service providers carrying out laboratory activities in Member States
136. (1) The results of an accredited forensic service provider carrying out the laboratory activities referred to in subsection (2) in a Member State shall be recognised by the authorities in the State which are responsible for the prevention, detection and investigation of criminal offences as being as reliable as the results of an accredited
forensic service provider carrying out such laboratory activities in the State.
(2) The laboratory activities to which subsection (1) applies are those that result in the generation of—
(a) DNA profiles, or
