I move amendment No. 5:

In page 7, line 15, after “Union,” to insert “and”.

These amendments were noted during Committee Stage discussions and modify the definition of member state to exclude the non-EU Schengen states. This amendment has been made following consultation with the European Commission on the currently applicable scope of the framework decision. Amendments Nos. 71 and 72 provide for consequential amendments to section 58 of the Bill which allows the Minister to designate a non-member state for the purposes of the Act where the state has adopted the framework decision or an Act amending or building upon it.
