Criminal Justice (Joint Investigation Teams) Bill 2003: Committee Stage.
2:30 pm
Joanna Tuffy (Labour)
The Minister of State should reconsider this aspect. If a member state not involved in establishing a team joined one, its members would be outside the definition. As worded, the subsection clearly envisages that a team may comprise members from other member states. If that was not meant, why would a member of a team be seconded in the first instance? As worded, the provision could exclude those not involved in the establishing of a team but may join at a later stage.
