Criminal Justice (Illicit Traffic by Sea) Bill 2000: Second Stage.

 

I will now outline the main provisions of the Bill. The Bill provides for a convention state which is a party to the agreement, provided for in section 3, to make a request in accordance with section 7 to the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform for the surrender to that state, in respect of a drug trafficking offence, of a person who has been arrested, a vessel which has been detained or anything on the vessel which has been seized or detained while on the high seas, under procedures already provided for in section 35 of the Criminal Justice Act 1994.
