Criminal Justice (Illicit Traffic by Sea) Bill 2000: Committee and Remaining Stages.

 

At some stage it could be the case that while prevention may be necessary, it could be argued that it should not be necessary forever but in these circumstances the provision in the Bill to prevent or delay communication is complementary. It is important to note that section 4 reflects the explicit provisions in the international agreement. The international phrase is "prevent or delay". Therefore, were the amendment to be moved and accepted, we would be in a position where we would not have an accurate transposition in our law of the international agreement.
