Amendment No. 16 was a Government amendment which effectively deleted section 14(2) relating to continued offences as this subsection was deemed to be unnecessary on the basis of legal advice received by my Department. On foot of amendment No. 8, the reference to Annex III of the protocol in section 3(a) of the Bill, and the whole of section 3(c), which also relates to Annex III of the protocol, was deleted on the basis of legal advice received by my Department on the grounds that Annex III is essentially an administrative annex dealing with exchange of information and would not come within the scope of the penalties inserted in section 3(2).
