This Order, which extends only to Scotland, makes further provision for the implementation of the Council Framework Decision 2005/214/JHA of 24 February 2005 on the application of the principle of mutual recognition to financial penalties (OJ L 76, 22.03.2005, p.16-30) (“the Framework Decision”). The Order amends the existing implementing provisions in sections 223A to 223T of, and Schedules 11 and 12 to, the Criminal Procedure (Scotland) Act 1995 as inserted by the Mutual Recognition of Criminal Financial Penalties in the European Union (Scotland) Order 2009 (S.S.I. 2009/342). The amendments are made in order to reflect more explicitly the terms of the Framework Decision.
