  "long_title": "Part 1 of the Crime (International Co-operation) Act 2003 (“the 2003 Act”) provides statutory powers pursuant to which the United Kingdom can both seek and provide various forms of mutual legal assistance concerning criminal matters. Some of those statutory powers can, however, only be exercised where the country in question is a “participating country” as defined in section 51(2) of the 2003 Act. Where a country was a Member State of the European Union on the date on which a provision in Part 1 of the 2003 Act is commenced, that country will, by virtue of 51(2)(a), fall to be regarded as a participating country for the purpose of the commenced provision. Where, however, a country was not a Member State on the date on which a provision is commenced, that country must be designated as a participating country, for the purposes of that commenced provision, by an order made under section 51(2)(b).",
