(a) convictions handed down in the United Kingdom and entered in the UK criminal record;
(b) any convictions handed down in other member States—
(i) which were transmitted to the UK Central Authority after 27th April 2012, in application of Article 4 of the Framework Decision, and stored in accordance with regulation 65; and
(ii) in respect of which, the central authority of the member State which transmitted the information has not stated that such information may not be retransmitted for any purposes other than that of criminal proceedings;
(c) any convictions handed down in other member States which were transmitted to the UK Central Authority by 27th April 2012 and entered in the UK criminal record;
(d) any conviction handed down in a country which is not a member State and subsequently transmitted to the UK Central Authority and entered in the UK criminal record.
(3) For the purposes of paragraph (2), “conviction” means a conviction within the meaning of the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 which is not spent within the meaning of that Act.
(4) Where information under paragraph (2)(b) has not been transmitted because the central authority of the member State which transmitted the information has stated that such information may not be retransmitted for any purposes other than that of criminal proceedings, the UK Central Authority must, in respect of such convictions, inform the requesting member State which other member State had transmitted such information so as to enable the requesting member State to submit a request directly to the convicting member State in order to receive information on these convictions.
