(This note is not part of the Order)
Italy was designated as a category 2 territory, for the purposes of the Extradition Act 2003, by the Extradition Act 2003 (Designation of Part 2 Territories) Order 2003. This Order removes that designation and re-designates Italy as a category 1 territory by adding them to the list of category 1 territories designated in the Extradition Act 2003 (Designation of Part 1 Territories) Order 2003.
The effect of this is that once this Order is in force Italy will be a category 1 territory for the purposes of the Extradition Act 2003 and Part 1 of that Act will apply to Italy.
Article 1(2) of this Order is a transitional provision, which ensures that the change in designation does not apply where extradition proceedings have already begun.
