14F When a non-participating State is a cooperating State
14F When a non-participating State is a cooperating State
(1) States that have referred text references 1 and 2 A *non-participating State is a cooperating State if—
(a) an *express amendment of section 14G or 14J (about rollback), or Division 2 of Part 4-3 (about sharing proceeds), was enacted; and
(b) before the amendment was enacted, the State was a *participating State; and
(c) after the amendment was enacted, the State ceased to be a participating State because it terminated either or both of the following—
(i) the referral of *text reference 1;
(ii) the referral of the *amendment reference; and
(d) the termination was effected by a proclamation that was made under the State’s *referral Act for the purpose of this section; and
(e) the State has not terminated its referral of *text reference 2.
Note: Under Division 2 of Part 4-3 (which is about sharing proceeds of confiscated assets under the national cooperative scheme), a non-participating State that is a cooperating State is treated in the same way as a participating State.
(2) States that have adopted the post-amended versions of this Act A *non-participating State is also a cooperating State if—
(a) an *express amendment of section 14G or 14J (about rollback), or Division 2 of Part 4-3 (about sharing proceeds), was enacted; and
(b) before the amendment was enacted, the State was a *participating State; and
(c) after the amendment was enacted, the State ceased to be a participating State because it terminated either or both of the following—
(i) the adoption of *post-amended version 1 of this Act;
(ii) the referral of the *amendment reference; and
(d) the termination was effected by a proclamation that was made under the State’s *adoption Act for the purpose of this section; and
(e) the State has not terminated its adoption of *post-amended version 2 of this Act.
(3) Despite subsections (1) and (2), a *non-participating State ceases to be, or is not, a cooperating State if a declaration under subsection (4) is in force in relation to the State.
