Those repeals are brought into force by the Crime (International Co-operation) Act 2003 (Commencement No. 1) Order 2004 on 26th April 2004. Article 3 of this Order provides savings in respect of mutual assistance which is being given in response to process, summonses, warrants and other requests received before that date.
