Section 5
REFUSAL AND POSTPONEMENT OF CO-OPERATION
Article 18
Grounds for refusal
1 Co-operation under this chapter may be refused if:
a the action sought would be contrary to the fundamental principles of the legal system of the requested Party; or
b the execution of the request is likely to prejudice the sovereignty, security, ordre public or other essential interests of the requested Party; or
c in the opinion of the requested Party, the importance of the case to which the request relates does not justify the taking of the action sought; or

c under the law of the requested Party confiscation may no longer be imposed or enforced because of the lapse of time; or
d the request does not relate to a previous conviction, or a decision of a judicial nature or a statement in such a decision that an offence or several offences have been committed, on the basis of which the confiscation has been ordered or is sought; or
