United Kingdom:
Reservation contained in a Note verbale handed over by the Permanent Representative of the United Kingdom to the Secretary General at the time of deposit of the instrument of ratification, on 9 December 2003 - Or. Engl.
Section 109 of the Anti-terrorism, Crime and Security Act 2001 (and section 69 of the Criminal Justice (Scotland) Act 2003) extend the normal jurisdiction of the United Kingdom courts over any offence of bribery at common law or under the Public Bodies Corrupt Practices Act 1889 or the Prevention of Corruption Act 1906 ("the 1906 Act") to cover offences by United Kingdom nationals which take place outside the United Kingdom. The United Kingdom therefore applies the jurisdictional rule laid down in Article 17, paragraph 1 (b), except that United Kingdom jurisdiction is limited to United Kingdom nationals, and accordingly does not cover public officials or members of domestic public assemblies except where they are United Kingdom nationals. The United Kingdom therefore makes a declaration under Article 17, paragraph 2, that it reserves the right to apply the jurisdictional rule laid down in paragraph 1.b only where the offender is a United Kingdom national. In addition, the United Kingdom makes a declaration under Article 17, paragraph 2 that it reserves the right not to apply the jurisdictional rule laid down in paragraph 1.c at all. Since United Kingdom law places no bar on the extradition of United Kingdom nationals, the United Kingdom does not need to change the law to meet the requirements of Article 17, paragraph 3.
The conduct referred to in Article 7 is largely covered by section 1 of the 1906 Act. The 1906 Act does not however cover the case where the undue advantage is not given directly to the agent but is given to a third party. The United Kingdom accepts this aspect of the law is in need of amendment and the draft Corruption Bill published in 2003 would make this change in respect of England, Wales and Northern Ireland. However for the present a reservation is necessary. Accordingly, in accordance with Article 37, paragraph 1, the United Kingdom reserves the right not to establish as a criminal offence all of the conduct referred to in Article 7.
The conduct referred to in Article 12 is covered by United Kingdom law in so far as an agency relationship exists between the person who trades his influence and the person he influences. However not all of the conduct referred to in Article 12 is criminal under United Kingdom law. Accordingly, in accordance with Article 37, paragraph 1, the United Kingdom reserves the right not to establish as a criminal offence all of the conduct referred to in Article 12.
[Note by the Secretariat: The Government of the United Kingdom informed the Secretary General of its intention to uphold thise reservations, wholly, for a period of 3 years:
