Recital (27)

Criminal investigations and judicial proceedings in Member States should not be affected by the application of this Regulation. Consequently, Council Decision 2008/976/JHA, Council Framework Decision 2005/214/JHA and Directive 2014/41/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council should have precedence over this Regulation to the extent that the unfair trading practice concerned falls under the scope of those legal acts.
