Recital 60

(60) In order to ensure that there is a common understanding and minimum standards for asset tracing and identification, freezing, confiscation and management, this Directive should lay down minimum rules for the relevant measures as well as related safeguards. The adoption of minimum rules does not prevent Member States from granting more extensive powers to asset recovery offices or to asset management offices, from providing for more extensive rules on freezing and confiscation, or from providing for additional safeguards under national law, provided that such national measures and provisions do not undermine the objective of this Directive.
