MS AUDREY EU (in Chinese): Madam President, of the seven subvented schools for physically handicapped children in Hong Kong, two have hostels for students who need residential places. In this connection, will the Government inform this Council: (a) of the number of children currently waiting for admission to the two schools and their hostels, as well as the average time such children have so far been waiting; and (b) whether it has plans to provide hostels in the other five schools or redeploy the existing hostel resources; if so, of the details of the plans? 2788 LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL ─ 4 February 2004 SECRETARY FOR EDUCATION AND MANPOWER (in Chinese): Madam President, (a) Boarding facilities in special schools for children with physical disability are to cater for those students with long-term boarding needs. The provision is on a territory-wide basis. According to our information as at 15 January 2004, five students attending other schools have applied for schooling and boarding services in the two schools with hostels in the 2003-04 school year. Arrangements have been made and individual students, for personal reasons such as health or completion of a school term, would be transferred either in the second school term or at the beginning of the coming school year. Such arrangements have been agreed with the parents concerned. (b) In this school year, the two schools are providing 160 boarding places of which 11 are still vacant. According to past figures and the projected demand, the existing provision of boarding places in schools for children with physical disability should be sufficient to meet the demand. Hence, the Education and Manpower Bureau (the Bureau) has no plan to provide boarding places in the other five special schools for children with physical disability. Nonetheless, the Bureau will constantly review the demand and supply of boarding places in these schools. Should needs arise, the Bureau may explore the possibility of redeployment of resources for provision of appropriate services to cater for those students with long-term boarding needs. Factory Inspections 2. MISS CHAN YUEN-HAN (in Chinese): Madam President, will the Government inform this Council: (a) in respect of the past three financial years, of: (i) the number of cases of non-compliance with the Hong Kong origin rules detected by the government departments concerned through inspections or reports from the public, the amount of money and the quantities of goods involved; LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL ─ 4 February 2004 2789 (ii) the number of cases in which prosecution was successfully instituted for non-compliance with the Hong Kong origin rules, the amount of fines and the terms of imprisonment involved; and (iii) the number of officers of the authorities responsible for carrying out inspections of factories and checking of cargoes consigned; whether they carry out surprise raids; if so, the number of such raids; (b) of the items checked by the authorities during factory inspections to enforce the Hong Kong origin rules, and whether they include records of wages (records of bank transfers), provident fund contributions and information about subcontractors rendering help to the factories concerned in the manufacture of goods, such as their full addresses, contact arrangements with the persons in charge and the number of employees and their wages; if not, whether the authorities will consider checking these records; and (c) of the number of applications for the Certificate of Origin under the Mainland/Hong Kong Closer Economic Partnership Arrangement received by the authorities so far and, among them, the number of applications already approved? SECRETARY FOR COMMERCE, INDUSTRY AND TECHNOLOGY (in Chinese): Madam President, my reply to the various parts of the Honourable CHAN Yuen-han's question is as follows: (a) Since financial year 2001-02, (i) the number of cases of non-compliance with the Hong Kong origin rules detected by the Customs and Excise Department (C&ED) through its inspections and reports from the public, and the value and quantities of goods involved in these cases are as follows: 2790 LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL ─ 4 February 2004 Number of substantiated cases of non- Value of goods Quantities of Financial year compliance with involved goods involved the Hong Kong origin rules 2001-02 151 $22,958,160 1 099 267 garment pieces and 13 028 kg of knitted items 2002-03 70 $7,857,739 315 028 garment pieces 2003-04 35 $6,216,973 242 972 garment (as at 31 December pieces 2003) (ii) the number of successful prosecutions by the C&ED against non-compliance with the Hong Kong origin rules and the amount of fines involved are as follows: Number of successful Financial year Total amount of fines prosecutions1 2001-02 115 $2,916,450 2002-03 50 $1,401,000 2003-04 26 $1,188,500 (as at 31 December 2003) 1 Number of successful prosecutions for a particular year may include those that were initiated in the year before.

  • The RTHK Coverage of the 2004 Legislative Council Election Compared with the Commercial Broadcaster
    Mainstream or Alternative? The RTHK Coverage of the 2004 Legislative Council Election Compared with the Commercial Broadcaster so Ming Hang A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Philosophy in Government and Public Administration © The Chinese University of Hong Kong June 2005 The Chinese University of Hong Kong holds the copyright of this thesis. Any person(s) intending to use a part or whole of the materials in the thesis in a proposed publication must seek copyright release from the Dean of the Graduate School. 卜二,A館書圆^^ m 18 1 KK j|| Abstract Theoretically, public broadcaster and commercial broadcaster are set up and run by two different mechanisms. Commercial broadcaster, as a proprietary organization, is believed to emphasize on maximizing the profit while the public broadcaster, without commercial considerations, is usually expected to achieve some objectives or goals instead of making profits. Therefore, the contribution by public broadcaster to the society is usually expected to be different from those by commercial broadcaster. However, the public broadcasters are in crisis around the world because of their unclear role in actual practice. Many politicians claim that they cannot find any difference between the public broadcasters and the commercial broadcasters and thus they asserted to cut the budget of public broadcasters or even privatize all public broadcasters. Having this unstable situation of the public broadcasting, the role or performance of the public broadcasters in actual practice has drawn much attention from both policy-makers and scholars. Empirical studies are divergent on whether there is difference between public and commercial broadcaster in actual practice.

  • LC Paper No. CB(1)1017/17-18(03)
    LC Paper No. CB(1)1017/17-18(03) 25th May 2018 Legislative Council Complex 1 Legislative Council Road Central, Hong Kong Dear Members of Legislative Council, Public Hearing on May 28th 2018: Review of relevant provisions under Cap. 586 We write to express our continued support for the Hong Kong Government's commitment to protecting and conserving wildlife, under the Protection of Endangered Species Ordinance (Cap. 586). We are grateful for the government’s recent amendments to Cap. 586, implementing the three-step plan to ban the Hong Kong ivory trade and the increase in maximum penalties under Cap 586. However, there remain challenges for the regulation of wildlife trade in Hong Kong and in tackling wildlife crime, which we suggest addressing through legalisation. The challenges, as we see them, include: The vast scale of the legal trade in shark fins: - In 2017, Hong Kong imported approximately 5,000 metric tonnes (MT) of shark fins1. - Under the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES), species traded for the seafood and TCM industries, including shark fins, sea cucumber and seahorses, dominated wildlife imports by volume between 2007 to 2016 (87%). - This is all the more concerning, as a recent paper2 revealed that nearly one-third of the species currently identified within the trade in Hong Kong are considered ‘Threatened’ by the IUCN. An illegal trade in shark fins also thrives in Hong Kong: - Out of the 12 endangered shark species internationally protected under CITES regulations, five are known to have been seized as they were trafficked to Hong Kong over the last five years.
