Report No. 57) Report No. 12/11-12 of the House Committee on Consideration of Subsidiary Legislation and Other Instruments ADDRESSES PRESIDENT (in Cantonese): Addresses. Dr Philip WONG will address the Council on the Report of the Public Accounts Committee No. 57. LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL ─ 15 February 2012 5675 Report of the Public Accounts Committee on the Reports of the Director of Audit on the Accounts of the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region for the year ended 31 March 2011 and the Results of Value for Money Audits (Report No. 57) (February 2012 ─ P.A.C. Report No. 57) DR PHILIP WONG (in Cantonese): President, on behalf of the Public Accounts Committee (PAC), I table our Report No. 57. This Report corresponds with the Report of the Director of Audit on the Accounts of the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region for the year ended 31 March 2011 and his Report No. 57 on the results of value for money audits (Audit Report). The PAC's Report contains three main parts: (a) the PAC's assessment of the actions taken by the Administration in response to our recommendations made in the PAC's previous Reports Nos. 54 and 55; (b) our observations on the Report of the Director of Audit on the Accounts of the Government for the year ended 31 March 2011; and (c) the conclusions reached by the PAC on the Audit Report. On the Audit Report, the PAC has, as in the past, selected for detailed examination only those chapters in the Audit Report which, in our view, contained more serious allegations of irregularities or shortcomings. The Report tabled today covers our deliberations on the three chapters selected. I now succinctly report the conclusions and recommendations made by the PAC. Regarding the chapter on "Food labelling and nutrition labelling of infant and special dietary foods", the PAC considers that the Administration has failed to effectively discharge its role as the food safety authority in overseeing and regulating the nutritional composition and labelling of infant and special dietary foods marketed in Hong Kong, and hence public health has not been adequately safeguarded. The PAC expresses deep regret in this regard and finds it unacceptable. 5676 LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL ─ 15 February 2012 The PAC notes that although the Administration undertook in as early as 2005 to review the need for introducing nutrition labelling requirements covering infant and special dietary foods, up until today, after a lapse of six years, no such review has been conducted by the Administration. Despite the fact that many countries have already developed comprehensive ordinances or regulations governing the nutritional composition and labelling of infant and follow-up formulae to be marketed in their countries, Hong Kong has not yet developed such ordinances or regulations. Moreover, since the International Code of Marketing of Breast-milk Substitutes was issued by the World Health Organisation (the WHO Code) some 30 years ago, many countries have already developed their advertising and marketing guidelines applicable to their own countries for compliance by the trade. Nevertheless, no measures have been taken in Hong Kong to require compliance with the WHO Code. Against the above background, the PAC considers that the Secretary for Food and Health has been inordinately slow in considering the introduction of appropriate ordinances or regulations to govern nutritional composition and labelling of infant and special dietary foods marketed in Hong Kong, and that Hong Kong is lagging behind many countries in regulating the various aspects of infant and follow-up formulae. The Audit Report has also revealed that there are cases of blatant breaches of the standards of the Codex Alimentarius Commission and the WHO Code. However, since it is not a legal requirement in Hong Kong to comply with those standards and the WHO Code, no action or prosecution against such breaches has been taken or instituted by the Administration. Besides, the PAC finds that the Centre for Food Safety (CFS) and the Food and Environmental Hygiene Department (FEHD) have not given the appropriate priority to protecting the health of infants and people with special dietary needs. Although the practice of promoting foods for infants through making nutrition, health and other claims is prevalent in Hong Kong and even the Director of Health has admitted that the growing trend of making misleading or exaggerated claims in promoting formulae for young children is a cause for concern, the CFS has not taken proactive actions to verify the validity of such claims, or to stop food traders from making such claims. Also, the CFS and the LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL ─ 15 February 2012 5677 FEHD have not always properly followed through the complaints and enquiries they received.

  • Monthly Report HK
    January 2011 in Hong Kong 31.1.2011 / No 85 A condensed press review prepared by the Consulate General of Switzerland in HK Economy + Finance HK still ranked world's freest economy: HK remains the world’s freest economy for the 17th straight year and ranked 1st out of 41 countries – according to a report released by the Heritage Foundation and the Wall Street Journal. The city’s score remains unchanged from last year at 89.7 out of 100 in the 2011 Index of Economic Freedom, with small declines in the score for government spending and labour freedom offsetting improvements in fiscal freedom, monetary freedom, and freedom from corruption. The report said HK is one of the world’s most competitive financial and business centres, demonstrating a high degree of resilience during the global financial crisis. City casts off shadow of global financial crisis: HK's economy is rebounding from the aftermath of the global financial crisis, with the public coffers enjoying the first eight-month surplus in three years. The latest announcement showed a far better financial picture than the government had forecast. In his budget speech in February, Financial Secretary John Tsang projected a net deficit of HK$25.2 billion for the current financial year. However, consensus estimates among most accounting firms now put the full financial year budget at a surplus of at least HK$60 billion. The reserves stood at HK$537 billion as of November 30, compared to HK$455.5 billion a year earlier. HK jobless rate falls to 4pc: HK's unemployment rate declined from 4.1 per cent in September to November last year to 4.0 per cent in October to December last year.

Fax: 01603 723000 or e-mail: [email protected] FOREWORD This is the fourteenth in a series of six-monthly reports to Parliament on the implementation of the Sino-British Joint Declaration on the Question of Hong Kong. It covers the period from 1 July to 31 December 2003. This was an eventful period for Hong Kong. It started with the largest demonstration since the handover, when some 500,000 people took to the streets on 1 July, shortly before the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (SAR) Government was intending to enact controversial national security legislation. The fact that half a million people could demonstrate so peacefully (there was not a single arrest) is of great credit to the people of Hong Kong. This determined and dignified expression of commitment to uphold Hong Kong’s rights and freedoms was admired and commented upon internationally.

  • Chapter XV : Security 87 15.1 at the Chairman's Invitation, the Secretary
    Chapter XV : Security 15.1 At the Chairman’s invitation, the Secretary for Security (S for S), Mr Ambrose LEE, briefed members on the main initiatives of the programmes under the Policy Area: Security (Appendix V-13). Strength and establishment Civilianization of posts 15.2 In response to Mr James TO’s enquiry on the civilianization of posts within the disciplinary services, S for S explained that civilianization of posts, the objective of which was to simplify organisational structure and deploy resources more flexibly, was not new to the disciplinary services. Under the current fiscal deficit, the disciplinary services would continue to pursue this measure. A Steering Committee which was chaired by the deputy head of department had been set up in every disciplinary service to identify potentials of civilianization. As the Steering Committees had yet to finalize their recommendations, it was not possible to quantify the civilianization of posts at the present stage. Members would be informed of the position when the Committees submitted their reports in June 2004. Responding further to Mr TO, S for S said that while there were no set targets for the civilianization of posts, each disciplinary service should strive to make the best use of its available resources. He assured members that the civilianization of posts would not in any way compromise the effectiveness and efficiency of services rendered to the public. Mr TO said that he would support the civilianization of posts on the understanding that this would not affect the delivery of service to the public. Deletion of posts 15.3 Ms Emily LAU noted the number of posts to be deleted in the various disciplined departments in 2004-05.
