This will provide more room for piloting the issuance of green bonds that involves more types of currencies project types issuance format and channels

The Legislative Council passed a resolution in July 2021 to raise the borrowing ceiling of the Programme to HK200 billion and expand the scope to funding a wider variety of green projects not limited to public works projects

In fact international carbon markets are expected to grow significantly as the Mainland and other key overseas markets are dedicated to transitioning to a green low - emission and climate - resilient economy

主席，首先，我要衷心感謝《2021年刑事罪行條例草案》的法案委員會主席葛珮帆議員、副主席容海恩議員及各位委員、秘書處及法律顧問所作出的努力，令《條例草案》的審議工作得以順利完成。
President I would first of all like to express my heartfelt gratitude to Ms Elizabeth QUAT Chairman of the Bills Committee formed to study the Crimes Amendment Bill 2021 the Bill Ms YUNG Hoi - yan Deputy Chairman of the Bills Committee other members of the Bills Committee the Legislative Council Secretariat and the Legal Adviser to the Bills Committee for the strenuous efforts they have made to ensure the smooth completion of the scrutiny of the Bill
我亦感謝不同團體及人士就《條例草案》表達的寶貴意見。
I also thank various organizations and individuals for their valuable views on the Bill
法案委員會一共舉行了5次會議，深入討論《條例草案》的政策目的及條文細節。
The Bills Committee has held five meetings to conduct in - depth discussions on the policy objectives and detailed provisions of the Bill
現行法例並無針對窺淫或偷拍的特定罪行。
There is currently no specific offence against voyeurism or clandestine photography
視乎每宗案件的情況，有關行為現時會按不同的現行法例條文作出檢控，例如遊蕩罪、有犯罪或不誠實意圖而取用電腦罪、公眾地方內擾亂秩序行為罪及破壞公眾體統罪等，但以這些控罪作出檢控存在一定限制及困難，刑罰也相對較輕。
Depending on the circumstances of each case such acts have now been prosecuted with offences under different existing ordinances such as loitering access to computer with criminal or dishonest intent disorder in public places and outraging public decency but there are limitations and difficulties in prosecuting with these charges and they also have relatively low levels of penalty
就此，我們在《條例草案》中建議修訂《刑事罪行條例》，以訂立4項新罪行。
In this connection we propose in the Bill to amend the Crimes Ordinance to provide for four new offences
第一，訂立窺淫罪以處理在有合理私隱期望的情況下作出的偷窺或偷拍行為。
Firstly it would be an offence of voyeurism for a person to observe or record an image of an individual who is in circumstances that give rise to a reasonable expectation of privacy
第二，訂立非法拍攝或觀察私密部位罪，處理包括俗稱"影裙底"和"高炒"拍攝胸部的行為。
Secondly an offence of illegally recording or observing an intimate part of an individual would be introduced to deal with certain acts including those commonly known as upskirting photography and down - blousing which seeks to capture an image of the breast of an individual
我們亦建議訂立兩項與發布影像有關的罪行，包括一發布干犯窺淫罪或非法拍攝或觀察私密部位罪所得的私密影像，以及二未經同意下發布或威脅發布私密影像。
We also propose to introduce two offences relating to the publication of images including 1 an offence of publishing an intimate image that originates from the commission of the proposed offences of voyeurism or illegally recording or observing an intimate part of an individual and 2 an offence of publishing or threatening to publish an intimate image without consent
當中，未經同意下發布或威脅發布私密影像罪處理受害人可能曾經同意拍攝私密影像，但沒有同意後來的發布行為的情況，例如色情報復的情況。
Among the four proposed offences the one relating to the publication or threatened publication of an intimate image without consent would be used to deal with the circumstances under which a consent has been given by the subject individual to being recorded but no consent has ever been given to the subsequent publication of the recorded image such as revenge porn
四項新訂罪行的最高刑罰為監禁5年。
A person who commits any one of the four proposed new offences would be liable to imprisonment for up to five years
政府亦建議在法例中加入免責辯護條款，除了因性目的而犯案的人士外，涉案人可藉向法庭確立自己有合法權限或合理辯解，作為未有遵守有關法例的免責條款。
The Government also proposes to provide in the legislation that it is a defence for a person charged for such new offences to establish to the court that heshe had lawful authority or reasonable excuse for the contravention
我們很高興見到《條例草案》的立法建議得到議員及市民大眾的廣泛支持。
We are very pleased to note that the legislative proposals under the Bill have gained wide support from Members and the general public
社會大眾認同應該將窺淫、偷拍及未經同意發布私密影像的行為刑事化。
It is generally accepted by the community that the acts of voyeurism clandestine photography and publishing an intimate image without consent should be criminalized
在立法的過程中，我們本着一個原則，就是要向公眾發出清晰的信息，不應作出這些卑劣的行為，以及干犯有關罪行會有嚴重的後果。
During the legislative process we have been guided by the principle that a clear message must be conveyed to the public that no one should commit such despicable acts and that there could be serious consequences for committing the proposed offences
透過訂立特定罪行，可以阻嚇不法分子干犯窺淫、偷拍及未經同意發布私密影像的行為，從而保護可能受害的人。
With the introduction of specific offences unscrupulous elements would be deterred from committing such acts as voyeurism clandestine photography and publishing an intimate image without consent thereby offering protection to potential victims
同時，透過條文的草擬方式確保罪行範圍明確，不會讓無辜的人在不知情下犯罪。
In the meantime we have striven to lay down a clear scope for the proposed offences through the drafting of different provisions so that innocent people will not be unknowingly caught by the new offences
有賴議員及公眾提出的寶貴意見，我們在立法過程中不斷完善方案，令《條例草案》更為全面。
With reference to the valuable comments received from Members and the general public we have kept improving the proposed regulatory regime during the legislative process in order to make the Bill more comprehensive
例如政府參考今年1月諮詢立法會保安事務委員會時所收到的意見，在提交立法會審議的《條例草案》中加入條文處理"拍攝衣領"，即"高炒"拍攝胸部的問題，並且將未經同意下發布私密影像罪涵蓋威脅發布的行為。
For example having taken into consideration the views received in January this year when the Legislative Council Panel on Security was consulted on the legislative proposals the Government has included provisions in the Bill introduced for scrutiny by the Legislative Council to deal with the capturing of an image of the breast of an individual through down - blousing and to extend the scope of the offence of publishing an intimate image without consent to cover the act of threatened publication
在法案委員會審議期間，政府經仔細考慮委員提出的意見後，也將提出全體委員會修正案，令《條例草案》更加完善。
During deliberation by the Bills Committee the Government has also taken the views expressed by its members into detailed consideration and proposed some amendments to be moved at Committee stage for the further perfection of the Bill
稍後我將會就《條例草案》動議共15項修正案，包括修訂"私密影像"的定義以涵蓋經修改的影像，並賦權法庭發出處置令處理違法的私密影像。
I will move a total of 15 amendments to the Bill later including those proposed to amend the definition of intimate image to include altered image as well as empower the court to issue a disposal order for the purpose of taking down illegal intimate images
這些修正案均回應了法案委員會和市民大眾提出的意見，我會在稍後全體委員會階段詳細解釋政府提出的修正案。
These amendments are proposed in response to the views of the Bills Committee and the general public and I will give a detailed elaboration of the Governments proposed amendments at Committee stage later
主席，我動議恢復二讀《條例草案》，希望議員支持並通過二讀《條例草案》，以及我稍後在全體委員會審議階段中提出的修正案，以立法禁止這些嚴重侵犯受害人的私隱及性自主權的行為。
President I move that the Second Reading of the Bill be resumed and hope that Members will support and endorse the resumption of the Second Reading of the Bill as well as the amendments to be proposed at Committee stage later so that we can legislate to prohibit acts that seriously infringe upon victims right to privacy and sexual autonomy
主席，我謹依照議程，動議通過我名下的決議案，訂立《2021年刑事案件法律援助規則》。
President I move that the resolution standing in my name on the Agenda be passed to make the Legal Aid in Criminal Cases Amendment Rules 2021 . The Criminal Procedure Rules Committee makes the Legal Aid in Criminal Cases Rules Cap
根據《條例》第9A1條，《修訂規則》須經立法會批准。
Under section 9A1 of CPO the Amendment Rules are subject to the approval of the Legislative Council
為確保法援署和律政司在聘請律師提供服務時的公平性，律政司會參照法援署的刑事法援費用收費表，支付獲委聘代表控方出庭處理刑事案件的私人執業大律師和律師。
To ensure that LAD and the Department of Justice DoJ are on a level playing field in engaging lawyers for their services DoJ will draw reference to the scale of criminal legal aid fees of LAD to pay fees to counsel and solicitors in private practice engaged to appear for the prosecution in criminal cases
至於透過當值律師服務為裁判法院和少年法庭的被告人出任法律代表的律師，則會獲支付當值律師費用。
As for lawyers providing legal representation to defendants in Magistrates Courts and Juvenile Courts through the Duty Lawyer Service they will be paid duty lawyer fees
在推行檢討時，政府主要會考慮參照期內的一般物價變動情況，以及委聘大律師和律師時有否出現困難。
In conducting the reviews the Government takes into account mainly the general price movement during the reference period and whether there has been difficulty in engaging the services of counsel and solicitors
因此，我們建議把該3項費用相應上調2.7%。
As stated CPIC for the reference period increased by 2.7 % so we propose to adjust the three fees upwards by 2.7 % accordingly
事務委員會對建議增幅並無異議。
The Panel raised no objection to the proposal
在法援署實施經上調的刑事法援費用時，律政司會以行政方式，同步並相應調整檢控費用的收費表。行政署亦會透過行政方式，調整當值律師費用。
At the implementation of the increased criminal legal aid fees by LAD DoJ will simultaneously and correspondingly adjust the scale of prosecution fees through administrative means and the Administration Wing will also adjust the duty lawyer fees administratively
如立法會通過決議案，我們會於刊憲當日實施《修訂規則》。
Subject to the Legislative Councils approval of the resolution we will implement the Amendment Rules upon their gazettal
