同時，界別分組的劃分亦有所調整和優化，納入了更多的界別分組，目的是配合香港的社會和經濟情況的發展，另外亦進一步增加了代表基層利益的聲音，更能體現廣泛代表性和均衡參與，這些在現時香港實際情況下，更有利於發展優質的民主。
At the same time delineation of ECSS has also been adjusted and enhanced to include more subsectors to tie in with the social and economic development of Hong Kong . In addition the voices representing the interests of the grass roots will be further amplified so as to better demonstrate the principles of broad representativeness and balanced participation . This will be conducive to developing quality democracy which accords with the current actual situation in Hong Kong
在職能方面，選委會獲賦予兩項新的重要職能，除了原來負責提名和選舉行政長官外，亦負責選舉40名選委會界別的立法會議員，以及參與提名立法會議員所有候選人。
EC will be conferred with two new functions . Apart from performing the original functions of nominating candidates for the Chief Executive and electing the Chief Executive EC will also be responsible for electing 40 Members of the Legislative Council from the EC constituency and nominating all candidates in the Legislative Council elections
此舉是為了強化立法會的代表性，體現均衡參與，確保立法會顧及不同界別的利益和訴求，同時能夠將不同界別、團體和地區的利益與香港社會的整體利益結合起來。
This initiative will strengthen the representativeness of the Legislative Council demonstrate the principle of balanced participation and ensure that the Legislative Council will take into account the interests and demands of different sectors on the one hand and integrate the interests of different sectors bodies and districts with the overall interests of the Hong Kong society on the other
未來的立法會將會更具以香港整體利益為依歸的基礎。
The future Legislative Council will be formed on a basis which puts the overall interests of Hong Kong first
在完善後的選舉制度下，選委會界別分組和功能界別的組成將會有所改動，我們需要根據修訂後的登記資格進行選民登記工作，以編製和發表選民登記冊。
Under the improved electoral system the constitution of ECSS and functional constituencies FCs will be revised . The authorities need to carry out voter registration VR based on the revised registration eligibility in order to compile and publish the register of voters
《條例草案》亦對有關的選民登記工作、程序和限期作相應修訂，包括編製和發表各選民登記冊、提出申索及反對的時間等，以趕及即將舉行的數場公共選舉。
The Bill has also made corresponding amendments to the relevant VR work procedures and deadlines including the compilation and publication of registers of voters the period for filing claims and objections so that the upcoming public elections can be held in time
另外，在完善選舉制度後，選委會界別分組、立法會和區議會3場公共選舉的日期均會集中在11月至12月期間。
In addition after the electoral system has been improved the three public elections of ECSS the Legislative Council and DCs will all be held in the vicinity of November and December
因此，我們無需繼續現時為區議會及非區議會選舉年訂立兩套選民登記程序的做法，取而代之的是《條例草案》會自2022年選民登記周期起，訂立一套選民登記程序的恆常日期。
As such there is no need to specify two sets of VR procedures applicable to DC election years and non - DC election years . Instead the Bill has provided that starting from the VR cycle of 2022 one set of regular dates will be adopted in the VR process
此外，因應過去公共選舉的實際情況，社會上亦有不同的聲音和訴求，希望選舉管理委員會能優化現有選舉的種種安排。
Besides in the light of the public elections in the past there are different voices and demands in the community calling for the Electoral Affairs Commission EAC to enhance various existing electoral arrangements
就此，政制及內地事務局已聯同選舉事務處和律政司檢視了現行規管各項選舉安排的相關法例。
In this connection the Constitutional and Mainland Affairs Bureau has in collaboration with the Registration and Electoral Office and the Department of Justice reviewed the existing legislation on the regulation of various electoral arrangements
參考了選管會在2020年10月9日向行政長官提交的報告書和社會的各種意見，在《條例草案》中引進有關改善公共選舉安排的法例修訂，包括在公共選舉的派發選票程序中引入電子選民登記冊、優化查閱和編製選民登記冊的工作及為有需要的選民在公共選舉中設立關愛安排等。
Taking into account EACs report submitted to the Chief Executive on 9 October 2020 and various views in society the Bill has introduced legislative amendments on improving the arrangements in public elections which include implementing electronic poll register in the ballot paper issuance process in public elections; enhancing the inspection and compilation of the registers of electors making caring arrangements for electors in need in public elections
在此，我希望就議員比較關注的事項作出一些扼要說明和回應。
Now I would like to briefly expound and respond to the issues that Members are more concerned about
新修訂的《基本法》附件一和附件二，較過往更清晰地規定了行政長官和立法會的產生辦法，例如列明了選委會各界別分組的席位數目及具體產生辦法等。
The newly amended Annexes I and II to the Basic Law specify more clearly the method for the selection of the Chief Executive and the method for the formation of the Legislative Council . For example it sets out the delimitation of and the number of seats allocated to each sector of EC and the specific methods for returning EC members
《條例草案》推出後，焦點便落到選委會不同界別分組或立法會功能界別的選民基礎組成。
After the introduction of the Bill the focus is on the electorate base of the different ECSS or FCs of the Legislative Council
不少議員關注政府納入各個選委會界別分組的團體投票人或立法會功能界別的新組成方式 及選民基礎的準則。
Quite a few Members are concerned about the criteria for the Governments inclusion of corporate voters in various ECSS or the new method of formation and the electorates of FCs of the Legislative Council
我希望藉此機會再次重申，特區政府在考慮有關組成時，已全面慎重地按照3項重要原則作出有關決定，包括：1在相關界別分組有廣泛代表性、2與相關界別分組有密切聯繫，及3符合"愛國者治港"的原則。
I would like to take this opportunity to reiterate again that when considering the relevant composition the SAR Government has made relevant decisions in a comprehensive and prudential manner based on three important principles including 1 being broadly representative in the relevant subsectors 2 having substantial connection with the relevant subsectors and 3 adherence to the principle of patriots administering Hong Kong
而在考慮個別團體是否符合上述準則時，我們亦已徵詢相關政策局和部門的意見。
When considering whether individual bodies meet the above criteria we have also consulted relevant Policy Bureaux and departments
政府明白，部分選委會界別分組/功能界別的建議組成方式及選民基礎未必能令所有議員和相關持份者完全滿意，亦理解部分社會人士未必滿意在整體席位數目增加的同時，自己所屬的界別影響力卻有所下降；亦有人可能會不滿修例後失去了原來擁有的選委票。
The Government understands that the proposed methods of composition of some ECSSFCs may not be completely satisfactory to all Members and relevant stakeholders . It also understands that some members of the community may not be satisfied with the declining influence of their sectors while there is an increase in the overall number of seats; some may also be dissatisfied that they may lose the votes from the original EC after the legislative amendments
正如我在法案委員會多次重申，我們希望議員、大眾理解，完善選舉制度是為了確保"一國兩制"行穩致遠，以及提升香港特區的治理能力，從而確保香港長治久安，長期繁榮穩定。
As I have repeatedly reiterated in the Bills Committee we hope that Members and the general public would understand that improving the electoral system is for guaranteeing the sound and sustained implementation of the one country two systems principle and enhance the governance capability of the HKSAR so as to safeguard the long - term stability and prosperity of Hong Kong
在選委會組成和產生辦法的整合過程中，個別席位數目或選民基礎的增減是無可避免的，政府已盡力按照三大標準原則在社會不同階層、界別和團體之間作出合適平衡。
In the course of consolidating the method for and the composition of EC it is inevitable for the individual number of seats or the electorate to increase or decrease . The Government has tried its best to strike a proper balance among different classes sectors and groups in society in accordance with the principles of three major standard principles
《條例草案》的另一重點，是按《基本法》附件一和附件二，設立候選人資格審查委員會。
Another key point of the Bill is the establishment of the Candidate Eligibility Review Committee CERC pursuant to Annexes I and II to the Basic Law
行政長官於4月13日的記者會上已公開承諾，把資審會的組成擴展至愛國、獨立和沒有政治聯繫的社會領袖，以進一步增加資審會的公信力。
The Chief Executive has publicly undertaken at the press conference on 13 April to extend the composition of CERC to include patriotic independent and apolitical community leaders in order to further increase the credibility of CERC
就此，我將動議修正案，將資審會的人數上限從5人增加至8人，並修訂行政長官除了委任主席及2至4名官守成員外，須同時委任1至3名非官守成員。
In this regard I will move an amendment to increase the upper limit of members in CERC from five to eight and stipulate that the Chief Executive shall in addition to the chairperson and two to four official members appoint one to three non - official members
另外，有議員認為《條例草案》有關資審會方面原來的草擬方式不夠清晰。
Moreover some members think that the original drafting approach of the Bill regarding CERC is not clear enough
因應委員的提議，我將動議修正案，加入新訂條文，訂明"對資審會根據香港特別行政區維護國家安全委員會的審查意見書作出選舉委員候選人、行政長官候選人或立法會議員候選人資格確認的決定，不得提起訴訟"。
In response to members suggestions I will move amendments to add a new provisions to specify that no legal proceedings may be instituted in respect of a decision made by CERC of HKSAR on the eligibility of a candidate for EC member or for the office of Chief Executive pursuant to the opinion of the Committee for Safeguarding National Security of HKSAR
有關修正可以更準確、整全的反映《基本法》附件一和附件二的精神，避免產生疑問。
The relevant amendment can more accurately and completely reflect the spirit of Annexes I and II to the Basic Law and avoid doubt
此外，議員曾提出意見，認為應在法例中指明資審會可要求候選人、獲提名人等提供任何其他資料，當中包括有關人士是否擁有外國國籍或外國居留權、是否與外國政治組織有聯繫、曾否接受該等組織的款項等。
In addition members have expressed views that it should be specified in the law that CERC may require a candidate a nominee etc . to furnish any other information including whether the person concerned is in possession of foreign nationalities or the right of abode in foreign countries and whether the person has connections with political bodies in foreign countries and has received funding from such bodies
我們認為現時有關條文的草擬方式可為資審會提供最大的靈活性，容許資審會在考慮候選人、獲提名人等的提名是否有效時， 可要求他們提供任何其他資料。
We believe that the existing drafting approach of the provisions aims to provide flexibility for CERC to request any other information from candidates nominees et al . when considering the validity of their nominations
待《條例草案》獲通過後，政府會就須收集的資料類別情況徵詢資審會的意見。
Upon passage of the Bill the Government will consult CERC on the types of information to be collected
另外，有議員關注若擔任指明職位的人為公職人員而不符合登記為當然委員的資格時，其替補的安排為何。
In addition some members are concerned about the arrangements for replacement if the person holding the specified position is a public servant and is not eligible to be registered as an ex - officio member
按照《條例草案》規定，若指明人士不符合擔任當然委員的資格，他可指定1名在該團體擔任職位的人士登記為當然委員，有關指定人士的登記表格亦須由指明人士簽名作實。
According to the Bill if a specified person is not eligible to serve as an ex - officio member he may designate another person who is holding an office in a relevant body to be registered as an ex - officio member and the registration form of the designated person must also be signed by the specified person
此規定與議員所建議的做法，即必須由指明人士作出指定安排是一致的，有關團體亦無權作出指定的安排。
This requirement is consistent with the approach suggested by Members ie . designated arrangements must be made by designated persons and relevant bodies do not have the right to make designated arrangements
提名方面，根據經修訂的《基本法》附件二，所有立法會候選人均須獲10至20名選委會委員提名，並須包括選委會全部5個界別各自2至4名選委的提名。
In terms of nomination according to the amended Annex II to the Basic Law candidates for members of the Legislative Council returned by EC shall be nominated by at least 10 but no more than 20 members of EC with at least two but no more than four members from each of the five sectors
有關選委會委員提名立法會候選人的安排，經考慮議員的意見後，我將會提出修正案，致使每名選委會委員將能以其不同身份在提名表格簽署提名地方選區、功能界別和選委會界別參選人，在不違反《基本法》附件二有關規定的前提下，為有權提名候選人的選委會委員提供更大的靈活性。
Regarding the arrangements for members of EC to nominate candidates for members of the Legislative Council after considering Members views I will propose an amendment such that each EC member can subscribe nomination forms using different capacities and nominate candidates in a geographical constituency GC FC or EC election . Under the premise of not violating the relevant provisions of Annex II to the Basic Law this allows the greatest flexibility for EC members who have the right to nominate candidates
另一個議員關注的問題，是有關終止立法會選舉的程序問題。
Another issue of concern to Members is about the termination of the proceedings for the Legislative Council election
根據現時法例，如在某地方選區或功能界別的選舉提名期結束後至選舉日期間，獲有效提名的候選人去世，或喪失獲提名為候選人的資格，則選舉主任須宣布選舉程序終止的安排。
According to the existing legislation after the close of nominations for an election for a GC or an FC but before the date of the election if a validly nominated candidate has died or is disqualified from being nominated as a candidate the Returning Officer must declare that the proceedings for the election are terminated
但考慮到議員的關注，我將動議修正案，訂明如地方選區及功能界別獲有效提名的候選人在提名期結束後至選舉日期間去世或喪失有效的提名資格，有關的選舉程序將不會終止。
Nevertheless having regard to Members concerns I will move an amendment to provide that in case of death or disqualification of a validly nominated candidate in a GC and an FC after the close of nominations but before the close of polling for the election the relevant election proceedings would not be terminated
同時，因應議員的要求，我亦將動議修正案，訂明如獲有效提名的候選人在選舉當日，在選舉投票結束前逝世或喪失獲提名的資格，任何界別或選區的選舉程序均不會終止。
Furthermore as requested by Members I will move an amendment to specify that in case of death or disqualification of a validly nominated candidate in a GC and an FC on the date of an election but before the close of polling for the election the relevant election proceedings would not be terminated
至於規管破壞選舉行為方面，《條例草案》的第336條旨在於《選舉條例》中加入新的條文，以指明在選舉期間藉公開活動煽惑另一人不投票或投無效票為非法行為。
Regarding the regulation of conduct that sabotages an election clause 336 of the Bill seeks to add a new provision to the Elections Ordinance to specify the illegal conduct of inciting another person not to vote or to cast an invalid vote by public activity during an election period
有議員關注擬議新 訂條文內容可能令人誤墮法網，並曾建議條文應清晰指明煽惑行為須具備操縱、破壞選舉的意圖。
Some members have expressed concerns that the proposed new section may be breached inadvertently and suggested that the provision should clearly require that the incitement conduct be specified with an intent to manipulate and undermine the election
經考慮議員的意見及建議後，政府認為，要舉證一個藉公開活動煽惑另一人不投票或投無效票的人，同時具有"操縱、破壞選舉"的意圖，在實際執法時或會出現相當困難。
Having considered members views and suggestions the Government has advised that it would be very difficult for enforcement in practice to prove that a person has the intent of manipulating and undermining the election while inciting another person not to vote or to cast an invalid vote by public activity
若此罪行要求控方證明"操縱、破壞選舉"的意圖，很有可能令政府不能依據經修訂的《基本法》附件一和附件二，有效規管"操縱、破壞選舉"的行為。
If this offence requires the prosecution to prove an intent to manipulate and undermine the election it is likely to indirectly prevent the Government from effectively regulating electoral activities in accordance with the amended Annex I and Annex II to the Basic Law
因此，我們不建議在該條文中列明相關意圖的規定。
The Administration does not therefore propose to specify the relevant intent in the provision
我稍後會在全體委員會審議階段提出合共369項修正案，除上述主要關注事項外，我們亦吸納了法案委員會及社會上收集到的意見，決定修訂《條例草案》的部分內容。
I will later propose a total of 369 amendments at the Committee stage
當中包括在立法會當屆任期完結日與選委會的組成日或選委會舉行補選的日期相隔多於12個月的情況下，在立法會換屆選舉前將舉行選委會界別分組補選；另外，將特別選民登記限期延後至2021年7月5日，並擴大其適用範圍；同時，把香港紅十字會從選委會醫學及衞生服務界界別分組的指明職位及指明實體除名等。
In addition to the main concerns mentioned above we have also accepted the views collected in the Bills Committee and the community and decided to amend some parts of the Bill including specifying that if the date on which the current term of office of the Legislative Council is to end is more than 12 months from the constitution date of EC or the date of holding the ECSS by - election then an ECSS by - election should be held before the general election of the Legislative Council . In addition the special VR deadline will be extended to 5 July 2021 and the application scope of the special VR will be expanded . At the same time the Hong Kong Red Cross will be removed from the list of specified offices and specified entities of ECs medical and health services subsector
稍後我會再作詳細解釋及介紹。
I will present detailed explanation and introduction later
《條例草案》的各項修訂及修正案已獲得法案委員會的支持。
Various amendments in the Bill have been supported by the Bills Committee
我在此再次感謝議員和社會各界對完善選舉制度的關注及支持。
I would like to thank Members and various sectors of the community for their concern and support for improving the electoral system
完善選舉制度、修補法律漏洞及缺陷，將為"愛國者治港"提供堅實的制度保障，使"一國兩制"的實踐重回正軌、行穩致遠，鞏固特區憲制基礎，維護國家安全和香港繁榮穩定。
Improving the electoral system and plugging legal loopholes and rectifying deficiencies will provide a solid institutional guarantee for patriots administering Hong Kong so that the implementation of one country two systems will get back on track and be sound and sustained; the constitutional foundation of the SAR will be consolidated and national security and the prosperity and stability of Hong Kong will be safeguarded
政府將致力於良政善治，與社會各界一同集中精力發展經濟、改善民生，達致長治久安。
The Government will be committed to good governance and will work with various sectors of the community to focus on economic development improve peoples livelihood and achieve long - term peace and stability
主席，我動議恢復二讀《2021年完善選舉制度條例草案》，希望議員支持並通過二讀《條例草案》及我稍後動議的修正案，以落實新選舉制度，讓政府盡快就緊接而來的3場選舉開展籌備工作。
President I move that the Second Reading of the Improving Electoral System Bill 2021 be resumed . I hope that Members will support and pass the Second Reading of the Bill and the amendments I will move later to implement the new electoral system and allow the Government to prepare for the three forthcoming elections as soon as possible
其實，主要原因是我們面對着一些企圖破壞香港選舉的"攬炒派"或"黑暴"的人。
In fact the main reason is that we are facing members of the mutual destruction camp or black - clad rioters who are trying to sabotage the elections in Hong Kong
針對過去選舉中遇到的問題，我剛才提到重複排隊的問題，希望局長、司長未來可以考慮一下，有很多是我親眼見到的，他們排到學校門口便回頭再排隊，那麼如何才能防止他重複排隊呢？
Regarding the problems encountered in previous elections such as repetitive queuing I mentioned just now I hope that the Secretary and the Chief Secretary can consider these problems in the future . I have seen many people already in the line turn around and queue up again once they reached the school gate so what can be done to prevent them from queuing up again?
否則他便一直阻礙選民投票。
Otherwise they will keep blocking voters from voting
代理主席，這節我想談的修正案，涉及政府補助的學校和非政府機構如果不遵從總選舉事務主任的要求借出物業作為投票站或點票站便罰款，政府提出罰款1萬元，但經過我們多位議員的要求，現在修訂至5萬元。
Deputy Chairman the amendments I would like to talk about in this session involve the penalty for publicly - funded schools and non - governmental organizations for failing to comply with the requirement of the Chief Electoral Officer to make available their premises for use as polling stations or counting stations . The Government proposed a fine of 10,000 but at the request of many Members the fine has been revised to 50,000
代理主席，我想告訴局長和司長，其實我們在地區看見很多這些問題。
Deputy Chairman I would like to tell the Secretary and the Chief Secretary that we have actually detected many of these problems in the districts
如果投票日很冷、很熱或下雨，投票人數一定會減少，如果他們需要走很遠的路，更不會去投票。
If it is cold hot or raining on the polling day the number of voters will definitely decrease and if they have to walk a long way they will not go to vote
這些物業本身屬於政府，如果他們不願意借出，政府便要迫選民走很遠的路去投票，導致少了很多市民可以去投票或樂意去投票，這是很嚴重的問題。
These properties belong to the Government and if they are not willing to make available their premises the Government will have to make voters travel a long way to vote . As a result fewer people are able or willing to vote which is a serious problem
主席，經過一個多月來的審議工作，完善選舉制度的《2021年完善選舉制度條例草案》，即將進行三讀表決。
President after slightly over a month of deliberation Members will soon proceed to vote on the Third Reading of the Improving Electoral System Bill 2021 the Bill one which seeks to enhance our electoral system
表決前，我希望感謝所有公務員同事及我們的問責團隊，包括律政司、政制及內地事務局、政府新聞處等部門的同事，大家不眠不休地進行法例草擬、審議和解說的工作，令我們能夠及時完成這項極為艱巨的工作。
Before voting I wish to thank all my civil service colleagues and our team of accountability officials including colleagues from departments such as the Department of Justice the Constitutional and Mainland Affairs Bureau and the Information Services Department for their relentless efforts in drafting scrutinizing and explaining the legislation which have enabled us to bring this extremely difficult task to timely completion
我亦要感謝在座每一位議員，無論你們有沒有參加法案委員會，你們都為這次修例工作提供了很多寶貴的意見；我亦要特別感謝議會外的政黨、社團、友好團體等，大家在社會上進行了大量動員和解說工作，讓社會大眾明白這次完善選舉制度的深遠意義，並反駁無理的抹黑和指責，發放正面信息。
I must also thank the various Honourable Members who are present here now . Irrespective of whether they have participated in the Bills Committee concerned they have all put forth many valuable views on this legislative amendment exercise . I must likewise express particular thanks to those political parties associations and friendly groups outside the legislature for mobilizing enormous manpower in conducting explanatory work in the community to enable the general public to understand the far - reaching significance of the improvements to the electoral system this time around and disseminate a positive message by rebuking those groundless slanders and reproaches
我更感謝社會大眾支持今次完善選舉制度和落實"愛國者治港"，令"一國兩制"行穩致遠。
I am even thankful to the general public for supporting the improvements to the electoral system this time around and the implementation of the principle of patriots administering Hong Kong as this will facilitate the steadfast implementation of one country two systems in the long run
兩星期前，立法會通過規範公職人員在參選和任職時必須宣誓效忠的法案。
Two weeks ago the Legislative Council passed a bill stipulating that public officers must swear allegiance when standing for elections and holding public office
今天，完善選舉制度的修例工作亦接近尾聲。
Today the legislative amendment exercise on improving the electoral system is also drawing to a close
法例通過之後，將為"愛國者治港"提供堅實和全面的制度保障，議會可以重回正軌，切實履行和貫徹《基本法》賦予立法機關的憲制職能，與特區政治體制的其他組成部分，共同維護國家主權、安全和發展利益，以及香港的長期繁榮穩定。
Upon its endorsement the legislation will offer solid and comprehensive institutional safeguards for the principle of patriots administering Hong Kong and enable the legislature to get back on track pragmatically perform and uphold its constitutional functions and duties as the legislature conferred by the Basic Law while also joining hands with other components of the SARs political system in safeguarding the sovereignty security and development interests of the country and Hong Kongs long - term prosperity and stability
《條例草案》獲得通過後，特區政府在未來10個月內將要籌備3場十分重要的選舉工作，當中涉及大量人手並且工作繁重而艱巨，這包括特別選民登記安排、選舉工作人員的招募和培訓、選舉指引的制訂、投票日的部署、制訂預案、印刷選票、甄選及準備投票站和後備票站等。
After the passage of the Bill the SAR Government will need to prepare for three important elections within the 10 months that follow and the process will involve substantial manpower and arduous mammoth tasks including special voter registration arrangements the recruitment and training of election staff the formulation of election guidelines election day planning the preparation of contingency plans the printing of ballot papers and also the selection and arrangement of polling stations and reserve polling stations
特區政府會與選舉管理委員會、選舉事務處及廉政公署通力合作，一方面確保選舉在公平、公正、誠實及廉潔的情況下進行；另一方面亦嚴格按照經修訂的選舉法例做好各方面的安排，務求令各項選舉能夠安全有序地如期進行，並盡量便利市民進行投票。
The SAR Government will join hands with the Electoral Affairs Commission the Registration and Electoral Office and also the Independent Commission Against Corruption to ensure the fair just honest and clean conduct of the elections on the one hand and to draw up proper arrangements in various respects in strict accordance with the amended electoral legislation on the other with a view to ensuring the safe and orderly conduct of the various elections as scheduled and making it as convenient as possible for people to cast their votes
主席，我謹此陳辭，希望議員支持三讀完善選舉制度的《條例草案》。
President with these remarks I hope Honourable Members can support the Third Reading of the Bill that seeks to improve the electoral system
主席，完善選舉制度的安排是要確保一個制度能保障"愛國者治港"的目標，但如何能確保當選的人是真正的愛國者？
Chairman the arrangements made to improve the electoral system is to ensure that the system can safeguard the objective of patriots administering Hong Kong . But how can we ensure that the people elected are genuine patriots?
其中一個改革重點是設立候選人資格審查委員會。
A highlight of the reform is the setting up of the Candidate Eligibility Review Committee CERC
新修訂的《基本法》附件一及附件二均有設立資審會的條文，由於資審會擔當把關的角色，旨在確保參選、有機會進入香港政治體制的人都是愛國者，這是保障中的保障，是很值得肯定的。
There are provisions on the establishment of CERC in the newly amended Annexes I and II to the Basic Law . As CERC will take on a gate - keeping role with the aim of ensuring that candidates in elections and people who stand a chance of entering the political system of Hong Kong are patriots its establishment will provide the most important protection and merits our support
事實上，資審會是《基本法》附件設立的重要機關，也是今次選舉制度改革的一 項重要的制度創新，承擔着在制度上落實"愛國者治港"的重要功能。
In fact CERC is an important organization the establishment of which is provided for in the Annexes to the Basic Law . It is a major institutional innovation in this reform of the electoral system performing the crucial function of implementing patriots administering Hong Kong institutionally
