由於這些家族的長輩並未與訂明的實益擁有人或重要控制人訂立任何股權控制的協議，在這情況下，究竟誰才是法例規定的真正實益擁人或重要控制人？
As these elders have not entered into any share - holding agreement with the named beneficial owners or significant controllers who then are the true beneficial owners or significant controllers?
關於這種情況，我希望日後在《條例草案》獲得通過後，當局可提供相關的指引，清楚及具體地界定實益擁有人或重要控制人的定義，讓各公司有例可循。
In respect of this I hope that after the Bill is enacted the authorities will provide guidelines stipulating clearly the definition of a beneficial owner or a significant controller for compliance by companies
我和民建聯均支持《條例草案》。
Both the Democratic Alliance for the Betterment and Progress of Hong Kong and I support the Bill
法案委員會總共舉行了8次會議，與政府商議《條例草案》及聽取團體的意見。
The Bills Committee has held a total of eight meetings to deliberate on the Bill with the Government and receive views from deputations
法案委員會普遍支持《條例草案》的建議，令香港的打擊洗錢及恐怖分子資金籌集的規管制度，與財務行動特別組織公布的國際標準一致。
The Bills Committee supports the proposals of the Bill in general which would align Hong Kongs anti - money laundering and counter - terrorist financing AMLCTF regulatory regime with international standards as promulgated by the Financial Action Task Force FATF
《條例》附表2載列的不同風險情況下的客戶盡職審查規定。
Schedule 2 to AMLO has set out the CDD requirements applicable in different risk situations
公司註冊處處長亦將獲賦權可發出指引，以協助信託或公司服務持牌人實施客戶作盡職審查及備存紀錄的規定。
The Registrar of Companies will also be empowered to issue guidelines to facilitate TCSP licensees in implementing CDD and record - keeping requirements
政府強調，如指定非金融業人士不遵守《條例》附表2的有關規定，只會遭受紀律制裁，而非如金融機構般會受到《條例》所訂明的刑事制裁。
The Government has stressed that non - compliances with the requirements in Schedule 2 to AMLO by DNFBPs would only result in disciplinary sanctions instead of the criminal sanctions under AMLO as in the case of non - compliances by FIs
法案委員會部分委員指出，律師會已發出《實務指示P》，向所有律師行、律師及在香港執業的外地律師列出關乎打擊洗錢的規定。
Some members of the Bills Committee have pointed out that The Law Society has issued Practice Direction P PDP setting out requirements relating to anti - money laundering for all law firms solicitors and foreign lawyers practising in Hong Kong
鑒於《實務指示P》一直運作暢順，這些委員認為，當局應規定法律專業人士須遵守《實務指示P》而非《條例》附表2的規定。
Given that PDP has been operating smoothly these members have considered that the legal professionals should be required to follow the requirements in PDP instead of those in Schedule 2 to AMLO
政府解釋，特別組織規定金融機構及指定非金融業人士執行客戶盡職審查的原則，以及備存交易紀錄和藉客戶盡職審查措施所得資料的要求，應明文納入法規。
The Government has explained that the principle for FIs and DNFBPs to conduct CDD and maintain records on transactions and information obtained through CDD measures as required by FATF must be set out in law
《實務指示P》不具法律效力，當中所載的客戶盡職審查及備存紀錄規定不等同法例規定。
PDP does not have the force of law and CDD and record - keeping requirements under PDP do not amount to statutory requirements
法案委員會強調，香港所實施的打擊洗錢及恐怖分子資金籌集規定不應超越特別組織建議所訂的規定，以期減低金融機構及指定非金融業人士的合規成本，以及維持他們的競爭力。
The Bills Committee has stressed that Hong Kong should not implement AMLCTF requirements that are beyond FATF recommendations so as to minimize the compliance costs of FIs and DNFBPs and to maintain their competitiveness
有委員注意到，《條例》下備存紀錄的規定年期為6年，但特別組織建議的規定只是最少 5年而已，這些委員促請政府縮短現行6年的規定，以便與特別組織的建議看齊。
Noting that the record - keeping period under AMLO is six years while the corresponding FATF recommendation is merely at least five years a member has urged the Government to reduce the current six - year requirement in AMLO to align with the FATF recommendation
政府表示，指定非金融業人士及金融機構須遵守6年期的備存紀錄規定的建議，在諮詢期間獲得普遍支持。
The Government has advised that the proposal of requiring DNFBPs and FIs to maintain customer records for six years has received general support during the consultation
部分委員建議在《條例草案》中訂定有關安排，而該等中介人應包括香港及海外合資格專業人士。
Some members have suggested that such arrangements be included in the Bill under which such intermediaries should include both qualified professionals in Hong Kong and overseas
政府表示，指定非金融業人士依賴其他指定非金融業人士擔任中介人執行客戶盡職審查措施的情況並不普遍，但考慮到法案委員會提出的意見，政府會動議修正案修訂擬議的附表2第18條，以容許指定非金融業人士依賴中介人執行客戶盡職審查措施。
The Government has advised that it is not common for DNFBPs to rely on other DNFBPs as intermediaries to carry out CDD measures on their behalf . Nonetheless having regard to the views raised by the Bills Committee the Government will move CSAs to amend the proposed section 18 in Schedule 2 to allow DNFBPs to rely on intermediaries to carry out CDD measures
法案委員會促請公司註冊處提供清晰指引，以加深業界對發牌制度的了解，尤其是執業者在哪些情況下需要取得信託或公司服務提供者牌照，以及利便獲發牌的信託或公司服務提供者實施客戶盡職審查及備存紀錄的規定。
The Bills Committee has urged the Registry to provide clear guidelines to enhance the industrys understanding of the licensing regime in particular the circumstances under which practitioners are required to obtain TCSP licences; and to facilitate licensed TCSPs in implementing CDD and record - keeping requirements
涂謹申議員對現時的草擬方式表示關注，他認為有關條文目前不明確，並要求政府優化條文。
Considering the provision to be uncertain he has requested the Government to refine the provision
政府回應時表示，擬議新訂的第53ZO條是與現行的第53條對等的條文。
The Government has responded that the proposed new section 53ZO is the equivalent provision of the existing section 53 which applies to money service operators MSOs
因此，有關條文所用的並非新的草擬方法。
Hence the provision is not a new formula
涂謹申議員雖然察悉政府的解釋，但他表示會動議修正案，採用"在罪行發生後"的草擬方式訂明檢控時限。
Although Mr James TO has taken note of the Governments explanation he has indicated that he will move CSAs to state a time limit for prosecution adopting the formulation of after the commission of the offence
除了以上提及的政府擬議修正案外，當局亦會動議若干技術修訂。
Apart from the CSAs proposed by the Government mentioned above the authorities will also move some technical amendments
法案委員會對政府提出的修正案沒有異議，亦不會提出修正案。
The Bills Committee has no objection to the CSAs proposed by the Government and will not propose any CSAs
法案委員會支持恢復《條例草案》二讀辯論。
The Bills Committee supports the resumption of the Second Reading debate on the Bill
以下是我對《條例草案》的一些個人意見。
The following is my personal views on the Bill
當局提出《條例草案》的目的，與之前我說的《公司條例》一樣，都是按照特別組織的要求，優化香港打擊洗錢和恐怖分子籌集資金的規管制度，令有關規管制度和特別組織公布的國際水平達成一致。
As in the case of the Companies Ordinance which I have previously mentioned the authorities have proposed the Bill in order to refine Hong Kongs AMLCTF regulatory regime based on FATF requirements . In this way Hong Kongs AMLCTF regulatory regime will be aligned with the international standards as promulgated by FATF
《條例草案》的目的，是令香港可以履行應有的國際金融責任，各委員在審議期間亦對此表示支持。
The Bill seeks to enable Hong Kong to fulfil its international financial obligations . All members have expressed their support for this objective during the deliberation
不過，由於《條例草案》的影響層面廣泛，委員在審議期間提出了多項疑問及優化建議，藉此減少《條例草案》通過後業界所面對的問題，從而減少業界的合規負擔，以提升《條例》的成效。
However given the wide - ranging impact of the Bill members have raised a number of questions and made refinement suggestions during the deliberation in order to reduce the problems faced by the sector upon the passage of the Bill . This will enhance the effectiveness of the Bill by minimizing the compliance burden of the sector
《條例草案》中規管的指定非金融業人士，可否依賴其他合資格的指定非金融業人士作為中介人，代其執行客戶盡職審查措施？
Are DNFBPs who are subject to the regulation of the Bill allowed to rely on other qualified DNFBPs as intermediaries to carry out CDD measures on their behalf?
新加坡及其他海外司法管轄區亦曾試圖只以專業組織發出的指引作為參考，而未有立法履行特別組織的要求，其後卻被特別組織評為"不合作經濟體"，最終要透過修改有關法例作出補救。
Singapore and other overseas jurisdictions have also attempted to use the guidance issued by FATF for reference only . Given their failure to make legislation as requested by FATF they have subsequently been rated as an uncooperative economy by FATF . In the end they have to amend the relevant legislation as a remedy
再者，當局亦曾作出讓步，提出修正案訂明律師會的權力，包括就施行《條例》附表2的規定而向法律專業人士提供指引時，律師會擁有完全酌情權及決定指引內容的權力。
In addition the authorities have also made concessions by proposing CSAs to set out The Law Societys power including the sole discretion to determine the content of any guidance provided to legal professionals in relation to the operation of requirements in Schedule 2 to AMLO
這個安排已經非常合適，在律師業界的自我規管與特別組織的規定之間，取得應有的平衡。
This arrangement is already very appropriate for achieving the necessary balance between self - regulation of the legal sector and FATFs requirements
但是，當局考慮到委員的意見，以及為業界提供便利，當局採納了法案委員會的意見，提出容許有關安排的修正案，這是委員與當局在審議《條例草案》期間良性互動的結果，我與民主建港協進聯盟均支持上述決定。
However having regard to the views raised by members and with a view to bringing convenience to the sector the authorities have taken the views of the Bills Committee on board by proposing CSAs to facilitate such arrangements . This is an outcome of the positive interaction between members and the authorities in the deliberation of the Bill . The Democratic Alliance for the Betterment and Progress of Hong Kong DAB and I both support the decision
總的來說，在審議《條例草案》期間，當局能夠盡量採納委員的意見，令《條例草案》更加完善，這是十分可取的。
Generally speaking during the deliberation of the Bill the authorities have been able to adopt the views of members as far as practicable in order to improve the Bill . This move is highly commendable
儘管如此，當局並不可能連毫無理據的委員意見也一併採納。
Nevertheless it is impossible for the authorities to adopt those completely unfounded views of members as well
當局就有關問題作出解釋，有關《條例草案》的草擬方式，與其他適用於金錢服務經營者的現行法規涉及檢控時限的條文一致，兩者均由規管當局發現或知悉有關罪行當日起計算。
In response to the question the authorities have explained that the formulation adopted in the Bill is consistent with other existing legislation in relation to the time limit for prosecution applicable to MSOs . In both cases the time limit for prosecution runs from the date of discovery or notice of the offence by the regulatory authorities
雖然涂議員察悉政府的解釋，但他仍然提出修正案，要求採用"於犯罪後"的草擬方式訂明檢控時限。
Although Mr James TO has taken note of the Governments explanation he has still proposed a CSA to request the adoption of the formulation of after the commission of the offence in prescribing the time limit for prosecution
我不太理解涂議員的動機或考慮，不過，我及民建聯均認為，如果以"於犯罪後"的草擬方式訂明檢控時限，部分違法者可能會由於掩飾工夫做得好，使規管或執法當局較遲甚至在檢控時限完結後才發現有關違法行為，以致無法作出檢控。
I do not quite understand the motives or considerations of Mr TO . However DAB and I are of the view that if the formulation of after the commission of the offence is used to prescribe the time limit for prosecution some offenders may be able to delay the discovery of their offences by law enforcement and regulatory authorities with good cover - up skills . In this way their offenses will be discovered at a later time or even after the expiry of the time limit for prosecution rendering prosecution impossible
現在全世界也討論反恐，很多恐怖襲擊都是人神共憤。
At present counter - terrorism has been a topic of discussion around the world . All people have been indignant about the frequent occurrence of terrorist attacks
如果我們因為不願作出修訂而導致嚴重後果......
If our unwillingness to make amendments leads to serious consequences I believe that the Government must deal with any offences irrespective of the time of their discovery
所以，我認為就檢控而言，"發現派"較"發生派"為佳，我是從這個角度考慮的。
Therefore considering from this perspective I consider it preferable to have the time limit for prosecution running from the date of discovery rather than commission of the offences
因此，是否設立時限，我認為問題不大，反而為了全世界......
For this reason I do not consider it a big issue to discuss the need of a time limit
主席，我謹以《2017年稅務條例草案》委員會主席的身份，向本會提交法案委員會的報告，並匯報法案委員會工作的重點。
President in my capacity as Chairman of the Bills Committee on the Inland Revenue Amendment No . 5 Bill 2017 I would like to present the report of the Bills Committee to the Council and report on the key areas of work of the Bills Committee . The Inland Revenue Amendment No
法案委員會舉行了兩次會議，與政府討論《條例草案》。
The Bills Committee has held two meetings to discuss the Bill with the Government
法案委員會支持《條例草案》的主要建議。
It supports the major proposals in the Bill
委員察悉，加入《多邊公約》可使香港在實施經合組織要求的自動交換資料及應對侵蝕稅基及轉移利潤的措施方面，更有成效及效率。
Members of the Bills Committee have noted that the participation in the Multilateral Convention can allow Hong Kong to enhance its effectiveness and efficiency in implementing AEOI and base erosion and profit shifting BEPS initiatives required by OECD
法案委員會察悉，《多邊公約》只開放予國家簽署，而中央政府已原則上同意把《多邊公約》的適用範圍延伸至香港。
The Bills Committee has noted that the Multilateral Convention is only open for signature by state parties and the Central Peoples Government CPG has given in - principle agreement to extend the application of the Multilateral Convention to Hong Kong
政府的政策是將會在香港實施《多邊公約》的強制性條文，同時對非強制性條文作出適當的保留或聲明，令這些條文不適用於或只會局部適用於香港。
It is the Governments policy that Hong Kong will take forward the mandatory provisions of the Multilateral Convention while making suitable reservations or declarations for the optional provisions so that such provisions will not apply or will only partially apply to Hong Kong
不適用於香港的條文包括同步稅務調查、境外稅務調查及協助追討稅款。
The provisions which will not apply to Hong Kong include those on simultaneous tax examinations tax examinations abroad and assistance in recovery of taxes
在《條例草案》獲通過後，政府會請中央政府把《多邊公約》適用的地域範圍延伸至香港的聲明，以及適用於香港的保留或聲明，交予經合組織。
Upon passage of the Bill the Government will seek CPGs assistance in depositing a declaration to OECD for territorial application of the Multilateral Convention to Hong Kong together with the reservations or declarations applicable to Hong Kong
然後，政府會建議行政長官會同行政會議根據經《條例草案》修訂後的《稅務條例》第49條作出命令，藉以宣布《多邊公約》在香港具有效力。
After that the Government will recommend the Chief Executive in Council to make an order under section 491A of IRO to declare that the Multilateral Convention shall have effect in Hong Kong
該命令須經立法會以先訂立後審議的程序處理。
The order is subject to the negative vetting procedure of the Legislative Council
政府表示，《多邊公約》、全面性協定或交換協定是利便就稅務事宜進行資料交換的不同平台。
The Government has advised that the Multilateral Convention CDTAs or TIEAs are different platforms to facilitate EOI on tax matters
一般而言，稅務局將會繼續採用全面性協定或交換協定，作為與香港的雙邊稅務協定夥伴交換稅務資料的法律基礎。
In general the Inland Revenue Department will continue to use CDTAs or TIEAs as a legal basis for the exchange of tax information with Hong Kongs bilateral tax treaty partners
若相關的稅務管轄區已加入《多邊公約》但並非香港的雙邊稅務協定夥伴，便會採用《多邊公約》作為進行資料交換的工具。
The Multilateral Convention will be used as the instrument for EOI if the jurisdiction concerned is a party to the Multilateral Convention but not a bilateral tax treaty partner of Hong Kong
提出資料交換請求的稅務管轄區必須指出有關請求，是根據《多邊公約》、全面性協定或交換協定而提出，並且述明所要求的資料。
A jurisdiction when making an EOI request must identify whether the request is made in accordance with the Multilateral Convention a CDTA or TIEA and state the information requested
法案委員會關注到，將會在《多邊公約》下交換的資料的涵蓋範圍，以及政府有何措施保障交換的資料，特別是涉及個人的資料，得到保密。
The Bills Committee has expressed concerns about the scope of information to be exchanged under the Multilateral Convention and the measures to protect the confidentiality of information exchanged particularly when such information involved personal data
我們都明白，香港作為一個國際金融中心，同時稅率較低，亦只要求公司及個別人士就本地收入來源納稅，並無全球徵稅制度，資金可以自由流動，而我們鄰近的內地及其他地方的經濟體系，經濟亦有蓬勃增長，因此香港定會成為很多資金匯集之地。
We all understand that Hong Kong is an international financial centre with relatively low tax rates . As Hong Kong only requires companies and individuals to pay taxes on their local income sources and has not put in place a global taxation system there are free flows of capital . Also owing to the robust economic growth in Mainland China and other economies in our neighbourhood in recent years there has been a steady flow of capital into Hong Kong
我記得，當時傳出的消息是，最後胡錦濤主席拉着法國總理要求多給香港一次機會，香港才得以解圍，當時情況也頗為狼狽。
As far as I can remember rumour has it that eventually it was President HU Jintao who got Hong Kong out of the predicament as he asked the Prime Minister of France to give Hong Kong one more chance . The situation was rather awkward at that time
但是，沒有辦法，"形勢比人強"，我們不得不做。
But as we have no choice but succumb to the circumstances we can only follow the trend
在這10多年處理有關國際條約所加諸我們的責任或在所謂"互相驗身"的過程中，我們要做多少？
In respect of the obligations imposed on us by various international conventions or during the so - called mutual inspections to what extent should we comply?
但是，每個經濟體都有其獨特的環境。所以，如果人家要求我們做5項，我們卻做6項、7項、8項，甚至10項，只會對香港不利。
However as every economy has its own unique characteristics if we are only required to meet 5 requirements but Hong Kong meets 6 7 8 or even 10 requirements it will only be detrimental to Hong Kong
當然，從另一個角度來看，香港亦好像習主席所說，要對本身的制度自信。
Of course from another perspective as President XI said Hong Kong must have confidence in its own systems
舉例，對於打擊洗黑錢及打擊恐怖分子籌集資金方面，我們必須相信我們的現有制度是有效的，即我們並無虧欠人，並非不負責任的國際一員，故意讓不見得光的活動在香港進行。
For example in respect of combating money laundering and terrorist financing we must believe that our present regime is effective; Hong Kong is not in the wrong and it is not an irresponsible member of the international community . We do not deliberately allow shady activities to take place in Hong Kong
不過，中央內地大力反貪，我是支持的。
I support Chinas anti - corruption efforts
所以，這些罪行與其他同類型的規管性罪行，例如遲了遞交表格或遲了更改資料，應該以同一方式來處理。
Thus these offences should be dealt with in the same way as other regulatory offences of the same type eg . late submission of an application form or late updating of certain information
今次《條例草案》的修訂，特別是有關針對重要控制人的身份的披露或登記冊的安排，也是要符合國際組織的要求。
The amendments in the Bill are precisely aimed at meeting the requirements of the international organization
為維護香港國際金融中心的地位和聲譽而跟隨國際社會的步伐，我認為也是應當要做的。
As I see it staying in step with the international community to uphold Hong Kongs status and reputation as an international financial centre is what we should do
不過，我想在此表達一些意見，就是在法案委員會審議《條例草案》的過程中，我和其他委員曾提出一些意見，包括一旦我們要為符合國際社會有關打擊洗黑錢的要求而要在法規方面作出任何改變 時，或簡單來說就是令法規變得更嚴苛，我們必須小心，以免矯枉過正。
However I would like to express some views here . During the scrutiny of the Bill by the Bills Committee other members and I gave some views including that if we are to make any changes to laws and regulations or to put it simply make them more stringent to meet the international communitys requirements on combating money laundering we must be careful not to overcorrect
我希望就此清晰表達我的意見。
I hope to clearly express my view on this
另一點是關乎合規成本的。
Another point is about compliance costs
我認為這做法既穩妥，亦可確保公司不會"被殺錯"，所以我認為有必要清楚說明這一點。
In my view this is a prudent approach that can ensure that no company will be victimized . I thus consider it necessary to make this clear
代理主席，我發言支持《條例草案》的二讀，稍後還會再就《2017年打擊洗錢及恐怖分子資金籌集條例草案》發言。
Deputy President I have just spoken in support of the Second Reading of the Bill and I will speak on the Anti - Money Laundering and Counter - Terrorist Financing Amendment Bill 2017 later on
當然，我們希望在鞏固國際金融中心的地位之餘，也希望這項法例在日後實施時，政府當局不會採取矯枉過正或過分嚴苛的態度，否則可能會影響我們的營商環境。
It is surely our wish to reinforce Hong Kongs position as an international financial centre but we also hope that after the legislation comes into force the Administration will not overdo or be overly stringent as this may being adverse effects to our business environment
我知道涂謹申議員稍後會提出一項修正案，所以在聽罷修正案的內容後，我可能還會再作發言。
As I am aware Mr James TO will propose an amendment later . I may speak again after listening to the details of the amendment
正正因為大家有所謂"發生派"或"發現派"的說法，容許我也提出更多我的看法。
Since views have been expressed from the so - called commission camp or the discovery camp let me give my views as well
我不知道會否出現另一種解讀，就是在某程度上令人產生散漫的態度，即告訴違法者，其實只有3年檢控時限，過了3年便不用理會，這相對地會令人降低對有關規定的重視程度。
I do not know if that will give rise to another interpretation . To a certain extent it may make people feel relaxed . In other words it may send a message to potential law - breakers that the time limit for prosecution is only three years and they can ignore the laws after three years
其實，我的原則很簡單，我覺得打擊洗錢的法例對現時香港的聲譽，又或對香港要追上國際標準等大原則是重要的。
This will reduce the importance attached by people to the regulations . In fact I have based my arguments on very simple principles . I think the anti - money laundering laws are important to some major concerns such as Hong Kongs reputation and whether Hong Kong can keep abreast of international standards
我不是要求訂定過分嚴苛的規定，我也經常說並非要大家吹毛求疵，千萬不要這樣做。
I am not asking the Government to impose excessively stringent requirements and as I often say I am not asking Members to act fastidiously . Never do that
正如《條例草案》所訂，今次修例主要旨在打擊洗黑錢和恐怖分子資金籌集。
As specified in the Bill the purpose of this amendment exercise is mainly to combat money laundering and terrorist financing
我相信香港一定有洗黑錢的情況，問題只在於如何界定"黑錢"。
Certainly there are money laundering activities in Hong Kong and the question is how to define black money
在"習大帝"的管治下，內地政府曾有一段時間表示要大力反貪，甚至表示希望大力打擊資金外流。
Under the rule of Emperor XI the Mainland Government has at one time launched a ferocious anti - corruption campaign vowing to crack down on capital outflows
香港作為內地對外的第一個"踏腳石"，自然成為資金的出路，或將"黑錢"變成"白錢"的重要基地。
Hong Kong as the Mainlands first stepping stone to the world has naturally become the outlet of capital and also an important base where black money is turned into white money
香港已成為內地不少貪官或罔顧國家利益的國企和民企洗錢的地方。
Hong Kong has become the place for money laundering by corrupt officials or national or private enterprises which show no regard for the countrys interests
代理主席，老實說，恐怖分子方面的問題比較少，因為恐怖分子如要找地方籌集資金，選擇比較多，未必看中香港。
Deputy President frankly speaking the problems concerning terrorists are less serious . Terrorists can pick other places for raising funds and they may not necessarily choose Hong Kong
最近的大型收購例子是長實出售的中環中心。
One of the major recent transactions was the sale of The Center held by CK Asset Holdings Limited
不過，香港雖然沒有正式賭場，但完全不缺類似賭場的地方。
However although there are no official casinos in Hong Kong there is no lack of similar venues similar to a casino
香港股票交易所經過數十年的跌跌撞撞，儘管由政府作為大股東的聯交所現時表示要打擊違規交易，並且遏止不合適的炒賣活動，但交易所正是類近賭場的地方，因為股票炒賣最終會導致小投資者受害。
After decades of ups and downs the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited with the Hong Kong Government as its major shareholder has vowed to crack down on illicit trading and curb inappropriate speculative activities . However the stock exchange is very much like a casino as speculation on stocks will ultimately harm small investors
香港的地產市場同樣類似賭場，本港物業作為投資工具甚或洗黑錢工具，已經國際聞名。
The real estate market in Hong Kong is also like a casino and the whole world knows that properties in Hong Kong are used as investment tools or money laundering tools
因此，我絕對支持《條例草案》，甚至希望《條例草案》有能力打擊將香港變成洗黑錢基地的資金流入。
Therefore I absolutely support the Bill and even hope that the Bill has the power to curb capital inflows especially those from the Mainland so that Hong Kong will not be turned into a money laundering base
不過，我對於《條例草案》落實後的成效存有很大疑問。
However I have serious doubts about the effectiveness of the Bill upon its enactment
《條例草案》主要旨在打擊洗黑錢及恐怖分子集資，我對此當然同意。
The main purpose of the Bill is to combat money laundering and terrorist financing to which I strongly support
"包容"、"不執法"等字眼已經不再是出自普通人口中，貴為特首也會利用這些字眼隱瞞或包庇不執法的情況。
Such terms as forbearance and non - enforcement do not come from the mouth of ordinary people but from our honourable Chief Executive who used them to gloss over or harbour the authorities non - enforcement of the law
套用相同的道理，我們會否是在包容甚或縱容執法部門利用法定權力搜查它們視之為有機會洗黑錢的公司或團體？
By the same principles will we forbear or even condone law enforcement agencies to exercise their statutory power to search companies or organizations that they consider likely to engage in money laundering?
涂謹申議員剛才表示對於細節有些憂慮，我也是如此。
Mr James TO just said that he was somewhat worried about certain details so am I
我希望香港負責執法的公務員能夠謹守不偏不倚的宗旨，而不希望他們利用法定權力或新增權力進行政治打壓及政治審查。
I hope that the civil servants responsible for enforcing the law in Hong Kong will adhere to the principle of impartiality . I do not wish to see them use their statutory power or the newly created powers to engage in political suppression and censorship
我不反對《條例草案》的原意或初衷，即透過《條例草案》打擊洗黑錢，特別是不明來歷的資金。
I do not oppose the original intent of the Bill which is to combat money laundering especially the capital from unknown sources
我很希望香港能夠繼續擁有政治中立的制度，亦希望不斷新增的法例能令香港成為更成熟、公平、公正的社會。
I very much hope that Hong Kong can maintain a politically neutral system and that the newly enacted legislation will help Hong Kong become a more mature fair and just society
我希望政府不會利用法例或法定權力打擊處於政府對立面的人。
I hope that the Government will not use the law or statutory power to suppress dissidents . I so submit
作為專業會計師，我們支持《條例草案》所作的修訂，並支持整體加強打擊洗黑錢的活動。
As professional accountants we support the amendments made by the Bill as well as an overall strengthening of the combat against money laundering activities
我很希望公司註冊處可以提供更多例子或實行指引，說明何謂"發揮或行使重大影響力或控制"。
I very much hope that the Companies Registry can provide more examples or practice guidelines to illustrate the meaning of exercising significant influence or control
