公司註冊處前處長指查冊新限制影響香港金融中心聲譽
Former Registrar of Companies Gordon William Ewing Jones wrote in Ming Pao that the Government’s proposal to restrict company searches was submitted directly to the Legislative Council without public consultation. If implemented, the new rules would weaken the core accountability system, transparency principles and corporate governance standards of Hong Kong’s business community, affecting the image and reputation of Hong Kong as an international business and financial centre. Gordon William Ewing Jones recommended that the Government reconsider the proposal.
公司註冊處前處長鍾悟思在《明報》撰文，指政府提出限制查冊的建議未經公眾諮詢就直接提交立法會。若實施新規定，將削弱香港商界的核心問責制、透明原則以及公司治理標準，影響香港作為國際商業和金融中心的形象及聲譽，建議政府重新考慮。
