The Government commenced a comprehensive review of the COIAO and completed the first round of public consultation in 2009. The first round consultation confirms general support for retaining the COIAO regulatory regime, strengthening of publicity and public education programmes and imposition of heavier penalties for breaches to enhance the deterrent effect of the Ordinance. On 16 April 2012, the Government launched the second round public consultation on the review of the COIAO. We wish to hear from the community on the outstanding issues, particularly on how to reform the institutional set-up of the Obscene Articles Tribunal and the extent to which the maximum penalties under the current regime should be raised. Please spend some time to read our consultation document and send us your views on or before 15 July 2012 through any of the following means – Post: Commerce and Economic Development Bureau
