Film censorship fees to be revised
The Film Censorship (Amendment) (No 2) Regulation which seeks to revise the fees payable under the main regulations to achieve full cost recovery was published in the Gazette today (Friday).
"A review of the fees payable under the Film Censorship Regulations has been conducted recently," said a spokesman from the Recreation and Culture Branch.
"The review concluded that while the fees for the censorship of a still film and the issue of a replacement certificate are still adequate to cover the full costs, the censorship fee for a film other than a still film needs to be increased by 5.9 per cent, and the fees for the exemption of films and the approval of Category III videotape/ laserdiscs packaging need to be increased by about nine per cent in order to recover the full costs of the services provided," the spokesman said.
The amendment regulation will be tabled in the Legislative Council on October 11 and come into effect on November 9.
