政院不覆議

會計法修正案漏「教」字爭議的大烏龍,行政院昨天找主計總處、法務部以及行政院法規會研商,決定擴大解釋,認定職員包含教授在內,不過法界質疑,萬一法官跟檢察官認定不同,會產生更大的爭議。

對於法案,要把教授使用不符合的收據和發票,來核銷經費的除罪化,行政院長江宜樺,今天上廣播接受專訪,對會計法修法爭議,漏了「教」字,主動提出解套方案。

[[聲源:行政院長 江宜樺]]
“如果說他(教授)只是因為,發票報帳的方便,以及他原來的制度缺乏彈性,以至於誤蹈法網,這種是比較情有可原,用主計單位的函釋或解釋,如果說能夠平息,這方面的紛爭的話,其實用比較符合經濟成本,不要付出立法代價的方式”

不過在他決定出手的前一天,就找來主計總處、法務部跟行政院法規會,一起討論之後,認定大專院校的職員,包含教授在內,用擴大解釋的方法,來化解爭議。不過,法界人士認為,會引起更大爭議。


[[司改會執行長 林峰正]]
“明顯違背了法律的,所謂的文意解釋,請問一下職員跟教授,這是兩件事情,檢察官跟法官,可是不受你這個,行政解釋的拘束”

由於目前行政院不提覆議,國民黨立委蔡正元,在臉書上表示,將主動提案修法化解難題。

Government trying to bail Legislature out for its Accounting Act disaster (2013/06/06)

The Legislature passed an amendment last Friday that exempted public research grants for university professors from being audited. At least it was supposed to, but lawmakers inexplicably left out the word “professors” from the bill. The government is now trying to bail out the Legislature from its mistake, interpreting the revision as covering professors, but some legal experts doubt the move will settle the issue. 

The amendment was meant to absolve professors who used falsified receipts to claim research grants. Premier Jiang Yi-huah was asked in a radio interview this morning about the omission of “professors” from the bill, and he offered a simple solution.

Jiang Yi-huah
Premier
If professors unwittingly violate the law simply because of submitting invoices for reimbursement in a convenient way or working under an inflexible system, this is relatively excusable. If an interpretation from government accounting agencies can settle the controversy, then we should use this more economic method and not make the Legislature pay the price.

台菲共調查

我國漁船遭菲律賓海巡掃射命案,確定由兩國共同進行司法調查,互相派人到另一國蒐證,明天清晨台灣就會派出17人調查團。法務部根據初步的鑑識報告,在行前記者會上定調三大偵辦方向,包括菲律賓海巡故意殺人、我方漁船沒衝撞,也沒有入侵菲國領海。

廣大興槍擊案,確定由雙方司法機構共同緝凶。台灣調查團由外交部、法務部、刑事局、海巡以及漁業署組成。

根據台灣鑑識報告,法務部定調三大偵辦方向,包括菲國開槍並非過失而是故意殺人,事發原因排除我國漁船先衝撞才被槍擊,我國漁船根本沒入侵菲國領海

[[法務部次長 陳明堂]]
“死者所受槍傷 都是高速貫穿的子彈傷,顯然有致人於死殺人故意,廣大興28號漁船,既然沒有明顯的船舶碰撞痕跡,所以排除在案發前如外界傳言的說碰撞菲國船艦” 

至於國人最關心的緝凶究責,由於兩國並無引渡機制,就訊、蒐證沒問題,但能否將嫌犯帶回台灣受審,得打上問號。

17-person team from Taiwan to visit Philippines to gather evidence (2013/05/15)

Taiwan will send a 17-person team to the Philippines to carry out a joint investigation into the recent shooting death of the fisherman. Based on preliminary forensic investigation, the Taiwan Ministry of Justice believes it is a case of intentional homicide. It says the Taiwanese fishing boat was not involved in a collision and did not cross territorial waters. 

The investigation into shots fired at the Huang Ta Hsing fishing boat will include bilateral cooperation between legal authorities in Taiwan and the Philippines. A fact-finding delegation travelling to the Philippines will include individuals from Taiwan’s Foreign Ministry, Justice Ministry, Criminal Investigation Bureau, Coast Guard and Fisheries Agency.

Based on initial forensic reports, the Justice Ministry has made three initial conclusions in the investigation.

It believes the shooting was homicide and not negligence, it has ruled out the Taiwanese fishing boat ramming into the Philippine ship, and it says the Taiwanese fishing boat did not enter Philippine territorial waters.

美菲關係好

這次台灣船員遭菲律賓公務船射殺,很多人關心,美國會在背後扮演什麼樣的角色?其實二戰結束至今,六十多年來,菲律賓堪稱是美國在亞太地區,最堅定的盟友,雙方軍事交流頻繁。隨著歐巴馬政權喊出"重返亞太"的口號,菲律賓的重要性更是不言而喻。

[[美國務院新聞發言人 范特瑞爾]] 
“美方樂見菲國政府承諾,就事件進行全面且透明的調查,並與台灣當局合作瞭解事件真相”

廣大興28號漁民,遭菲律賓公務船開槍射殺,美國出面呼籲雙方理性自制,不介入南海主權爭議。但翻開歷史,美、菲的淵源相當深厚。

1946年菲律賓獨立至今,雙方軍事合作頻繁。除了每年有好幾項聯合軍演外,雙方在1952年簽下共同防禦條約,至今依然有效。另外美國在菲律賓設立空、海軍基地,超過40年,1992年雖全面撤離,但從美國總統歐巴馬喊出重返亞洲之後, 2011起美國大幅提升每年輪調到菲律賓的軍力。

[[美國國安顧問 唐尼倫(2012)]]
“他決定連任後旋即出訪亞洲,代表這個區域對他的重要性,這是國安利益的重心所在

隨著中國崛起,加強掌控釣魚台和南海等爭議海域,美國也積極佈局亞太,菲律賓當然是其中不可或缺的一環。

 

US avoids taking a stance in Taiwan-Philippines dispute (2013/05/15)

The United States is a close ally of both Taiwan and the Philippines. As tension between the two Asian nations ratchets up it is urging calm. But the US refuses to condemn Manila after a Philippines government vessel opened fire on an unarmed Taiwanese fishing boat. 

Patrick Ventrell
US State Department Spokesman 
We welcome the Philippines government’s pledge to conduct a full and transparent investigation into the incident and to work with the Taiwan authorities to establish what transpired.

Shots fired from a Philippine government vessel at the Kuang Ta Hsing fishing boat killed one fisherman. The United States called upon both sides to exercise restraint and avoid a South China Sea sovereignty dispute. A look at history reveals the United States and the Philippines enjoy a long and deep relationship.
