摘　　要：香港环保署刑事检控制度在环境执法中扮演着重要的角色。在人员配备上,其由具有专业性和独立性的中央检控组负责,不受调查组的影响;在检控决定或复核作出过程中,检控人员对证据、公众利益进行充分的考虑与衡量,使得环境执法更具备实效性;在执法方式上,对部分轻微的环境违法行为课以定额罚款,使得环境执法更具灵活性。在深入推进生态文明体制改革的时代背景下,香港环保署刑事检控制度可为我国的环境执法体制改革提供一些借鉴,如提高环境执法机构的独立性,拓宽比例原则的内涵以实现公共利益的合理衡量,创新环境执法方式,实现灵活执法。The criminal prosecution of the Environmental Protection Department plays an important role in environmental law enforcement in HongKong.In terms of staffing,the central prosecution unit is responsible for its professionalism and independence and is not subject to the investigation unit;In the process of making a prosecution decision or review,the prosecutor considers and weighs the evidence and the public interest sufficiently to make environmental law enforcement more effective;In the way of law enforcement,fixed penalty is imposed on some minor environmental violations,making environmental law enforcement more flexible.Under the background of deepening ecological system reform,the criminal prosecution of the Environmental Protection Department in HongKong can provide some reference for China's environmental law enforcement system reform,such as improving the independence of environmental law enforcement agencies,broadening the connotation of the proportion principle to achieve reasonable measurement of public interests,innovating environmental law enforcement methods,and achieving flexible law enforcement.
