我理解議員的關心和建議，是希望有更多車輛能符合相關條件，從而令更多車主轉用電動車，但我必須指出，政府推出"一換一"計劃，是在不增加整體私家車車輛數目的大前提下，提供誘因讓現時的私家車車主在有需要換車時，選擇電動車。
I appreciate Members concern and understand that a lower threshold would enable more vehicles to meet the criteria and more owners to switch to EVs . However I have to point out that the Scheme is to provide incentive to existing PC owners to go for EVs when they need to replace their old PC on the premise that such replacements would not increase the overall number of PCs
在"一換一"計劃中舊私家車必須是6年車齡或以上、登記車主擁有舊私家車3年或以上及舊私家車取消登記前的24個月期間內須有20個月領有有效車輛牌照等條件，目的是要防止計劃推出後，會刺激大量舊車由外地進口以參與計劃，或有人從二手市場搜集舊車用作圖利，又或刺激現時並未擁有私家車的人士，在市場上購入舊私家車，然後參與"一換一"計劃。
Under the Scheme the old PC must have been first registered in Hong Kong for six years or more the car owner must have been the registered owner of the old PC for three years or more and the old PC must have been licensed for at least 20 months within the 24 months immediately before its de - registration . The threshold is to prevent a surge in the import of old vehicles following the launch of the Scheme and to stop people from taking profit from the Scheme by accumulating old vehicles in the local second - hand market . The restriction also seeks to prevent people who do not own a PC from buying one in the market in order to join the Scheme
正如我在開場發言時表示，發展潔淨能源車輛是全球大趨勢。
As I have said in the opening remark the development of clean energy vehicles CEVs has become a global trend
運輸署預計，在計劃於2021年3月31日完結前，能同時符合上述兩項條件的私家車數目將可達約43萬輛，即約等於整體登記私家車數目的四分之三。
TD anticipates that by the time the Scheme ends on 31 March 2021 the number of PCs meeting the above two criteria will increase to about 430 000 which is about three - quarters of the total number of registered PCs
以潔淨能源車輛取代燃油車輛，以改善空氣質素，亦是政府的長遠目標。
It is also the Governments long - term objective to replace fuel - engined vehicles with CEVs such as EVs to improve air quality
政府完全認同充電設施配套是推動電動車不可或缺的一環，但正如我在開場發言所說，政府一向的政策是電動車車主應在其辦公地方或居所等適當場地為其車輛充電，以應付每天行程。
The Government fully agree that the provision of ancillary charging facilities is essential in the promotion of the use of EVs . However as I have said in the opening remark it has always been the Governments policy that e - PC owners should perform their daily e - PC charging to sustain a whole days journey by using charging facilities at their home workplace or other suitable places
政府在2011年制訂相關基礎條件的政策目的，是要避免因樓宇基建限制而不能在將來安裝電動車充電裝置。
The conditions for the provision of EV charging - enabling infrastructure were drawn up in 2011 to make sure that the future installation of EV chargers would not be hindered by any infrastructure constraint
當時在制訂基礎條件時，電動車還在初期發展階段，電動車充電器和相關裝置仍未有主流標準，所以政府當時沒有要求在備有基礎條件的車位安裝充電器及接 駁電錶供電。
At that time EVs were still at the development stage and mainstream standards for EV chargers and related installations were not established yet . Hence installation of chargers with electricity meter connection at parking spaces with EV charging - enabling infrastructure has not been a requirement
在現有樓宇方面，香港現時要在現有樓宇裝設充電設施是有一定限制，特別是香港的住宅樓宇以多層大廈為主，現有樓宇未必有足夠電力或空間裝設電動車充電設施。
Retrofitting existing buildings with EV charging facilities however may be restricted by insufficient power supply capacity or space especially as residential developments in Hong Kong are mostly multi - storey buildings
環保署就這方面設立了一支專責隊伍和服務熱線，提供電動車充電設施的資訊及技術支援。
In this respect EPD has established a dedicated team and a hotline to provide information and technical support on the installation of EV charging facilities
陳克勤議員特別關心電動車，早前他提到對電動公共巴士的關注，並引述了一些數據。
Mr CHAN Hak - kan is particularly concerned about electric vehicles . He expressed his concern about electric public buses earlier and quoted some figures
今年政府在改善空氣質素、減廢回收、應對氣候變化、能源和生態保育等方面，均有多項新措施，體現政府對環境的重視。
This year the Government has put forward many new policies on improving air quality waste reduction and recycling coping with climate change and energy and nature conservation . This shows the importance that the Government has attached on the environment
議員要增加互動、協作、創新，探討如何在能源供應、用電、交通運輸、減廢等幾方面，進一步令香港加強減碳，同時制訂長遠減碳政策。
Members would like to enhance interaction collaboration and innovation and explore how to enable Hong Kong to further reduce carbon emissions and formulate long - term policies on reducing carbon emissions in the areas of energy supply electricity usage transport and waste reduction etc
就議員的意見，我會作重點回應。
Regarding the views expressed by Members I will respond on the main points as follows
不僅關乎香港堆填區壓力，亦是減廢減碳，剛才提到"山竹"事件後，大家應更關注如何能加快香港減廢減碳的進程。
The work relates to the pressure on landfills in Hong Kong and it also concerns reduction of waste and carbon emissions . After the incident of Typhoon Mangkhut which I mentioned earlier we should be more concerned about how to expedite the progress of waste reduction in Hong Kong
觀乎亞洲其他先進城市，如南韓首爾、台北，比香港早20年落實垃圾按量收費，減費成效甚大。
As for other advanced cities in Asia eg . Seoul in South Korea and Taipei they introduced quantity - based waste charging 20 years earlier than Hong Kong and achieved significant results in waste reduction
我們推動垃圾收費有整全策略，以教育先行、社區支援，有外展協助和執法作後盾，數方面有序、有層次地推展。
These measures will be implemented together with waste charging in a two - pronged approach . We have a comprehensive strategy in promoting waste charging . We attach priority to education supplement it with community support and outreach assistance and have law enforcement as backup
在有關垃圾徵費的法案獲通過後，根據與民共議的結果，會有12至18個月準備期讓市民大眾逐步適應。
These areas of work will be conducted in an orderly and structured way . After the passage of the bill on waste charging we will give the public a preparatory period of 12 to 18 months depending on the results of the public engagement exercise to gradually adapt to the changes
今年施政報告亦加強相關工作，一方面會研究外地做法，並因應本地情況，研究如何長遠落實相關法規，禁制或取代某些用品。
In the Policy Address this year the Government has plans to strengthen the relevant work . After studying overseas practices and considering our local circumstances the Government will explore how the relevant legislation will be implemented in the long term to ban or replace the use of certain items
政府亦加強保育，過去數年香港整體郊野公園面積有所增加，在未來數年會規劃香港第二十五個郊野公園，地點在紅花嶺、面積接近500公頃。
The Government will also strengthen its conservation efforts . In the past few years the total area of country parks in Hong Kong has increased; in the next few years we will plan to designate the 25 country park at Robins Nest with a size of nearly 500 hectares
主席，我們會繼續致力推動保護環境的工作，期望各位議員一起同行，任何人都需要減碳減廢，一起"揼少啲、慳多啲、咪做大嘥鬼"。
President we will continue to do our best in promoting environmental work and I hope that all Members will walk with us . Everyone should reduce waste and carbon emissions . Dump less save more!
政府十分關注氣候變化帶來的影響，並採取多方面措施，減少本地溫室氣體排放。
The Government is very concerned about the impacts brought by climate change and has adopted various measures to reduce local emission of greenhouse gases
我們認為議員就《條例草案》提出的多項修正案需要大量時間，沒有甚麼正面意義，談不上成果。
We are of the view that the long hours that have to be spent on the numerous amendments proposed by Members are meaningless and could hardly be regarded as fruitful
主席，議會目前審議的是16位議員就《2020年撥款條例草案》的42個總目提出的52項修正案。
Chairman the Council is now considering the 52 amendments proposed by 16 Members to 42 heads in the Appropriation Bill 2020 the Bill
事實上，我們認為這些修正案不能提供合理和真正可供選擇的方案，無助於全體委員會審議《條例草案》。
In fact we believe that these amendments are not conducive to the scrutiny of the Bill by the committee of the whole Council as they do not provide any justified and viable options
特區政府強烈反對這些修正案，並呼籲議員否決這些建議。
The Government strongly opposes these amendments and urge Members to negative them
主席，我們尊重議員詳細審議《條例草案》的權利，亦明白這是他們的責任，但我們希望議員在履行職責時，可以兼顧議會的運作效 率，以及香港的整體利益。
Chairman we respect Members right to consider the Bill prudently and understand that it is their duty to do so . However we hope Members can take into account the efficiency of the Council and the overall interests of Hong Kong in discharging their duty
《條例草案》關乎特區政府向全港市民提供各項公共服務的開支，涉及重大經濟和民生事宜，不但關係政府的運作、醫療、教育、民生等公共服務，更會影響全港各階層的福祉，所以，我懇請各位議員否決所有修正案，盡早通過《條例草案》，令預算案各項措施可以早日落實，市民能夠及早受惠。
It has a bearing on major economic and livelihood issues including public services such as government operation health care education and peoples livelihood . What is more the well - being of every sector of Hong Kong is also at stake . Therefore I implore Members to negative all the amendments and pass the Bill as soon as possible so that various measures in the Budget can be implemented expeditiously so that the people can benefit early
在這個主題之下，財政司司長提出合共1,200億元的逆周期措施，以善用儲備，支援企業和紓解民困，應對目前嚴峻的經濟挑戰，幫助香港渡過難關。

代理主席，多謝各位議員就施政報告中的環境及自然保育政策提出意見。
Deputy President I am grateful to Members for putting forward their views on the environmental and nature conservation policies in the Policy Address
當中，都市固體廢物收費，簡稱"垃圾收費"，是推動減廢的"火車頭"，同時亦有利相關行業的可持續發展和創造綠色就業。
In particular municipal solid waste charging or MSW charging in short which is the main driving force behind waste reduction will also facilitate the sustainable development of related industries and the creation of green job opportunities
行政長官在施政報告宣布香港力爭於2050年前實現碳中和，亦會在今年年中更新《香港氣候行動藍圖》，定下更進取的減碳策略和措施，包括探索零碳能源和減碳技術、提高新舊樓宇的能源效益、推動綠色運輸，以及建設具規模的轉廢為能設施等。
In the Policy Address the Chief Executive announced that Hong Kong would strive to achieve carbon neutrality before 2050 and that the Hong Kongs Climate Action Plan would be updated in the middle of this year to set out more proactive strategies and measures on decarbonization which include exploring zero - carbon energy and decarbonization technology enhancing the energy efficiency of both new and old buildings promoting green transportation building large - scale waste - to - energy facilities and so on . Meanwhile the Government supports decarbonization through innovation
這抗疫的輔助工具已有效試用於公私營屋邨，例如彩雲二邨、坪石邨及麗晶花園等。
This ancillary anti - epidemic tool has been effectively tested in public and private housing estates such as Choi Wan II Estate Ping Shek Estate Richland Gardens etc
在檢測能力方面，我們透過渠務署、香港大學等，已把相關的檢測能力在短時間內增加1倍。
In respect of the testing capacity we have through the Drainage Services Department HKU etc doubled the testing capacity within a short time
這正如林健鋒議員所說，是在多方面創造就業機會，包括環保相關範疇。
This is an initiative to as Mr Jeffrey LAM has said create job opportunities on various fronts which include areas relating to environmental protection
結語 同心抗疫，不忘環保，同時創造就業機會，促進循環經濟，推動綠色復蘇。
Conclusion As we fight the epidemic with one mind let us not lose sight of environmental protection which can at the same time create job opportunities to facilitate a circular economy and promote green recovery
多謝代理主席，我謹此陳辭，並呼籲議員支持致謝議案。
Thank you Deputy President . With these remarks I appeal to Members to support the Motion of Thanks
《汞管制條例》是不會禁止管有和使用有關汞的產品，市民不會因為管有或使用這些添汞產品而觸犯《汞管制條例》。
Possession and use of mercury - added products are not prohibited under MCO and members of the public will not contravene MCO because they possess or use mercury - added products
回應者普遍支持政府引入新法例，與國際做法接軌。
Respondents generally supported the Governments proposal to introduce a new piece of legislation to align with the international practices
我們亦分別在2019年7月及2021年1月諮詢環境諮詢委員會和立法會環境事務委員會，委員會支持政府的建議，引入新法例以確保香港履行《公約》所訂責任。
We also consulted the Advisory Council and the Panel on Environmental Affairs of the Legislative Council respectively in July 2019 and January 2021 and both of them supported the Governments proposal to introduce new legislation to ensure Hong Kongs compliance with the obligations under the Convention
另外，現在市場上已有充足的無汞替代品可供選擇，因此對市民的影響極微。
Besides it will only have minimal impact on the public since there are already plenty of mercury - free alternatives available in the market for people to choose from
《條例草案》可以確保香港特區全面履行《公約》的國際責任，並保障市民健康和環境免受人為排放和釋放的汞及汞化合物所危害。
The Bill will help ensure Hong Kongs full compliance with the obligations under the Convention while protecting peoples health and the environment against hazards from anthropogenic emissions and releases of mercury and its compounds
中央人民政府根據《基本法》第一百五十三條，在徵詢香港特區的意見後，決定《公約》同樣適用於香港特區。
Pursuant to Article 153 of the Basic Law the Central Peoples Government sought the views of the Government of HKSAR and decided that the Convention would apply to HKSAR
為了更有效阻嚇瀕危物種的非法貿易，政府曾在2018年修訂了《條例》，大幅提高相關刑罰。
In order to deter illegal trading of endangered species more effectively the Government amended PESAPO in 2018 to significantly increase the penalties of offences
此外，成功檢控案件的最高判刑罰款亦由以往約10萬元大幅提高至約30萬元。
Besides the maximum fine for successful prosecution has also been significantly increased from about 100,000 in the past to about 300,000
最後，歸根究底，就保護瀕危物種而言，阻止非法捕獵及非法採收瀕危物種，才是最有效從根源解決問題的方法。
Lastly fundamentally speaking in order to protect endangered species the most effective way to address the problem at root is to stop illegal hunting and harvesting of endangered species
代理主席，政府歡迎有關修訂，亦再次對葛珮帆議員表達我們的謝意，我謹此陳辭。
Deputy President the Government welcomes the amendment and here again I express our thanks to Ms Elizabeth QUAT . I so submit
政府認同葛議員提出的修訂可以賦予執法人員更多執法權力，應對與瀕危物種非法貿易有關的有組織及嚴重罪行；有關修訂亦可以增加對違法人士的阻嚇力。
The Government concurs that the amendment proposed by Ms QUAT can confer more enforcement power to law enforcement officers to deal with organized and serious crimes in relation to illegal trading of endangered species . The amendment will also increase the deterrent effect on offenders
在規管瀕危物種貿易方面，特區政府一直致力遵守《瀕危野生動植物種國際貿易公約》，並因應公約的最新要求，不時更新本地法例《條例》，以在香港實施公約最新的管制。
In regulating the trade of endangered species the SAR Government is committed to complying with the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora CITES and updating in accordance with the latest CITES requirements PESAPO from time to time to implement the latest CITES controls in Hong Kong
多謝，我亦希望議員支持相關的條例草案。

所以為了我們共同的未來，希望大家齊心合力，推動垃圾收費。
So for our common future I hope everyone will work together to promote waste charging
而政府的減廢政策，不單是收費，亦有多方面的政策，包括鼓勵和其他措施，多管齊下，推動減廢又減碳。
The Governments waste reduction policy is not only about charging . We adopt a wide range of policies including incentives and other measures to promote waste reduction and carbon reduction through a multi - pronged approach
我們主要會對違例個案發出警告，但針對性質及程度嚴重的違例行為，例如違例者在獲發警告後仍屢次違法，我們會採取執法行動。
We will mainly issue warnings to non - compliant cases but enforcement actions would be taken in case the nature and magnitude of the offence calls for enforcement . A case in point is that the offender repeatedly contravenes the law despite warnings given
基於在2012年完成的公眾諮詢中所得到的廣泛支持，我們確立引入都市固體廢物收費制度的方向，並以此作為我們減廢政策的重要工具。
Given the extensive support received from the public consultation completed in 2012 we have established the direction of introducing municipal solid waste MSW charging as an important tool in our waste reduction policy
此外，環保署會設立熱線，解答市民的查詢及接收違例投訴及舉報。
In addition a hotline would be set up by EPD to answer enquiries and to accept complaints and reports on non - compliance
結語 主席，垃圾收費經過多年醞釀和反覆討論，我衷心希望今日可以與各位議員一同見證《條例草案》獲得通過，標誌我們廢物管理工作的新里程。
Concluding remarks President after years of deliberations and repeated discussions on MSW charging I sincerely hope that today we can witness with Members the passage of the Bill which marks a new milestone in our waste management
低碳轉型，是全球大勢所趨。
Low - carbon transformation is a global trend
減廢減碳，人人有責，需要社會各界持續和長期的支持和參與。
Everyone has a part to play in waste and carbon reduction and it requires the continuous and long - term support and participation of all social sectors
我懇請議員支持及通過《條例草案》及各項稍後提出的政府修正案。
I urge Members to support and pass the Bill and the various amendments to be moved by the Government later
"按袋"收費適用於大部分住宅樓宇、村屋、地鋪和公共機構處所等。
Charging by designated garbage bags is applicable to most residential buildings village houses street - level shops institutional premises and so on
市民在棄置垃圾前必須用指定垃圾袋包妥或貼上指定標籤。
Members of the public are required to wrap their waste properly in a designated garbage bag or affix a designated label to it before disposing of it
"按重"收費主要適用於工商業處所棄置的廢物，而按重量計算的"入閘費"會在廢物轉運站及堆填區收取。
Charging by weight is mainly applicable to waste generated from commercial and industrial premises . A weight - based gate - fee will be charged at refuse transfer stations and landfills
政府現時的計劃已經照顧到貧困戶的經濟壓力，當收費實行後綜援戶每人每月會有10元的資助，大致可以彌補收費的支出。
The Governments existing scheme has already taken into account the financial pressure of the poor households and when the charge is implemented each CSSA household will receive a monthly subsidy of 10 which can roughly cover the charge
在廚餘回收方面，政府已經開始推展廚餘回收先導計劃，按照擴大下游廚餘回收設施的進度，陸續為不同機構場所安排免費收集廚餘，以及運送廚餘至有關回收設施轉廢為能或轉廢為材。
As for food waste collection the Government has launched the Pilot Scheme on Food Waste Collection and arranged free collection and delivery of food waste to the recycling facilities for turning waste into energy or resources progressively for various organizations and premises according to the progress of the expansion of downstream food waste recycling facilities
因應法案委員會提出的意見，政府會在實施垃圾收費後，陸續安排免費收集餐飲業界妥善分類出來的廚餘，再運送至廚餘回收設施。
In response to the views raised by the Bills Committee the Government will arrange free collection and delivery of food waste properly separated from the catering trade to food waste recycling facilities progressively upon the implementation of MSW charging
我們明白議員和市民大眾關注落實垃圾收費的準備工作。
We understand the concerns of Members and the general public regarding the preparatory work for MSW charging
現時，社區回收網絡"綠在區區"包括9間"回收環保站"、22間全新形象的"回收便利點"及超過100個定時定點的"回收流動點"，服務範圍已擴展至全港18區。
These days GREEN@COMMUNITY a community recycling network comprises nine Recycling Stations 22 Recycling Stores with brand new image and more than 100 Recycling Spots operating at fixed locations and time schedules has its scope of service extended to the 18 districts of Hong Kong
在檢視過社區回收網絡的實際表現和成效，以及地區對回收設施的整體需求後，我們已計劃再增加10個"回收便利點"，進一步加強社區回收配套設施，預期年底前會陸續投入服務。
After reviewing the actual performance and effectiveness of the community recycling network and the overall demand for recycling facilities in the districts we have planned to add 10 more Recycling Stores which are expected to be put into service by the end of the year to further strengthen the ancillary facilities for community recycling
這將配合我剛才提及的"綠在區區"社區回收網絡完善收集服務，加強整體效益，並培育本地下游回收再造處理能力，令其扎根茁壯，以支持服務將可進一步覆蓋全港。
This will complement the GREEN@COMMUNITY community recycling network that I mentioned earlier to improve the collection service enhance the overall effectiveness and nurture the local downstream recycling capacity so that it can take root and grow to support the service to further cover the whole territory
60部入樽機現已全面投入服務，至今已收集約600萬個膠樽。
Sixty reverse vending machines are now in full service and have collected about 6 million plastic bottles so far
在公眾教育和宣傳方面，環保署於2020年年中開展"減廢回收2.0"宣傳運動，鼓勵市民配合綠色復蘇及循環經濟，實踐惜物減廢的綠色生活。
In terms of public education and publicity EPD launched the Reduce and Recycle 2.0 Campaign in mid - 2020 to encourage the public to go green and Use Less Waste Less in support of a green recovery and circular economy
與此同時，環保署於2018年成立的"綠展隊"亦已逐步走入社區提供外展服務，在社區層面長期且恆常地教育公眾源頭減廢的重要，並協助公眾實踐妥善廢物源頭分類及回收，以及向社區傳遞最新的廢物管理信息，為未來實施垃圾收費作好準備。
At the same time the Green Outreach established by EPD in 2018 has gradually reached out to the community to provide outreaching service educate the public on the importance of waste reduction at source on a long - term and regular basis at the community level assist the public in practising proper source separation of waste and recycling and convey to the community the latest information on waste management thus making proper preparation for implementing MSW charging in the future
另外，為鼓勵減廢回收和讓社會各界及早為實施垃圾收費作好準備，環保署夥拍約20個相關部門及機構在多個界別，包括公共屋邨、鄉郊、商場、餐飲業界及政府處所等展開有關垃圾收費的實踐計劃，讓參加者試用模擬指定垃圾袋，並親身體驗按量收費的安排。
In addition to encourage waste reduction and recycling and enable the community to prepare early for the implementation of MSW charging EPD has partnered with some 20 relevant departments and organizations to launch MSW charging trial projects in different sectors including public rental housing estates rural areas shopping malls catering trades and government premises so as to allow participants to try out mock designated garbage bags and get first - hand experience of the quantity - based charging arrangements
我們也會與不同業界商討和製備良好作業指引供他們參考。
We will also discuss with different sectors and compile best practice guides for their reference
為便利不同持份者有效掌握垃圾收費的資料和相關的社區回收支援資訊，我們會製作簡便的"資訊工具包"。
To enable different stakeholders to effectively grasp the basic information on MSW charging and related information on community recycling support we will produce handy information toolkits
環境局留意到現有的油站用地可以滿足車用燃油的市場需求。
The Environment Bureau notes that the existing PFS sites can meet the market demand for auto - fuel
預留土地作新的油站須建基於有關地區的預期發展及所有相關因素，包括土地用途之間的協調、交通、環境及消防安全等。
Site reservation for new PFS would have to be justified by the anticipated growth of an area and all relevant factors including land use compatibility traffic environmental and fire safety
原有的3個主要營辦商的油站數目份額由超過90%降至約70%。
The share of the three biggest operators in terms of the number of PFS has dropped from over 90 % to about 70 %
我們同意競委會有關進一步加強油價資訊透明度予消費者的建議。
We agree to the Commissions recommendation to further increase the transparency of fuel price information to consumers
我們會與相關政府部門及油公司商討，是否可以及如何在即將重新招標的油站用地的租契條款內列明更清楚展示牌價及折扣的要求。
We will discuss with the relevant government departments and the oil companies whether and how we may specify in the lease conditions the requirement to display pump prices and discounts prominently at the PFS due to be re - tendered
我們必須要審慎考慮這些建議的利弊及可行性，才決定是否進行詳細研究。
We will need to carefully consider the pros and cons as well as the tenability of the suggestions before determining whether we will undertake any detailed study
二 《競爭條例》制定前經過廣泛公眾諮詢，立法會也曾詳細討論，政府在平衡各方考慮後訂定 目前的條文，並獲立法會通過，《條例》清楚訂明競委會的權力和職能。
2 There had been extensive public consultation and thorough discussions at Legislative Council before the enactment of the Competition Ordinance Cap . 619 . The existing provisions of the Ordinance were drawn up by the Government having balanced different considerations and were passed by the Legislative Council
政府的政策是盡量締造一個減低門檻的環境，讓更多供應商、油公司進入本港市場，我想這是政府參與的原因。
The Governments policy is to foster an environment for lowering the threshold by all means to allow more suppliers and oil companies to enter the Hong Kong market . I believe this is also the reason for the Governments engagement
政府也不會理會營辦者的背景，只希望增加供應商的數目。
The Government only hopes to increase the number of suppliers without paying any attention to the background of the operators
客觀來看，香港已可以與鄰近亞洲城市比較。
From an objective point of view Hong Kong can already compare with its neighbouring Asian cities
當然，我們明白，位於新界並按《建築物條例條例》獲得豁免，可以繼續保留這些設施，或在日後隨時進行建築工程，加建符合相關條件的小型環保和適意設施，包括太陽能發熱器及太陽能發電等設施，無須經由地政總署或屋宇署批准的。
Of course we understand that some specified green and amenity facilities whether they currently exist in village houses or to be installed in such houses in compliance with the relevant terms and conditions in future including solar energy heater or solar energy equipment can be allowed to stay or be installed at any time in future without seeking the permission from the Lands Department or BD provided that the village house is a NTEH exempted under the Buildings Ordinance Ordinance
主席，簡單的答覆是，現時的優惠是每產生一度電，就節省一度電，就是那麼簡單。
President the simple answer is that under the present concession for every unit of electricity generated these users can have the tariff of a unit of electricity reduced . It is just that simple
