The second Resolution seeks approval for the Government to borrow for the purposes of the Capital Works Reserve Fund CWRF a maximum amount of HK200 billion or equivalent that may be outstanding by way of principal under the Government Green Bond Programme GGBP
此外，新申請獲豁免的計劃必須屬已獲香港以外地方主管當局註冊或批准的離岸計劃，而該主管當局執行的職能大致上類似處長的職能。
Moreover new application for an exempted scheme should be an offshore scheme registered or approved by a regulatory authority outside Hong Kong performing functions which are generally analogous to those of the Registrar
主席，我謹動議二讀《2019年職業退休計劃條例草案》。
President I move the Second Reading of the Occupational Retirement Schemes Amendment Bill 2019 the Bill
在持續監管要求方面，我們亦建議規定所有職業退休計劃的僱主向處長提交周年聲明，確認符合建基於實質僱傭關係的原則。
Regarding ongoing regulatory requirements we propose that employers are required to submit to the Registrar an annual statement confirming compliance with the actual employment - based criterion
職業退休計劃，顧名思義，應該是僱主為其僱員設立的計劃，向僱員提供在終止服務或退休時支付的利益，或就僱員在死亡時支付的利益。
As the name implies ORSO schemes are schemes set up by employers for employees to provide benefits payable on termination of service death or retirement or in respect of persons in any employment
我剛才已從具體和概念的4點，包括追加款項絕大部分已獲財委會批准；第二，部門用得其所，所以有盈餘；第三，有季度報告交予立法會及財委會；及第四，獨立審計，回應議員的意見。
I have made four points on the specific details and the concepts involved including first a large part of the supplementary appropriation has been approved by the Finance Committee; second government departments have used public funds properly as some of them have surpluses; third the Government has submitted quarterly reports to the Legislative Council and the Finance Committee; and fourth the accounts of the Government is independently audited . That is my response to the views of Members
第一，具體來說，大家多次提及300多億元追加撥款，從數字上看，當中的200億元是已獲財務委員會批准的創新及科技基金注資，以及30多億元屬薪酬調整。
First specifically Members have repeatedly mentioned the supplementary appropriation of over 30 billion . Among the sum 20 billion will be injected into the Innovation and Technology Fund which has been approved by the Finance Committee; and over 3 billion is for pay adjustment
兩點具體的回應以外，在概念上牽涉程序、公共政策、公共財政管理哲學方面的，我想提出一點，是我們就《追加撥款條例草案》提交的文件內列出的項目，政府已根據法例的規定，每季定時就當中的項目向立法會及財委會報告，並列明詳情。
Apart from responding to these two specific points I would like to make one point concerning the concepts of procedures public policy and the philosophy of public finance management . The items listed in the paper on the Supplementary Appropriation 2018 - 2019 Bill have been reported in detail to the Legislative Council and the Finance Committee on a quarterly basis by the Government according to the statutory requirements
在眼前，我們雖然看到挑戰，更加看見機遇。
Notwithstanding the challenges we see opportunities ahead
在這方面，我們主要有4項措施。
In this regard we have four main initiatives
第一，我們會繼續發展香港成為更深更廣的融資市場，同時加強與內地金融市場的互聯互通。
First we will continue to develop Hong Kong into a broader and deeper financing market while strengthening the mutual access between the Mainland and Hong Kong financial markets
我們亦將進一步推動設立無紙證券市場制度的工作，將科技應用於金融基建，使我們的金融市場基建更趨完善及現代化。
We will also foster the establishment of an Uncertificated Securities Market regime and apply technology to financial infrastructure so as to enhance and modernize our financial market infrastructure
多謝各位立法會議員的支持，我們先後在2018年7月及去年8月引入開放式基金型公司及有限合夥基金制度，以吸引不同類型的基金在香港成立和營運。有限合夥基金制度生效以來，短短數個月已有超過60個基金成立。
Thanks to the support of Legislative Council Members we introduced the open - ended fund company and limited partnership fund regimes in July 2018 and August 2020 respectively
我們今年的金融工作重點分3個範疇，分別是維持金融穩定、大力發展市場及緩減經濟衝擊。
This year we will focus on three key areas of work namely maintaining financial stability vigorously promoting market development and mitigating economic impact
然而，有賴於我們嚴謹的風險管理措施，本港金融系統依然堅韌穩健，聯繫匯率制度及各個環節運作良好。
Nevertheless thanks to our stringent risk management measures our financial system remains robust and resilient . The linked exchange rate system and different facets have been operating smoothly
在失業救濟的恆常工作方面，勞工及福利局一直採用多管齊下的策略以協助失業人士走出困境。
Regarding the ongoing efforts in unemployment relief the Labour and Welfare Bureau has been adopting a multi - pronged strategy to help the unemployed break away from their hardships
有關策略包括創造更多就業機會、協助有需要僱員增值或建立新工作技能、優化多項就業計劃以鼓勵僱主聘用有特別就業需要的求職人士、增強為僱主與求職人士配對工作，以及為有經濟困難的失業人士及其家庭提供經濟援助。
The strategy concerned includes creating more employment opportunities helping employees in need upgrade themselves or develop new job skills enhancing a number of employment programmes to encourage employers to hire job seekers with special employment needs enhancing job matching between employers and job seekers and providing financial assistance to the unemployed and their families in financial hardship
因應疫情影響，政府已就現時援助制度針對性引入臨時放寬措施，例如僱員再培訓局已推出、連同準備推出合共4期提供總數6萬個培訓名額的"特別․愛增值"計劃、限時降低在職家庭津貼計劃非單親住戶的工時要求、限時豁免計算保險現金價值為綜合社會保障援助計劃下的資產和限時放寬短期食物援助服務計劃的資產限額等，以進一步支援有經濟困難的人士及家庭。
In view of the impact of the epidemic the Government has already introduced temporary relaxation measures in respect of the existing assistance systems in a targeted manner such as a total of four rounds of the Love Upgrading Special Scheme offering altogether 60 000 training places which have been launched or are set to be launched by the Employees Retraining Board the time - limited reduction of working hour requirements for non - single - parent households under the Working Family Allowance Scheme the time - limited disregard for the cash value of insurance policies in the calculation of assets under the Comprehensive Social Security Assistance Scheme and the time - limited relaxation of the asset limits of the Short - term Food Assistance Services Projects so as to further support individuals and families in financial difficulties
自從2020年年初爆發2019冠狀病毒病疫情以來，香港經濟陷入衰退，勞工市場大家都知道承受顯著壓力，失業率在最差的時候，即是2020年12月至2021年2月期間，達到7.2%。
Since the outbreak of COVID - 19 in early 2020 Hong Kongs economy has slipped into recession . The labour market―as we all know―has come under great pressure with the unemployment rate reaching 7.2 % at its worst ie . from December 2020 to February 2021
我們明白對不少失業人士而言，最直接的幫助莫過於為他們提供更多就業機會。
We understand that for many unemployed the most direct help is to provide them with more employment opportunities
在金融業方面，財經事務及庫務局亦努力創造更多職位，支援受疫情打擊和失業影響的市民。
As regards the financial industry the Financial Services and the Treasury Bureau FSTB also endeavours to create more jobs to support people hit by the epidemic and affected by unemployment
政府統計處於2月完成招聘3,400個臨時外勤工作人員職位，優先考慮失業人士，以支援將於今年6月至8月期間進行的2021年人口普查工作。
In February the Census and Statistics Department CSD completed the recruitment of 3 400 temporary field workers with priority given to the unemployed to support the 2021 Population Census which will run from June to August this year
主席，接下來我會與勞福局副局長一同聽取多位議員的意見，然後由勞福局副局長先行回應議員意見，我會作最後總結。
President next the Under Secretary for Labour and Welfare and I will listen to the views of various Members together . Then the Under Secretary for Labour and Welfare will first respond to Members views and I will make a concluding remark
面對這一困境，財政司司長在2021-2022年度財政預算案宣布為受疫情影響的失業人士設立有時限的百分百擔保個人特惠貸款計劃。
In the face of this plight the Financial Secretary announced in the 2021 - 2022 Budget the establishment of a time - limited 100 % Personal Loan Guarantee Scheme PLGS for the unemployed affected by the epidemic
我們希望透過計劃，為受疫情影響而失去主要經常收入的失業人士提供多一個輔助性質的財政選項，幫助他們借入周轉資金渡過暫時的困境。
Through PLGS we hope to provide an extra supplementary financing option for the unemployed suffering from cessation of main recurrent incomes under the impact of the epidemic so as to facilitate their financing in order to tide over the interim difficulty
這項臨時措施的設計從簡、條款特惠，以期在短時間內為有需要的人士提供過渡性支援。
This temporary measure comes with a simple design and preferential terms with a view to providing transitional support for the needy in the short run
自僱人士、自由職業者、散工或臨時工如提供失業聲明，並且可以證明其已失去主要經常收入，也符合申請資格。
Self - employed individuals freelancers gig or casual workers are also eligible for application upon the production of a declaration of unemployment and demonstration of a loss of main recurrent incomes
正因如此，剛才我亦介紹過，其實財政司司長在2021-2022年度財政預算案中已提出成立一個策略小組，為促進香港債券市場的多元化發展建立路線圖。
For these reasons as I said earlier the Financial Secretary has announced in the 2021 - 2022 Budget that a steering group will be formed to formulate a roadmap for promoting the diversified development of Hong Kongs bond market
剛才各位議員提出的良好意見，正可供策略小組在工作上作參考。
The brilliant ideas raised by Members just now can serve as useful reference for the steering group in its future work
正如我先前發言時提及，今次建議擴大兩項債券計劃的規模，可讓政府日後的發債安排更具彈性，有助促進香港的債券市場、綠色金融和相關行業的可持續發展。
As I mentioned in my previous speech the proposed expansion of the scale of the two bond programmes will provide the Government with more flexibility on the issuance arrangements in future thereby promoting the sustainable development of the bond market green finance and the related industries in Hong Kong
由於香港現行的有限合夥基金制度尚未設有遷冊機制，所以我們有必要修訂法例，讓現有符合資格的外地投資基金，特別是私募基金，可遷冊來港，把香港發展成為首選的基金註冊地。
Given that the existing LPF regime in Hong Kong has yet to provide for a re - domiciliation mechanism it is necessary to amend the law to allow existing qualified investment funds especially private equity funds to re - domicile to Hong Kong and develop Hong Kong into a preferred fund domicile
遷冊來港後，基金的持續性會獲得保留，原本的基金無須解散，此前訂立的合約及取得的財產因此不會受到影響。
Upon re - domiciliation the funds continuity will be preserved . The original fund does not need to be dissolved and thus contracts made and property acquired prior to the re - domiciliation will not be affected
具體數字上，根據業界調查數據推算，按行業發展趨勢，若能進一步提升香港作為在岸私募基金中心的競爭力，估計可為私募基金業及其他相關的專業服務業創造每年約2,500個新職位。
In terms of specific figures an estimation from industry survey data says that based on the industry development trend if Hong Kongs competitiveness as the centre for onshore private equity funds is further enhanced it can create some 2 500 new jobs per year for the private equity fund industry and other related professional services
我們歡迎法案委員會對《條例草案》表示支持，並已就法案委員會提出的事項，包括有限合夥基金的監管制度、遷冊基金遵從香港法律等問題作出詳細解釋。
We welcome the Bills Committees support for the Bill and we have provided detailed explanation to the issues raised by the Bills Committee including the LPF regulatory regime and compliance with Hong Kong laws by re - domiciled funds
另一方面，委員關注遷冊基金之前訂立的合約如有違反香港法律的條文，應該如何處理。
On the other hand members were concerned about how to handle contracts made prior to the re - domiciliation of the fund that were in breach of the laws of Hong Kong
現時針對今次這項條例，我們正通過"三步曲"來推動香港資產及財富管理業的進步。
Now in relation to this ordinance we are propelling our asset and wealth management business forward through a three - step process
根據最新估算，計劃所涉及的總行政開支約為3億600萬元，佔計劃的總開支預算約0.4%。
According to the latest estimation the total administrative expenditure for implementing the Scheme is about 306 million accounting for around 0.4 % of the total budget
二 正如我剛才所講，現金發放計劃至今已向市民發放共約640億元，這筆款項相信對消費有一定的刺激作用，也會有外溢效應，帶動對其他服務行業的需求。
2 As I have just said the Cash Payout Scheme has disbursed a total of about 64 billion so far
首先當然是希望穩住經濟，同時希望紓緩市民的壓力。
First of all we aim to stabilize the economy and to relieve the burden of the people as well
我們會密切注意社會情況，繼續推出逆周期措施及其他針對性的支援，與市民和企業共渡時艱。
We will closely monitor the situation in the community and continue to implement counter - cyclical measures and provide other targeted support to enterprises and the general public for riding out the crisis together
政府去年8月至12月期間先後推出4輪涉及超過300億元的紓困措施，自本年年初再共推出3次共2,875億元的措施協助受影響的企業和市民，包括2月的第一輪300億元防疫抗疫基金紓緩措施；2020-2021年度財政預算案中共1,200億元的紓緩措施；以及4月的第二輪1,375億元的防疫抗疫基金措施。
The Government has launched four rounds of relief measures amounting to more than 30 billion between August and December last year . Since the beginning of this year three rounds of measures totalling 287.5 billion to assist the affected industries and the public were announced including the first round of 30 billion relief measures under the Anti - epidemic Fund in February; the 120 billion relief package in the 2020 - 2021 Budget; and the second round of 137.5 billion relief measures under the Anti - epidemic Fund in April
現金發放計劃的籌備工作已進入最後階段，我們會盡快向市民公布詳情。
The preparation work for the Scheme has reached its final stage . We will announce the details as soon as possible
三 公共租住房屋單位為珍貴的公共資產。
3 Public rental housing PRH units are valuable public assets
我們會透過"多管齊下"的方式努力覓地，長遠而有效地解決房屋問題，亦會繼續在獲批的土地盡量增建公營房屋。
We will strive to identify land under a multi - pronged approach so as to effectively resolve the housing problem in the long run . We will also continue to maximize the use of the land secured for public housing construction
我們十分明白也很理解破產人士面對的困境，但事實上，無論是否受到疫情影響，申請破產人士的財政都面對同樣的困難。
We can fully understand and appreciate the difficulties faced by the bankrupts but as a matter of fact no matter whether or not we are under the impact of the epidemic bankruptcy applicants will still find themselves in a financially difficult situation
主席，我們現時正聯同多個部門和銀行等相關機構全力進行籌備工作，包括擬備計劃流程、設計和開發電腦系統等，並會盡快推出計劃和公布細節。
President together with a number of government departments and related institutions we are now working in full swing on the required preparatory work including determining the workflow of the Scheme designing and developing the computer systems etc and will launch the Scheme and announce the details as soon as possible
其實，我們在《2020年撥款條例草案》審議期間已着手進行前期準備工作，以便在政府獲批撥款後，可早日開始接受登記和盡快發放款項。
As a matter of fact we have started the preparatory work in advance during the deliberation of the Appropriation Bill 2020 so that registrations may be accepted as early as possible for disbursement of the sum expeditiously once the Governments funding proposal is endorsed
正如剛才蔣議員提到，確有不法分子在網上或利用社交媒體發布一些虛假或具誤導性的資訊。
As mentioned by Dr CHIANG just now there are indeed criminals posting false or misleading information on the Internet or in the social media
就這方面，根據目前的《證券及期貨條例》，任何人發出關於投資的廣告、邀請或文件，以此誘使他人投資證券或集體投資計劃，必須根據《條例》第103條獲證監會授權或豁免，否則即屬犯罪，而該罪行的最高刑罰是罰款50萬港元及監禁3年；如屬持續的罪行，則可就罪行持續期間的每一天，另處罰款2萬港元。
In this connection according to the existing Securities and Futures Ordinance any person who issues an advertisement invitation or document which is or contains an invitation to the Hong Kong public to invest in securities or collective investment schemes must be authorized or exempted by SFC in accordance with section 103 of the Ordinance . Otherwise it constitutes an offence which carries a maximum fine of HK500,000 and up to three years imprisonment . A fine of HK20,000 is payable for each day that the offence continues
第二方面，公眾教育是很重要的，所以監管機構包括金管局及證監會不時在社交媒體或其他不同方面加強教育。
The second aspect is the importance of public education . Hence regulatory authorities including HKMA and SFC have stepped up education through social media or various other channels from time to time
因此，在這方面，我呼籲議員與我們一起合作，透過議員的網絡，令更多市民了解相關騙案的性質和內容，避免他們受騙。
Therefore in this connection I call on Members to cooperate with us so that we can through their networks enhance peoples understanding of the nature and content of the relevant fraud cases thereby safeguarding them from being deceived
因此，相關法例並不適用於網上籌款活動。
Hence the relevant regulation is not applicable to online fundraising activities
政府會繼續留意及參考其他地方就規管網上籌款活動的最新進展。
The Government will continue to monitor and draw reference to the latest development on regulation of online fundraising activities in other places
強積金屬長期退休儲蓄計劃，與自願儲蓄及其他退休保障方案相輔相成，構成整個退休保障制度。
MPF as a long - term retirement saving scheme is complementary to voluntary savings and other retirement protection solutions that constitute the overall retirement protection system
任何容許提早提取累算權益的建議，必須考慮到計劃成員用作退休儲備的累算權益會相應減少。
Any proposals allowing early withdrawal of accrued benefits from MPF System must take into consideration the corresponding reduction of scheme members accrued benefits meant for their retirement
計劃成員不應忽視強積金屬於長線投資並具有複息效應的特點，其設計原意在於讓強積金權益能在計劃成員的工作生涯中不斷滾存增值，達到積少成多的效果，故累算權益應盡量保存在制度內，直至就業人士退休時才可提取。
Scheme members should not overlook the characteristics of MPF as a long - term investment with compounding effect . Its design is to allow MPF benefits to accumulate steadily and keep in the accounts for value growth during the working life of scheme members . Therefore accrued benefits should be preserved in the System as far as possible and should only be withdrawn upon retirement of the employed persons
該等投資涉及共約126億元，只佔強積金總資產的1.45%。
These investments amount to some 12.6 billion and account for only 1.45 % of the total MPF assets
因此，有關股票的價格變動對強積金總資產的影響不大。
Hence the fluctuations of relevant stock price have little impact on MPF total assets
正如我剛才所述，強積金制度的設計是確保工作人口作長期而穩定的退休儲蓄。
As mentioned above the very design of the MPF System is to ensure the working population make long - term and steady retirement savings
自有關法例於2016年5月通過以來，強積金基金的平均基金開支比率由1.57%降至2020年9月的1.45%，其間共有149個強積金基金下調了收費，最大減幅高達55%。
Since the passage of the relevant legislation in May 2016 the average fund expense ratio FER of MPF funds has dropped from 1.57 % to 1.45 % as of September 2020 with 149 MPF funds reducing their fees and the largest amount of reduction being 55 %
有研究報告指出，香港消費者電子支付使用量自2019年以來已超越現金。
A research report also indicated that electronic payment by Hong Kong consumers has already surpassed cash since 2019
除食環署外，亦包括房屋署一些服務，例如圖則查閱網。
Apart from FEHD some services of the Housing Department such as the Housing Electronic Building Records Online System are also included
第四，是知識產權署，關乎其資訊科技系統的服務。
The fourth is the Intellectual Property Department concerning the services of its information technology system
第六，是地政總署，關乎其地圖服務。
The sixth is the Lands Department concerning its map services
大家看到政府要面向市民的層面很寬廣，而市民的需要是多方面的。
We can see that the Government has to deal with members of the public from diverse walks of life and with multifaceted needs
我在主體答覆及剛才回答李議員的補充質詢時，也較宏觀地略述了目前香港電子支付市場的狀態。
In my main reply and in my answer to Ms LEEs supplementary question I have also given a rather macroscopic outline of the current state of the electronic payment market in Hong Kong
由於有關工作仍在進行，我們現階段未有條件透露更多有關屯門南延綫項目的資料，以免引起不必要的揣測或誤會。
Since the relevant work is still in progress we are not in a position to disclose further information about the Tuen Mun South Extension at this stage to avoid causing unnecessary speculation or misunderstanding
就自駕遊的實施，我剛才已有仔細的交代，因社會上的確有不同聲音。
I have given a detailed account on the implementation of the Driving on Lantau Island Scheme just now and there are indeed different voices in the community about the issue
如有足夠支持，我們會適時作出公布。
We will make a timely announcement if adequate support can be obtained
在有關研究完成後，我們會適時公布。
We will make a timely announcement after completion of the relevant study
我亦希望在此作出匯報，因應周末以至長假期的遊客數目有所增加，我們在專營巴士服務方面，除了會按既定配額作出安排之外，也容許調配更多巴士提供加班服務。
I would also like to report here that in response to the increase in visitors during weekends and long holidays special arrangements have been made in the provision of franchised bus services so that apart from maintaining services in accordance with the established quota deployment of additional buses will also be allowed to operate special departures
就嶼南的長遠發展，發展局正在進行相關研究，相信從剛才的答覆已可清楚理解。
The Development Bureau is now conducting a study in respect of the long term development of South Lantau and I think Members can get a clear understanding of the issue from the reply given just now
此外，現時共有4條持牌渡輪航線服務嶼南，包括"中環―梅窩"航線、連接各離島包括坪洲、梅窩、芝麻灣及長洲的"橫水渡"、連接屯門、東涌、沙螺灣及大澳的航線，以及"愉景灣―梅窩"航線。
Besides there are currently four licensed ferry routes serving South Lantau namely the Central - Mui Wo route the inter - islands route plying between different outlying islands including Peng Chau Mui Wo Chi Ma Wan and Cheung Chau the route between Tuen Mun Tung Chung Sha Lo Wan and Tai O and the Discovery Bay - Mui Wo route
根據運輸署的評估，綜觀現時嶼南的巴士服務情況，除在個別需求較高時段的候車時間會較長外，大致可滿足乘客的需求。
According to TDs assessment the overall existing bus services in South Lantau can generally cater for the passenger demand except during individual periods of higher demand when the waiting time will be longer
二 為改善南大嶼山道路的行車情況，運輸署聯同路政署於2018年沿嶼南道及羗山道已完成21項擴闊路面及改善行車道彎位的工程。
2 In order to improve the traffic conditions of the roads on South Lantau TD and HyD completed 21 road widening and bend improvement projects along South Lantau Road and Keung Shan Road in 2018
在6月28日早上，當接獲黑色暴雨警告信號下發生山泥傾瀉的報告後，路政署已即時派員到場視察，並在確認安全的情況下，緊急清理堆積在嶼南道的山泥，以及在當日下午開通一條行車線。
Upon receipt of a report on a landslide incident in the morning of 28 June when a Black Rainstorm Warning Signal was in force HyD immediately deployed its staff to conduct site inspection and arranged for urgent clearance of landslide debris accumulated on South Lantau Road after the situation was confirmed safe . A traffic lane was then reopened in the afternoon of the same day
我們早前在檢視時，亦希望在第二階段可增加發給私家車的通行許可證數目，由每日25個增至不多於50個。
When a review was conducted earlier on the Scheme we proposed to increase the number of Closed Road Permits issued to private cars in the second phase from 25 to no more than 50 each day
不過，我承認車輛一般是車齡越高，需要檢驗的部分越多，所以在年檢時會因應車輛的不同部件，包括剎車系統、轉向系統、懸掛系統、燃油系統、電器線路、照明系統、輪軚、底盤車身等進行檢驗。
Nevertheless I admit that for vehicles the older they are the more parts of them need examining . Therefore in the annual examination different parts of a vehicle including the braking system steering system suspension system fuel system electric circuit components lighting system tyres chassis and body parts will be examined
大家都希望透過提升的士服務質素吸引乘客，令市民更多選用的士出行。
It is our wish that through enhancement in service quality taxis can be more appealing to passengers and more people will choose to take taxis
在2019年，共有17,208輛的士接受運輸署的年度檢驗，並全數獲批合格。
In 2019 a total of 17 208 taxis underwent the annual vehicle examinations conducted by TD and all those taxis passed the examinations
至於餘下約1,000輛為於2019年首次登記的士，約佔整體領牌的士數目不足10%，情況與過去3年相若。
As regards the remaining approximately 1 000 taxis they were first registered in 2019 accounting for less than 10 % of all licensed taxis . The situation was similar to that in the previous three years
而首次登記的士亦必須通過運輸署的檢驗，以及已有有效的汽車第三者風險保險，才可在道路上行駛。
First registered taxis are also required to pass the vehicle examination conducted by TD and be covered by valid third party risks insurance before they can be driven on the road
運輸署正陸續發信通知合資格的的士登記車主有關透過電子平台登記領取補貼的手續詳情。
TD is issuing letters to inform all eligible registered owners of taxis of the detailed registration arrangements for the subsidy through an electronic platform
申請截止日期為本年9月30日。
The deadline for registration is 30 September 2020
此外，政府對任何有效改善道路及駕駛安全的創新科技都持開放態度，並歡迎車輛製造商為各類型車輛引入新的駕駛輔助功能系統以提升駕駛及道路安全。
In addition the Government is open - minded about any innovation and technologies that could effectively improve road and driving safety and welcomes the introduction of new driver assistance systems by vehicle manufacturers for various classes of vehicles in this regard
車輛製造商亦可考慮為的士引入這類型系統，以提升駕駛安全。
Vehicle manufacturers may also consider introducing such systems to taxis with a view to enhancing driving safety
為提升的士服務的安全及質素，由本年10月1日起，申請的士正式駕駛執照的人士均須完成指定的職前課程，並取 得課程證書，才可獲發該等駕駛執照。
With a view to enhancing the safety and quality of taxi services starting from 1 October this year applicants for a full driving licence to drive a taxi must have completed the specified pre - service course and obtained the course certificate before they are issued with such driving licence
該課程涵蓋駕駛安全及道路安全等方面的知識，有助提高的士司機的駕駛安全意識。
The course covers knowledge on driving and road safety etc which helps enhance the awareness of safe driving among taxi drivers
我們會繼續透過的士服務質素委員會，以及和業界的定期會面，與業界保持緊密溝通，了解業界的需要，以提供適當措施協助業界改善其營運環境及車輛安全。
Through the Committee on Taxi Service Quality and regular meetings with the trade we will continue to maintain close liaison with the trade and look into their needs so as to formulate appropriate measures for improving the trades operating environment and vehicle safety
我亦明白一些自僱的，即自己擁有的士牌照、同時自己駕車的，我們稱為"單頭"車主的困境。
I also understand the plight of some self - employed owner - drivers who are taxi licence holders as well as drivers
現時我們已經在5個地區，就着5個試點進行相當仔細的研究，其中包括荔景敬祖路與念祖街的交界處，預計在2020年第四季便可 以完成有關的工程。
Now we have launched a meticulous study on five test points in five districts including the junction of King Cho Road and Lim Cho Street in Lai King . It is expected that the works concerned will be completed in the fourth quarter of 2020
