代理主席，我要提醒你，我想你亦記得，其實這項工作是林鄭月娥失寵的時候應該是前年推行的全港清潔運動的餘緒。
Deputy Chairman I need to tender you a reminder . I guess you also remember that this job is actually a remnant of the territory - wide cleaning campaign which was launched when Carrie LAM had fallen out of favour―it should be the year before last
因為我當時示威反對小圈子選舉，她去到哪裏，我便到哪裏示威。
Because at that time I protested against the small - circle election . Wherever she went I would go there to stage a protest
代理主席，你要明白，如果政府以司長之力去統率改善各區環境，包括你所屬的選區，你想一想，這個政府是否太涼薄呢？
Deputy Chairman you have got to understand this . Just think about it if the Government deploys the Chief Secretary to be in charge of improving the environment in all the districts including your constituency such a government is too mean is it not?
政府指派一名司長進行全港18區清潔大行動，但虎頭蛇尾，表示會派一些錢給區議會自行處理。
The Government assigned the Chief Secretary to conduct a territory - wide cleaning campaign across the 18 districts . It started off with a bang but ended up with a whimper . It said it would allocate some money to the District Councils DCs and the latter could handle it themselves
這是實事，我贊成做，但金額卻少得可憐。
This is real work . I support doing it but the amount is miserably small
有人塞翁得馬，得而復失，前局長曾德成被梁振英一怒之下"斬"了，工作貫徹不到，所以後來的工作便做得越來越差。
Someone lost what he had obtained . The former Secretary TSANG Tak - sing was fired by LEUNG Chun - ying in a fury . The work could not be carried through
然後又"無喇喇生撻瘌"，現時來了民建聯另一位敗部復活之王，輸了議員議席卻當了副局長。
The subsequent performance thus became poorer and poorer . Then the Government fouled its own nest and now another big loser from DAB has made a comeback . Despite losing his seat as a Member he became an Under Secretary
其實它做事非常緩慢。
As a matter of fact its work has been very slow
主席，在這個問題上，為何我要大張旗鼓地說呢？
Chairman why am I speaking volubly on this issue?
實際上，我們看到創科署的遭遇，發現創科局的成立沒有多大幫助，原因是它未能提供誘因，令商界作出真正的投資。
As a matter of fact we have seen what happened to ITC and found that the establishment of the Innovation and Technology Bureau is not of much help . The reason is its failure to offer any incentive to attract real investments from the business sector
實際上，我們淪落到一個地步，是真正有錢的人不作出投資，而沒有錢、只打算從創新及科技基金撈取好處的人則大量投資。
In fact we have degenerated into such a state that the genuinely rich did not make any investment while those who have no money and only intend to reap gains from the Innovation and Technology Fund have made plenty of investments
根據審計署的報告，五大研發中心全部不達標。
According to the report of the Audit Commission all the five major Research and Development Centres have failed to reach the target
李議員，我們今天的第1項辯論涉及26個沒有修正案的總目，為6項辯論中項目最多的辯論，但辯論時間只有7小時，相當不合理。
Ms LEE our first debate today involves 26 heads with no amendments covering the largest number of items among the six debate sessions . But it is rather unreasonable that we are only given seven hours to debate
其實不然，因為預算案與其他法案不同，議員沒有提出修正案並不代表議案不重要或沒有爭議，而只是按照《議事規則》，我們不能夠增加某些項目的開支，致使我們束手無策。
This is actually not true because budgets are different from other Bills . The absence of amendments by Members does not mean that the motion is insignificant or that there is no controversy . Instead we are at our wits end as we are unable to increase the expenditure on certain items under the Rules of Procedure
大家也很清楚明白現時《議事規則》的限制，故我很希望假如明年有幸再就此討論，請不要以為議員對此部分沒有意見，其實我們有很多話想說。
We are well aware of the constraints under the existing Rules of Procedure . Hence I very much hope that if we are lucky enough to be given the opportunity to discuss this again next year please do not think that Members have nothing to say about this part . In fact we have much to say
接下來我希望針對不同項目發言。
Next I am going to speak on various items
第一個項目是"總目45―消防處"。
The first one is Head 45―Fire Services Department
今年消防處的預算開支是60億4,980萬元，編制職位增加331人至10,709人。
The estimated expenditure of the Fire Services Department FSD is 6,049.8 million this year and its establishment has grown by 331 posts to 10 709 posts
相比之下，香港警務處的預算開支是184億9,570萬元，編制職位則增加608個常額職位至34,660個，所有數據均是消防處的數倍之多。
In comparison the estimated expenditure of the Hong Kong Police Force is 18,495.7 million and its establishment has grown by 608 permanent posts to 34 660 posts . All of its data are a few times greater than that of FSD
因此，我希望政府當局正視有關情況。
For this reason I hope the Administration will squarely address the situation
我認為消防員的薪酬待遇應與警隊看齊，甚至有更高的調整，因為他們面對的工作量及風險均相當大。
In my view the remuneration package for firemen should be brought on par with that for the Police Force or even granted a greater upward adjustment given the substantial workload and risks they face
消防處被視為一般紀律部隊而非緊急紀律部隊，起薪點因而只有19,780元。
As FSD is regarded as a general disciplined service rather than an emergency disciplined service its entry point is only 19,780
相反，警隊作為紀律部隊中待遇最好的一群，起薪點有 22,410元，屬緊急紀律部隊的編制，高出13.3%。
On the contrary the entry point for the Police Force as the group getting the best package among disciplined services is 22,410 which is 13.3 % higher given its nature of establishment as an emergency disciplined service
有關決定源自1988年港英政府的《凌衞理報告書》，而大家也看到兩者確實存在差距。
Such a decision originated from the Rennie Committees Report of the British Hong Kong Government published in 1988 and we can see that there is indeed a gap between the two
我接下來的發言也是想指出為何我希望政府增加消防處的budget，令消防員的薪酬待遇得到改善。
In the following part of my speech I also wish to point out why I hope the Government will increase the budget for FSD so as to offer firemen a better remuneration package
大家在過去一段時間也聽到很多關於消防員不幸殉職或受傷的新聞，我們對此感到非常惋惜，亦很希望能夠藉提供更多不論是在薪酬或裝備方面的資源，避免這類事件發生。
These days we have heard quite some news about firemen who unfortunately died or got injured on duty . We feel deeply sorry about that and hope the recurrence of similar incidents can be prevented by the provision of additional resources be it in terms of remuneration or equipment
消防員現時要處理複雜的化學品，工作亦涉及很多需要巡查的樓宇，與30年前發表《凌衞理報告書》時的狀況截然不同。
At present firemen have to handle complicated chemicals and their duties cover a large number of buildings that warrant inspections . The situation is far different from that three decades ago when the Rennie Committees Report was published
因此，現時消防員不能預計的壓力和危險，以及潛在面對的壓力和危險，與30年前有差天共地的分別。
Hence the unpredictable and potential pressure and risks currently faced by firemen are poles apart from that three decades ago
因此，對於30年來一直未有完整檢討或從薪酬架構中看看有何提升空間，我認為實在不恰當。
Hence concerning the absence of a full review or a study on whether there is room to improve the salary structures over the past three decades I consider it most inappropriate
消防員的員方組織亦曾提出相同建議，希望消防處能夠列為緊急紀律部隊，有獨立的薪級表，從而令其薪酬與警隊或其面對的危險和責任看齊。
Staff associations of FSD have also put forward the same proposal seeking recognition of FSD as an emergency service with an independent pay scale so that their remuneration can be brought on par with that of the Police or made commensurate with the risks and responsibilities they face
再者，看看所有民調結果，消防員的民望亦是紀律部隊中最高的。
Furthermore as shown by all the opinion poll results the popularity rating of firemen is also the highest among the disciplined services
近年，大家也看到投考消防員的人數很少，如與其他紀律部隊相比，香港海關每年平均接獲11,000宗申請，但消防處只接獲4,000宗申請。
In recent years we can see that the number of applicants for the post of Fireman has been low . Compared with other disciplined services while the Customs and Excise Department receives an average of 11 000 applications per year FSD only gets 4 000 applications
由此可見，有關需求及社會期望均很高。
It is evident that the relevant demands and social expectations are high
在以往市政局的年代，市政局有權處理食物環境衞生署、康樂及文化事務署和酒牌局的大部分職權，而且財政獨立，每年可以動用的 資源多達80多億元，為地區行政的重要支柱。
In the years of the former Municipal Councils the Municipal Councils had the authority to exercise most powers and functions of the Food and Environmental Hygiene Department the Leisure and Cultural Services Department and the Liquor Licensing Board and were financially independent . Their annual disposable resources amounted to as much as some 8 billion making them the key pillar in district administration
我接下來的發言是想指出我希望能夠增加地區主導行動計劃的一些撥款，令一些確實能夠改善地區或地區市政事宜的計劃能夠獲得更充裕的支持。
In the following part of my speech I wish to point out that I expect an additional funding to the District - led Actions Scheme so that those schemes which can practically improve the districts or district municipal affairs will be given more support
在地區主導行動計劃下，每區每年只獲得6,300萬元的撥款，大多屬短期計劃，例如中西區計劃只提供三輪清潔服務，其實難以根治地區問題。
Under the District - led Actions Scheme every district is allocated a funding of only 63 million per year . Most of them are just short - term schemes such as the Central and Western District scheme under which only three rounds of cleansing services are provided actually rendering it hard to weed out district problems
因此，我建議政府將增撥的1億元撥予地區主導行動計劃，令區議會並非以"蛇齋餅粽"為主導，而是真正解決地區問題，真正發揮區議會在吸納民意後制訂政策的重要功效。
Hence I suggest that the Government allocate the additional funding of 100 million to the District - led Actions Scheme so that DCs may truly address district issues and genuinely give play to their key function of formulating policies that carry public opinions instead of getting obsessed with snake feasts vegetarian feasts moon cakes and rice dumplings
即使是現在的狀況，政府亦難以為區議會賦權。
Even under the current setting the Government still finds it hard to vest DCs with powers
但我認為這相當可笑，亦顯示政府在"殺局"後，地區行政處於真空狀態。
But I consider it rather ridiculous for district administration has been left in a vacuum state following the abolition of the Municipal Councils by the Government
區議會真的無能為力，因它沒有實權，只能在政府樂意諮詢時向政府提出意見，讓政府作出修訂。
DCs really can do nothing as they have no real powers . They can only make their views known to the Government when the Government is willing to consult them so that the Government may introduce amendments
不過，官僚體系亦存在很大問題。
However there are great problems with the bureaucratic system
因此，對於這筆撥款，雖然我希望地區主導行動計劃能獲得更多撥款，但長遠來說，這可能只是"頭痛醫頭"或治標不治本的方法。
Hence as far as the funding is concerned while I hope the District - led Actions Scheme will be granted an additional funding in the long run it may just be a piecemeal approach treating the symptoms but not the root cause of the problems
我除了對地區主導行動計劃和社區參與計劃的撥款有意見外，其實還有另一筆撥款亦令我相當關注，就是政府已預留6億4,000萬元為20周年籌辦慶祝活動。
In addition to my comments on the funding allocated to the District - led Actions Scheme and community involvement projects actually there is another provision which has aroused my concern and that is the 640 million earmarked by the Government for organizing events in celebration of the 20 anniversary of the reunification
六四、6億4,000萬元，不知道政府是否故意用上這麼敏感的數字，或許當政府將文件呈交中央時也不會獲得批准。
I do not know whether it is the deliberate intention of the Government to use such sensitive figures as 4 June and 640 million . Maybe when the Government submits the documents to the Central Authorities it will not manage to get an approval
總而言之，籌辦是次慶祝活動其實花費甚巨。
In short it actually costs much to organize the celebration events on this occasion
大家應想想究竟我們應否在主權移交20年時花這麼多錢舉辦這些所謂慶祝活動，還是我們需要的只是一群官員、議員坐下來反思己過，想想為甚麼香港由 過去發展到現在會出現這麼多問題呢？
Members should think about whether we should spend such a huge sum of money on marking the 20 anniversary of the handover of sovereignty with these so - called celebration events or all we need is a group of public officers and Members sitting there to reflect on their own and think about why Hong Kong having come a long way from the old days is now laden with problems
政制不公，加上我們的深層次矛盾尚未解決，還花費大額金錢慶祝，真的很荒謬。
It is downright ridiculous to spend a huge sum of money on celebrations while an unjust political system is in place and that our deep - rooted conflicts remain unresolved
讓我們看看民政事務總署預留的2,900萬元用作籌辦甚麼活動，如與羅浮宮合辦的"羅浮宮的創想從皇宮到博物館的八百年"、與大英博物館合辦的"永生傳說透視古埃及文明"，以及與北京故宮博物院合辦的"養心殿故宮博物院文物大展"，還有特備大型體育盛事，分別是"富豪環球帆船賽"和"UCI場地單車世界錦標賽"。
Let us look at the events organized with the 29 million earmarked by HAD . They include Inventing le Louvre From Palace to Museum over 800 Years jointly organized with Musée du Louvre Eternal Life―Exploring Ancient Egypt co - organized with the British Museum and Yangxindian Exhibition from Palace Museum presented in collaboration with the Palace Museum as well as mega sports events which are respectively the Volvo Ocean Race and UCI Track Cycling World Championships
如果說這些是慶祝主權移交20周年的活動，我認為很可笑。
I consider it ridiculous if these are the events meant to celebrate the 20 anniversary of the handover of sovereignty
在事務委員會上，有些很愛國愛港的議員曾表示這是"掛羊頭賣狗肉"，並非真正旨在慶祝主權移交20周年。
At the panel meetings some Members who loved the country and Hong Kong indicated that it was crying up wine but selling vinegar not truly meant to celebrate the 20 anniversary of the handover of sovereignty
這些能真正切合市民所需嗎？
Can they meet the actual needs of members of the public?
我相信很多市民均不贊同。
I believe many do not think so
剛才羅列的一大堆所謂盛事和社區活動，也不知道有多少市民可以參與。
It is not known how many members of the public can get involved in the whole lot of so - called events and community activities listed just now
其實，這2,900萬元確實可以用於更有需要的地方。
In fact this sum of 29 million can indeed be deployed to areas in greater need
監警會的威信本來已很低，大家也視它為"無牙老虎"。
The prestige of IPCC perceived by people as a toothless tiger is already low
這樣的清洗更加摧毀了監警會僅餘的公信力，令監警會成為"梁粉"、建制派、反佔中人士等的俱樂部。
Such a purge has even destroyed its last shred of credibility thereby turning IPCC into a club for LEUNGs fans the pro - establishment camp anti - Occupy Central supporters etc
其實監警會一直以來"自己人查自己人"，即警察調查警察，令監警會和投訴警察課一直面對公眾很大的質疑，而現有制度確實難以給予市民信心。
In fact IPCC has long been conducting peer investigations which means that the police officers investigate their own peers thereby subjecting IPCC and the Complaints Against Police Office to grave public queries and it is indeed difficult for the existing system to inspire in the public confidence
因此，我建議針對監警會的規模增加資源，可參考英國監警會，賦予監警會獨立調查的權力，繼而增加相關資源，從而切實調查警察的紀律或濫權問題。
Hence I propose that additional resources be allocated in respect of the scale of IPCC . Reference may be made to the British IPCC to vest IPCC with the power of independent investigation followed by the provision of associated resources with a view to properly investigating the police officers disciplinary issues or abuse of power
我們可以看到與外國相比，香港監警會的人數相對為少。
We can see that compared with overseas countries the membership of our IPCC is smaller
梁議員，剛才我針對獨立監察警方處理投訴委員會的總目發言，但我也想針對消防處的總目作少許補充，因為剛才很多議員亦有就這個項目發言。
Mr LEUNG just now I spoke on the head covering the Independent Police Complaints Council IPCC but I also wish to add a few points on the head for the Fire Services Department FSD since many Members also spoke on this item just now
正如我剛才所說，我們不提出修正案，不代表我們對這些撥款沒有意見，因為根據我們的權責，我們不能增加政府的開支，但我發言正正是希望政府增加消防處的開支。
As mentioned by me earlier the fact that we did not propose any amendment does not mean we do not have any views on these provisions because according to our powers and duties we cannot increase government expenditure . Yet I am speaking in the hope that the Government will increase the expenditure for FSD
其實，社會上發生的許多意外，過後均要消防處增加工作量，簡單而言，就是"食隻死貓"，例如早前牛頭角迷你倉發生大火，消防處除了要即時撲滅火災外，還有一些善後工作，例如工廈的巡查，有很多均是增加在消防處的前線人員身上。
An example is the fire which broke out in the mini - storages in Ngau Tau Kok earlier . Apart from extinguishing the fire immediately FSD has to do some follow - up work such as the inspection of industrial buildings . A lot of the additional work has fallen onto the frontline officers of FSD
所以，一直以來，有很多消防員告訴我，他們的工作量實在太大。
Hence all along many firemen have been telling me that their workload is indeed too heavy
事實上，我可能也須申報利益，我有親人在消防處工作，他們個人的經驗令我明白這是一個非常高風險的行業。
Actually I may have to make a declaration of interest . I have relatives who work in FSD . Their personal experience has made me understand that it is a very high - risk profession
這些都是旁敲側擊的論證，消防處的薪酬待遇的確需要改善，我認為最低限度要與警隊看齊，設立獨立的薪酬架構，或如警隊般列為緊急紀律部隊，這樣才能與它本身為社會作出的貢獻及面對的危難成正比，亦令到更多人願意加入這行業。
In my view at least an independent salary structure on a par with the Police Force should be set up or it should be listed as an emergency service like the Police Force . Only then will it be compatible with its contribution to society and the danger it faces . It can also encourage more people to join this profession
我的建議則是增加資源，但前提是它必須開放架構，以及享有更多權力，這樣才能發揮監察警隊的職能。
Yet I propose increasing its resources on the premise that it must open up its structure and be given more powers . Only then will it be able to bring its function of monitoring the Police Force into place
我們看到，其實過往警隊有很多個案令市民感到相當憂心，擔心監警會能否發揮其職能，令警隊的濫權或紀律問題能適時獲得處理。
As we can see in the past there were actually many cases of the Police Force which made members of the public deeply worried whether IPCC was able to exercise its function so that abuse of power or disciplinary issues in the Police Force could be handled in a timely manner
監警會曾向警方提出多項質詢，包括更改調查結果分類、改善警隊常規和程序建議、行使警權理由、澄清調查報告資料等，並提出793項建議，但總共只有381項質詢或建議獲警方接納，平均只有59.28%的質詢獲警方接納。
IPCC had raised various queries with the Police on matters including change in the classification of findings recommended improvements to police practices and procedures reasons for exercising police power clarification of information in investigation reports etc and made 793 recommendations but only 381 queries or recommendations were accepted by the Police . On average only 59.28 % of the queries were accepted by the Police
可想而知，在這層面上，警隊其實有很大的權力，甚至簡單而言，中聽的便聽，不中聽的便不理會，這種狀況十分常見。
Judging from this the Police Force actually enjoys an enormous power on this front . Simply put it will only listen to comments which are pleasant to its ears and ignore those which are not . Such a phenomenon is very common
我剛才在第一次發言時亦說過，我建議香港參考英國監警會，賦予監警會獨立的調查權力，這樣才能防止"警警相衞"的情況出現，導致監警會監察警隊的職能無法有效發揮。
As I said in my first speech just now I propose that Hong Kong draw reference from the practice of the British IPCC of vesting IPCC with an independent power of investigation . Only this approach can prevent the situation of police officers shielding one another which will cause IPCC to be unable to bring its function of monitoring the Police Force into effective play
另一方面，對於很多重大個案或社會關注的個案，它的反應相當遲緩，警方反應遲緩之餘，監警會亦不見得能有效監察警方，適時採取行動。
Besides its response to a number of major cases or cases of social concern was rather slow . While the Police responded slowly we did not see IPCC effectively monitor the Police and take timely action
過去曾有兩宗涉及警司級別的嚴重個案，即使監警會認為投訴屬實，但是警方堅拒接納，膠着的時間長達數年。
In the past there were two serious cases involving the rank of Superintendent . Even though IPCC found the complaints substantiated the Police firmly refused to accept them and the deadlock lasted as long as several years
即使個案屬實，警方亦可能拒絕作出跟進行動，例如朱經緯警司的個案，經過800多天才正式提出檢控。
Even if a case is substantiated the Police may refuse to take any follow - up action . For example in the case of Superintendent CHU King - wai it took some 800 days to officially initiate prosecution
所以，若要令市民對監警會重拾信心，相信警察的權力受到適當的制衡，以及監警會能為市民監察政府的權力有否被濫用，便必須作出一些必然的改革。
Hence to restore public confidence in IPCC and convince them that police power is subject to appropriate checks and balances and IPCC can monitor on behalf of the public whether the power of the Government has been abused some reforms are certainly necessary
我剛才已說過，監警會須開放架構，令內部成員組合更為廣闊，例如包括一些泛民議員或其他代表，從而令意見更均衡。
As I said just now IPCC must open up its structure to attain a wider internal membership which for example includes pan - democratic Members or other representatives so that the views will be better balanced
另外，監警會須享有獨立的調查權，可以將個案直接交付檢控機關，以決定是否提出檢控。
Furthermore IPCC must enjoy an independent power of investigation and may directly refer cases to the prosecution authority for deciding whether to initiate prosecution or otherwise
這同時涉及資源的問題，我希望監警會作出這兩項改革後，會增加資源，這樣才能有效地進行調查工作。
This also involves the matter of resources . I hope resources for IPCC will be increased after these two reforms . Only then can the investigation work be conducted effectively
現時香港監警會有51名職員，其中16人直接負責處理個案。
At present the Hong Kong IPCC consists of 51 staff members . Among them 16 are directly responsible for handling cases
與其他國外例子相比，例如英國監警會有804名職員，482人負責調查 及個案跟進；安大略省的獨立警務督查主任辦事處有51名職員，30人負責調查及個案跟進。
Let us compare it with other examples overseas . For instance the British IPCC comprises 804 staff members 482 of whom being responsible for investigation and follow - up of cases; the Office of the Independent Police Review Director in Ontario comprises 51 staff members 30 of whom being responsible for investigation and follow - up of cases
與英國和安省相比，香港監警會的職員/警員比例最低，尤其是調查人員的比例。
Compared with the United Kingdom and Ontario the ratio of staff members especially investigators of the Hong Kong IPCC to police officers is the lowest
所以，若要監警會充分發揮其調查和監察職能，增加調查人員是必然的事。
Hence to enable IPCC to fully exercise its investigative and monitoring functions it is imperative to increase the number of investigators
現時的架構並不足以支持監警會以中立持平的角度，獨立調查有關警方的投訴。
The existing structure is not sufficient to support IPCC in independently investigating complaints against the Police from a neutral and impartial angle
所以，針對總目121，我希望政府能夠進行檢討，並在未來考慮增加資源。
For this reason in respect of head 121 I hope the Government can conduct a review and consider increasing the resources in the future
下一個我想談論的項目是"總目169―截取通訊及監察事務專員秘書處"的開支，今年的預算開支是2,120萬元，職員總數為23名。
The next item I wish to discuss is the expenditure under Head 169―Secretariat Commissioner on Interception of Communications and Surveillance . This year the estimated expenditure is 21.2 million . The total establishment is 23
2016年6月，立法會通過《2015年截取通訊及監察條例草案》，賦權截取通訊及監察事務專員可以要求執法機關提交截取和監察成果，作查核之用，是一項重大改革，令專員享有監察執法機關的實權。
In June 2016 the Legislative Council passed the Interception of Communications and Surveillance Amendment Bill 2015 empowering the Commissioner on Interception of Communications and Surveillance to request law enforcement agencies to submit products of interception and surveillance for examination . It was a significant reform vesting the Commissioner with the real power of monitoring law enforcement agencies
但是，其實還有很多標準未達市民的要求，而且科技一日千里，一些關於通訊科技的應用未必受這條例草案和過去所有相關條例涵蓋。
However many standards still fall short of public expectations . Moreover given the rapid technological advancements some applications relating to communication technology might not be covered by this Bill and all the relevant laws in the past
例如對黑客軟件的監察、破解手機、截取數碼通訊、要求網絡服務供應商提供用戶資料等，均不受條例所規限。
For example the regulation of hacking software cracking of mobiles interceptions of digital communications requests for provision of users information from Internet service providers etc . are not regulated by the Ordinance
保安局副局長李家超早前親口承認，警方有破解手機密碼的技術，但他以影響執法為由，拒絕否認警方曾使用黑客軟件，令我們有合理懷疑，警方可能已經透過不同技術截取市民的個人資料。
Some time ago Under Secretary for Security John LEE personally admitted that the Police possess the technology of cracking passwords of mobiles but he refused to deny that the Police have used hacking software on the grounds of affecting law enforcement thus causing us to reasonably doubt that the Police may have intercepted personal data of members of the public through different technologies
在這方面，全球各地均曾出現相關醜聞，而監察政府如何保障市民的私隱，亦是世界各地公民社會中一個很嚴峻的議題。
In this regard relevant scandals have appeared in various parts of the world . The regulation over how the Government protects the privacy of members of the public is a grave issue in civil societies around the world
在美國、英國、歐洲亦曾有很多類似的個案發生，在民間引起很大的迴響。
Many similar cases have occurred in the United States the United Kingdom and Europe triggering great reactions in the community
所以，我們在需要透過獲取這些資料以撲滅罪行之餘，其實亦必須尊重市民，保障市民的私隱，這亦是我們在審議這些通訊條例時一個很重要的考慮因素。
Hence apart from the need to eradicate crimes through the collection of such data we must also respect members of the public and protect their privacy . This is an important consideration when we examine legislation on communications
專員提交的2015年周年報告第6.31段指出，"涉事人員沒有以應有的謹慎執行條例所訂的職責，並非首次"。
As pointed out in paragraph 6.31 of the Annual Report 2015 submitted by the Commissioner This was not the first time that the Officer was found not exercising due care in the performance of duties under the ICSO
換言之，這名涉事人員是一名積犯，即在過往很多個案中，執法人員以不受條例涵蓋的技術 取得私隱資料，並無受到監管。
In other words this officer in question was a recidivist . That means in many past cases the law enforcement officers had obtained privacy data by using technologies not covered by the Ordinance without being subject to regulation
我相信這狀況印證了相關條例需要適時更新和檢討。
I believe such a phenomenon bears testimony to the fact that the relevant Ordinance warrants updating and review in a timely manner
