代理主席，由於今天的議案辯論所涉及的範圍相當廣泛，我希望先聆聽各位議員對議案的意見，稍後再作整體的回應。
Deputy President given the fairly extensive scope of todays motion debate I hope to listen to Honourable Members views on the motion first before giving a consolidated reply later
在支援中小型企業方面，正如我在開場發言提到，政府十分重視推動中小企發展，並一直致力為中小企締造有利營商的環境。
In respect of supporting small and medium enterprises SMEs as I mentioned in my opening speech the Government attaches great importance to promoting the development of SMEs and has been striving to create a business - friendly environment for SMEs
我們會因應市場情況，推出不同的短、中、長期措施，加強支援中小企。
We will introduce different short medium and long - term measures in light of the market conditions to strengthen our support for SMEs
此外，我們會致力支持企業拓展內地、東盟，以至全球的市場。
Moreover we will also support enterprises in expanding the Mainland ASEAN and global markets
就中美貿易摩擦而言，政府一直密切留意事態發展及其對香港經濟的影響，並與業界保持緊密溝通，互通資訊，共商對策。
As far as the trade frictions between China and the United States are concerned the Government has been keeping a close track of developments and their impacts on the Hong Kong economy and it has maintained close communications with the industry to exchange information and discuss countermeasures
短期而言，政府理解業界特別關注出口信用保險和融資，尤其是中小企較容易受到外圍因素影響。
In the short run the Government understands that the industry pays special attention to export credit insurance and financing; in particular SMEs are more susceptible to external factors
因此，政府迅速回應業界訴求，推出多項針對性的短期措施，包括：香港出口信用保險局先後推出特別支援措施，加強保障受美國關稅措施影響的香港出口商；延長香港按證保險有限公司的"中小企融資擔保計劃"下的特別優惠措施的申請期；工業貿易署加強向業界發放有關香港產地來源規則方面的資訊，並與業界跟進相關檢討工作；及香港貿易發展局不斷舉辦免費專題講座，亦繼續透過組織商貿考察團、商貿配對服務等，協助業界開拓新興市場及生產基地。
Therefore the Government has responded promptly to the industrys demands and introduced a number of targeted short - term measures which include The Hong Kong Export Credit Insurance Corporation has introduced special support measures to strengthen the protection of Hong Kong exporters affected by the tariff measures of the United States; the application period for the special concessionary measures under the SME Financing Guarantee Scheme of the Hong Kong Mortgage Corporation Insurance Limited has been extended; the Trade and Industry Department has stepped up the dissemination of information on the Hong Kong Origin Rules to the industry and followed up the relevant review with the industry; and the Hong Kong Trade Development Council has continued to organize free thematic talks and assist the industry in exploring emerging markets and production bases by organizing business missions and providing business matching services
政府亦同時優化BUD專項基金下的"內地計劃"，包括把每家企業的累計資助上限增加1倍至100萬元。
The Government also optimizes the Mainland programme under the BUD Fund such as doubling the cumulative funding ceiling per enterprise to 1 million
此外，在"中小企業市場推廣基金"方面，我們把每家企業的累計資助上限增加1倍至40萬元，以加強支援中小企探索新市場和新商機。
As regards the SME Export Marketing Fund we have doubled the cumulative funding ceiling per enterprise to 400,000 to strengthen support to SMEs in exploring new markets and new business opportunities
剛才多位議員提到，"一帶一路"倡議和粵港澳大灣區建設將會為香港企業帶來很多新機遇。
A number of Members have just mentioned that the Belt and Road Initiative and the development of the Guangdong - Hong Kong - Macao Greater Bay Area will bring many new opportunities for Hong Kong enterprises
特區政府也一直透過不同途徑，協助香港企業和專業人士發掘和掌握這些新機遇。
The SAR Government has also been assisting Hong Kong enterprises and professions through various channels in exploring and capitalizing on these new opportunities
我們會致力促進香港與內地企業的協作，幫助業界了解大灣區及"一帶一路"的項目，共同發掘機遇，包括與相關企業、專業團體和商會聯合舉辦論壇及對接交流會等，並且會到內地和"一帶一路"相關國家或地區推廣香港的優勢，積極支持工商和專業界別的投資及商貿配對工作。
We will strive to promote collaboration between Hong Kong and Mainland enterprises help the industry understand the Greater Bay Area and the Belt and Road projects and jointly explore opportunities which include co - organizing forums and business referral exchanges with the relevant enterprises professional bodies and business associations promoting the advantages of Hong Kong on the Mainland and the Belt and Road countries or regions and actively supporting the investment and business matching services of business and professional sectors
我們亦積極擴展香港駐海外經貿辦事處的網絡，鞏固及提升香港在國際貿易領域的樞紐地位，進一步開拓"一帶一路"沿線國家和其他具發展潛力市場的新商機。
Furthermore we are actively expanding the network of the Hong Kong Economic and Trade Offices ETOs overseas to consolidate and enhance Hong Kongs position as a hub in international trade and further explore new business opportunities along the Belt and Road countries and other markets with development potential
隨着特區政府進一步拓展經貿辦的網絡，經貿辦將加強對外宣傳工作，更積極向世界各地介紹香港的最新發展，鼓勵他們利用香港的優勢探索"一帶一路"倡議、大灣區，以至全球的機遇，協助香港的企業和專業團體開拓國際市場。
With the further expansion of the network of ETOs by the SAR Government ETOs will strengthen external publicity and more actively introduce the latest developments of Hong Kong to the rest of the world and encourage them to make use of the advantages of Hong Kong to explore the Belt and Road Initiative and the Greater Bay Area and make use of the global opportunities to assist Hong Kong enterprises and professional groups in exploring the international market
眾所周知，香港的專業服務具高水平和國際競爭力，內地和香港在CEPA框架下致力促進香港專業服務進入內地市場，包括利用CEPA在內地參加考試、註冊、執業和開業，以及鼓勵雙方的專業機構進行專業人員資格互認，推動專業技術人才交流。
As we all know Hong Kongs professional services have high standards and are internationally competitive . Under the framework of CEPA the Mainland and Hong Kong are committed to promoting the entry of Hong Kong professional services into the Mainland market which include making use of CEPA to take examinations register practise and set up business on the Mainland encouraging professional organizations on both sides to mutually recognize professional qualifications and promoting the exchange of professional and technical talents
目前有兩間香港企業已成功利用CEPA在廣東開設建築工程設計事務所。
At present two Hong Kong enterprises have successfully made use of CEPA to set up architectural and engineering design offices in Guangdong
在專業資格互認方面，通過雙方就產業測量師、建築師、結構工程師、規劃師、工料測量師，以及建築測量師的互認安排，內地與香港先後共有近3,400名專業人員成功取得對方的專業資格，當中香港人佔1,630名。
On mutual recognition of professional qualifications through the arrangements of the two sides for mutual recognition of professional qualifications of estate surveyors architects structural engineers planners quantity surveyors and building surveyors about 3 400 professionals from the Mainland and Hong Kong have successfully obtained the professional qualifications of the other side and among them 1 630 are Hong Kong people
我們會與內地繼續商討如何豐富CEPA的內容，爭取在大灣區內推出更多開放措施，為香港中小企及青年人開拓更多更好的創業和就業機會。
We will continue to discuss with the Mainland how to enrich the content of CEPA and strive to introduce more liberalization measures in the Greater Bay Area to develop more and better business and employment opportunities for SMEs and young people in Hong Kong
剛才亦有議員建議政府研究簡化過關手續及轉口貨物的清關手續，以促進中港兩地的物流。
Some Members have also suggested that the Government should consider simplifying the customs clearance procedures and re - export cargo clearance procedures to promote cargo flow between the two places
事實上，香港作為全球第七大的商品貿易經濟體系，一直致力提升貨物通關的便利水平，也推出多項便利措施。
In fact as the worlds seventh largest merchandise trade economy Hong Kong has been striving to improve the convenience of cargo clearance and has introduced a number of facilitating measures
例如自去年8月1日起，政府為每張進出口報關單的報關費設立 200元上限，以進一步減低高價貨品進出口的營運成本，中小企也可受惠；我們亦一直與內地當局探討擴展"跨境一鎖計劃"，以促進粵港兩地之間的貨物通關效率。
For example since 1 August last year the charge for each import and export declaration has been capped at 200 to further reduce the operating costs of the import and export of high - priced goods and SMEs will also be benefited . Moreover we have been exploring with the Mainland authorities the expansion of the Single E - lock Scheme to promote the efficiency of cargo clearance between Guangdong and Hong Kong
由今年1月起，該計劃在廣東省內的清關點增加至51個，當中包括在珠海首次設立的清關點，不但可以方便業界，也可以更好配合物流業界取道港珠澳大橋運送貨物。
Since January this year the clearance points in Guangdong Province under the Scheme have increased to 51 including the first clearance point in Zhuhai . This will not only facilitate the industry but also better coordinate with the logistics industry to transport goods using the Hong Kong - Zhuhai - Macao Bridge
在這方面，中小企同樣可以受惠。
SMEs will also be benefited in this aspect
剛才亦有多位議員在青年發展方面提出很多建議和意見。
A number of Members have also put forward many suggestions and opinions on youth development
我剛才在開場發言提到，青年發展是本屆政府的重點工作之一。
I mentioned in my opening speech that youth development is one of the priority policy areas of the current - term Government
由政務司司長主持的青年發展委員會亦已於去年4月成立。
The Youth Development Commission YDC chaired by the Chief Secretary for Administration was established in April last year
青年發展委員會將聚焦3項主要工作：第一，協助青年選擇適合他們的學業出路；第二，幫助青年發展事業和向上流動；以及第三，加強與青年人交流的渠道。
YDC will focus on three main tasks first assisting in young peoples selection of suitable study pathways; second facilitating young peoples career development and promoting their upward mobility; and third strengthening communication channels with young people
政府已預留了10億元支持青年發展委員會的工作，並會率先撥出其中5億元推出一系列新措施。
The Government has earmarked 1 billion to support YDCs work and 500 million will first be allocated to implement a series of new measures
民政事務局一直支持青年創新創業，包括設立"青年發展基金"及"青年共享空間計劃"。
The Home Affairs Bureau has been supporting youth innovation and entrepreneurship including the establishment of the Youth Development Fund and the Space Sharing Scheme for Youth SSSY
前者以資金配對形式與非政府機構合作，支持青年人創業；而後者為創業青年提供廉租共享辦公室。
The former supports business venture by young people in the form of a matching subsidy in collaboration with non - governmental organizations NGOs while the latter provides shared space for use by young entrepreneurs at concessionary rental
"青年共享空間計劃"提供平台，讓已活化工廈和商廈的業主撥出樓面作為共用工作空間或創作室，以不多於市值租金一半的優惠價租予青年創業家和藝術工作者使用。
SSSY provides a platform for the owners of revitalized industrial buildings and commercial buildings to contribute floor areas for the operation of co - working space or studios to support young entrepreneurs and artists at rental of not more than 50 % of comparable market rental
計劃推出至今獲不少企業熱心響應，參與計劃的物業業主合共提供超過10萬平方呎的共享空間，可受惠的青年超過1,000人。
So far SSSY has received wide support from enterprises and the property owners participating in SSSY have contributed more than 100 000 sq ft of shared space in total . More than 1 000 young people have been benefited
參與計劃的業主和非政府機構均同時向青年人提供多元化和具針對性的創業指導及支援服務。
The property owners and NGOs joining the scheme also provide diverse and specific entrepreneurship guidance and support services to young people
我們欣見香港的初創企業近年發展非常迅速，調查結果顯示，在2018年，香港共有超過2,600間初創企業，按年上升18%，這些初創企業僱用的員工人數，亦大幅增加了51%至超過9,500人。
We are pleased to see that Hong Kongs start - ups have developed very rapidly in recent years . Survey results show that there were more than 2 600 start - ups in Hong Kong in 2018 representing a year - on - year increase of 18 % . The employees employed by these start - ups also substantially increased by 51 % to more than 9 500 people
除了支持他們在香港創業，特區政府亦期望香港青年能發掘香港以外的機遇，在過往經驗的基礎上，加強對青年在香港及大灣區其他城市創新創業的支援，並鼓勵香港青年善用大灣區的青年創新創業基地，為香港雙創人才提供更多發展空間。
Apart from supporting young people in starting business in Hong Kong the SAR Government also hopes that they can explore opportunities outside Hong Kong . Based on past experience if we provide more support for youth innovation and entrepreneurship in Hong Kong and other cities in the Greater Bay Area and encourage young people of Hong Kong to make good use of the Shenzhen - Hong Kong Youth Innovation Entrepreneurship Base in the Greater Bay Area we can provide more space for development for innovation and entrepreneurship talents of Hong Kong
民政事務局與香港青年聯會於去年12月合作推出試行計劃，由青聯以自身的資源扮演"連繫人"和"引路人"的角色，負責公開招募香港青年創業者，通過與大灣區青年雙創基地的營運者、香港的 大學，以及科研單位等合作，帶領香港青年認識大灣區的機遇，協助他們找對門路，揀選合適的雙創基地，並以優惠條件落戶。
The Home Affairs Bureau and the Hong Kong United Youth Association HKUYA jointly launched a pilot scheme in December last year . As a connector and a leader HKUYA will use its own resources to openly recruit Hong Kong young entrepreneurs and lead them through cooperation with the operators of the Shenzhen - Hong Kong Youth Innovation Entrepreneurship Base in the Greater Bay Area the universities and research institutes in Hong Kong to understand the opportunities in the Greater Bay Area assist them in finding the right path choose the right innovation and entrepreneurship base and settle there on preferential conditions
民政局將向"青年發展基金"注資，以期在2019年第一季推出新一輪申請，資助香港非政府機構為在香港與大灣區其他城市創業的香港青年提供到位的創業支援及孵化服務。
The Home Affairs Bureau will make an injection into the Youth Development Fund so that new applications can be made in the first quarter of 2019 . NGOs in Hong Kong will receive subsidies to provide Hong Kong young people who start their business in Hong Kong and other cities of the Greater Bay Area with start - up support and incubation services
剛才亦有多位議員提及持續進修基金。
A number of Members have mentioned the Continuing Education Fund CEF just now
剛才多位議員提到置業階梯的問題。
A number of Members have referred to the home ownership ladder
政府有決心並會盡最大努力提供適切及可負擔的房屋，協助市民安居和改善居住環境。
The Government has the determination and will make all - out effort to provide suitable and affordable housing so that members of the public can live in contentment and in better living environment
政府在2014年公布《長遠房屋策略》，採納"供應主導"及"靈活變通"的原則，務求解決房屋供不應求的問題，重建房屋階梯。
The Government announced the Long Term Housing Strategy LTHS in 2014 to address the problem of housing demand - supply imbalance and rebuild the housing ladder under the supply - led and flexible principles
《長策》其中一個策略性方向，是提供更多資助出售單位，進一步豐富資助自置居所的形式，促進現有單位的市場流轉。
One of the strategic directions of LTHS is to provide more subsidized sale flats SSFs further expand the forms of subsidized home ownership and facilitate market circulation of existing residential units
行政長官在2018年施政報告指出，政府會增加公營房屋的比例，並承諾政府開拓的新增土地，以房屋單位計算，七成應用於公營房屋。
As stated in the Chief Executives 2018 Policy Address the Government would increase the ratio of public housing and committed that 70 % of housing units on the Governments newly developed land would be for public housing
在充分考慮最新的發展和社會各界的意見後，政府將《長策》下2019-2020年度至2028-2029年度10年期的公私營房屋新供應比例，由6：4調整至7：3，即公營及私營房屋供應目標分別為315,000個單位及135,000個單位。
After taking into consideration the latest developments and views from various sectors the Government has revised the publicprivate split for the 10 - year period from 2019 - 2020 to 2028 - 2029 from 6col4 to 7col3 ie . the supply targets for public and private housing will be 315 000 units and 135 000 units respectively
政府會繼續在《長策》的基礎上，增加房屋單位的供應，以滿足社會的長遠住屋需要。
The Government will also continue to increase the supply of housing units on the basis of LTHS to meet the long - term housing needs of the community including young people
此外，政府一方面會繼續多管齊下增加短、中、長期的房屋土地供應，以期從根本解決供求失衡的問題；另一方面則會適時推出需求管理措施，以減低市場因過分熾熱而可能造成的各種負面影響，以維持私人住宅物業市場健康發展。
In addition the Government will continue to adopt a multi - pronged approach to increase land supply in the short medium and long term with a view to fundamentally solving the problem of supply - demand imbalance . On the other hand the Government will introduce demand - side management measures in a timely manner so as to minimize adverse consequences arising from an overheated market and maintain the healthy development of the private residential property market
首先，房產價格的風險遠高 於強積金基金投資。
First investment in real estate is way riskier than investment in MPF funds
此外，由於本港強積金的強制性供款比率與其他國家相比偏低，只有5%，因此強積金戶口平均結餘只有不足20萬元。
Moreover when comparing with other countries Hong Kongs MPF mandatory contribution rate is relatively low at only 5 % so the average balance of MPF accounts is less than 200,000
對於剛踏入職場不久的年輕人士來說，他們的強積金戶口平均結餘可能會更低。
For young people who have just started to work the average balance of their MPF accounts may be even lower
因此，提早提取部分累算權益，對置業的幫助只是杯水車薪，實際作用十分有限。
Therefore early withdrawal of part of their accrued benefits is not meaningful in helping home purchase and the actual effect is very limited
謝偉銓議員的原議案提及政府採購和招標制度，以及關於工務工程的建議。
Mr Tony TSEs original motion touched on the procurement and tendering systems of the Government and the proposals on public works projects
謝議員剛才提及，政府即將推出支持創新的政府採購政策。
Mr TSE mentioned that the Government would soon launch a government procurement policy to support innovation
新政策的目的，是希望創造更有利的環境，鼓勵政策局/部門為政府採購時採納創新建議，以及便利初創企業和中小企參與政府採購。
The purpose of the new policy is to create a more favourable environment to encourage Policy Bureauxdepartments to adopt innovative proposals for government procurement and facilitate the participation of start - ups and SMEs in government procurement
政府會修訂《物料供應及採購規例》，以反映政府採購政策提倡公平、具競爭性、公開而接納創新的競投方式。
The Government will amend the Stores and Procurement Regulations to reflect that the government procurement policies promote fairness competitiveness and openness and innovative bidding methods are accepted
相關政府部門會共同協作，推出利便中小企和初創企業參與政府採購的措施。
The relevant government departments will collaborate and introduce measures to facilitate the participation of SMEs and start - ups in government procurement
政府物流服務署會公布政府採購計劃，以便利準投標者草擬其計劃，並參與招標前簡介會，協助中小企和初創企業熟習政府採購的程序。
The Government Logistics Department will publish government procurement plans to facilitate planning by prospective tenderers and join pre - tendering briefings to help SMEs and start - ups familiarize with government procurement procedures
創新及科技局和效率促進辦公室會聯同創科界人士舉辦商貿展覽，展示可供使用的創新方案，並提高採購部門對市場可提供的最新科技的觸覺和認識。
The Innovation and Technology Bureau and the Efficiency Office will line up with innovation and technology industry players to organize trade shows to showcase available innovative solutions and enhance the awareness and knowledge of procuring departments of the latest technology that can be sourced from the market
為支援政府在採購中支持創新，商務及經濟發展局及效率辦亦會訂定指引，鼓勵採購部門應用設計思維，以助它們在草擬招標簡介前，更積極及確切地理解服務使用者的需要。
To support pro - innovation procurement the Commerce and Economic Development Bureau and the Efficiency Office will also formulate guidelines to encourage procuring departments to adopt design thinking so that they will proactively seek a better understanding of the needs of users before they draw up tender briefs
就工務工程而言，政府並不會只着重價低者得的原則，而會同時考慮投標者的技術質素及投標價格。
As far as public works projects are concerned the Government will not only put emphasis on the lowest bid wins principle but will also consider the technical quality and tender prices of bidders
工程和顧問合約會按類別和投標金額分為不同組別，讓不同規模的承建商和顧問公司可參與指定組別的項目，增加中小型的參與機會。
Engineering and consultancy contracts will be divided into different groups by type and tender amount such that contractors and consultants of different sizes can participate in projects in designated groups to increase opportunities for small and medium contractors and consultants to participate
主席、各位議員，我在開場發言提到，現屆政府銳意發展新的經濟增長點，而國家的"一帶一路"倡議和大灣區建設將會為香港經濟發展提供一個歷史性機遇。
President Honourable Members I mentioned in my opening speech that the current - term Government is keen to develop new points of economic growth and the Belt and Road Initiative of the State and the construction of the Greater Bay Area will provide a historic opportunity for Hong Kongs economic development
特區政府會繼續多管齊下，做好"促成者"和"推廣者"的角色，協助企業和青年人好好裝備自己，迎接當前的機遇。
The SAR Government will continue to take a multi - pronged approach do a good job as a facilitator and promoter and assist enterprises and young people in properly equipping themselves to meet current opportunities
主席，我發言支持張超雄議員"立法保障罕見疾病的病人權益"的議案，亦支持李國麟議員和葛珮帆議員的修正案。
President I speak in support of Dr Fernando CHEUNGs motion Enacting legislation to protect the rights and interests of rare disease patients and the amendments proposed by Prof Joseph LEE and Dr Elizabeth QUAT
正如剛才所有議員的發言，罕見病患者很無助，他們面對昂貴的藥物費用，一般家庭根本難以負擔，以個人財力更不可能接受最先進或副作用最少的藥物，所以，政府應該對他們予以支援。
Just as Members mentioned in their speeches just now patients suffering from rare diseases are really helpless . The high drug prices they face are actually unaffordable to ordinary families not to mention affording with their personal finances the drugs which are most advanced or with the least side effects . So the Government should provide support to them
現時的問題是，雖然香港醫療系統的質素在世界上不算差這是全球的一個客觀看法，我不是純粹感情出發但事實上仍有很多不足之處。
The present problem is that though the quality of Hong Kongs health care system does not compare unfavourably with other places in the world―this is an objective view held globally rather than my sentimental judgment―it still has a lot of shortcomings actually
除了罕見疾病病人的權益外，其實一些長期病患者同樣面對與醫療費用、診治費用或檢查費用相關的困難。
Apart from the rights and interests of rare disease patients some chronic patients are also facing difficulties in relation to expenses for medical services treatment and examinations
首先，我必須說，在我的任期......其實上屆立法會時，我已向高永文局長要求成立一個專責委員會跟進香港的病毒性肝炎個案，但上屆政府沒有任何跟進，或者公道點說，是在進行中。
Firstly I must say that during my tenure In fact during the previous term of the Legislative Council I already requested Secretary Dr KO Wing - man to set up a select committee to follow up cases of viral hepatitis in Hong Kong but the last - term Government failed to take any follow - up action . Perhaps to be fair the follow - up action is underway
本屆政府在2018年6月，即去年年中，成立了一個預防及控制病毒性肝炎督導委員會，任期3年......
In June 2018 that is in the middle of last year the present - term Government established the Steering Committee on Prevention and Control of Viral Hepatitis with a term of three years
雖然世衞將完成目標的時間定於2030年，但相關工作並不是待2030年才開始，所以，世衞在2016年定出了一個對付肝炎的戰略，要在2016年至2021年的5年內完成工作。
Although the target completion date has been set for 2030 the relevant work will not be put on the back burner until 2030 . That is why WHO developed a strategy for tackling hepatitis in 2016 and decided to complete the relevant work within the five years from 2016 to 2021
所以，過去我一直提出，政府需要在這方面提供一些支援，以進一步減少香港因感染病毒性肝炎致死的人數。
For this reason I have been proposing that the Government should provide some support in this area so as to further reduce the mortality from viral hepatitis
其實，保守估計，每年都有約數個百分點的感染者因併發症死亡。
As a matter of fact at a conservative estimate a few percent of those infected die of complications every year
香港一位肝臟權威教授，大家都認識的黎青龍教授，他對於自己沒有被邀請或委任加入督導委員會感到奇怪，因為他一直致力於病毒性肝炎的相關工作，為此作出貢獻，但至今仍未被委任參與督導委員會。
A well - known authority in hepatology in Hong Kong Prof LAI Ching - lung finds it strange that he has not been invited or appointed to the steering committee because he has all along been committed to the work relating to viral hepatitis and has made positive contribution in this field . As yet he has not been appointed to the steering committee
即是有這麼一位權威人士在此，政府卻沒有邀請他加入督導委員會或向他索取意見，那最終，香港會否損失了時間、專業技術、學術、醫學等方面的重要和寶貴經驗和資料呢？
I mean despite the presence of an authority here the Government has failed to invite him to sit on the steering committee or to seek his advice . In the end will Hong Kong waste not only time but also important and valuable experience and information in various areas such as professional expertise academic research and medical science?
