陳德霖表示，最有效的跨境支付方法，應該是香港錢包在內地使用，希望明年能夠落實推行。
Norman CHAN says that the most effective cross - border payment method should be the use of Hong Kongs mobile wallets on the Mainland and he hopes that this practice can be implemented next year
事實上，如果大家明白香港的經濟，明白香港的"一國兩制"，明白港元於國際上的地位及價值，大家便應非常非常小心。
If fact if we understand Hong Kongs economy if we understand one country two systems and if we understand the status and value of Hong Kong dollar in the international community we should be extremely careful
如果你懂經濟，你便會明白為甚麼市場自由、個人自由是值得我們警惕。
If you know economics you will understand why market freedom and individual freedom are worth our vigilance
香港之所以有自治權，是因為香港實施"一國兩制"。
Hong Kong has autonomy because of the implementation of one country two systems
其實，說到底，最明顯亦最容易理解的是我們港元的運用。
After all the most apparent and easiest aspect to see is that we use Hong Kong dollars
我可能要討論一下貨幣的基本功能，貨幣可以用來保值，可以交易，最重要可作為一個運算單位。
I may need to say something about the basic function of a currency . It can be used to store value to trade and most importantly to serve as a unit for computation
港元是區隔中港最核心的制度。這個制度是"一國兩制"最明顯的體現，不是廣府話或繁體字這些語言文化的體現。
The Hong Kong dollar is the core system separating Hong Kong and Mainland China and this system is the most obvious embodiment of one country two systems unlike Cantonese or traditional Chinese characters which are the linguistic and cultural embodiments
香港與中國大陸最不同之處，在於我們的市場運用不同的貨幣，即是美金與港元。
The biggest difference between Hong Kong and Mainland China is to be found in our markets where different currencies namely the US dollar and Hong Kong dollar are used
但是，如果採用支付寶或虛擬貨幣作為另一種系統的話，便會變成由中共或北京壟斷的交易平台，一旦被國企壟斷，香港企業是難以分一杯羹的。
However if Alipay or a virtual currency is used as an alternative system it will become a transaction platform monopolized by Beijing or the Communist Party of China and once it is monopolized by state - owned enterprises Hong Kong enterprises can hardly obtain a slice of the pie
所以，從經濟層面而言，結論是所謂多元經濟，事實上是指由2005年到2015年的時候，香港的經濟體系或經濟結構已經單一到一個地步，我們已經不能夠再談多元，或是多元化的經濟。
Therefore as far as the economic level is concerned my conclusion is that the so - called diversified economy became increasingly centralized during the period from 2005 to 2015 so much so that Hong Kongs economic system or economic structure can no longer be described as diversified; nor can we talk about a diversified economy
然後，"林鄭"提出所謂的金融創新，但帶來的後果或效果是，我們的金融或貨幣制度變得更加與大陸接軌。
Thereafter Carrie LAM put forward something called financial innovation but the result or effect it will bring is a higher degree of connectivity with the Mainland in our financial or monetary system
當然你或會說，這樣未必會有損失，但現行或現在某一些既得利益者自己便要小心。
Of course you may say that this does not necessarily mean losses but people with vested interests at present must watch out for themselves
就經濟這部分，我留待結尾會再作少許補充，我現在跳往第二方面，就是很多泛民議員或我們的同事都很關心的民生部分，特別是較早前"林鄭"談及的"綠置居"或置業階梯。
On this discussion about our economy I will add a little more information at the end of my speech . Let me now jump to the second part which is about peoples livelihood . This is a topic that many pro - democracy Members or our colleagues have expressed concerns―in particular the Green Form Subsidised Home Ownership Scheme or the housing ladder mentioned by Carrie LAM earlier on
關於這個部分，如果大家回顧5年前，我們討論的問題是地產霸權、貧富懸殊、租貴樓貴、買不到樓，但今日施政報告中再沒有提及地產霸權問題。
Regarding this part if we look back five years ago we will see that the issues we discussed included developer hegemony disparity between the rich and the poor expensive rent and costly flats and the inability of the people to own a home . The Policy Address this time however has not mentioned the problem of developer hegemony not any more
這正是我們難以就這份施政報告作出明確批評的原因，因為"林鄭"這份施政報告，我不是誇獎她，她其實是一個公關政府，她善於公關的地方，是她有能力令香港人的討論焦點放到如何節省400元，她有能力令大家討論原來我們還有置業夢，但我們這一代要在這數年討論置業？
That reason is exactly the reason why we can hardly make clear criticism on this Policy Address . This Policy Address of Carrie LAM―I am not praising her but actually she has an administration that is good at public relations and she is good at public relations because she can make the discussion of Hong Kong people focus on how to save 400 and she has the ability to make us discuss our long abandoned but now salvageable dream of owning a home . But you want our generation to discuss in the next few years on how to buy a property?
不要騙人吧，香港房屋最大最大問題，或最難搞、最複雜的是，如何重構由麥理浩年代建立的樓宇階梯，並不是置業階梯或房屋階梯。
Do not cheat us . The biggest issue in Hong Kongs housing problem or the most difficult and complicated issue is how to reconstruct the buildings ladder of the MACLEHOSE era not the housing ladder
今日政府利用"綠置居"來取代出租公屋，政府在施政報告第144段已清晰寫明這句說話，我的理解是，政府是指會有條件或適時停建公屋。
Today the Government uses the Green Form Subsidised Home Ownership Scheme to replace public rental housing and the Government has explicitly written down such words in paragraph 144 of the Policy Address . According to my understanding the Government means that when the condition or time is right it will stop building public housing
政府不談這4隻字是欺騙大眾，"林鄭"自己脫口說出80萬上限，之後又收回，其實背後說的是，政府有想過停建公屋而已，它認為停建公屋並沒有問題。
These four words are not mentioned by the Government so it is cheating the people . Carrie LAM herself blurted out the maximum number of 800 000 public housing units and then she took it back . In fact the message behind all these is that the Government has thought about suspending public housing construction and it sees no problem in doing so
好了，有一些政策我都要大概談一談，例如"綠置居"，"白居二"的恆常化，她指出未來會有一些房屋市場，例如有"光房"、貨櫃屋、公屋、"綠置居"、居屋、"港人首置上車盤" 、私人樓，或是一些大型屋苑，這是所謂的置業階梯的6至7個結構。
Alright there are some policies I want to talk about briefly for example the Green Form Subsidised Home Ownership Scheme and the plan to regularize the White Form Buyers . She says that there will be some housing markets in the future such as Light Housing pre - fabricated modular housing public housing Green Form Subsidised Home Ownership Scheme Home Ownership Scheme flats Starter Homes for Hong Kong residents and private housing or some large housing estates . These are the six or seven structures in the so - called housing ladder
可是，按照實際數據，今天的公屋供應如果要符合她的說法，即是在5年內興建75,000個公屋單位，便可滿足現時約15萬宗申請，但同時需要在未 來5年每年平均落成2萬多個私人單位，即是要較之前的建屋量大增七成。
However according to actual data if the supply of public housing today follows what she says which is 75 000 public housing units within five years the demand from the current 150 000 applications will be met . At the same time however some 20 000 private units on average must be built each year in the next five years which means an increase of 70 % over the housing production of the earlier time
這說法正正點出整個置業階梯的最重要一點，就是現時無法負擔買樓的人將可買到樓，而以往私人市場或私人發展商不願意興建太多樓，也許由於與當時的政府不咬弦，但現時私人市場、私人發展商會願意興建很多私樓。
This statement highlights the most important point of the housing ladder which is that the people who cannot afford to buy a home now will be able to buy one in the future and that the private market or private developers who were reluctant to build too many housing units in the past probably because they were not getting along with the Government well are willing to build a great many private flats now
可是，在這系列說法背後，其實有一個重要假設，就是假設我們每年平均最少有3.5%經濟增長，以及香港人在經濟發展下不會被解僱。
However there is an important assumption behind this series of statements which is that we have at least 3.5 % annual economic growth on average and Hong Kong people will not lose their jobs in economic development
不論是"綠置居"或"首置"，現時如果市民買入單位，他便不能夠再申請公屋，意味着接下來10多年他也要繼續"捱貴租"租樓。
At present regardless of the Green Form Subsidised Home Ownership Scheme or the Starter Homes Scheme if they have purchased a home under these schemes they cannot return to apply for public housing and if anything happens they will have to suffer from expensive rent in the following 10 years or so in renting accommodation
"林鄭"當時的說法是，"大家要對香港經濟有信心"，但這句說話是相當侮辱香港人的智慧。
The argument given by Carrie LAM at that time was that we need to have confidence in Hong Kongs economy but this argument was an insult because it belittled the wisdom of Hong Kong people
大家也知道，環球經濟、區域經濟正面對我們想象不到的泡沫。
Everyone knows that the global and regional economies are facing a bubble that is unimaginable to us
這是現實考慮，但更基本的一點是，自從麥理浩時期的公屋政策以來，香港政府其實是慢慢邁向奉行全民或普及住屋權的理念。
This is a consideration of the actual situation but more importantly since the launching of the public housing policy of the MACLEHOSE era the Government of Hong Kong gradually inclined to pursuing the concept of universal housing rights or housing rights for the whole people
當然不是，這是大家都知道的。
We all know this too well
主席，"李生跑得快，一定有古怪"，這就是我認識的最容易理解的香港現況比喻。
President when Mr LI runs so fast something weird must have happened . This is the metaphor for Hong Kongs current situation one that I know and one that is the easiest for me to understand
房屋、民生如是，而最後一個例子就是優化管治，而這與教育和文化亦有關。
This is the situation of our housing and peoples livelihood . My final example is about the effort to enhance governance which is related to education and culture
回到優化管治部分，即現時這個辯論環節的主題。
Let me return to the effort to enhance governance which is the subject matter of this debate session
在剩下的5至10年，我只有一個寄語，希望旗幟鮮明的反對派或真正的香港人藉這幾年時間，要審慎和莊敬自強。
As for the remaining 5 to 10 years I only have one message I hope that the opposition camp with a clear stance or the real Hongkongers will take time in the next several years to act cautiously and remain solemn and dignified while seeking to strengthen themselves
主席，港珠澳大橋即將於明年通車，但有一個隱憂，令我感到非常憂慮。
President the HongKong - Zhuhai - Macao Bridge HZMB will soon inaugurate next year but there is a concern that worries me
大家試想象，當大橋通車後，本地香港居民可能會駕車到口岸停泊，然後再乘搭跨境車輛前往珠海或澳門，如果市民抵達口岸時，發覺沒有泊車 位，最簡單的做法是把車輛駛往東涌尋找泊車位。
Imagine after the commissioning of HZMB local Hong Kong residents may drive to HKP park their cars there and travel to Zhuhai or Macao by cross - boundary transport . If there is no parking spaces available at HKP the simplest alternative for the people is to drive the cars to Tung Chung in search for parking spaces
主席，我真的非常憂慮這問題，所以我不厭其煩地向運輸及房屋局局長和副局長再三表達我這個焦慮，希望他們一定要正視這問題。
President I am really worried about this issue so I have time and again expressed my concern to the Secretary for Transport and Housing and the Under Secretary in the hope that they will take this issue seriously
我們已多次表示，當局真要增加泊車位數目以解決這個問題。
In fact we have repeated many times that the authorities must increase the parking spaces there to solve the problem
主席，關於青嶼幹線收費的問題，我們同事陳恒鑌議員剛才已提出要求取消該項收費，由於時間關係，我在此不重複。
President as regards the tolls on the Lantau Link my fellow Member Mr CHAN Han - pan has just advised that the road should be toll free . I will not repeat the points here due to time constraints
我只想表達一點，現時大嶼山接駁香港和九龍市區只能依靠青嶼幹線，基本上，並沒有其他路線選擇，萬一發生事故，大家真的不知如何是好。
I just would like to point out that the Lantau Link is the only road connecting the Lantau and the urban areas in Hong Kong Island and Kowloon . Drivers basically have no alternative routes so in case of any accidents the situation will be difficult
所以，我認為長遠交通規劃方面，應該要有更多接駁市區的道路，我在此不作詳細闡述。
So in terms of long - term planning for transport the Government should plan more routes linking the Lantau with the urban areas . I am not going into detail in this regard
主席，我在這一節發言，是希望局方能夠聽取我們對港珠澳大橋整體運作的意見。
President I speak in this session with a view to urging the Bureau to heed our opinions on the overall operation of HZMB
稍後我會在其他環節再發言。
I will speak again in other sessions later
代理主席，我的發言會很短，因為我聽過多位非建制派的同事發言後，我要為特區政府說一句公道話。
Deputy President I will be brief . I wish to put a word in fairness for the SAR Government after having listened to a number of non - establishment Members just now
她有一些釋出善意的行動，其中有兩點她在如此短時間內也願意做，我覺得真的是釋出善意。
She has taken actions that are considered a gesture of goodwill . Among others two of the things she has done within a very short period of time to me show her goodwill
第一是補選，大家也知道，如果特區政府進行一次補選，建制派會取回部分議席，這是人所共知，大家也懂得計算。
One is about the by - election . We all know that the pro - establishment camp will be able to fill some vacancies if the SAR Government will only conduct one by - election . We are clear about this point as we can do the calculation
第二是今次的施政報告實在放入很多非建制派或泛民的意見，這是令我有一點眼紅的，莫乃光議員說他提出了10項意見，特首接收了8項，我提出的也沒有接收得如此多。
Second the Policy Address this year has adopted many views from the non - establishment camp or the pan - democrats . I am a little jealous indeed . Mr Charles Peter MOK says that 8 out of his 10 proposals have been adopted by the Chief Executive
張超雄議員也說他以前帶罕見疾病兒童去遞信，只有保安人員接信。
My adopted proposals are less than his . Dr Fernando CHEUNG says that when he accompanied children with uncommon diseases to submit petition letters to the Government in the past only security officers would come out to receive the letters
再者，我覺得普選是要進行的，盡量看看氣氛是否可以進行，現屆政府現在願意釋出善意，看看不同黨派是否樂見這點。
Moreover I hold that we should press ahead with the work of universal suffrage and try our best to assess whether the social atmosphere is suitable for doing so
因為我個人覺得，如果今屆沒有機會推行政改的話，即使下一個5年的特區政府願意做，但其時回歸已30年。
Given that the current - term Government is willing to show its goodwill and invite different political parties and groups to express views on this matter I personally think that if a constitutional reform is not taken forward during this Government term and even if the next SAR Government is willing to initiate a constitutional reform in its five - year term by that time it would be the 30 year after the reunification
代理主席，即是說如果本屆特區政府無法起動政改，即使可在下一屆起動，首次選舉也要在回歸 第三十五年，才可產生一位由全民普選的特首。
Deputy President that is to say if the current - term SAR Government cannot kick start the constitutional reform and even if the next SAR Government will do so the first election of the Chief Executive by universal suffrage would have to be held on the 35 year after the reunification
所以，我期望政府和不同黨派的人能製造較好的氣氛，可在本屆政府後期啟動政改方案。
I thus hope that the Government together with different political parties and groups can create a harmonious atmosphere so that it can kick start the discussion on a constitutional reform package in the latter half of its term
然而，有一些司法事務改革仍有待處理，其中之一是在香港引入集體訴訟。
Having said that I must add that some judicial reforms are still pending one of which is the introduction of a class action regime to Hong Kong
代理主席，這方面的最早期工作其實是在2012年，法律改革委員會就集體訴訟作出了一份內容很詳細的報告。
Deputy President the earliest effort in this respect is the Law Reform Commissions very exhaustive report on class actions in 2012
其後，在2013年2月至2017年3月，有關的工作小組共進行了17次會議，並在其轄下成立小組委員會，專門解決技術問題，而小組委員會在2014年4月至2017年2月間亦舉行了24次會議。
Subsequently the working group concerned held a total of 17 meetings between February 2013 and March 2017 . The working group also set up a subcommittee with sole responsibility for sorting out various technical problems . This subcommittee convened 24 meetings between April 2014 and February 2017
代理主席，我明白關於集體訴訟的法律草擬工作的確涉及很多技術細節，正如我在司法及法律事務委員會會議上指出，我對這方面的情況表示理解。
Deputy President I do understand that law drafting on class actions involves many technical complexities . I can appreciate the situation as I remarked at meetings of the Panel on Administration of Justice and Legal Services
但是，畢竟已過了接近4年，如果連具體的處理時間表也仍然欠奉，即使律政司告訴我們會引進集體訴訟，可能也只聞樓梯響，未見得能有甚麼幫助。
But then four years have already passed so I do not think it is quite so good if not even a specific timetable is available . Even though the Department of Justice assures us of its intention of introducing a class action regime its assurance may just be empty talks and cannot be of any help
就此方面，我們希望政府可進一步盡快向我們交代有關的工作進度。
We hope that the Government can tell us more about the progress of work in this regard as soon as possible
集體訴訟有好處亦有風險，好處當然是可以有效降低小苦主在訟費方面的承擔，也可節省法庭的時間。
A class action regime can bring both benefits and risks . One benefit is that it can effectively relieve the litigation costs borne by victims and save court time
試想一想，不同苦主不斷重複就同一事項進行相同申索，其實也增加了法庭的負荷，對被告人亦有欠公道。
We can imagine that if different victims separately file identical claims regarding one single matter the Courts burden will increase and this is not fair to the defendant either
集體訴訟也可令苦主不會因為害怕財雄勢大的財團有豐富資源，而不敢採取法律行動討回公道。
With class actions victims need have no fear of the huge financial resources of large consortia and they will not be deterred from seeking justice through litigation
可是，這當然亦有風險，就是有機會引發更多訴訟，鼓勵訴訟。
But there is of course one risk the risk of triggering more litigations and encouraging the instigation of lawsuits
不過，無論如何，我相信這些正在討論的好處和壞處均應盡快讓公眾知悉，所以希望政府可盡快向我們交代處理引入集體訴訟的工作的進度，以便我們可以作出跟進。
Anyway I think the public should know of all these pros and cons as soon as possible . I therefore hope that the Government can tell us the progress of its work on introducing a class action regime as soon as possible so that we can follow up on the issue
代理主席，以下一段發言需要以英文進行。
Deputy President I need to speak in English in the following part of my speech
她說："一起同行擁抱希望分享快樂"，又說"一國兩制"是"行得通、辦得到、得人心"。
She says We Connect for Hope and Happiness and that one country two systems is a workable solution and an achievable goal welcomed by the people
於是施政綱領便說要讓所有生活在香港的人都感覺幸福、有希望，相信香港是個有發展、公義、法治、安全、富足、仁愛和管治得宜的城市。
Hence it is stated in the Policy Agenda that the Governments vision is to build Hong Kong into a metropolis with happiness and hope where the residents are assured of prosperity justice rule of law safety affluence compassion and good governance
許多"林鄭"、曾蔭權及梁振英之流均經常提及甚麼有很多機遇、大灣區、"一帶一路"等。
People like Carrie LAM Donald TSANG and LEUNG Chun - ying often talk about the abundance of opportunities the Bay Area and the Belt and Road Initiative etc
這個政府真的無微不至，這就是市民所看到由本屆政府開創的局面。
This Government is really so very caring in every way . Well this is how the current Government has started
"林鄭"早前到港台接受訪問，她很聰明地說："本屆政府開局甚艱難，每件事都與我無關，包括褫奪議員資格一事與我無關，'一地兩檢'的安排也與我無關"。
During an RTHK interview earlier on Carrie LAM made these clever remarks The current Government has a very difficult start . In fact I have nothing to do with all those issues such as the disqualification of Legislative Council Members and the co - location arrangement
我們看到的就是，現時的情況比之前更糟糕，因為"十九大"之後，國內的形勢令香港的處境越來越艱難，我們作為香港人越來越感到沒有希望，因為"十九大"奠定了習近平永垂不朽的地位。
The present situation is even worse than that before because the situation in the Mainland after the 19 National Congress of the Communist Party of China has made the situation in Hong Kong much tougher than before . We Hong Kong people feel increasingly hopeless because the 19 National Congress of the Communist Party of China has sort of immortalized the status of XI Jinping
但是，1984年簽署的《中英聯合聲明》，以及隨後的《基本法》可不是這樣說。
However neither the Sino - British Joint Declaration signed in 1984 nor the subsequently enacted Basic Law says so
《基本法》清楚訂明"一國兩制"、"港人治港"、"高度自治"，這些亦非新鮮說法。
Actually the Basic Law clearly provides for the concepts of one country two systems Hong Kong people ruling Hong Kong and a high degree of autonomy which are nothing new at all
大家也知道中華人民共和國建國沒多久，已不止一次有機會可以收回香港，即如1949年中共建國之初，甚至六七暴動時，中國差點便可以取回香港，但國家並沒有這樣做，因為明白香港有其存在價值。
We all know that soon after its establishment the Peoples Republic of China PRC had the opportunity more than once of taking back Hong Kong meaning that the PRC could almost have taken back Hong Kong during the early years after its establishment in 1949 or even during the 1967 riots . Nevertheless the State did not proceed as it understood Hong Kongs value of existence
整體來說，我支持政府在施政報告內有關環境和保育等議題的方向，但我想再進一步論述4個項目，包括氣候變化、空氣質素、減廢回收和水質問題。
Overall I agree to the general direction in the Governments Policy Address relating to subjects like the environment and conservation etc . However I would like to further talk about four subjects including climate change air quality waste reduction and recycling and water quality
施政報告強調實踐低碳轉型，包括採用更潔淨能源。
The Policy Address emphasizes on achieving low - carbon transformation which includes adopting cleaner fuels
我認同發展可再生能源對於減緩氣候變化、減低對燃燒化石燃料的依賴及提高香港能源自主尤其重要。
I agree that the development of renewable energy is particularly important to slow down climate change reduce our reliance on fossil fuels and strengthen Hong Kongs energy independence
可是，政府過去在《香港氣候行動藍圖2030+》報告中，提到估計由現時至2030年間，香港實現可再生能源的潛力約為3%至4%。
However as the Government estimated previously in Hong Kongs Climate Action Plan 2030 Hong Kong has a 3 % to 4 % potential in realizing the use of renewable energy between now and 2030
我對於這個目標是有點失望。
I am a bit disappointed about such a target
雖然政府當局曾不斷向我解釋，指由於地理環境和氣候問題等，香港可發展的再生能源只有太陽能，但政府現時除了在水塘上試驗浮動太陽板發電系統外，其實亦可積極研究在其他公共設施上發展太陽能發電的可能性，包括利用有蓋天橋上蓋、復修堆填區或岩石坡等空間發展太陽能。
Though the Government has repeatedly explained to me that owing to geographical and climate factors the only form of renewable energy available in Hong Kong is solar energy yet apart from the pilot test of floating photovoltaic systems on reservoirs the Government can in fact actively study the possibility for developing solar energy on spaces in other public facilities including covers of footbridges restored landfills or rock slopes
雖然政府在再生能源的指標或目標上令我有點失望，但值得高興的是，政府準備在下年度10月推行上網電價計劃，以推廣分布式可再生能源為目標。
Although the Government has rather disappointed me for setting such a target or objective on renewable energy I am glad that the Government is preparing to introduce a feed - in traffic scheme next October targeting to promote distributed renewable energy
我希望政府當局屆時可與兩電達成有效及公平的電費調整機制，以釋除公眾對上網電價出現"交叉補貼"的疑慮。
I hope the Government can reach an agreement with the two power companies on an effective and fair tariff adjustment mechanism to allay public concern about cross - subsidy on feed - in tariff rate
我想轉換話題，討論空氣質素。
I will then shift the topic to air quality
香港每年因路邊空氣污染而死亡的人數，一直位居於珠三角地區前列，但我不明白為何今年施政報告毫無篇幅提到推動電動車，反而在2017-2018年度的財政預算案中，也有大幅減低電動車首次登記稅。
The number of deaths caused by roadside air pollution in Hong Kong each year has always topped other regions in the Pearl River Delta yet I have no idea why the Policy Address this year has not mentioned the promotion of electric vehicles at all . But then the Government announced a substantial first registration tax concession for electric vehicles in the 2017 - 2018 Budget
因此，我認為政府必須重新考慮恢復電動私家車首次登記稅的全數豁免。
Therefore I believe the Government must reconsider resuming the full waiver for first registration tax for electric private vehicles
除了稅務優惠外，電動車配套措施也是消費者選購私家車的重要考慮因素。
On top of tax concession the provision of ancillary facilities for electric vehicles is another major factor behind consumers decision on private car purchase
因此，政府必須提升及擴充現有的電動車充電設施網絡，令充電更方便快捷。
So the Government must improve and expand the current charging network for electric vehicles to make charging more convenient
我在兩星期前參與維港泳，亦會肯定政府在清潔維港及進行水質改善工程上的工作成果。
Two weeks ago I took part in the Harbour Race . I recognize the Governments achievements in cleaning up the harbour and improving water quality
可是，我希望政府亦要注視另一個國際社會相當關注的問題，就是微膠粒。
But I wish the Government to pay attention to another topical problem in the international community that is the problem of microplastics
早前有研究指出，多個國家的食水樣本均驗出含有微膠粒，但施政報告對微膠粒污染並無着墨，可能這是因為有關項目只剛處於萌芽階段。
Earlier studies have shown that samples of fresh water in many countries worldwide contain microplastics . However the Policy Address has said nothing about microplastics pollution . I guess it is because the issue is still at the initial stage
攝取微膠粒的確會有健康風險，政府必須正視微膠粒對海洋和食水系統的污染問題。
Absorbing microplastics indeed poses health risks so the Government should seriously handle microplastic pollution in the sea and the fresh water system
我建議政府短期內於香港水域全面化驗微膠粒，以定期監察本港海洋的微膠粒污染情況。
As an interim response I suggest the Government to comprehensively conduct tests for microplastics in Hong Kongs waters in order to regularly monitor microplastic pollution
最後，我想討論減廢回收問題。
At last I would like to discuss waste reduction and recovery
都市固體廢物按量收費雖是政府的重點減廢計劃，但我們亦必須有完善的回收制度和措施配合，才可真正成功做到源頭減廢。
Although the quantity - based municipal solid waste charging system is a major waste reduction programme rolled out by the Government we must have in place a complete recovery system and corresponding measures to truly achieve waste reduction at source
因此，對於廢物徵費收入的運用，我希望政府會把徵費收入全數用於推動回收業和環保工業，以進一步完善香港的廢物管理政策。
So with regard to the use of levy income from solid waste charging I hope the Government can spend all the income on developing the recovery and environmental industries so as to further optimize Hong Kongs waste management policy
更重要是，內地近日收緊廢物進口政策，直接影響本港回收業的發展，對本港回收業而言，這是一大挑戰。
More importantly the Mainland has tighten up waste import which has directly affected the development of the local recovery sector posing a huge challenge to the practitioners
