視乎將來電子支付的發展、市民的習慣和選擇，我們會留意這種支付方式對現金流等各方面的影響；如有需要，我們當然會採取相應措施。
Having regard to the future development of electronic payment as well as the peoples habits and choices we will pay attention to the impact of this means of payment on various aspects such as cash flow . If necessary we will certainly adopt corresponding initiatives
主席，相信很多市民像我一樣，非常期待快速支付系統早日投入服務，令香港的金融科技邁進一大步。
President I believe many members of the public like me are looking forward to the early commencement of FPS which will enable Fintech in Hong Kong to make a great stride forward
市民屆時只需要一部手機，便可隨時隨地進行跨銀行結帳。
By then members of the public will only need a mobile phone for inter - bank settlements which can be conducted anytime anywhere
從目前看來，這系統只會應用於零售層面和個人與個人之間的小額轉帳，但我們預期電子支付或轉帳的方式會越來越普遍。
In view of the present situation this system will only apply to small fund transfers at the retail level and between peers but we expect electronic payment or transfers will become increasingly popular
由於股市暢旺，股民越來越多，請問這系統是否也可用作證券買賣結帳？
Given the vibrant stock market with an increasing number of shareholders may I ask if this system can be used for the settlement of securities trading?
主席，多謝議員關注系統在證券市場等方面的使用情況。
President I thank the Honourable Member for his concern about the usage of the system in such arenas as the securities market
我們剛才也提到，煤氣公司、電力公司和政府的帳單均設有條碼作繳費之用。
As we also mentioned just now Towngas electricity and government bills carry barcodes for payment purpose
就質詢的3個部分，在徵詢公務員事務局和勞工及福利局後，我現回覆如下： 一 港協暨奧委會是國際奧林匹克委員會和亞洲奧林匹克理事會的成員，負責推廣本地體育，宣揚奧林匹克精神，為體育界的行政人員、教練及技術人員提供培訓課程，亦負責甄選香港運動員參與大型國際性綜合項目運動會，例如奧林匹克運動會、亞洲運動會等。
Having consulted the Civil Service Bureau and the Labour and Welfare Bureau my reply to the three parts of the question is as follows 1 SFOC is a member of the International Olympic Committee and the Olympic Council of Asia . In addition to developing local sports promoting Olympism and providing training programmes to administrative executives coaches and technicians in the sports sector SFOC is responsible for selecting Hong Kong athletes to compete in major international multi - sport events such as the Olympic Games and the Asian Games
港協暨奧委會轄下的79個體育總會大部分是附屬於相關的國際體育聯會和亞洲體育聯會，是參與相關體育項目全國性及國際性賽事的本地正式代表，負責組織及管理所屬體育項目的本地活動，包括甄選運動員參加有關賽事，例如世界錦標賽及亞洲錦標賽等。
There are 79 NSAs under the SFOC . Most of them are affiliated to their respective International Federation and Asian Federation . NSAs officially represent Hong Kong in national and international sports competitions and are responsible for managing local activities relating to their respective sports including the selection of athletes to participate in competitions such as World Championship and Asian Championship
至於甄選殘疾運動員參加殘疾人奧林匹克運動會、亞洲殘疾人運動會等賽事，則由香港殘疾人奧委會暨傷殘人士體育協會負責。
The HKPCSAPD is responsible for selecting disabled athletes to participate in competitions such as the Paralympic Games and the Asian Para Games
據了解，香港運動員每年參加超過500項於內地及海外舉行的不同項目和規模的比賽，每年涉及的運動員數以千計。
Hong Kong athletes take part in more than 500 Mainland and overseas competitions of various sports and scales each year . Thousands of athletes are involved . The numbers of athletes participating in major national and international multi - sport events in the past three years are listed below for reference Name of sporting event Number of full - time athletes Number of non - full - time athletes 1
民政事務局已制訂相關指引供各部門及職系參考。
The Home Affairs Bureau has drawn up the relevant guideline as reference for departments and grades
如果個別部門或職系在自行審批有關特許缺勤的申請時有任何疑問，可以徵詢民政事務局的意見。
They may seek the Home Affairs Bureaus advice should they have any questions in processing applications for such authorized absence
獲選代表香港出席全國性或國際性體育賽事的隊員或職員可向其所屬部門或職系申請有關特許缺勤，而部門或職系首長可根據《公務員事務規例》第1111條自行審批，政府沒有相關個案的整全數字。
Officers selected as a member or an official of a team representing Hong Kong in a national or international sporting event may apply to their individual departments or grades for such authorized absence; and a Head of Department or Head of Grade may process these cases by himself or herself under section 1111 of CSR . The Government does not collate statistics on these cases
僱員如在與僱主雙方協議的情況下缺勤，其僱傭合約的連續性亦不會因缺勤而受影響。
Employees absent from work under mutual agreement with their employers would not have the continuity of their employment contracts affected by the absence
任何透過立法方式增加僱傭福利的建議，均須顧及本港的社會及經濟情況，和取得社會各界的共識，以確保建議能適當地照顧僱員的利益及僱主的承擔能力。
Any proposal to enhance employees benefits through legislative means must take into account the socio - economic situation of Hong Kong and requires a consensus in the community to ensure that the proposal has suitably taken care of the interests of the employees and the capability of the employers
政府會繼續透過宣傳及推廣，鼓勵僱主採納"以僱員為本"的良好人事管理措施，並因應機構的能力，推行關愛僱員的僱傭措施，向他們提供優於法例的僱傭福利，例如按僱員需要批予特許缺勤等，以吸引及挽留人才。
The Government will continue to encourage through promotion and publicity employers to adopt employee - oriented good personnel management practices introduce employee - caring employment measures and to provide employees with benefits above the statutory requirements such as provision of authorized absence based on individual employees needs according to their establishments capabilities so as to attract and retain talents
主席，我對政府主體答覆的第三部分感到失望。
President I am disappointed by part 3 of the Governments main reply
可是，我們會採用鼓勵的方式。
However we will adopt an approach of encouragement
事實上，現時在社會上也有一些機構提供這方面的方便，讓僱主與僱員達成默契。
In fact some organizations in the community presently have also put in place facilitating arrangements in this regard to enable employers and employees to arrive at a better mutual understanding
我們會繼續以這種鼓勵的方式，希望僱主能夠給予特許缺勤，讓運動員或其他方面的朋友均可到海外表達香港的使命。
We will continue to adopt this approach of encouragement in the hope that employers can grant authorized absence to athletes or people in other areas to go overseas to fulfil their mission for Hong Kong
主席，對於局長剛才主體答覆的第三部分，我仍然感到很失望。
President concerning part 3 of the main reply given by the Secretary just now I am still feeling very disappointed
事實上，這些非全職運動員一方面要為香港爭光，另一方 面也要顧及個人的工作，而我認為他們的貢獻未能得到很明確的認同。
In fact on the one hand these non - full - time athletes hope to win glory for Hong Kong whereas on the other hand they have to take care of their personal working life and I think their contribution has not won clear recognition
局長剛才表示要依靠僱主或已經推行一些措施來鼓勵僱主，但我認為這種鼓勵實際上是遠遠不足夠的。
The Secretary said just now that it was up to employers to take measures or some measures had already been taken to incentivize employers but I think this type of encouragement is far from adequate
當然，立法是較為複雜的問題，我不會贊成立即立法，但如何體現這種鼓勵呢？
Of course legislation is a more complex issue and I do not agree with enacting legislation immediately but how can this kind of encouragement be manifested?
例如是否有可能向支持運動員為香港作出貢獻的僱主提供一些支援呢？
For example is it possible to provide some backing to employers who support athletes in making contribution to Hong Kong?
例如可否提供類似基金或其他形式的支援供他們申請，作為公司因為須作出一些承擔而可獲得的補償呢？
For example can support in the form of a fund or other forms be made available for their application so that these companies can receive compensations for making certain commitments?
我認為整體而言，這也不算是一個大數目，特別是對中小企而言，如果有這些支援，我相信很多僱主也會願意作出這種安排。
I believe that on the whole the amount would not be very large but for small and medium enterprises in particular many employers will be willing to make this kind of arrangements if this kind of support is available
我想問政府，有關的鼓勵措施可否具體地表現出來，以便較容易地執行和體現呢？
May I ask the Government if the incentives can be expressed in concrete ways so that they can be implemented and manifested more easily?
首先，我十分高興馬議員也同意，如果採用立法方式作硬性規定，是會有一定難度的。
First I am very pleased to note that Mr MA also agrees that there will be some difficulty if rigid provisions are to be laid down by way of legislation
但是，對於採用何種方式給予鼓勵，我們也是樂意參考的。
However as regards what approaches should be adopted to provide encouragement we will be happy to draw reference from all of them
主席，當然，政府在現階段可能並不想立法，但事實上，現時《公務員事務規例》也有相關的安排。
President of course the Government may not want to enact legislation at this stage but in fact this kind of arrangement can also be found in CSR
主席，我已經指出，香港現時在體育項目方面，以及很多運動員也在外地為香港爭取到好成績，我們對此是非常鼓勵 的。
President I have pointed out that in respect of sporting events many athletes have achieved very good results overseas for Hong Kong and we feel very much encouraged by this
香港是個細小的外向型經濟，在今天全球化的大環境下特別容易受到這種影響，政府因而認為有需要採取需求管理措施。
As a small and externally - oriented economy Hong Kong is particularly susceptible to such influences in todays globalized environment . The Government thus finds it necessary to implement demand - side management measures
有議員剛才提到一約多伙的問題。
A Member brought up just now the problem of buyers purchasing multiple new homes under a single contract
其實，政府在2017年4月11日已宣布，收緊新住宅印花稅機制下為香港永久居民提供豁免的安排，以免有本地買家透過一約多伙的方式迴避新住宅印花稅。
In fact the Government announced on 11 April 2017 the tightening of the exemption arrangements made for Hong Kong permanent residents under the stamp duty mechanism for new homes to stop local buyers from evading the New Residential Stamp Duty by purchasing multiple homes with a single contract
因應剛才議員的發言，我想簡單介紹以下數項沒有修正案的條文，並懇請委員支持將這些條文納入《2017年印花稅條例草案》。
In respond to the speeches made by Members just now I wish to explain briefly the following clauses with no amendment and implore Members support for these clauses to stand part of the Stamp Duty Amendment Bill 2017 the Bill
第1條─生效日期 鑒於物業市場對價格變動非常敏感，與其他需求管理措施一樣，新住宅印花稅措施須於公布後立即生效，以確保在新措施公布後至《條例草案》刊憲期間，沒有人可從中獲利。
Clause 1―Commencement Given the price - sensitive nature of the property market the New Residential Stamp Duty as in the cases of other demand - side management measures must take immediate effect upon its announcement so as to ensure that no one can profit from the period between the announcement of the new measure and the gazettal of the Bill
因此，《條例草案》建議新措施當作由2016年11月5日起生效，即政府於2016年11月4日公布新措施的翌日。
For this reason the Bill proposes that the New Residential Stamp Duty be deemed to have taken effect on 5 November 2016 the day immediately following the announcement on 4 November 2016
稅務局會記錄2016年11月5日至《2017年印花稅條例》刊憲當日這段期間的所有住宅物業交易，並於《修訂條例》刊憲後發出通知書提醒有關人士繳納少付的印花稅稅款。
The Inland Revenue Department will record all the property transactions between 5 November 2016 and the date on which the Stamp Duty Amendment Ordinance is gazetted . Reminders to demand stamp duty underpaid will be issued after the gazettal of the Amendment Ordinance
第2條─修訂《印花稅條例》 第2條為技術性條文，表明修訂《印花稅條例》的方式列於《條例草案》第3至10條。
Clause 2―Stamp Duty Ordinance amended Clause 2 is a technical provision stipulating that the Stamp Duty Ordinance is amended as set out in sections 3 to 10 of the Bill
第3至4條─技術性修訂 第3至4條也屬技術性修訂，轉移某些現有條文的位置，使相關釋義適用於整項《印花稅條例》。
Clauses 3 and 4―Technical amendments Clauses 3 and 4 are also technical amendments that transpose certain provisions to the effect that the relevant interpretations apply to the entire Ordinance
法案委員會對這些技術性修訂並無異議。
The Bills Committee on Stamp Duty Amendment Bill 2017 raised no objection to these technical amendments
坦白說，《條例草案》只提供規管本港旅遊業發展的一個框架，勞工界議員關注的很多關於業界權益的問題，例如導遊及領隊的牌照、墊支費用及強迫購物的責任等，均要由未來的附屬法例以至成立後的旅遊業監管局以行政措施處理。
To be honest the Bill provides merely a framework for regulating Hong Kongs travel industry . As for the many issues that members representing the labour sector have been concerned about such as licensing of tourist guides and tour escorts reimbursements for advanced payments and liabilities arising from coerced shopping etc they have to be addressed through subsidiary legislations and administrative measures enforced by the future Travel Industry Authority TIA upon its establishment
旅監局的成員及上訴委員會的成員，全數由政府委任，以致立法會的旅遊界代表亦不一定必然成為旅監局的成員，這是《條例草案》不明朗的地方。
Since members of TIA and the Appeal Panel will be appointed by the Government the Member representing the tourism industry may not necessary become a member of TIA . This is an uncertainty of the Bill
即使存在眾多不明朗的地方，我仍看到《條例草案》的一些改進的措施。
Even if there are still many uncertainties I still think that the Bill contains a number of improvement measures
站在勞工的立場來說，如何保障業內的前線員工的權益至為重要。
From the workers perspective how to safeguard the interests of frontline staff is of vital importance
不同的勞工組織各有自見，但經過與政府的多番角力和周旋後，政府建議旅行社必須為行業的領隊和導遊於出團時購買保險，無疑是向前走了一步。
While there were divergent views among different labour organizations after much arm - wrestling and manoeuvres with labour organizations the Government has proposed that travel agents must take out insurance for tour escorts and tourist guides before the departure of package tours . This is undoubtedly a step forward
我曾經諮詢港九勞工社團聯會屬下的香港導遊總工會，他們支持政府的建議，認為這是在爭議之中找到一個平衡點。
I have consulted the Hong Kong Tour Guides General Union under the Federation of Hong Kong and Kowloon Labour Unions and learnt that they support the Governments proposal as they find that a balance has been struck in the dispute
實際上，更有效規管旅遊業的發展實在刻不容緩。
As a matter of fact the effective regulation of the development of the travel industry is a pressing task
在港珠澳大橋通車後，東涌頓時成為香港旅遊的熱點，當中的旅行團良莠不齊，大量旅客湧至東涌，嚴重騷擾了居民的生活。
With the commissioning of the Hong Kong - Zhuhai - Macao Bridge Tung Chung has become a hot spot for visitors . The varying standards of tour groups and the sudden influx of visitors have caused much nuisance to local residents
隨着香港連接內地基建竣工，不難想象會有更多內地旅客來港觀光購物，香港必須有更完善的政策，規管旅遊業的發展。
With the completion of infrastructures connecting Hong Kong to the Mainland it is not difficult to envisage an increase in Mainland visitors coming to Hong Kong for sightseeing and shopping . Hong Kong must formulate a more effective policy to regulate the development of the travel industry
我支持《條例草案》的通過，但同時建議政府設下確實的檢討日期，以檢視有關領隊導遊保險政策的成效，而一些有關旅遊業僱員的權益，我亦希望在未來的附屬法例中，政府能有所關顧。
While I support the passage of the Bill I suggest that the Government should fix date for reviewing the effectiveness of insurance policies for tourist guides and tour escorts and I hope that the Government will give more regard to the interests of employees in the travel industry when enacting subsidiary legislation in future
主席，我謹以《2018年公司條例草案》委員會主席的身份，向本會提交法案委員會的報告，並匯報法案委員會工作的重點。
President in my capacity as Chairman of the Bills Committee on Companies Amendment Bill 2018 I would like to present the report of the Bills Committee to the Council and report on the key areas of work of the Bills Committee
《2018年公司條例草案》。
Companies Amendment Bill 2018
本會現在成為全體委員會，審議《2018年公司條例草案》。
Council now becomes committee of the whole Council to consider the Companies Amendment Bill 2018
本會恢復《旅遊業條例草案》的二讀辯論。
This Council resumes the Second Reading debate on the Travel Industry Bill
條例草案委員會主席姚思榮議員先就委員會報告，向本會發言。
Mr YIU Si - wing Chairman of the Bills Committee on the Bill will first address the Council on the Committees Report
我宣布修正案獲得通過。
I declare the motion passed . I now deal with the clauses with amendments
我現在向各位提出的待決議題是：秘書剛讀出經修正的條文納入本條例草案。贊成的請舉手。反對的請舉手。
The Secretary will move amendments to amend the clauses just read out by the Clerk
剛才有同事說過，政府早在2011年，已開始就檢討香港旅遊業的運作和規管架構諮詢公眾。
Just now a fellow colleague said that the Government commenced as early as 2011 a public consultation on the review of the operation and regulatory framework of Hong Kongs travel industry
經全面考慮所有意見後，政府決定成立旅監局，並且制定新法例，規定監管機構的權力、組成，亦訂立了一套規則來規管旅行社、導遊及領隊的發牌制度，以及對香港旅遊業作出整體規管，希望提升行業的質素、促進旅遊業的健康及長遠發展。
Upon comprehensive consideration of all the views the Government decided to establish TIA and formulate a new legislation to provide for the powers and composition of the regulatory body and formulate a set of rules to regulate the licensing regime for travel agents tourist guides and tour escorts as well as to regulate Hong Kongs travel industry in a holistic manner with a view to enhancing the quality of the trade and promoting healthy and long - term development of the industry
《條例草案》是一個很好的例子，證明香港立法的步伐確實太慢。
The Bill is a very good example to prove that Hong Kong is indeed too slow in its legislative pace
在這情況下，政府為甚麼仍需要花8年多才能制定《條例草案》呢？
Under such circumstances why did the Government still take over eight years to draft the Bill?
我希望藉着這個機會，促請政府好好檢討。
I wish to take this opportunity to urge the Government for a due review
邱騰華局長，你擔任環境局局長時，相信也沒想過，在8年後成為商務及經濟發展局局長時，要接手處理《條例草案》，這確實令人費解。
Secretary Edward YAU when you were the Secretary for the Environment I trust you have never thought about having to take over to deal with the Bill after becoming the Secretary for Commerce and Economic Development eight years later . This is indeed perplexing
方案一，保留雙軌規管制度，改革香港旅遊業議會，並訂明其公共組織的角色。
Option 1 was to retain the current two - tier regulatory regime reform the Travel Industry Council of Hong Kong TIC and specify its role as a public association
方案二，把旅議會部分規管職能轉至政府部門。
Option 2 was to transfer certain regulatory functions from TIC to a government department
這方案還可令旅議會更能繼續代表業界，亦可以向政府和相關機構反映意見。
This option could even allow TIC to continue representing the trade and reflect opinions to the Government and relevant bodies
不過，當年提出這項方案時，諮詢文件指方案三涉及立法和修改旅議會《組織章程大綱及細則》，估計可在兩年半內把法案提交立法會，修改旅議會章程則需時6個至9個月，但可以同期進行。
Nevertheless when this option was proposed back then the consultation document pointed out that the implementation of Option 3 required amendments to legislation and TICs Memorandum and Articles of Association MAA and it was expected that a bill could be introduced into the Legislative Council in about two and a half years while the amendments to TICs MAA would take six to nine months and the two amendments might be pursued concurrently
此外，委任機構成員，招聘辦事處職員等籌備工作，可能需時大約半年至1年。
In addition preparatory work such as the appointment of board members and recruitment of office staff might take about six months to one year
但即使如此，2013年10月應可把法案提交立法會，到了2014年10月就可以修改章程，然後在2015年10月前就可以正式開始監管。
Notwithstanding a bill could be introduced into the Legislative Council in October 2013 and amendment of MAA could be made in October 2014; consequently regulation could formally commence before October 2015
方案四，由政府部門取代旅議會負責規管。
Option 4 was to set up a government department to take over from TIC and be responsible for regulation
我相信不是這麼簡單的，也沒有這種可能性，因為旅監局所監管的，是導遊和領隊是否領有牌照、他們的操守是否能夠接受。
I trust it is not so simple and may not be possible . This is because TIA regulates the licensing of tourist guides and tour escorts and the suitability of their conducts
當然，我們希望這個新的監管機構，可以向領隊發出清楚的指引，將旅行團對社區的影響減至最低。
Certainly we hope this new regulatory body can issue clear guidelines to tour escorts so as to minimize the impacts caused to the community by tour groups
當然，我是一名外行人，不知道指引能否做到減輕旅行團為社會所帶來的影響，特別是一些十分負面的影響。
Surely as a layman I do not know if the guidelines can alleviate the impacts especially negative impacts on society posed by tour groups
過去旅議會沒有執法權，因而一直被人詬病監管不力，或即使看到有問題，也無法處理。
TIC had no enforcement power in the past so it has all along been criticized for its ineffective regulation or its incapability to handle problems identified
所以，我們希望設立旅監局後，日後可以杜絕這些情況，最少令旅行團對社區帶來的負面影響減至最低。
Therefore we hope that upon the establishment of TIA such situations can be eradicated and at least the adverse impacts of tour groups on the community can be minimized
我唯有寄望這個新的監管機構，當中有業內人士、業外人士，也有熟悉如何運作這些監管機構的人士。
I can only place my hope on this new regulatory body
當然，我們明白世界各地有文化差異，一些行為在本地可以接受，但是在其他地方出現，會引起很大風波。
Certainly we understand that there are cultural differences around the world . While some acts are acceptable in Hong Kong they may cause an outcry elsewhere
主席，我發言支持政府就《旅遊業條例草案》提出的修正案。
President I speak in support of the Governments proposed amendments to the Travel Industry Bill the Bill
隨着時代變遷及互聯網高速發展，消費者不會只在旅行代理商的實體店購買旅遊產品，因此政府提出修正案，對於過往只針對實體店的《條例草案》作出改善，令網店等不同經營模式受政府監管，並要求牌照申請人提供更詳盡的資料。
With the changes of the times and the rapid development of the Internet consumers will not only purchase travel products from the physical stores of travel agents . Therefore the Government has proposed amendments to improve the Bill that only targeted physical stores in the past so that different business modes such as online shops will be regulated by the Government and license applicants are also required to provide more detailed information
眾所周知，網上購物近年在港成為趨勢，對熱愛旅行的香港人來說，無須親身報團或購買服務的網上旅行社，無疑更為方便，所以近年逐漸受到歡迎。
As we all know online shopping has lately become a trend in Hong Kong . For Hong Kong people who love to travel online travel agents that do not require people to sign up for tours or purchase services in person are undoubtedly more convenient; thus they have become increasingly popular in recent years
然而，不可忽視的是，部分網上旅行社在港沒有分店地址，因而無須領牌亦能夠經營，也無須受旅遊業監管局監管。
However it cannot be ignored that some online travel agents do not have branch addresses in Hong Kong so they can operate without a license and are not subject to the regulation of the Travel Industry Authority TIA
一旦該等旅行社不幸結業，曾向他們購買服務的消費者很大機會血本無歸。
Once these travel agents unfortunately close down it is very likely that the money of consumers who have purchased services from them will go down the drain
針對這個問題，政府提出的修正案將網上旅行社納入規管，要求該等旅行社亦要向旅監局申請旅行社牌照，相關要求與開設實體店的旅行社一致，消費者也會受到旅遊業賠償基金的保障。
To address this problem the Government has proposed amendments to regulate online travel agents and require these travel agents to apply for travel agency licences from TIA . The relevant requirements are the same as those for travel agents setting up physical stores and consumers are also protected under the Travel Industry Compensation Fund TICF
對於政府因應時移世易修訂《條例草案》，更好地保障消費者權益，我們表示非常歡迎，但我們希望政府能夠早日落實相關安排。
We welcome the Governments amendments to the Bill in keep abreast of the times so as to better protect consumer rights but we hope that the Government can make relevant arrangements as early as possible
至於該公司結業前向顧客銷售的旅遊套票及機票，就部分交易未能向消費者提供蓋有印花的收據，這事的確牽連甚廣。
However the consumers were not provided with stamped receipts for some transactions relating to travel packages and air tickets that were sold by the company to customers before its closure . This incident has wide - ranging impacts indeed
事件發生後，我多次連同受影響的苦主與政府部門溝通，要求政府盡力協助蒙受損失的消費者，並要求賠償基金向他們作出補償。
After the incident the affected victims and I repeatedly communicated with the government departments concerned and asked the Government to do its utmost to assist the consumers who suffered losses and demanded compensations to them under TICF
事 實上，法例過往欠缺靈活性，即使收據沒有蓋上印花，亦要符合"三中二"的要求才可獲賠償基金覆蓋。
In fact the ordinance lacked flexibility in the past even if the receipts were not stamped the cases would only be covered under TICF if the requirement of two out of three conditions was met
我今天想藉此機會感謝邱騰華局長、旅遊業賠償基金管理委員會主席林詩棋、旅行代理商註冊主任歐浩華及旅遊專員等，就此事件積極協調並與賠償基金溝通，研究如何拆牆鬆綁或特別處理，令這些苦主獲得一些補償。
I would like to take this opportunity today to thank Secretary Edward YAU Chairman of TICF Management Board Kevin LAM Registrar of Travel Agents Brendan AU and the Commissioner for Tourism for actively coordinating and communicating with TICF in respect of the incident and exploring how to remove barriers or provide special treatment to the victims so that they can receive some compensations
旅遊業賠償基金管理委員會最終接納了我的建議，信納柏茵已就交易繳付印花費，並在5月底決定，為購買了柏茵旅遊套票的消費者提供九成特惠補償，包括未持有印花收據的苦主。
TICF Management Board finally accepted my proposal and satisfied that Action Travel had paid stamp fees for the transactions . At the end of May it was decided to provide 90 % ex gratia compensation for consumers who bought Action Travel packages including those who did not have stamped receipts
所以，香港市民的新興旅遊模式，無法得到保障。
Therefore Hong Kong people who adopt the new travel mode will not be protected
所以，我支持政府提出的修正案，亦希望政府早日完成相關研究，盡快修訂《條例草案》，以解決購買單項旅遊產品的外遊旅客未能獲得保障的問題，更好地保障消費者的應有權益。
Therefore I support the amendments proposed by the Government and I also hope that the Government will complete the relevant studies and amend the Bill as soon as possible so as to solve the problem that outbound travellers who purchased single travel products will not be protected and to provide better protection to the rights and interests of consumers
謝偉俊議員，你是否想發言？
Mr Paul TSE do you wish to speak?
主席，根據《中華人民共和國禁止攜帶、郵寄進境的動植物及其產品名錄》，水生動物產品屬禁止攜帶或郵寄進境內地的物品。
President according to the Catalogue of Animals and Plants and Animal and Plant Products Prohibited from being Carried or Posted into the Peoples Republic of China aquatic animal products are prohibited from being carried or posted into the Mainland
據悉，近年本港海味業界的生意額下降，今年國慶長假期期間，內地旅客在本地海味店的消費額較去年同期下跌逾三成，估計與內地口岸執行《名錄》有關。
It is learnt that business turnover of the local dried seafood industry has dropped in recent years with the spending of Mainland travellers at local dried seafood shops during this years National Day long holidays dropping by more than 30 % as compared with that in the same period of last year
