我認為這與立法會議員的身份完全不相符，嚴重違反了他們宣誓效忠中華人民共和國和《基本法》的誓言，絕對不可視作等閒。
In my opinion those actions were totally inconsistent with their status as Legislative Council Members . In so doing they breached their oath of bearing allegiance to the Peoples Republic of China and the Basic Law . That cannot be taken lightly whatsoever
我同時希望警惕上述議員，雖然香港仍未就顛覆及分裂國家罪行立法，但絕不代表中央政府對"港獨"分子束手無策。
I would like to warn the aforesaid Members that although Hong Kong has yet to legislate for the offences of subversion and secession that does not mean the Central Government will let Hong Kong independence activists have their way and do nothing about it
我深信中央不會對"港獨"分子坐視不理，放任他們在香港搞"港獨"。
I am convinced that the Central Government will not just look on and let them engage in activities that promote Hong Kong independence as they wish
我希望這群議員會深刻自我反省，不要搬石頭砸自己的腳，亦不要做出傷害廣大市民利益的事。
I hope that these Members will reflect upon their actions and never do anything to jeopardize the interest of the general public which is no different to hitting their own feet with a rock
說到七一遊行的主題，今年竟然用到"一國兩制 呃足廿年；民主自治，重奪香港"這16個字。
When it comes to the theme of this years 1 July march they use such phrases as One country two systems a lie of 20 years; Democratic self - government retake Hong Kong
雖然表面上並沒有用上"港獨"或本土自決的字眼，但卻大力"唱衰""一國兩制"，與鼓吹"港獨"的言論相差不 遠。
Although they do not use words specifying Hong Kong independence or self - determination their active bad - mouthing of one country two systems is not much different from advocating Hong Kong independence
而且，有人更事先突襲金紫荊廣場，以黑布蓋着金紫荊銅像，極具挑釁意味，試問是誰在破壞"一國兩制"？
Moreover some people even raided the Golden Bauhinia Square before 1 July and covered the statue of the golden bauhinia with a piece of black cloth which was highly provocative . Who is actually jeopardizing one country two systems?
事實上，回歸20年，中央政府無時無刻都關心和支持我們，我想大家感受最深的，必然是在2003年SARS期間，當時香港仍未從亞洲金融風暴中復蘇，再加上世紀疫症，經濟陷入空前低谷。
As a matter of fact in the 20 years after the reunification the Central Government cares and supports us all the time . I guess the support rendered to us during the onslaught of SARS in 2003 was most impressive . At that time Hong Kong had not yet recovered from the Asian financial turmoil and coupled with the outbreak of the epidemic of the century the local economy was in the doldrums
當時多得中央政府出手相助，推出自由行和實施CEPA，與內地建立更緊密的經貿關係，才令香港的經濟迅速反彈，之後亦得以持續發展。
With the support of the Central Government the Individual Visit Scheme and CEPA were introduced to establish a closer commercial relationship with the Mainland and hence Hong Kongs economy was able to recover quickly and continue to develop
代理主席，香港的金融發展自回歸20年來，生產總值的每年平均增幅為同期GDP的兩倍。
Deputy President over the 20 years since the reunification the average growth rate of the total output of the financial industry has doubled that of the GDP for the same period in Hong Kong
雖然香港曾經歷兩場金融危機，但在中央的支持及特區政府的努力下，股票市場很快穩定陣腳，持續向上，港股市值由1997年的3億2,000萬元升至目前的28億5,000萬元，增長8倍，上市集資總額連續3年全球第一，遠遠拋離上海和紐約。
Although Hong Kong has experienced two financial crises with the support of the Central Government and efforts of the SAR Government the local stock market was able to regain its footing quickly and continue to grow . The market value of Hong Kongs stocks grew from 320 million in 1997 to 2.85 billion at present an eight - fold increase . The total equity fund raised in Hong Kong tops world rankings for three years in a row and is much higher than those of Shanghai and New York
前年和去年，我們實施跨時代的滬港通和深港通，為兩地金融合作邁出重大一步，而且香港也是最大的人民幣離岸中心，可以說沒有強大的祖國作後盾，香港金融中心就沒有今天的成就。
We implemented the Shanghai - Hong Kong Stock Connect and the Shenzhen - Hong Kong Stock Connect last year and the year before last . The developments are of epoch - making significance enabling Hong Kong to make a big stride forward the financial cooperation of China and Hong Kong . Hong Kong is also the biggest offshore Renminbi centre
可惜，過往多年我們把太大精力放在政治爭拗上，泛民議員在會議內不斷"拉布"，阻礙法案和撥款通過，浪費寶貴時間，拖慢了我們的經濟建設，導致經濟放緩。
It is a shame that in the past few years we have spent too much energy on political rows . The incessant filibusters of the pan - democratic Members in this Council have impeded the passage of bills and approval of funding applications wasted precious time stalled our economic development and slowed down the economic growth
反而鄰近的深圳銳意創新，急起直追，其GDP更隨時超越香港。
On the contrary Shenzhen our neighbour aspires to exploit innovation and makes effort to catch up with Hong Kong make advancement and has already caught up with Hong Kong . Its GDP may exceed that of Hong Kong anytime
所以，我衷心希望大家在新政府上場後，與工商、金融專業，以至各行各業攜手同行，把精力重新投放在經濟發展，製造良好營商環境，改善民生上，使教育、房屋及社會福利等各方面得到提升，讓青年人融入粵港澳大灣區的建設中，加強他們對未來的信心。
Hence I sincerely hope that after the inauguration of the new Government all Members will redirect their energy to the economic development and join hands with the industrial and commercial sectors the financial profession and various trades and industries to create a favourable business environment improve peoples livelihood enhance the policies on education housing and social welfare allow young people to participate in the development of the Guangdong - Hong Kong - Macao Bay Area and have a greater confidence in the future
我亦希望政府在大灣區內，積極爭取早日實施雙邊債券通，以先行先試方式，讓中港兩地投資者可透過新股通跨境認購對方市場發行的新股，為資產管理和集資上市提供專業服務。
I hope that the Government will actively strive for the early implementation of bilateral bond connect in the Bay Area on a pilot basis so that investors in China and Hong Kong can subscribe for new shares issued in the market of each other through the new stock connect and that the financial sector can provide professional services relating to asset management and fund - raising listings
總之，我誠心祝願我們透過這世界級的大灣區建設，把區內的大門、小門一一打開，讓包括港澳兩個特區在內的各個城市，齊心合力發揮"一加一大於二"的力量，建立世界級的創新科技灣區，推動區內城市轉型發展。
All in all I sincerely hope that we can through this world - class construction in the Bay Area open various doors big or small in the region so that all cities including Hong Kong and Macao can work together to generate greater powers for building the world - class innovation and technology Bay Area and promoting the restructuring and development of cities within the region
我亦衷心希望泛民的專業人士可以放下成見，抓緊國 家飛快的發展機遇，搭上這列經濟快車，為香港的經濟引入新引擎，帶領我們的經濟再次騰飛，為青年人帶來新的光明前景。
I also sincerely hope that the pan - democratic professionals will cast their prejudice seize this opportunity make available by the countrys rapid development to ride on this economic express train and bring a new engine to Hong Kongs economy so as to enable another economic take - off and bring new and bright prospects to the younger generations
主席，據報，近月有多間從事沽空活動的機構發表多份針對某些本地上市公司的研究報告或評論，質疑該等公司在管治、財務及業務前景等方面存在問題，並對該等公司訂出極低的目標股價。
President it has been reported that in recent months a number of institutions engaged in short selling activities published a number of research reports or commentaries targeted at certain local listed companies querying that such companies had problems in areas such as governance finances and business prospects and setting extremely low target share prices for such companies
被點名的公司的股價隨即急挫而其股票交易甚至需暫停，連帶相關行業上市公司的股價亦大幅波動，市場秩序遭到嚴重擾亂，人心惶惶，令不少投資者蒙受巨大損失。
The share prices of the named companies plunged immediately and trading of their shares even had to be suspended . As a knock - on effect the share prices of listed companies in related industries also fluctuated significantly causing serious disturbance to market order and sending jitters through the market thus resulting in quite a number of investors having sustained huge losses
然而，沽空機構發表有關報告或評論的行為不屬《證券及期貨條例》下的受規管活動，因此無須向證券及期貨事務監察委員會申領任何牌照。
However the publication of such reports or commentaries by short selling institutions is not a regulated activity under the Securities and Futures Ordinance
證監會不會就個別投訴的細節作出評論。
SFC would not comment on details of individual complaints
二 證監會曾經對發出沽空報告的沽空人士/機構進行調查。
2 SFC has conducted investigations into short sellers who issued short seller reports
這類報告通常載有一項聲明，宣稱報告的作者可能就相關股票擁有淡倉權益，以及如果該股票的價格下跌，他們可獲得重大利潤。
There is usually a statement in this kind of report declaring that the authors of the report may have a short interest in the relevant stock and stand to realize significant gains if the price of the stock declines
因此，證監會的調查重點通常在於是否有人士/機構進行在《證券及期貨條例》下屬違法的操縱交易或無擔保沽空活動，以及沽空報告是否載有任何在要項上屬虛假或具誤導性的陳述。
SFC investigations therefore usually focus on whether there has been any manipulative trading or naked short selling which is illegal under the Securities and Futures Ordinance Cap . 571 SFO and whether the short seller report contained any materially false or misleading statements
若沽空報告看似有據可依，證監會亦會以開放的態度調查有關上市公司是否曾經發出虛假或具誤導性的資料。
If the short seller report seems plausible SFC also investigates open mindedly whether the listed company concerned has issued false or misleading information
到目前為止，證監會已就一宗已完成的調查個案對發出沽空報告的人士/機構採取執法行動。
To date one completed investigation has resulted in enforcement against the issuer of a short selling report the issuer
在該個案中，證監會在市場失當行為審裁處提起了針對發出人的研訊程序。
In that case SFC brought Market Misconduct Tribunal MMT proceedings against the issuer
市場失當行為審裁處裁定，發出人違反了《證券及期貨條例》第277條的規定，疏忽地發出了有關一家上市公司的虛假或具誤導性的資料，指該上市公司無力償債和作出會計方面的欺詐行為。
MMT found that the issuer had breached section 277 of SFO for negligently issuing false or misleading information about a listed company alleging that the listed company was insolvent and had engaged in accounting fraud
結果，市場失當行為審裁處對發出人施加了多項罰則。
MMT imposed a number of penalties on the issuer as a result
三 香港擁有嚴謹的沽空制度。
3 Hong Kong has a stringent short - selling regime
投資者只可以就香港聯合交易所訂明的某些指定證券進行有擔保的沽空交易。
Only covered short selling for certain designated securities as prescribed by the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong SEHK is permitted
我們的沽空規定要求保留有擔保沽空的全部審計線索，即客戶落盤沽空時，須向其經紀行或代理人提供文件，確認有關的沽空交易是一項有擔保的沽空交易。
Our short selling regulation requires a full audit trail to be kept for covered short sales meaning that when clients place short selling orders they must provide documentary confirmation to their brokers or agents that the sale is shorted and it is covered
證監會於2012年6月推出淡倉申報制度。在該制度下，任何人持有須申報的淡倉必須每周向證監會申報，而證監會會公布合 計的淡倉量數據。
In June 2012 SFC introduced a short position reporting regime under which reportable short positions must be reported to SFC on a weekly basis and the aggregated short positions reported is published by SFC
淡倉申報制度在2017年3月擴大至涵蓋所有可進行沽空的證券，以進一步加強證監會對沽空活動的監控及提高市場透明度。
The short position reporting regime was expanded in March 2017 to cover all securities eligible for short selling to further enhance SFCs monitoring of short selling activities and improve market transparency
違反該等法定規定者可能會遭受刑事檢控。
Breaches of these statutory requirements may result in criminal prosecution
除了法定規定外，聯交所規定只可在其交易系統上，以不低於當時最佳賣盤價執行沽空。
Apart from the statutory requirements SEHK requires that short selling may be executed only on its trading system at or above the best current ask price
此外，香港中央結算有限公司實施了防止經紀行延遲交付的措施。
In addition Hong Kong Securities Clearing Company Limited HKSCC has implemented measures to safeguard brokers from late delivery
若經紀行沒有在交收日交付證券以交收其沽空交易，香港結算會執行強制買入。
If a broker fails to deliver securities to settle its short transactions on the settlement day ie . T2 HKSCC will execute compulsory buy - in
證監會將因應市場活動的改變及全球監管發展，繼續檢視沽空制度，並在有需要時優化有關制度。
SFC will continue to review and if necessary enhance the short - selling regime based on changing market activities and global regulatory developments
主席，今年有多間沽空機構針對香港股市發表沽空報告，這是否反映香港股市的質素真的存在問題？
President this year a number of short selling institutions published research reports targeted at Hong Kongs stock market
張議員的補充質詢包含很多部分。
Mr CHEUNGs supplementary question contains many parts
至於張議員提到市場出現的一些問題，我們是關注的。
We are concerned about the market problems highlighted by Mr CHEUNG
如果沽空機構發表報告的目的是為了謀取私利，便一定要嚴厲打擊。
If short selling institutions publish reports for private gains they must be combated vigorously
主體答覆提到，證監會在有需要時會優化沽空制度。
As stated in the main reply SFC will enhance the short - selling regime if necessary
局長可否告訴我們，有否留意世界各地的監管機構對這些沽空機構的監管，與香港監管機構有甚麼重大的不同之處，以及有哪些地方值得香港借鏡？
Can the Secretary tell us whether there are any major differences between the regulation of short selling institutions by overseas regulatory bodies and that by local regulatory bodies and which areas Hong Kong can draw reference from?
首先，多謝陳健波議員的祝福，我也很榮幸能夠與各位議員共事多年，相信大家仍會為香港的金融市場繼續努力。
First of all I thank Mr CHAN Kin - por for his blessing and I am also very honoured to work with Honourable Members for so many years . I believe we will all continue to work hard for Hong Kongs financial market
局長，在過去5年來與你有不少互動，而且合作愉快，希望你可以在新的崗位繼續貢獻香港。
Secretary I did have many interactions with you in the past five years and we have been working together happily . I hope that you will continue to make contribution to Hong Kong in your new post
局長在主體答覆第三部分提到"有擔保沽空"，而這當然是合法的。
The Secretary mentioned covered short sales in part 3 of the main reply and they are definitely legitimate
據我理解，"有擔保沽空"是指沽空機構持有一份可執行的股票借貸合約，而借方亦願意借出該等股票，這便是"有擔保沽空"。
As far as I understand it covered short sales means that a short selling institution possesses an enforceable stock lending agreement under which the lender is willing to lend the stocks concerned . This is called covered short sales
然而，我接獲很多外國證券商的意見或投訴，指如果這些借貸合約未有適當的登記而要向香港稅務局登記時，便要繳付香港的印花稅，即是說無論股票的借與還也要繳付頗高的印花稅，而且這些股票的借貸頻率很高。
However I have received feedbacks or complaints from a number of overseas dealers saying that if these agreements are not properly registered subsequent registration at the Inland Revenue Department of Hong Kong would involve a payment of stamp duty . That is to say both the lending and borrowing of stocks are subject to a pretty high stamp duty rate . Worse still there are frequent lending and borrowing of stocks
多謝梁議員的祝福，我亦有幸曾與他進行很多有關稅務方面的討論。
Thanks for the good wishes of Mr LEUNG and I am honoured to have a chance to discuss with him matters relating to taxation
主席，首先，我代表金融界感謝陳局長在財經事務方面的貢獻，希望陳局長在轉往另一平台後，會繼續推動香港經濟金融的發展。
President first of all on behalf of the financial sector I would like to thank Secretary Prof CHAN for his contribution in finance . I hope that after Secretary Prof CHAN moves to another platform he will continue to promote the development of Hong Kongs economy and finance
針對沽空機構的活動，局方的回應指出，證監會的調查重點在於有否進行違法的操縱交易或無擔保沽空活動，以及沽空報告是否載有虛假或具誤導性的陳述。
With regard to the activities of short selling institutions the Bureau pointed out in its response that SFCs investigations focus on whether there has been any manipulative trading or naked short selling and whether the short seller report contained any materially false or misleading statements
不過，如果報告看似有據可依，證監會便會以開放的態度調查上市公司是否曾經發出虛假或誤導投資者的資料。
However if the short seller report seems plausible SFC would adopt an open - minded attitude in investigating whether the listed company concerned has issued false or misleading information
多謝陳議員的問題及你的美意。
I thank Mr CHAN for his question and appreciation
這是一項很好的補充質詢，就是當證監會認為沽空報告看似有據可依而展開調查時，是否可以向外透露，讓大家知道沽空報告是否有所依據。
This is indeed a very good supplementary question and that is if SFC carries out an investigation based on a seemingly plausible short seller report can it disclose certain information to inform people if the reports are substantiated?
我相信如果能為市場進行更多不同的研究，不管是唱好還是唱淡，讓投資者獲得更多資訊，對整體市場的健康發展也會有幫助。
I believe if more studies on the market can be carried out then regardless of whether the findings are positive or negative investors will be better informed which is conducive to the healthy development of the market
主席，陳局長當年放棄其大學教席及研究工作，進入這個"熱廚房"10年之久，所以今天真的要多謝陳教授。
President Secretary Prof CHAN gave up his university teaching post and research work back then and has worked in this hot kitchen for a decade I must therefore express my heartfelt thanks to Prof CHAN today
主席，現時這些沽空機構所針對的都是一些二三線的上市公司。
President short selling institutions are currently more interested in second - and third - tier listed companies
因此，歸根結底，最基本的問題是當局如何加強監管上市公司，特別是IPO的審批。
Therefore after all the root of the issue is how the authorities step up their control over listed companies especially the vetting and approving of initial public offering
主席，我感謝局長多年來溫文爾雅地通力合作，希望他日後在清水灣會有較涼快的工作環境，從此"脫苦海"。
President I thank the Secretary for his refined and cultivated cooperation throughout the past years . I hope that he will have a cooler working environment in Clear Water Bay and can thus get away from the misery
關於淡倉申報及規管沽空方面，其實香港可以說是世界上最嚴謹的經濟體之一。
Concerning the short position reporting regime and the regulation of short selling Hong Kong can be regarded as one of the most stringent economies in the world
在設立淡倉申報制度後，我們得知合計淡倉量約佔有關證券市值1.3%至1.4%。
With the establishment of the short position reporting regime we learnt that the aggregated short position is about 1.3 % to 1.4 % of the relevant market value of securities
主席，有不少年輕創業者向本人反映，他們為了推銷產品和服務，引進了一些抽獎遊戲和活動，以吸引人流到訪實體或網上店鋪。
President quite a number of young entrepreneurs have relayed to me that with a view to promoting their products and services they have introduced some lucky draw games and activities so as to attract patronage to their physical or online shops
然而，執法當局指稱他們在未領有"推廣生意的競賽牌照"或"有獎娛樂遊戲牌照"等相關牌照下經營博彩活動，並表示可能會引用《賭博條例》予以檢控。
However the law enforcement authorities have alleged them of operating gaming activities without obtaining the relevant licences such as Trade Promotion Competition Licence or Amusements with Prizes Licence and have indicated that they may invoke the Gambling Ordinance to institute prosecutions against them
該等創業者又指出，該等遊戲和活動在鄰近地區頗為盛行而且在當地並不違法，但本地法例卻過於嚴厲，窒礙了他們發展業務，亦令他們提心吊膽。
Such entrepreneurs have also pointed out that while such games and activities are quite popular in the neighbouring regions and are not against any law in those places the laws of Hong Kong are overly stringent thereby hindering their business development and making them unduly worried
"推廣生意的競賽"、"有獎娛樂遊戲"等活動涉及博彩遊戲，如未獲批准而進行這些活動，最高罰則與一般大眾認為較嚴重的賭博罪行一致，是為了避免別有用心的人利用這些名目作變相賭博；而為了達到阻嚇目的，我們認為現時的最高罰則是合適的。
Activities such as Trade Promotion Competitions and Amusements with Prizes involve gaming holding of which without permission is liable for the same maximum penalties as those gambling crimes which are perceived as more serious by the general public . Such arrangement is to deter people with ulterior motives from making use of these items to pursue gambling activities in disguise and we consider the existing penalties as appropriate
法庭會根據案情的嚴重性作判決。
The court will make judgment based on the seriousness of individual cases
舉例來說，有商戶在沒有申請"推廣生意的競賽牌照"下，在網上舉辦抽獎活動作宣傳，因此根據《賭博條例》第9條被控非法籌辦獎券活動；而《賭博條例》中規定，一經定罪可判處罰款最高500萬元及監禁7年。在衡量案情後，該商戶東主獲准以自簽1,000元守行為方式處理換取律政司不提證供起訴。
For examples there has been a case in which a merchant conducted online lucky draw to promote his business without applying for the Trade Promotion Competition Licence and hence was prosecuted under section 9 of the Gambling Ordinance for organizing unlawful lottery . While it was set out in the Gambling Ordinance that a person on conviction is liable to a maximum fine of 5 million and to imprisonment of at most seven years; the merchant after the case was assessed was offered no evidence on condition of being bound over in the sum of 1,000
同樣地，在訂定牌照條件方面，政府亦是秉持不鼓勵賭博的原則而訂定。
Similarly for the formulation of licence conditions the Government has been following the principle of not encouraging gambling
例如，政府不容許有關遊戲或競賽提供現金獎、要求贏取獎品的機會不應是參與"有獎娛樂遊戲"的唯一動機、"推廣生意的競賽"籌辦者不得收取參賽費用，而競賽不得成為該業務的核心部分或吸引力來源等。
Some examples of the licence conditions include not allowing the offering of money prize for amusements or competitions the opportunity to win a prize being not the only inducement to participate in Amusements with Prizes no fee being charged for entering Trade Promotion Competitions and the competitions being not the core part or main attraction of a business
此外，部分牌照條件是為了保障參與者的安全和權益而訂立。
In addition there are licence conditions that are formulated to protect the safety and rights of the participants
舉例來說，議員提及"有獎娛樂遊戲牌照"的其中一項規定，是舉辦"有獎娛樂遊戲"的處所，必須領有《公眾娛樂場所條例》下的相關牌照。
For example one of the conditions for the Amusements with Prizes Licence as mentioned by the Councillor is that relevant licence under the Places of Public Entertainment Ordinance shall be obtained for premises in which such amusements are conducted
這是因為"有獎娛樂遊戲"一般會吸引人流聚集，因此我們要求有關持牌處所符合相關的安全要求，以保障公眾安全和秩序。
This is because amusements usually draw crowds . We prescribe that the licensed premises concerned shall meet relevant safety requirements so as to safeguard public safety and order
至於議員提及的另一項"推廣生意的競賽牌照"的條件，是要求籌辦者由競賽遊戲抽籤或評選日期起計10天內，須在香港流通的中文及英文報章各一份公布結果詳情，並將有關剪報的副本一份送交牌照 事務處。
As for another condition mentioned by the Councillor ie . a condition for the Trade Promotion Competition Licence it requires a promoter to publish within 10 days from the date of draw or judging results of the competition in one English and one Chinese newspaper circulating in Hong Kong and to forward a copy of the relevant newspaper cuttings to the Office of Licensing Authority OLA
有關牌照條件是為了確保持牌人會以公開、透明方式公布抽獎結果，保障參與者的權益。
This licence condition serves to ensure that draw results will be published in an open and transparent manner by licencees for protecting the interest of members of the public who have participated
政府會因應實際情況，檢討有關條文規定，在方便營商和保障公眾利益間取得平衡。
The Government will also review related arrangements in light of actual circumstances so as to strike a balance between business facilitation and protection of public interest . For example the requirement of publishing competition results in newspapers as mentioned above was amended in 2002
例如剛剛提及在報章上公布競賽遊戲結果的規定，便曾於2002年修訂，由"須由抽籤日期起計7天內，在兩份中文及兩份英文報章公布"，放寬為現時"由抽籤日期起計10天內，在一份中文及一份英文報章公布"；而因應時代轉變，牌照事務處現時亦接受籌辦者於網上報章刊登結果，但顧及部分市民或仍未習慣網上閱報，牌照事務處要求持牌人須在最少一份印刷報章刊登抽獎結果。
The original condition prescribing that competition results shall be published in two English and two Chinese newspapers within seven days from the date of draw was relaxed to competition results shall be published in one English and one Chinese newspaper within ten days from the date of draw . Keeping abreast with times OLA nowadays also accepts publishing of draw results by promoters in online newspapers . However some members of the public are still not used to reading newspapers online OLA requires promoters to publish draw results in at least one printed newspaper
至於牌照收費方面，政府現時政策是收費水平一般應訂於足以收回提供有關服務所需全部成本。
Regarding licence fees it is the Governments policy that fees should in general be set at a level sufficient to recover the full cost of providing the relevant services
《賭博條例》下各項牌照收費是以按同一"用者自付"的原則釐定，旨在向申請人收回簽發牌照的成本。
Fees for various licences under the Gambling Ordinance are charged in accordance with the user pays principle with a view to recovering the cost of licence issuance from applicants
牌照事務處會定期檢討牌照收費水平。
OLA will review the level of licence fees on a regular basis
現時香港網絡銷售相當普遍，主體質詢亦提到"有獎娛樂遊戲牌照"。
At present online sales are quite common in Hong Kong and the main question also mentions the Amusements with Prizes Licence
要符合牌照要求，每次涉及的款項不應超過5元，獎品的價值也不應超過100元，最重要的是要領有公眾娛樂場所牌照。
To meet the requirements of the licence the amount of money involved in each transaction shall not exceed 5 and the amount of prizes shall not exceed 100 and most important of all it is necessary to obtain a Places of Public Entertainment Licence
所以，無論以甚麼形式或方式進行的活動，只要在《賭博條例》的規管範圍內，政府都會採取執法行動。
Therefore the Government will take enforcement actions against any form of activities that fall within the scope of regulation of the Gambling Ordinance
網上博彩的情況也一樣，由於實體賭博或網上博彩的結果或後果是完全一樣的，法例規管的細節同樣適用於網上活動。
The same applies to online gambling . As the results or consequences of physical gambling or online betting are exactly the same the details of regulation under the law are equally applicable to online activities
主席，我不會逐一評論坊間出現的每種情況，若商戶存疑，我們非常歡迎他們親自向牌照事務處查詢，清楚了解情況。
President I will not comment on each situation that may arise in the community . If traders have questions they are welcome to make enquiries with OLA in person and find out more about the situations
主席，社會人士對各種過時法例表示關注，有些法例簡直過時得有點可笑。
President members of the community have expressed concern about outdated legislation and some legislation has been ridiculously outdated
局方指出，那些有獎遊戲具賭博成分，應受《賭博條例》規管，根本不合時宜，"九唔搭八"。
According to the Bureau some prize winning games have gambling elements and should be regulated by the Gambling Ordinance . This requirement is simply obsolete and inappropriate
我相信實情是，部分甚至大部分市民不再習慣閱讀報紙。
I believe the actual situation is that some or even most members of the public no longer have the habit of reading newspapers
