我認為這是一項錯誤決定，罔顧現時經濟轉弱的現實情況，以及飲食業的困境。
In my opinion its decision is wrong because no regard is given to the reality of a weakening economy and the plight of the catering industry
業界非常擔心，隨着旅客數字下跌，連帶本港消費力轉弱，食肆未必如過去數年般能夠將最低工資的加幅轉嫁消費者，這對本身毛利已低的飲食業將造成極大衝擊。
The industry is gravely concerned that with the drop in tourist arrivals coupled with the weakening spending power in Hong Kong eateries might not be able to as in the past couple of years pass on the minimum wage increases to consumers . This will have a very strong impact on the catering industry which is already making a low gross profit
我經常也說增加最低工資只是政客爭取市民支持的手段，令社會更加走向民粹化，"西瓜靠大邊"，長遠是糖衣毒藥。
I often say that increasing the minimum wage is only a means employed by politicians to lobby public support . Not only will it push society to become more and more populist for people will join those who are in more favourable situations but it will also become a kind of sugar - coated poison in the long run
工會代表經常轉移視線，正如剛才所說，他們不斷對外聲稱租金比工資對業界的影響更大，而最低工資對經濟根本沒有影響，既沒有導致結業剛才也談及這一點，空口說白話亦沒有漣漪效應。
Labour union representatives often seek to divert peoples attention by as I pointed out just now alleging continuously that the impact of rentals is greater than that of wages on the industry . Moreover the minimum wage has had no impact on the economy at all for it has not resulted in any business closures―as I said just now these people were talking nonsense―or produced any ripple effect
不過，代理主席，我重申飲食業從來沒有否認租金的壓力，但工資的比重是飲食業的最大開支。
Nonetheless Deputy President I have to reiterate that the catering industry has never denied the pressure brought about by rentals but wages remain the largest cost item insofar as the catering industry is concerned
由於飲食業工種較多及人手密集，尤其是中式食肆及茶餐廳因工種分類和階梯較多，故薪酬開支比例一般較重。
Since the industry has more types of work and is labour - intensive with Chinese - style eateries and Hong Kong style cafes in particular having more divisions and hierarchies of job types the share of payroll costs is generally greater
因此，最低工資繼續遞增只會再次加劇工資漣漪效應，令各薪酬階梯均有加薪壓力，而人手短缺的問題將更為嚴重，其中以中小型食肆首當其衝。
As such the continual increase in minimum wage will only continue to aggravate the ripple effect on wages . As a result various pay hierarchies are facing pressure from wage increases . Moreover the problem of manpower shortage will become even more acute and in particular small and medium eateries will the first ones to bear the brunt
政府統計處剛在本月17日公布的《2016年收入及工時按年統計調查報告》也指出，按行業劃分，飲食業每月工資中位數的升幅最高，與2015年同期比較上升了6%，比全港數字的整體平均4.1%的升幅 高出兩個百分點，其實即高出了50%，升幅頗為驚人。
It is also pointed out in the 2016 Report on Annual Earnings and Hours Survey published by the Census and Statistics Department that according to the breakdown by industry the catering industry has seen the highest rate of increase in monthly median wage 6 % higher than the corresponding period in 2015 or two percentage points higher than the overall average rate of increase of 4.1 % recorded in territory - wide figures . Actually the 50 % rate of increase is quite alarming
然而，當局仍然未有2016年的數字，估計情況更為惡劣。
Nevertheless the figures for 2016 are not yet available . The situation is expected to worsen
須知道飲食業"一雞死、一雞鳴"的情況屢見不鮮，而近年所見的更多情況是食肆趨向精簡人手的經營模式。
Members should understand that it is not rare to find the closure of an eatery to be followed by the opening of a new one . In recent years it is more common to find the trend of eateries adopting a mode of operation that seeks to streamline manpower
雖然人手較少的快餐店數目仍然穩步增長，以2015年對比2014年為例，快餐店企業數目增加了近8%，即約70間，但人手密集的港式茶餐廳企業數目同期卻減少了超過6%，即約170間，形成了強烈對比。
Although the number of fast food shops which require less manpower is still growing steadily the number of fast food ventures in 2015 increased by nearly 8 % or about 70 compared to 2014 for instance . The number of labour - intensive Hong Kong style café ventures however decreased by more than 6 % or about 170 during the same period . That was indeed a sharp contrast
我已多次指出，在最低工資的壓力下，只會迫使飲食業加快精簡人手。
I have pointed out repeatedly that under pressure from minimum wage the catering industry will only be compelled to expedite the streamlining of manpower
過去數年，為了紓緩人手不足，連鎖企業已採用中央廚房、機械化及壓縮工種等方法處理。
In the past couple of years in order to ease the manpower shortage chain enterprises have resorted to such means as central kitchens mechanization compressed job types and so on
對於因此而刪減的職位，依我看來也難以重新開設。
In my opinion the posts thus deleted can hardly be reinstated
至於小企和微企，在這個大環境下只有束手無策，掙扎求存，他們更難與連鎖企業競爭。
Given the macro environment small and micro enterprises can only be at their wits end and struggle for survival making it even harder for them to compete with chain enterprises
因此，最低工資持續遞升只會扼殺中小微企的生存空間，助長大企業。
As such the continual rise in minimum wage will only stifle the vitality of small and micro enterprises and help major enterprises
我更加擔心的是如經濟下行情況持續，香港繼續人手不足，不單令更多中小企因意興闌珊而結業離場，也會嚇怕投資者，令他們寧願離開香港，另覓其他地方投資，以後很難再吸引他們回來。
It is even more worrying that should the economic downturn persist and Hong Kong continue to be caught in this manpower shortage not only will more small and medium enterprises close down their business and leave because they have lost interest but investors will also be scared away . As a result they will prefer to leave Hong Kong and make investments in other places . It will be very difficult to lure them back in future
業界一直催促政府盡快解決有關問題，而非再推高最低工資，讓問題繼續惡化，但當局未有理會，實在令人失望。
The industry has been urging the Government to resolve the relevant problems rather than pushing the minimum wage higher to allow the problem to continue to worsen . It is really disappointing that the authorities have turned a deaf ear to us
我重申，業界強烈反對扼殺中小微企的最低工資水平，亦反對最低工資水平過高，損害中小微企的競爭力。
I reiterate that the industry strongly opposes the stifling of the minimum wage level of small and micro enterprises and opposes the exceedingly high minimum wage level for the competitive edge of these enterprises will be compromised
長此下去，只會令市場越趨傾斜，減少社會向上流動的機會。
If this situation remains unchanged the market will only become more and more tilted and the opportunities of upward social movement will be reduced too
代理主席，首先，多謝柯創盛議員就"急切改善九龍東公營醫療服務"動議原議案，對於其主旨和具體建議，我和經民聯各議員同事基本上贊成。
Deputy President first of all I would like to thank Mr Wilson OR for moving the original motion Urgently improving public healthcare services in Kowloon East . Honourable colleagues of the Business and Professionals Alliance for Hong Kong BPA and I basically support the objective and proposals in the motion
事實上，經民聯過往曾多番促請特區政府增撥資源，以及加強公私營醫療協作，以提升本港醫療服務的水平。
In fact BPA has urged the Government on multiple occasions in the past to allocate additional resources and strengthen public - private partnership in healthcare so as to upgrade the standard of healthcare services in Hong Kong
所以，對於邵家臻議員在其修正案中刪除"增撥資源以加強公私營醫療協作計劃"一項，我們感到費解。
Therefore we are puzzled by the deletion of allocating additional resources to enhance the public - private partnership programme in healthcare in the amendment proposed by Mr SHIU Ka - chun
原議案提到市民對醫療服務的各項訴求和期望，其實並不限於九龍東一區。
The original motion mentioned the demands and aspirations of the public for healthcare services . In fact these are not restricted to Kowloon East
我申報，我現時是醫院管理局成員，但並無金錢利益。
Here I have to make a declaration of interest . I am a member of the Hospital Authority HA but no pecuniary interest is involved
據我了解，港九新界各區居民對醫療服務的訴求與現有設施之間的落差相當大。
To my understanding there is a significant gap between public demands and existing facilities in various districts throughout Hong Kong
所以，我認為應該從全港的角度去探討這個議題，如果特區政府能夠切實對症下藥，改善醫療服務的整體水平，也將惠及九龍東的居民。
Therefore I believe we should look at this issue from a territory - wide perspective . If the Government can prescribe the right remedy to the illness and improve the overall standard of healthcare services residents of Kowloon East will also benefit from it
事實上，本屆特區政府對醫療衞生服務投入了不少資源，例如在2017-2018年度，醫療衞生經常性開支預算總額為619億元，佔政府經常性開支的17%，並會向醫管局額外撥款20億元作整體經常性開支，以增加公營醫院病床數目和各類診斷服務名額。
In fact the current - term Government has injected plenty of resources into healthcare services . For example the estimated recurrent expenditure for healthcare services in 2017 - 2018 is 61.9 billion accounting for 17 % of the Governments total recurrent expenditure . An additional 2 billion will be allocated to HA to finance its recurrent expenses on increasing the number of beds and the quota for various types of diagnostic services in public hospitals
更值得注意的 是，當局宣布了總額2,000億元的10年醫院發展計劃。計劃包括在啟德發展區增建一所大型的急症全科醫院，以及重建或擴建超過10間醫院。
It is worth noting even more that the Administration has announced a 200 billion 10 - year Hospital Development Plan which includes construction of one new acute hospital in the Kai Tak Development Area and redevelopment or expansion of more than 10 existing hospitals
雖然投放資源不少，但現時的醫療服務仍未能令市民滿意。原因是多方面的，例如資源的投放，以至分配方面有待優化，部分醫院擴建和增建項目仍處於規劃和建設階段等。
Despite the huge resources injected the existing healthcare services still fall short of public expectation due to various reasons such as the facts that resources deployment and allocation are pending enhancement and that expansion projects of some hospitals are still under planning and construction
我認為特區政府必須"望聞問切"，廣泛聽取市民和各持份者的意見，綜合分析本港醫療衞生系統的病因，對症下藥，分別採取適當的短、中、長期的對策。
I believe the Government must observe hear and smell inquire and feel the pulse . It should listen to the views of the public and stakeholders analyse comprehensively the problems of Hong Kongs healthcare system and prescribe the right remedies by taking appropriate short - medium - and long - term measures
在短期方面，特區政府應該優化資源的投放及分配，務求立竿見影，改善公營醫療服務，致力縮短全港公立醫院的專科及普通科門診服務的輪候時間。
In the short term the Government should enhance resource deployment and allocation in order to achieve instant improvements in public healthcare services . It should also strive to shorten the waiting time for specialist and general medicine outpatient services in all public hospitals
政府應增設流動醫療車，為全港各區的長者及行動不便人士提供診症服務；並善用互聯網平台，為市民提供公營和私營醫療服務的資訊，以及盡快檢討醫管局《藥物名冊》及藥物資助制度等。
Mobile clinics should be introduced to provide consultation services to the elderly or people with mobility difficulties throughout Hong Kong . The Internet platform should be leveraged to provide people with public and private healthcare information . Also the HA Drug Formulary and drugs subsidy system should be reviewed expeditiously
在中期方面，當局應該爭取社會各界支持，盡快落實擴建和增建醫院的各項工務工程項目，包括落實聖母醫院重建計劃，以及興建啟德醫院，確保2024年可全面投入服務。
In the medium term the Administration should seek public support for the implementation of various public works projects of hospital expansion including the redevelopment of the Our Lady of Maryknoll Hospital and the hospital construction in Kai Tak so as to ensure its full commissioning in 2024
至於行政長官在2017年施政報告中宣布，政府決定出資在將軍澳預留土地興建中醫醫院，我相信市民都期待現屆和下屆政府切實跟進。
As for the Governments decision to finance the construction of a Chinese medicine hospital on a reserved site in Tseung Kwan O as announced by the Chief Executive in the 2017 Policy Address I believe the public expects concrete follow - up actions by the current - and next - term Governments
長遠而言，特區政府應該正視本港人口增加，特別是人口老齡化等趨勢，制訂全面的醫療政策，為香港未來所需的醫療資源及早作出規劃。
In the long term the Government should address our population growth in particular the trend of ageing population by formulating a comprehensive healthcare policy to make early planning for the healthcare resources required in the future
當局已開展《香港2030+：跨越2030年的規劃遠景與策略》規劃研究，我認為未來的土地規劃，必須兼顧經濟民生發展的整體性，除了增加房屋供應及支援產業發展，也要有周詳的社區發展規劃，包括預留土地，增設各種醫療及社康設施，並落實各項擴建和增建醫院的發展計劃。
The Administration has commenced the Hong Kong 2030 Towards a Planning Vision and Strategy Transcending 2030 planning study . In my opinion future land planning must take into account both economic development and peoples livelihood in a holistic manner . Apart from increasing housing supply and supporting the development of industries comprehensive community development planning should be conducted including reserving land for various healthcare and community facilities as well as for hospital expansion projects
同樣重要的是，當局必須解決醫護專業人手問題，投放資源以確保醫護人手的穩定供應，並透過增加培訓機會，提升醫療專業的水平。
It is also imperative for the Administration to address the manpower problem of healthcare professionals . Resources should be allocated to ensure a stable supply of healthcare manpower and to upgrade the standard of the healthcare profession by providing more training opportunities
代理主席，要切實紓緩全港各區公立醫院現時所面對的服務壓力，政府必須採取更靈活的政策措施。
Deputy President the Government must adopt policies and measures with a greater degree of flexibility in order to alleviate the pressure currently faced by public hospitals throughout Hong Kong
除了加快檢討各區醫院聯網之間的協作和支援，更應設法鼓勵公私營合作，例如促進公私營醫療合作的電子健康紀錄互通系統，已於去年3月啟用，當局應該盡快開展下一階段的工作，鼓勵病人和醫護人員積極參與。
In addition to an expedited review of the collaboration and support between various hospital clusters the public - private partnership programme should also be encouraged . For example the Administration should take forward quickly the next stage of work of the public - private partnered Electronic Patient Record sharing system launched in March last year and encourage active participation by patients and healthcare professionals
此外，正如經民聯多番向政府建議，長遠應落實推行自願醫保計劃，並增設醫療保險免 稅額，鼓勵有條件的市民購買醫療保險，更多地使用私營醫療服務，以減輕公共醫療系統的負擔。
Besides as suggested by BPA on multiple occasions in the long run the Voluntary Health Insurance Scheme should be implemented and tax allowances for medical insurance should be introduced so as to encourage people who can afford it to take out medical insurance thereby using more private healthcare services and hence reducing the burden on public healthcare system
代理主席，各項修正案的內容包含了不少具體建議，顯示不同黨派的議員在這個議題上都很務實，方向亦一致。
Deputy President a number of proposals were included in the amendments showing that Members of different political parties and groupings all adopt a pragmatic approach and follow the same direction on this subject
由此可見，在具體民生議題上，大家確實存在合作商議並尋求共識的空間。
From this we can see that there is indeed room for cooperation and consensus on livelihood issues
我期待這會成為本會議員同事合作共事的新趨勢。
I hope this will become a new trend of Honourable colleagues working together in this Council
局長應知道九龍東的人口以長者居多，是人口老化較嚴重的地區。
The Secretary should know that the population in Kowloon East is mainly elderly people and the ageing problem there is relatively serious
我們預計在數年後，即2020年，該區65歲長者人口將由15萬增加至大約20萬，是一個很大的數字。
We project that a few years later that is 2020 the population aged 65 or above in the district will have increased from 150 000 to around 200 000 which is a significant number
我想請局長稍後回應，他是否知道九龍東有多少間長者健康中心。
I hope the Secretary will respond later on whether or not he knows the number of elderly health centres in Kowloon East
我重複一次，世界衞生組織指出，現時不少65歲以上長者的聽力也有一定問題。
I have to reiterate the World Health Organizations remark that many elderly aged 65 or above are experiencing various degrees of hearing impairment at present
醫院管理局在聽力服務這個環節非常弱，我所指的不是一般的耳鼻喉科，而是長者聽力檢查。
This is hazardous to their health . The Hospital Authority HA is extremely weak in audiology services . I am referring not to the general services in otolaryngology but hearing tests for the elderly
雖然多位同事今天提出，要盡快興建啟德醫院、香港兒童醫院要盡快投入服務，又要重建聖母醫院、九龍醫院、靈實醫院、基督教聯合醫院等，而我相信局長會表示當局已預留了2,000億元儲備作醫院重建工程，但當局須針對九龍東長者人口多的特點處理。
Many Honourable colleagues have urged for the expeditious construction of the Kai Tak Hospital the early commencement of the Hong Kong Childrens Hospital and the redevelopment of the Our Lady of Maryknoll Hospital the Kowloon Hospital the Haven of Hope Hospital and the United Christian Hospital . I think the Secretary will probably say that a reserve of 200 billion has been set aside for hospital redevelopment works . Yet I think the authorities should formulate targeted measures to cater for the large elderly population in Kowloon East
"急切改善九龍東公營醫療服務"的議案辯論。
The motion debate on Urgently improving public healthcare services in Kowloon East
小組委員會舉行了兩次會議。
The Subcommittee has held two meetings
委員原則上支持收緊車輛廢氣排放標準，以改善路邊空氣質素，但部分委員關注現時本港市場上歐盟VI期車輛的品牌選擇及供應量並不足夠，這類車輛的價格仍然很高；若過早實施歐盟VI期標準，將會加重業界在購買或更換車輛時的合規成本。
Members support in principle tightening the vehicle emission standards with a view to improving roadside air quality . But some Members are concerned that the existing choices of brands and supply of Euro VI vehicles heavy duty vehicles in particular are insufficient in the local market . The prices of such vehicles remain high
此外，車輛維修業界亦未完全掌握維修歐盟VI期車輛的技術。
In addition the vehicle maintenance trade has yet to master the skills for repairing Euro VI vehicles
這些委員認為當局應將重型車輛及柴油私家車實施新廢氣排放標準的生效日期押後。
In these members view the Administration should defer the commencement dates of the new emission standards for heavy duty vehicles and diesel private cars
當局表示，在制訂實施時間表時，已諮詢運輸業界，並已把柴油貨車及非專營巴士實施歐盟VI期標準的擬議時間表押後1年。
The Administration has advised that it has consulted the transport trades when drawing up the implementation schedule and deferred the proposed implementation schedule of Euro VI emission standards for diesel goods vehicles and non - franchised buses by one year
雖然當局認為《修訂規例》下的實施時間表合理，但當局亦理解業界的關注和憂慮。
While the Administration considers the implementation schedule under the Amendment Regulation is reasonable it understands the concerns and worries of the trades
經與小組委員會商討後，當局同意將設計重量超過3.5公噸的貨車及設計重量超過9公噸的巴士實施歐盟VI期標準的生效日 期，押後9個月至2018年10月1日；並將柴油私家車實施加利福尼亞LEV III標準的生效日期，押後3個月至2017年10月1日。
Subsequent to the discussion with the Subcommittee the Administration has agreed to defer the commencement date of the Euro VI standards for goods vehicles with design weight of more than 3.5 tonnes and buses with design weight of more than 9 tonnes by nine months to 1 October 2018 and the commencement date of the California LEV III standards for diesel private cars by three months to 1 October 2017
小組委員會察悉，當局不會再接受只符合歐盟汽油車排放標準的柴油私家車作首次登記。
The Subcommittee notes that the Administration will no longer accept first - time registration of diesel private cars only meeting the Euro petrol car emission standards
小組委員會要求當局解釋有關安排。
The Subcommittee has requested the Administration to explain the relevant arrangement
當局指出，近年一些權威組織發現，通過歐盟標準實驗室測試的柴油私家車，在實際駕駛時的排放遠超規定上限。
The Administration points out that in recent years some reputable organizations have found that the emissions from diesel private cars which have passed laboratory tests for Euro standards are substantially above the regulated limit in real - world driving
因此，當局認為不應再接受只符合法定歐盟汽油車排放標準的柴油私家車作首次登記。
For this reason the Administration is of the view that it should no longer accept first - time registration of diesel private cars only meeting the Euro petrol car emission standards
小組委員會促請當局加強支援車輛維修業界，確保維修技術員有足夠能力維修歐盟VI期車輛，而車輛製造商亦應開放與歐盟VI期車輛的車載自我診斷系統有關的軟件。
The Subcommittee urges the Administration to step up its support for the vehicle maintenance trade and ensure that vehicle mechanics are competent in repairing Euro VI vehicles and vehicle manufacturers should also open up the software related to the on - board diagnostic systems of Euro VI vehicles
當局表示，職業訓練局一直定期提供有關車輛維修的培訓課程，環境保護署亦一直與職業訓練局及其他機構合作舉辦研討會，發放最新的車輛維修資訊。
The Administration has advised that the Vocational Training Council VTC has been offering regular training courses on vehicle maintenance and the Environmental Protection Department EPD has also been organizing seminars in collaboration with VTC and other bodies to disseminate the latest vehicle maintenance information
按歐盟VI期排放標準的規定，車輛製造商須作出安排，讓公眾可以在付費後取得車輛維修資訊及軟件。
As part of the Euro VI emission standard requirements vehicle manufacturers are required to make arrangements for the public to have access to vehicle maintenance information and software on payment of a fee
鑒於歐盟VI期商用車輛價格，普遍較歐盟V期型號為高，部分委員建議，當局應考慮增加為淘汰歐盟IV期以前柴油商用車輛而設的特惠資助金額，或推出新的計劃，以鼓勵運輸業界盡早更換柴油商用車輛至歐盟VI期型號。
Given that the prices of Euro VI commercial vehicles are generally higher than that of Euro V models some members have proposed that the Administration should consider raising the ex - gratia payments for phasing out pre - Euro IV diesel commercial vehicles or introduce a new scheme to encourage early replacement of diesel commercial vehicles with Euro VI ones by the transport trades
當局察悉委員的意見。
The Administration has taken note of the members views
小組委員會支持當局提出的擬議決議案。
The Subcommittee supports the proposed resolution moved by the Administration
小組委員會不會就該項附屬法例提出任何修訂建議。
The Subcommittee will not propose any amendment to this item of subsidiary legislation
代理主席，以下是我對《修訂規例》的個人意見。
Deputy President my personal views on the Amendment Regulation are as follows
大家生活在同一天空下，對於任何可改善空氣質素的措施，運輸業界基本上是支持的，只是在實施時要合乎民情，盡量減少對相關業界的營運帶來負面影響。
We are living under the same sky . The transport trades basically support any measures which may improve air quality as long as they are in line with public sentiments and keep the adverse impact on the operation of the relevant trades to a minimum in implementation
當局早於2015年11月已向立法會環境事務委員會委員介紹有關收緊車輛排放至歐盟VI期的建議，當時已有立法會議員對歐盟V期及日後歐盟VI期車輛的維修問題表示關注。
The Administration already introduced the proposal to tighten vehicle emission standards to Euro VI to members of the Panel on Environmental Affairs of the Legislative Council as early as in November 2015 . Back then Legislative Council Members already expressed concerns about the maintenance of Euro V and the future Euro VI vehicles
至於私家車的標準收緊至美國加利福尼亞LEV III則因通知時間過短，車廠及本地代理商未能有充裕時間作出產品的調整和安排，對車商的業務造成影響。
Pushing it through would result in serious impact on the transport trades . As to the tightening of standards for private cars to California LEV III of the United States vehicle manufacturers and local dealers were not allowed adequate time to make adjustments and arrangements in relation to their products given the short notice thereby affecting the business of vehicle suppliers
就此，在公聽會當日，我提出議案，要求政府修改收緊車輛排放標準的生效日期，包括的士及私家車進一步延至2018年1月1日，而貨車及巴士則須待市場有足夠品牌選擇及確保汽車製造商開放技術包括測檢軟件後才實施，議案獲得出席議員大多數支持而通過。
In this connection on the day of the public hearing I moved a motion requesting the Government to revise the commencement dates for tightening the vehicle emission standards including further deferral of the commencement date for taxis and private cars to 1 January 2018 and implement the standards for goods vehicles and buses when sufficient choices of makes were available in the market and the technologies including software for emission testing adopted by vehicle manufacturers were readily made public . The motion was passed with the support of the majority of Members present
事實上，本港的運輸業界多使用日本生產的重型車輛，一則因其車種較適合本港使用，二則其價錢亦較歐洲車種相宜，歐洲製造的重型車輛一般較日本生產的同級車種貴約兩成半。
In fact heavy duty vehicles produced in Japan are more commonly used by the local transport trades . One reason is that its models are more suitable for use in Hong Kong and the other is that the prices are more affordable than that of their European counterparts . Generally the prices of heavy duty vehicles manufactured in Europe are about 25 % higher than that of Japanese models of the same class
不過，由於日本車輛至今的排放標準尚未達致歐盟VI期的標準。因此，市場上的貨車，只有數個歐洲品牌可供選擇。
Nevertheless as the emissions from Japanese vehicles have yet to meet the Euro XI standards only a few choices of European makes particularly heavy goods vehicles were available in the market
若然在日本製造而又未達標的車輛推出前，過早把廢氣排放標準收緊至歐盟VI期的標準，只會逼使貨車運輸業界在無可選擇下改用較昂貴的歐洲車款，令業界的經營成本大幅增加。
Pre - mature tightening of the emission standards to Euro VI before introduction of compliant vehicles manufactured in Japan will only force the freight forwarding trade being left with no choice to switch to the more costly European models thereby substantially increasing the operating costs of the trade
除了車輛供應問題外，維修亦是運輸業界關注的另一個問題。
Apart from the supply of vehicles maintenance is another concern of the transport trades
雖然歐盟V期車輛已進入本港市場多年，但車主仍面對維修困難的問題。
While Euro V vehicles have been available in the local market for many years vehicle owners still face maintenance difficulties
由於汽車製造商並沒有開放新車種的維修技術，車主只能返回原廠或指定的維修商為車輛進行維修。
As vehicle manufactures have not opened up the technologies for the maintenance of new models servicing of vehicles by the original manufacturers or designated repairers is the only option for vehicle owners
由於零件儲備不足，一般等候時間頗長，影響業界營運。
Due to the insufficiency of spare parts the general waiting time is rather long thereby affecting the business operation of the trades
目前，本港的歐盟VI期商用車輛不多，本港的維修技術員更難以掌握有關的維修技術。
At present given the small number of Euro VI commercial vehicles in Hong Kong it is even more difficult for local vehicle mechanics to master the relevant maintenance techniques
