我更加需要指出，香港是國際城市，在立法會很多場合如工商事務委員會，均有討論發展貿易單一窗口的事宜，當中也涉及很多國際條例和公約，例如我非常關注的《瀕危野生動植物種國際貿易公約》，而其中又牽涉很多須按照相關公約申請許可證及准許證的情況。
I have to point out that as Hong Kong is an international city discussions have often been held on the development of a trade single window on many different occasions in the Legislative Council such as at meetings of the Panel on Commerce and Industry . These discussions also cover a number of international treaties and agreements such as the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora which I am very concerned about and there are many situations where applications have to be made for the issue of licences and permits under such conventions
我記得在發展貿易單一窗口方面正是如此，而那眾多部門的法律草擬人員或使用單一窗口的人員，是否真的能找到經修改的國際公約條文，進而使用適當表格提出單一窗口申請呢？
From what I recall this is exactly the case for the development of a trade single window and will law drafting officers and officers handling the relevant single window in those government departments manage to get hold of the revised texts of the international agreements concerned and thereby using appropriate forms for filing single window applications?
這種直接提述方式看似是法律工具、法律概念，但實際上卻會對很多發展及貿易規定的條文造成影響，令從業員或業界的法律人員、工程師、商家遇到問題。
It seems that the direct reference approach is a legal tool or concept but it will affect many legal provisions concerning trade development thus causing problems for practitioners legal personnel in relevant trades and industries engineers and businessmen
《法定語文條例》第4B條訂明，以一種法定語文制定的現行法例文本用另一種法定語文頒布的情況。
Section 4B of the Official Languages Ordinance provides for publication in an official language of the text of an existing law enacted in the other
如果是一名合理的普通市民、沒有受過專業訓練，當然不明白這些"P"和"R"是甚麼，但他們拿着新修訂的法例來看，發覺沒有這些定義。
A reasonable layman without undergoing professional training will certainly have no idea what P and R mean . When he reads the newly amended Ordinance he will not find the relevant definitions
《條例》不曾出現"P"或"R"，他們不知道何謂"最大操作總重量"，不知道何謂"最大准許載貨重量"，又不知道何謂"皮重"。
Since P or R does not exist in the Ordinance the layman will not understand the meaning of maximum operating gross mass maximum permissible payload and tare weight
代理主席，我會長話短說。
Deputy President I will make a long story short
就《2019年運貨貨櫃條例草案》的內容、背景及修例過程，我也會從略，因為很多同事已提及。
I am not going into details of the content background and the process of amending the Freight Containers Safety Amendment Bill 2019 the Bill because many colleagues have already mentioned them earlier
但是，去年運輸及房屋局局長曾就今次修例表示，今次修例屬於技術性質，對現時全港的貨櫃安全政策、規管和執行影響不大。
However last year the Secretary for Transport and Housing told us that the amendments this time around were mostly technical in nature and they would not have much impact on the current container safety policy regulation and implementation in Hong Kong
根據局長所言，因為遠洋貨櫃船須停泊世界各地不同港口，而因為《國際集裝箱安全公約》在國際上通行，故此在香港的貨櫃在未進入本港水域前已因為要符合其他地區的法例已符合了《公約》的最新要求，所以當局預期今次的修例建議不會對業界的日常運作造成甚麼影響。
According to the Secretary ocean - going container ships would stop at different ports in the world and since the International Convention for Safe Containers is implemented globally therefore before freight containers were carried into Hong Kong waters they would have been in compliance the latest requirements under the Convention as a result of the need to comply with the laws of other jurisdictions . For that reason the Administration anticipated that the proposed amendments would not have much impact on the daily operations of the trade
今次在立法會提供的立法會參考資料摘要亦提到，修例對於財政、公務員、經濟、生產力、環境、可持續性、性別或家庭議題均沒有影響。
According to the Legislative Council Brief the proposal has no financial civil service economic productivity environmental sustainability and gender or family implications
一如既往，政府也會把這類修例說成是純粹屬技術性質，無甚影響，因此迅速通過便是了。
As always the Government will say that such proposed amendments are technical in nature and have no implications; therefore they should be passed swiftly
我要問的問題是，現時很多貨櫃是符合《公約》的要求，但對於本地生產力、經濟及性別議題是否真的沒有影響呢？
The question I am going to ask is at present many containers are in compliance with the requirements of the Convention but does that really have no local productivity economic or gender implications?
根據今次立法會的文件，《公約》的最新修訂關乎《公約》兩項最新的國際海事組織決議，該兩項決議均會提升貨櫃結構、堆碼及載荷方面的安全，而按今次立法會提交的文件顯示，貨櫃運輸涉及到本港海事處檢查船上貨櫃，卻未有涉及在本地陸上運輸貨櫃堆放的情況。
According to the Legislative Council Brief the latest amendments to the Convention were arisen from two latest International Maritime Organization IMO resolutions which seek to enhance the structural safety of containers and the safety in the stacking and loading of containers . According to the same Legislative Council Brief the transport of containers involves the on board inspection to be carried out by the Marine Department but it does not involve the stacking of freight containers on land in Hong Kong
該報告指出以貨櫃為個體單位的貨櫃結構的問題，以及貨櫃在堆放時貨櫃結構安全的問題。
The report pointed out the problems with the structural integrity of each container as a single unit and the structural integrity of the containers on stack
我想指出的是，貨櫃結構安全及堆放的安全問題不單會在船上出現，陸上運輸亦會同樣出現。
What I wish to point out is that the structural safety of containers and the safety in the stacking of containers are not just an issue for container ships but also an issue in the land transport of containers
所以，代理主席，如果妳認為我這個說法與《條例草案》無關，我請你留意，今次修例針對的是在運輸途中的貨櫃的堆放作出規管，但對於陸上貨櫃堆放的問題卻只是低度規管。
For that reason Deputy President if you consider that this point is irrelevant to the Bill I hope you will pay attention to the fact that the Bill regulates the safety in the stacking of containers during the transport process . But there is a low level of regulation over the safety in the stacking of containers on land
正如我剛才提到英國政府所發表的報告指，在貨船上的貨櫃倒塌與堆放及貨櫃結構有關，而這問題不會因為貨櫃移至陸上而消失，要留意的是，過往2013年及2014年，葵涌六號貨櫃碼頭曾先後發生貨櫃車被倒下的貨櫃壓倒，令到在貨櫃車內的人受傷甚至死亡。
As pointed out by the aforementioned United Kingdom Government report the way the containers were stacked and their structures had something to do with the collapse of the containers on the ship . Such a problem will not disappear when the containers are transported on land . One thing we should note is that in 2013 and 2014 there were cases in which some people working inside container trucks were injured and even killed at Container Terminal 6 in Kwai Chung after the container trucks were crushed by falling containers
這些案件均是由於起重機在吊運貨櫃時推跌另一個貨櫃，以致貨櫃倒塌而造成的意外。
These accidents happened during the lifting of containers when the quay crane struck some container stacks resulting in the collapse of these containers
"換言之，我們仍然未有具體的貨櫃限制高度，但今次《條例草案》就是關注到貨櫃的堆碼能力較弱的堆放問題，這正好給予政府機會，可以全面檢視在香港範圍內以任何形式及地點上堆放貨櫃的安全問題。
In other words we have not put in place a specified stacking height of containers . But the Bill concerns the stacking of the containers with limited stacking capacity it gives the Government an opportunity to comprehensively review the safety in the stacking of containers in different ways and in different places in Hong Kong
現時只有規劃署有就露天貨櫃場內的貨櫃堆放規劃加入一些附加條件才能限制貨櫃場不能夠堆放超過8個貨櫃，但8個貨櫃比起過往發生意外的貨櫃堆疊的6個貨櫃還要高，即簡單來說，風險至今未除。
At present additional conditions imposed by the Planning Department to limit the stacking height of containers at open storage space have limited the stacking height of containers to not more than eight containers at container yards . However the stacking height of eight containers is still higher than where the aforementioned accidents involving stacking height of six containers happened . To put it in simple terms the risk has not been eliminated
所以，並非如局長所言，《條例草案》對於貨櫃安全的政策、規管和執行的影響不大，因為政府只是把着眼點放在船上貨櫃堆放的問題，而忽略了貨櫃安全堆放的問題。
For that reason it is not as what the Secretary has claimed that the Bill does not have much impact on container safety policy regulation and implementation . The Governments attention is focused on the stacking of containers on ships only it has neglected the safety in the stacking of containers . Therefore the Government amends the Freight Containers Safety Ordinance Cap
還有一點，代理主席，曾經有本地貨櫃商人表示，貨櫃碼頭運作安全會吸引更多女性入行，而按立法會就今次《條例草案》的文件所顯示，今次修例與性別無關，但我認為非也，因為貨櫃碼頭安全以至貨櫃運輸安全均會影響女性加入貨櫃運輸行業的意欲。
Moreover Deputy President some local container operators have said that the safe operation of the container terminals will attract more female workers to join the trade . But according to the Legislative Council Brief on the Bill the proposed amendments have no gender implications . But I do not think so because the safety of container terminals and the safety of container transport will affect the willingness of female workers to join the trade
正如我剛才提到，今次修例不足以處理現時貨櫃安全的問題，只是依隨《公約》作相應更新，因此今次修例把性別議題排除在外，而非與性別議題無關。
As I have mentioned just now the proposed amendments are inadequate to address the existing problem with container safety . The Government is only making consequential updates to local legislation according to the Convention . The proposed amendments have excluded the gender issue but it does not mean that the Bill has no gender implication
我提醒各位議員，立法會主席早前已作出裁決，將於上午11時左右結束二讀辯論。
I wish to remind Members that the President of the Legislative Council has made a ruling earlier that the Second Reading Debate will come to a close at 11col00 am
現在仍有數位議員輪候發言。請大家發言盡量精簡，讓更多議員有機會發言。
As several Members are waiting for their turn to speak Members should speak as concise as possible so as to allow more Members to have the chance to speak
第一，它採用直接提述的方式，這種做法......
The first point is about the adoption of the direct reference approach
根據剛才許智峯議員和胡志偉議員的發言，我只作少許補充。
This approach I will only add a few points based on the earlier speeches of Mr HUI Chi - fung and Mr WU Chi - wai
我覺得這修訂方式的不足之處，令公眾日後很難了解檢驗貨櫃的要求之餘，更剝奪了本會行使某些職能的機會。
My feeling is that the inadequacies of this amendment approach will make it difficult for the public to understand the requirements on container inspection in the future and will even deprive this Council of the opportunity to discharge certain functions
我不是瞧不起澳門，事實上，根據國家主席習近平所說，澳門做得比香港好，正正......
I am not saying that I look down upon Macao . In fact according to President XI Jinping Macao has done a better job than Hong Kong
主席，我真的無法同意你的說法。
Chairman I honestly cannot agree with you
就着修訂現行《運貨貨櫃條例》第271條，第10條寫道："為全面或局部"這是重點"為全面或局部實施以下國際協議而訂立規例：國際海事組織通過的、關於運貨貨櫃安全的國際協議，而凡不時有對該協議作出任何修改或修訂，而該等修改或修訂適用於香港，則以"主席，這是重點"則以該協議經該等修改或修訂的版本為準。
Seeking to amend section 271 of the existing Freight Containers Safety Ordinance clause 10 reads ―this is the main point― to an international agreement relating to the safety of freight containers adopted by the International Maritime Organization―Chairman this is the main point―as from time to time revised or amended by any revision or amendment that applies to Hong Kong
我想說的是，原本的第271條說得很清楚："局長可為施行本條例和實施適用於香港的公約的任何條文而訂立規例。
I wish to discuss the original section 271 which clearly states The Secretary may make regulations for the purpose of this Ordinance and for giving effect to any provision of the Convention applicable to Hong Kong
我們賦予處長絕對權力可不清晰地......法例亦沒有詳細地界定所謂"全面或局部實施"的準則，而很少......
The Director is to be given absolute power but the wording is unclear and the amendment clause has likewise failed to set out any detailed criteria for defining giving effect
局長指附則的內容等同於《公約》，亦等同於我們的必然責任，這樣的話，那便"全面或局部實施"這句便不應存在，《公約》條文選擇性適用於香港的問題亦不應存在。
If the Secretary says that the contents of the Annex mentioned in the Bill are the same as those of the Annex to the Convention and therefore impose a necessary duty on us then I will say that the phrase should be left out and the selective application of the Conventions provisions to Hong Kong should likewise be out of the question
在上述程序中，有5名議員合共要求6次點算法定人數，消耗超過1小時15分鐘，而我和代理主席亦曾指出有議員發言離題。
During the above proceedings five Members have requested a headcount for six times altogether and this has consumed over 1 hour 15 minutes . Besides as my Deputy and I have also pointed out certain Members have digressed from the discussion topic in their speeches
立法會會議時間有限，全體委員會不應重複討論法案的原則，亦不應重提在二讀辯論已提出的論點。
The meeting time of the Legislative Council is limited and during the Committee stage Members should not repeat their discussions on the principle of the Bill or any arguments that were already raised in the Second Reading debate
若委員能聚焦發言，全體委員會應可在合理時間內完成審議。
If Members can stay focused in their speeches the committee of the whole Council should be able to complete its consideration within a reasonable time frame
作為主席，我有責任確保會議有秩序、公平及正當地進行，並在尊重議員權利與立法會有效運作之間，取得適當平衡。
As President I am duty - bound to ensure the orderly fair and proper conduct of meetings and to strike an appropriate balance between respecting Members rights and the effective operation of the Legislative Council
考慮到所有相關因素，並根據《基本法》第七十二條第一項賦予立法會主席主持會議的權力，我現在決定，全體委員會審議階段進行至下午2時30分左右便結束，之後會將整體條文納入《條例草案》的議題付諸表決。
Having considered all relevant factors and by virtue of the power granted by Article 721 of the Basic Law to the Legislative Council President to preside over meetings I now decide that the Committee stage shall last until around 2col30 pm and thereupon the question of the relevant clauses collectively standing part of the Bill will be put to the vote
請委員發言時盡量精簡，讓更多委員可以發言。
Members should be as concise as possible in their speeches so that more Members can speak
若我認為委員發言離題或不斷重複本身或其他議員的論點，我會終止該委員發言。
If I consider that a Member has digressed from the discussion topic or kept repeating the arguments of his own or other Members in his speech I will stop the Member from speaking
若議員今天稍後善用時間，其實很快便可完成處理這些議案。
If Members make good use of the time later today we can actually finish processing these motions expeditiously
我請張國鈞議員發言及動議議案。
I call upon Mr CHEUNG Kwok - kwan to speak and move the motion
主席，首先，我感謝各位議員的發言，亦感謝立法會秘書處提出方案、議事規則委員會很認真的審議，也多謝謝偉俊議員剛才回應了很多其他同事的某些關注。
President first I thank Members for their speeches the Legislative Council Secretariat for putting forward a proposal and the Committee on Rules of Procedure for its serious scrutiny . I also thank Mr Paul TSE for responding to certain concerns of many other Honourable colleagues just now
我在此再作簡短補充，讓正在收看直播的市民得以掌握立法會過去的防疫抗疫工作。
I would like to add a few more words here so that members of the public watching the live broadcast can understand the anti - epidemic efforts made by the Legislative Council in the past
整體上，在主席的帶領下，秘書處同事均一直非常謹慎，我會形容為以循序漸進的方式來平衡感染風險，讓我們可以一直履行《基本法》賦予立法會的職能。
In general under the leadership of the President colleagues of the Secretariat have been very cautious in balancing the risks of infection by adopting an approach which I would describe as progressive and orderly so that we can continue to perform the functions of the Legislative Council conferred by the Basic Law
可是，大家也會思考，如果會議長期停頓，其實是非常大的危機，因為立法會在《基本法》下有不可或缺的功能，而且在有緊急需要時，立法會一旦停擺，我們便無法正常運作。
However we all think that the prolonged suspension of meetings will in fact be a huge crisis because the Legislative Council has indispensable functions under the Basic Law and in case of emergency the Council will be unable to operate normally if it has come to a standstill
所以，在面對新一波疫情時，主席已作出調整，例如現在我們的做法是處理緊急、具立法效力的事情，讓議會可以繼續處理最需要處理的事情。
Therefore in the face of the new wave of the epidemic the President has already made adjustments . For example our current approach is to deal with urgent items with legislative effect so that the Council can continue to deal with the most important matters
至於其他委員會會議，如果不涉及一些具立法效力的會議安排，我們便先採用非正式的Zoom會議來進行；至於採用Zoom舉行正式會議，我認為亦是循序漸進及非常謹慎的做法。
As for other committee meetings so long as they do not involve meeting arrangements with legislative effect informal Zoom meetings will be conducted; with regard to using Zoom for holding formal meetings I believe this is a gradual orderly and very cautious approach as well
我們最初希望疫情盡快過去，因此行事也是很謹慎。
At first we exercised great caution in the hope that the epidemic would be over very soon
為響應政府的呼籲，我們盡量減少會議，有一段時間乾脆停止會議；及後，我們才讓非正式會議以Zoom meeting的形式進行，讓大家實 習，並確保Zoom會議基本上運作暢順；及至現時，即使提出這項議案，我們也是逐步平衡和保持謹慎。
In response to the Governments call we reduced the number of meetings as far as practicable and for a period of time all meetings were simply suspended; later on informal meetings were allowed to be conducted in the form of Zoom meetings so that Members could practise using Zoom and ensure that Zoom meetings operate smoothly in general; and now in proposing this motion we still seek to strike a balance progressively and remain cautious
稍後我們更會就接種計劃設立專題網站，讓市民可以一站式獲取關於疫苗的正確和最新資料和信息。
We will later set up a thematic website for the vaccination programme so that members of the public can have one - stop access to correct and the most up - to - date information on vaccines
但是，香港中文大學進行調查的結果顯示只有37%的受訪者表示會接種疫苗，遠比理想為低。
However the results of a survey conducted by The Chinese University of Hong Kong show that only 37 % of the respondents would receive the vaccine far lower than the desirable level
其中部分市民不願意接種的原因相信是對疫苗不了解，包括疫苗的原理、生產方法、效能、副作用等。
It is believed that some people are unwilling to get vaccinated because of their lack of understanding of the vaccines including their principles production methods efficacy and side effects
就以上各方面而言，特區政府計劃採購的數款疫苗的確並不相同。
In terms of the aforementioned aspects the several vaccines the SAR Government has planned to procure are indeed different
所以，我想問局長，對於計劃採購的數款疫苗，它們的科學評估進展究竟如何？
Therefore I would like to ask the Secretary what exactly is the progress of the scientific assessments of the several vaccines that are planned to be procured?
何時可以公布？
When can it be announced?
又會否考慮採購內地較多採用的國藥疫苗呢？
Will the Sinopharm vaccine which is more widely used on the Mainland be considered for procurement?
這方面的法律框架及程序已經設立。
The legal framework and procedure in this respect have been set up
就此，我們的原則是盡量公開透明。
In this regard our principle is to be as open and transparent as far as practicable
主席，在過去的聖誕和元旦假期，不少市民也有參加家庭聚會，無疑增加了社交傳播的風險。
President during the Christmas and New Year holidays many people attended family gatherings which undoubtedly increased the risk of social transmission
華人最重視的春節農曆假期快 將來到，屆時很多市民肯定會與親朋戚友進行團年、拜年等活動。
The Chinese New Year holiday which is most important to the Chinese is coming . At such time many people will certainly take part in activities with families and friends such as Chinese New Years reunion dinners and Chinese New Year visits
我想問當局何時完成規管私人地方社交聚會的研究工作？
I would like to ask the authorities when will the study on regulating social gatherings in private properties be completed?
如果已經完成研究，結果又是怎樣呢？
If it has been completed what are the results?
這個問題是複雜的，在執法上亦有一定困難。
This is a complex issue which also poses certain difficulties in law enforcement
就此，我想問，政府口中經常說禁足令和全民檢測不可行的理據究竟是甚麼？
In this connection I wish to ask what exactly are the grounds for the impracticability of a lockdown and universal testing as the Government has oft - mentioned?
究竟是用兩三星期實施禁足令或全民檢測造成的損失大，還是拖拖拉拉用一年時間仍未能控制疫情造成的損失更甚？
Is the loss resulted from a lockdown or universal testing which takes two or three weeks greater than that caused by dragging its feet for a year but still failing to contain the epidemic?
主席，大家都知道現在是一個非常時期，說是世紀疫症也未能完全反映問題的嚴重性，這可能是人類歷史上其中一個最重大的挑戰，是最廣泛、最嚴重、最麻煩的一次災患。
President we all know that this is an extraordinary time . It cannot fully reflect the seriousness of the problem by calling it the epidemic of the century which is probably one of the greatest challenges in the history of mankind and the most extensive severe and troublesome disaster
隨着社會的需要及進步，對習俗有不同的想法。
In the light of the needs and progress of society views about customs have changed
甚至有人說性生活也可以在網上解決，這方面我就不說了。
Some people even say that sex life can also be dealt with on the Internet yet I will not dwell on this
事實上，以人類的智慧，當遇到不同的挑戰時，總會有方法處理。
In fact given the wisdom of mankind we can always find a solution in the face of different challenges . Second perhaps Dr CHENG Chung - tai does not quite understand the entire procedure for the arrangement has been introduced in a rather hasty manner
我相信陳沛然醫生在這方面可能過分緊張，但我亦多謝他提出這個問題，希望秘書處同事可以更加密切關注。
I believe Dr Pierre CHAN may be overly concerned about this . Nonetheless I thank him for bringing up this issue and I hope colleagues of the Secretariat will keep a closer watch on this
沒錯，其中一個說法是我們不能百分之一百肯定，《基本法》第七十五條下的立法會會議人數限制，在這個立法會會議法定人數下所舉行的視像會議，是否有可能被質疑。
True and one of the arguments is that we cannot be 100 % certain about whether the quorum of the meetings of the Legislative Council conducted by videoconferencing will be challenged given the requirement on the attendance of the meetings of the Legislative Council under Article 75 of the Basic Law
不過，為免在法律上有訴訟的爭議，秘書處和法律顧問均採取比較保守和穩當的方法，認為在現階段暫時無謂惹起任何挑戰或疑問。
However to avoid legal disputes the Secretariat and the Legal Adviser have adopted a relatively conservative and prudent approach considering it unnecessary to arouse any challenge or query at the present stage
因此，我們不想就立法會會議受《基本法》限制法定人數的會議使用視像會議形式。
Hence we do not want to use videoconferencing for the meetings of the Legislative Council of which the quorum is subject to the Basic Law
事實上，這是唯一一個在法律上有可能的掣肘。
In fact this is the only possible legal constraint
此外，關於如何讓大家看到投票，如果大家有機會看到秘書處安排的做法，便是要求議員在視像上舉手，這不是最理想，但也是一個compromise。
Moreover regarding how to let people see the voting process for those who have the opportunity to watch the arrangement made by the Secretariat they will see that Members are requested to raise their hands at the video conference . This is not the most ideal but it is a compromise
至於公眾諮詢方面，現時暫未有一個很清晰的方向，但我理解秘書處也曾考量這個問題，亦會安排在適當時候採用其他諮詢方法。
As for public consultation there is no clear direction for the time being . Yet I understand that the Secretariat has considered this issue and will arrange to use other consultation methods as appropriate
至於臨時議案，事務委員會一般不會有臨時議案，最多只有一些規程問題。
As for motions without notice panels normally do not have these motions and at most there are only some points of order
事實上，秘書處也有考慮這個方向，也同意和提議在視像會議上，特別是在Zoom這個平台上，可以有辦法示意他們擬提出有關規程的建議或問題。
In fact the Secretariat has considered this aspect and has agreed and suggested that at video conferences especially on the Zoom platform there are ways for Members to indicate their intention to raise proposals or questions on a point of order
我們理解秘書處安排了每次會議最少有兩位秘書處同事負責，一位負責協助主持會議的主席，另一位則像旁證般在旁邊搖旗，一旦有何問題，議員可以隨時致電或以email通知他。
We understand that the Secretariat has arranged for at least two colleagues from the Secretariat to handle each meeting one to assist the Chairman who is presiding over the meeting and the other to wave the flag like an assistant referee so that if there is a problem Members may call or email the colleague at any time
如果議員想舉手提出規程問題，他馬上可以回應這個要求，並隨即通知負責的秘書和主席處理。
If a Member wants to put up his hand to raise a point of order the colleague will respond to this request and notify the Clerk and the Chairman immediately for follow - up
凡此種種均希望解決有關問題，並順應立法會的會議盡量公開、公平、透明的要求。
All these seek to address the relevant problems and comply with the requirement that meetings of the Legislative Council should be open fair and transparent as far as possible
就此，我希望鄭松泰議員聽畢我的發言後，又或看過有關文件後，甚至他不介意的話，可以再問秘書處的同事，由他們親自單對單向他解釋，這樣他便不會再有這種質疑。
In this connection I hope Dr CHENG Chung - tais queries will be cleared after listening to my speech or reading the relevant papers or he may ask the colleagues of the Secretariat if he does not mind so that they can explain to him one - on - one personally
事實上，坊間的反應並不如鄭松泰議員所說般會提出反對，他可能會有點失望，因他最初可能期望會有很大的反響。
In fact the community have not responded with opposition as claimed by Dr CHENG Chung - tai . He may be a bit disappointed for he might have expected in the beginning that there would be strong reaction
不過，據我理解，無論在客觀、主觀上也看不到坊間有太大的反應，因為這實在是一種需要，是普通常識的安排，也是順應很多其他國家的國會正在實行的方向。
Yet as far as I understand it we do not see strong reaction from the community both objectively and subjectively . The arrangement is actually necessary according to common sense which is also in line with the direction implemented by the parliaments of many other countries
不過，我想提醒鄭松泰議員，客觀上，民主制度當前正經歷200多年來最大的考驗。
Nonetheless I would like to remind Dr CHENG Chung - tai that objectively speaking the democratic system is now facing the greatest challenge in more than 200 years
據悉，內地當局自2019年起推行《國家組織藥品集中採購和使用試點方案》及《治理高值醫用耗材改革方案》，藉集體採購降低藥物及高值醫用耗材的單位價格，從而減輕患者的負擔。
It is learnt that the Mainland authorities have implemented since 2019 the Pilot Program of the Centralized Procurement and Use of Drugs Organized by the State as well as the Reform Plan for the Control of High - value Medical Supplies with a view to lowering the unit prices of drugs and high - value medical supplies through bulk procurement thereby alleviating the burden on patients
