"一地兩檢"安排完全從香港利益的角度出發，我真心想問一句，如果香港不實施"一地兩檢"，對國家有何損失？
The co - location arrangement is made purely from the perspective of the interests of Hong Kong . I really wish to ask what harm will it do to the country if Hong Kong fails to implement co - location?
泛民同事堅持"'一地兩檢'是惡法"，鼓吹以反對修改《議事規則》的力度去反對《條例草案》，這無疑是自絕於天下，自絕於人民的做法。
Honourable colleagues from the pro - democracy camp insist that the co - location Bill is a draconian law which should be opposed as forcibly as the bid to amend the Rules of Procedure was opposed
"一地兩檢"帶給香港人巨大機遇和便利，我看不到香港會因此招致絲毫損失，受到任何 影響。
This will inevitably alienate themselves from the entire city and its people . With co - location bringing forth massive opportunities and convenience to Hong Kong I do not see how Hong Kong will be harmed or impacted in any way
泛民同事何必利用這些無稽的修正案，把中央和特區政府的善意歪曲為惡意，以小人之心度君子之腹？
Why must Honourable colleagues from the pro - democracy camp use these nonsensical amendments to twist the goodwill of the Central Government and the SAR Government into malice gauging the heart of people of integrity with their own mean measure?
代理主席，我不想再與反對派的同事糾纏，跟這些瑣碎無聊的修正案扯上任何關係，只想藉此機會表達一個信息：香港是國家的特別行政區，香港和國家是一體的，"一地兩檢"安排正正反映了"一國兩制"的優勢。
Deputy Chairman rather than wrangling further with Honourable colleagues from the opposition camp and getting entangled in any way in these frivolous amendments I wish only to take this opportunity to convey a message with Hong Kong being a Special Administrative Region of the country and Hong Kong and the country being one single entity the co - location arrangement precisely reflects the advantages of one country two systems
香港應當充分把握"一國"之利和"兩制"之便，搭上國家高速發展的列車，為香港人爭取更大發展空間，增強香港人的競爭力，為香港人爭取實在的福祉。
Hong Kong must take the full advantage of one country and make the most of the convenience offered under two systems getting on board the high - speed train of national development striving for the people of Hong Kong more room for development boosting their competitiveness and fighting for their actual well - being
我最近在地區工作時不斷有市民告訴我，表示希望立法會可以盡快通過《條例草案》，這不單對他們與國家的接觸、旅遊、就業等不同方面帶來新機遇，亦讓香港市民得益於國家對香港的支持。
When I worked in the district recently people regularly came to me expressing their hope for the expeditious passage of the Bill by the Legislative Council as it would not only bring forth new opportunities in such diverse aspects as their contact with the country travel and employment it would also enable Hong Kong people to benefit from the States support of Hong Kong
代理主席，我衷心希望泛民同事不要再以意識形態掛帥，對"一地兩檢"無限上綱上線，在社會散播不必要的恐懼，自我設限，自我邊緣化，犧牲香港人的利益。
Deputy Chairman I sincerely hope that Honourable colleagues of the pro - democracy camp can stop putting ideology first blowing the issue of co - location up out of proportions unnecessarily spreading fear in society confining themselves to a box resigning themselves to the fate of marginalization and sacrificing the interests of Hong Kong people
代理主席，首先我要表明，對於9位立法會議員合共提出的24項修正案，我全部也會反對。
First of all Deputy Chairman I have to make it clear that I will vote against all the 24 amendments proposed by 9 Legislative Council Members
不過，我想強調我並非為反對而反對，亦非因為提出修正案的9位同事均來自反對派陣營，便盲目反對。
However I wish to stress that I do not oppose them for the sake of opposition nor do I oppose them blindly because the 9 Honourable colleagues proposing the amendments all come from the opposition camp
我的投票取向是有根有據的。
My voting preference is well - founded
首先，張超雄議員、朱凱廸議員、陳志全議員及毛孟靜議員也提出不同形式的日落條款，訂明條例在刊憲生效一段時間後便會自動失效，希望迫使政府在指定時間內檢討條例的落實和執行。
First Dr Fernando CHEUNG Mr CHU Hoi - dick Mr CHAN Chi - chuen and Ms Claudia MO have proposed sunset clauses of various forms providing that the Ordinance will automatically expire after a period of time subsequent to its gazettal and commencement in an attempt to force the Government to review the implementation and enforcement of the Ordinance in a specified time frame
我認為這種做法相當無聊，因為即使高鐵的"一地兩檢"安排在所謂"日落"之前沒有出現大問題，政府亦要另行立法延續條例的有效日期，可謂費時失 事，而且隨時會再被人用以進行"拉布"。
I consider it rather frivolous because even if nothing goes wrong with the co - location arrangement of XRL before the so - called sunset the Government still has to extend the validity period of the Ordinance in a separate legislative exercise which is rather cumbersome and will become a convenient excuse for filibustering
最壞的情況是條例無法在"日落"之前延續，令"一地兩檢"安排被迫暫停，為香港帶來重大的經濟損失，亦為市民及旅客帶來不便，甚至可能成為國際笑話。
The worst case scenario is failure to extend the Ordinance before the sunset resulting in forced suspension of the co - location arrangement which will bring a huge economic loss to Hong Kong and inconvenience to members of the public and visitors and may even make us a laughing stock of the world
相反，如果"一地兩檢"安排不幸出現重大的法律或執行問題，相信政府亦不會待指定的"日落"期限才處理，一定會立即進行檢討和處理，而如果有需要，甚至會緊急修例。
On the contrary it is believed that if major legal concerns or enforcement issues unfortunately arise over the co - location arrangement the Government will not wait till the specified sunset date to address them . It will definitely review and address them at once and if necessary it may even introduce legislative amendments as a matter of emergency
因此，我認為日落條款根本是畫蛇添足。
Hence I consider a sunset clause simply superfluous
對於范國威議員、郭榮鏗議員及譚文豪議員提出的修正案，我認為同樣有點多此一舉。
As for the amendments proposed by Mr Gary FAN Mr Dennis KWOK and Mr Jeremy TAM I consider them similarly a bit redundant
范議員要求條例在高鐵香港段終止運作後失效，但如果香港高鐵真的不知因何故終止運作，根本不會有人在西九龍站過關，難道他們會走路軌北上嗎？
Mr FAN requests that the Ordinance expire upon termination of operation of the Hong Kong Section of XRL . But if the operation of XRL of Hong Kong really terminates for reasons unknown actually no one will go through clearance at the West Kowloon Station . Will they possibly head north along the track on foot?
郭榮鏗議員要求訂明《內地與香港特別行政區關於在廣深港高鐵西九龍站設立口岸實施"一地兩檢"的合作安排》不屬《基本法》或任何香港法律的一部分，亦是畫蛇添足，甚至是自己嚇自己，因為根本沒有人說過《合作安排》是《基本法》的一部分。
Mr Dennis KWOKs request to provide that the Co - operation Arrangement between the Mainland and the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region on the Establishment of the Port at the West Kowloon Station of the Guangzhou - Shenzhen - Hong Kong Express Rail Link for Implementing Co - location Arrangement does not form part and parcel of the Basic Law or any laws of Hong Kong is also superfluous or even made out of subjective fear because there is simply no one saying that the Co - operation Arrangement will form part of the Basic Law
全國人民代表大會常務委員會的決定只是確認兩地政府簽署的《合作安排》合法和合憲。
The Decision of the Standing Committee of the National Peoples Congress only serves to endorse the legality and constitutionality of the Co - operation Arrangement signed by the two Governments
譚文豪議員要求訂明本條例只適用高鐵香港段及西九龍站，不會適用於其他鐵路或口岸。
Mr Jeremy TAM seeks to provide that the Ordinance will only apply to the Hong Kong Section of XRL and West Kowloon Station WKS but not to any other railway or port
其實法案的名稱已經很清楚，名為"《廣深港高鐵條例草案》"，當中條文亦沒有提及其他鐵路或口岸，故無須多此一舉，加入這樣的一項條文。
In fact the title of the Bill which reads the Guangzhou - Shenzhen - Hong Kong Express Rail Link Co - location Bill is already clear enough and while there is no mention of any other railway or port it will be unnecessary to add such a redundant clause
對於郭家麒議員和陳淑莊議員的修正案，要求部分香港法律及法庭命令可以在被視為處於香港以外並處於內地以內的內地口岸區繼續執行，其實變相推翻《合作安排》，增加內地人員的執法難度，製造"一區兩法"的混亂情況。
As for the amendments of Dr KWOK Ka - ki and Ms Tanya CHAN requesting continued enforcement of some of the laws of Hong Kong and court orders in MPA being regarded as an area lying outside Hong Kong but lying within the Mainland they are actually tantamount to overturning the Co - operation Arrangement thereby making it more difficult for Mainland personnel to enforce laws and creating the confusion of one area two laws
最後是陳志全議員提出要求新增多項專門針對內地人員的刑事罪行條文，最高可判監30年及罰款1,000萬元，我認為相當離譜，而且帶有嚴重歧視，好像把所有在高鐵西九龍站工作的內地人員視為汪洋大盜般看待。
The last one is Mr CHAN Chi - chuens request to add a number of criminal offence provisions specifically targeting Mainland personnel punishable by a maximum penalty of imprisonment for 30 years and a fine of 10,000,000 . I consider that it has gone way too far and constituted vicious discrimination which is like treating all Mainland personnel working at WKS of XRL as bandits
陳議員一向高舉平權、反歧視的旗幟，由他提出這項修正案真的很諷刺。
It is really ironic to see Mr CHAN who has long been hoisting high the banner of equal rights and anti - discrimination propose this amendment
如果內地人員真的不依法過關又不守法，蓄意離開內地口岸區並在香港口岸區觸犯香港法律，便應按香港法律處 理，不應因他們是內地人而度身訂造一套全新、極苛刻，而且罰則超重的刑事罪行條文來針對他們。
If Mainland personnel really go through clearance unlawfully and break the law deliberately leaving MPA and contravening the laws of Hong Kong in the Hong Kong Port Area they should be dealt with in accordance with the laws of Hong Kong instead of being specifically treated with a brand new set of draconian criminal offence provisions tailored made with excessive penalties for the reason that they are Mainlanders
如果稍後的表決獲得通過，便可以為高鐵在西九龍站實施"一地兩檢"提供堅實的法律基礎。
If the Bill is passed a moment later it will give solid legality to the implementation of the co - location arrangement at the West Kowloon Station of the Guangzhou - Shenzhen - Hong Kong Express Rail Link XRL
立法會亦完成"三步走"的最後一步，香港接上全國高鐵網，亦走完最後一里路。
Also the Legislative Council will finish the last step of the Three - step Process and Hong Kong will also finish walking the last mile before its linkage with the national high - speed rail network
主席，我代表民建聯發言支持《條例草案》。
President on behalf of the Democratic Alliance for the Betterment and Progress of Hong Kong DAB I rise to speak in support of the Bill
主席，時間有限，我簡短回應數項，過去多時在本會討論的論點。
President time is limited so I will just comment briefly on a few oft - repeated arguments heard in this Council
第一，就是不夠時間論。
First about the argument of insufficient time for discussion
主席，剛才很多反對派議員發言都批評，主席你這次的安排，說你不讓他們發言，這麼重大的《條例草案》，沒有充分時間討論。
President many opposition Members who spoke just now lashed out at your meeting arrangements this time around claiming that you forbade them to speak and did not allow insufficient time for discussing such a significant bill
主席，其實這些說法是以偏概全，只是再一次為他們"拉布"找藉口。
President such arguments are all biased merely another excuse for filibustering
道理很簡單，如果反對派真的這麼珍惜發言時間，主席，特別是當他們知道，你已經決定為這次辯論定下36小時的時限後，仍繼續提出中止待續議案、點算法定人數、擾亂議會秩序。
The reason is very simple . President if the time for speaking had really mattered so much to the opposition camp they would not have moved an adjournment motion requested headcounts or disrupted the order in the Council especially after they had learnt of your decision to cap the hours for this debate at 36
主席，其實發生甚麼事，市民是看得很清楚。
President the public can see clearly what has actually happening
大家清清楚楚看到，反對派繼續"拉布"，透過不斷拖延，阻延本會處理這《條例草案》。
All can see clearly that the opposition camp have kept filibustering and putting up different delays to stalling this Councils handling of the Bill
主席，請不要忘記，立法會討論"一地兩檢"，以至高鐵通車，不是始於今時今日。
President we must not forget that the discussions on co - location clearance and the commissioning of XRL are not something that have begun just today
這方面，我相信黃定光議員一定最清楚。
Mr WONG Ting - kwong should know best about this
翻查紀錄，黃議員早在2008年5月7日，已經在本會提出"落實一地兩檢"的議員議案。
Records show that as early as 7 May 2008 Mr WONG already proposed a motion on implementing co - location clearance
主席，接着2010年1月6日，財務委員會經過4次會議，合共16小時，我們通過高鐵撥款，當時已經討論"一地兩檢"如何安排。
Subsequently President the Finance Committee convened four meetings lasting 16 hours and eventually approved the funding for XRL on 6 January 2010 . At that time we already discussed how co - location clearance could be arranged
主席，香港人之所以反對"一地兩檢"，理由很簡單，便是因為香港社會不容中共大陸的法制。
President the reason why Hong Kong people oppose the co - location arrangement is simple . It is because the legal system of communist China is unacceptable to Hong Kong society
一般大眾認為，中共大陸是沒有法律的，甚至指他們朝令夕改，人民無所適從。
The general public think that communist China is ripped of a legal system . They have even asserted that they are capricious and this has aroused confusion among people
當然，這評價不單基於我們久遠的記憶，由1989年至今，而3年前發生的銅鑼灣書店事件也令大家質疑中國大陸有否法律。
Certainly this comment is based not only on our memory of the remote past since 1989 . The incident involving the Causeway Bay Books three years ago has likewise aroused public queries about whether Mainland China has any laws in force
這說法其實是指中共是有法院和法律的，只是大部分人皆認為，中共的法院或法律機關是為政治服務，作為政治工具，更準確的說法是為各級人民代表大會服務的工具。
This actually means that the Chinese Communist Party has set up courts and enacted laws only that most people think that the court or judiciary under the Chinese Communist Party merely serves as a political tool for political purposes . To put it more accurately they are a tool serving the Peoples Congress at various levels
這是其中一個原因解釋為何我們明確反對在香港設立"一地兩檢"內地口岸區，將香港司法管轄權雙手奉上，把腎臟割予內地。
This is one reason why we expressly oppose the setting up of the Mainland Port Area MPA in Hong Kong for the co - location arrangement and also the surrender of Hong Kongs jurisdiction to the Mainland like handing over our kidney to them
當然，可能有建制派議員不同意，認為這是片面的理解。
Certainly perhaps some pro - establishment Members will disagree with me and argue that all this is based on my one - sided understanding
讓我花少許時間解釋中國大陸的法制。
Let me spend some time on explaining the legal system of Mainland China
中國的法院分為4級：最高人民法院、高級人民法院、中級人民法院和基層人民法院。
Courts in China are divided into four levels the Supreme Peoples Court the Higher Peoples Court the Intermediate Peoples Court and the Basic Peoples Court
當然，有時候會成立特別的軍事法庭，但卻不常見。
Certainly special military courts will be set up sometimes but this is not very common
雖然內地設有4級人民法院，但中共的法院持一項基本原則，就是"由低從上"。
There are four levels of Peoples Courts on the Mainland . But courts under the Chinese Communist Party adhere to one fundamental principle the principle that lower courts are subordinate to higher courts
意思是，在判案時，各級法院的法官並非根據案例、事實、陳辭及審訊而最終作出裁決，而是每個步驟皆須根據上一級法院作出的最終決定。
It means that the final verdict on a case handed down by a judge at a certain level of court is not based on precedents facts submissions and trial . Rather the various proceedings are bound by the final decision of a higher court
大家可能會問道："這不是代表有程序和系統嗎？
Members may ask Doesnt this show that they have procedures and a system in place?
整個過程也不存在我剛才所說的審訊、陳辭、裁決的基本步驟，而是先有決定，才展開聆訊的。
The whole process is likewise ripped of the basic proceedings I mentioned just now such as conducting trial making submissions and delivering the verdict . Rather it is based on the decision made before the commencement of court hearings
不過，更複雜的一點，是這過程往往有兩類特別人士參與：第一，是政治部部長或相關人員，以及第二，黨支部人員。
But a complication is that this process often sees the participation of two special types of people First ministers from political departments or relevant personnel; and second people from the Party branch
法院設有黨支部，這是我們所不能理解的。
It is inconceivable to us to see the Party branch in courts
如果"一地兩檢"獲得通過，在面對於內地口岸區發生的任何法律訴訟時，香港人便要面對這些奇怪事情在香港境內發生。
If the co - location arrangement is endorsed Hong Kong people will have to face all such weird things within Hong Kongs territory should any MPA - related lawsuit arise
因為歸根究底，香港社會不容中共大陸法制。
The reason is that in gist the legal system of communist China is unacceptable to Hong Kong society
大家或會指我的言論是基於我片面的理解。
Members may say that my speech is based on my one - sided understanding of the matter
在1990年發生一宗案例，是中國憲法史上首宗震憾司法界的案例。
There was a case in 1990 and it was the first case which shook the judicial sector in the history of Chinas constitutional development
大家以為中國大陸會邁向司法化。
People thought that Mainland China would develop towards judicialization
我希望大家明白內地口岸區不實施有關國際公約所帶來的遺禍。
I hope Members can understand the repercussions of denying the enforcement of the relevant international covenant in MPA
事實上，我們一直所爭取的普選便是從公約引申出來的，公約及《人權法案條例》應該包含普選權。
ICCPR and the Bill of Rights Ordinance probably include the right of universal suffrage
當然是香港人的責任，因為我們沒有遠見，我們太蠢。
Certainly Hong Kong people should be held responsible because we are lack of vision and too stupid
根據《基本法》第二十二條："中央人民政府所屬各部門、各省、自治區、直轄市均不得干預香港特別行政區根據本法自行管理的事務。
According to Article 22 of the Basic Law No department of the Central Peoples Government and no province autonomous region or municipality directly under the Central Government may interfere in the affairs which the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region administers on its own in accordance with this Law
如果政府可以就此制定一項簡稱為"反干預法"的條例，我相信大家會更感安心。
I believe the Governments enactment of an ordinance called Anti - interference Law in short can better put peoples mind at ease
經過今次《條例草案》的審議和辯論過程，我們看到反對派為了反對廣深港高速鐵路的"一地兩檢"安排，不但以負面及不信任的態度質問政府，更不斷提出一些不可能發生的情境恐嚇市民，製造恐慌。
As evidenced by the deliberation and debate process of the Bill in order to oppose the co - location arrangement proposed for the Guangzhou - Shenzhen - Hong Kong Express Rail Link XRL the opposition camp has not only questioned the Government with a negative and distrustful attitude but also intimidated the public and created panic by setting out repeatedly some scenarios which are not likely to occur
然而，市民的眼睛是雪亮的，根據多份民調的結果顯示，大多數市民均支持"一地兩檢"安排，因為交通暢順快捷、通關便利，已成為世界潮流。
However the general masses have discerning eyes and according to the findings of a number of opinion surveys the majority of respondents expressed support for the co - location arrangement because efficient traffic flow and customs clearance efficiency have already become global trends
反對派議員想方設法反對"一地兩檢"安排，不惜抹黑高鐵，正是反潮流的做法，不切實際，自然未能得到大多數市民支持了。
Opposition Members have actually gone against such trends when they tried in every way to oppose and smear the co - location arrangement for XRL at all costs and it is only natural that such an unrealistic approach cannot enlist the support of the majority of Hong Kong people
代理主席，當香港還在就高鐵的"一地兩檢"方案爭論不休時，對岸的澳門和珠海，為了方便旅客，已在港珠澳大橋的珠海澳門口岸區開始實施"合作查驗，一次放行"的新通關模式，即"兩地一檢"。
Deputy President when we are still engaging in heated debates on the co - location arrangement for XRL in Hong Kong our neighbouring cities Macao and Zhuhai have already adopted a joint boundary control system at the Zhuhai and Macao Port Area of the Hong Kong - Zhuhai - Macao Bridge HZMB so as to bring the greatest convenience to travellers
做法是將兩地的關口合併在一起辦公，取消兩地關口之間的行人通道，無 論是e-道還是人手查驗通道，均只須排一次隊，憑有效的證件，在短距離通過兩道閘口，便完成出境和入境的手續。
The system is a new mode of clearance whereby the clearance procedures of the two places can be completed in one go by setting up a joint office for immigration and customs clearances and abolishing walkways between boundary control areas of both places . Travellers holding a valid travel document will only be required to queue up once at an automated clearance counter or a counter for manual clearance and then pass through two gates located within a short distance to complete the entry and exit procedures
這樣可以大大縮短旅客過關輪候的時間，十分便民。
This will greatly shorten travellers waiting time for clearance and provide the greatest convenience to travellers
隨着"一帶一路"和粵港澳大灣區建設的推進，香港須設法融入發展的大潮中，因此政府有責任在保障"一國兩制"的前提下，設計出實際、便捷的通關模式以方便旅客，這是大勢所趨。
Under the initiatives of One Belt One Road and the development of the Guangzhou - Hong Kong - Macao Bay Area Hong Kong should try its best to tie in with the major development trend . Hence under the premise of safeguarding the principle of one country two systems the Government has the responsibility to follow the major trend and formulate a practical and efficient mode of clearance for the convenience of travelers
高鐵西九總站的"一地兩檢"安排正是其中一項合乎香港法律制度的務實便民措施。
Implementing the co - location arrangement at the West Kowloon Station of the Hong Kong Section of XRL is one of these pragmatic and convenient measures and it is in line with legal provisions of Hong Kong
"一地兩檢"並非甚麼新鮮事，深圳灣口岸早已實行在內地範圍租借部分區域予香港以作為香港口岸區，實施香港的法律，自2007年啟用至今，已10多年，一直運作暢順，從沒發生越境執法的問題。
The co - location arrangement is not something new and an area within the Mainland territory at the Shenzhen Bay Port has already been leased to Hong Kong as a port area where the laws of Hong Kong apply . The arrangement has been operating smoothly for more than 10 years since 2007 and the problem of enforcing laws across the boundary has never arisen
代理主席，現在有不少港人在內地工作和生活，並於假日前往內地旅遊，而香港本身亦是亞太區重要的交通樞紐城市，不少海外及內地旅客均經香港轉機、轉車或轉船前往內地和各海外城市公幹或旅遊，去年已有接近6,000萬人次的旅客訪港，而平均每年亦有接近8,000萬人次香港人前往內地旅遊、探訪親友或營商等。
Deputy President many Hong Kong people are now working and living on the Mainland and they often travel to different Mainland places during holidays . On the other hand Hong Kong is a key transport hub in the Asia - Pacific Region and a lot of overseas and Mainland visitors are transiting via Hong Kong by air land or sea to other Mainland and overseas cities in their business or travel trips . The visitor arrivals last year were nearly 60 million while there is an average of nearly 80 million Hong Kong visitor arrivals to the Mainland every year for sightseeing visiting friends and relatives or business
此外，為方便市民，香港入境事務處亦積極與一些海外國家推廣e-道互通，目前南韓、德國及新加坡均接受香港市民直接以護照使用e-道出入境......
Besides for the convenience of travelers the Immigration Department has been actively promoting the mutual use of e - Channel services between Hong Kong and other overseas countries and holders of a HKSAR electronic passport can now enrol for the automated immigration clearance service in South Korea Germany and Singapore
由此可見，無論是高鐵的"一地兩檢"安排抑或其他便民過關的模式，只要是以人為本及合乎情、理、法，大家也應該支持，而政府亦應該繼續推行。
It can thus be seen that be it the co - location arrangement for XRL or a convenient mode of clearance we should lend it our support and the Government should take forward its implementation as long as it is people - oriented rational reasonable and legitimate
有反對派議員要求"一地兩檢"只此一次，下不為例，這點是由他們提出的，對嗎？
According to some opposition Members the co - location arrangement should be implemented on a one - off basis and should not be taken as a precedent and this is an argument they hold is it right?
這是短視的想法，大家應該將眼光放遠些，繼續積極研究創新的優檢模式，唯有這樣，香港才能保持區內交通樞紐的重要地位。
This is a short - sighted view and we should look a little bit farther to keep exploring actively other innovative and efficient modes of clearance because only through this can Hong Kong maintain its important status as a transport hub in the region
我相信只要政府秉承"以人為本"的理念，以方便市民利益為出發點，則未來香港還會有更多的優檢模式，而"一地兩檢"只是其中一種而已，希望反對派議員不要再將其妖魔化，更不要繼續製造恐慌了。
I am sure if the Government can uphold the people - oriented principle and take forward proposals in this respect with the ultimate aim of bringing convenience to the people more efficient modes of clearance will be adopted in Hong Kong in the future while the co - location arrangement will only be one of them . I hope opposition Members will no longer demonize the arrangement and neither should they continue to create panic
正如我剛才簡短闡述，香港的自治權有貨幣、司法管轄權及立法機關，即香港本身的立法權力，而當中司法管轄權令香港人引以自豪，我們稱香港為法治之地。
As I have just briefly stated Hong Kong autonomy is manifested in its monetary system jurisdiction and legislature and among them Hong Kong people take pride in our jurisdiction . We call Hong Kong a place governed by the rule of law and we place stress on procedures
我們講求有一個程序，不知是否公義，但最低限度有程序上的公義。
Although we do not know if there is justice there is at least procedural justice
然而，《條例草案》明顯有一些條文與我們過去理解的司法管轄權有所抵觸、互相違背、互相矛盾。
However some provisions in the Bill are in obvious contravention of and run counter to the jurisdiction we used to understand
就具體的內容而言，我舉例，陳淑莊議員提出刪去第73條，該條為在內地口岸區視為處於香港以外並處於內地以內的情況，斷定權利或義務的地理涵蓋範圍。
With respect to specific details of the amendments for example Ms Tanya CHAN proposed to delete clause 73 which makes provision for determining the geographical scope for specified rights or obligations in the context of MPA being regarded as an area lying outside Hong Kong but lying within the Mainland
理由很簡單，香港的司法管轄權相對不完整或完備，所謂至高無上的權力並不在於香港終審法院，當出現法律憲制爭議時，最終會以全國人民代表大會常務委員會釋法的方式來決定。
Hong Kongs jurisdiction is relatively incomplete or inadequate in that the Hong Kong Court of Final Appeal does not possess the ultimate power . In the event of a constitutional dispute the Standing Committee of the National Peoples Congress NPCSC will make a decision by way of interpretation of the Basic Law
當香港的法庭沒有至高無上的權力捍衞法治，釋法的行為引入外來的權力，把本地法治的漏洞越挖越大，這就是釋法的明顯禍害。
As the Courts of Hong Kong do not possess the ultimate power to defend the rule of law the introduction of external powers will dig deeper into the existing local loopholes in law . This is an obvious harm of the interpretations
換言之，內地口岸區的司法管轄區將會是較1997年前、數十年前的九龍城寨更"三不管"的地帶。
In other words MPA will be similar to the No Mans Land of the Kowloon Walled City before 1997 a few decades ago
當然，這是站於香港人的立場來理解，代理主席是不會認同的，因為內地口岸區還有中國內地法律來管理。
Of course this is an understanding from Hong Kong peoples perspective . Deputy Chairman will not agree with me because Mainland laws will be applied in MPA
我不認為這是小修小補，其實這是修正案最重要的部分。
I consider these not minor repairs but the most important aspect of the amendments
