然而，盧偉國議員連我們進行補漏拾遺的工作也要阻撓。
However even our effort in making minor rectifications was thwarted by Ir Dr LO Wai - kwok
由此可見，我對於先前代理主席的提醒大惑不解。
In view of the above I am completely baffled by Deputy Presidents reminder
盧偉國議員動議中止待續議案的論點是《公告》不具爭議性，所以無需再討論。
Ir Dr LO Wai - kwoks argument for the adjournment motion is that the Notice itself is not controversial thus no more discussion is needed
我認為現時放寬大律師轉任律師的程序上仍有不一致之處，我原本打算在"察悉議案"的辯論環節，向袁國強司長提出這一點。
I consider that there is inconsistency in the relaxed procedures for barristers becoming solicitors . I originally intended to raise this point to Secretary for Justice Rimsky YUEN during the debate session of the take - note motion
為免重複，我只舉出一個簡單例子。
In order not to repeat myself I only cite a simple example
在現時新修訂的放寬安排下，大律師如要獲認許為律師，需取得香港大律師公會執委會發出的證明書，證明書須列明該大律師的行為操守，包括該大律師不是大律 師紀律審裁組或上訴法庭的仍然待決的法律程序的標的。
Under the newly relaxed requirement a barrister who wishes to be admitted to practise as a solicitor is required to obtain a certificate from the Council of the Hong Kong Bar Association stating that no conduct of the person as a barrister is the subject of proceedings being conducted or pending before the Barristers Disciplinary Tribunal or the Court of Appeal
主席，我要就盧偉國議員根據《議事規則》第401條動議的中止待續議案發言。
President I will speak on the adjournment motion moved by Ir Dr LO Wai - kwok under Rule 401 of the Rules of Procedure RoP
我們今天困身於立法會大樓，可能不知道今天是一個很重要的日子歷史有時真的在作弄我們香港大學法律學院今天舉行第一百九十八屆學位頒授典禮。
As we are detained in the Legislative Council Complex today we may not know that today is a very important day―history makes fun of us sometimes―today is the 198 Congregation of the Faculty of Law of the University of Hong Kong
在法律學院舉行學位頒授典禮之際，盧議員的中止待續議案對莘莘學子來說，真是一盆冷水或一個諷刺，叫莘莘學子情何以堪？
While the Congregation of the Faculty of Law is held the adjournment motion moved by Ir Dr LO is just like a wet blanket thrown on students . This is sarcastic; how can students bear such emotional stress
盧議員根據《議事規則》第401條動議中止待續議案時，在發言中提出了數個重點。
Ir Dr LO made a few important points when he moved the adjournment motion under RoP 401
第一，盧議員表示尊重律師行業的相關規則，並說實習律師與律師行業薪火相傳有關。
First Ir Dr LO expressed his respect for the rules of the legal profession and he said that trainee lawyers would pass on the torch in the legal profession
第二，盧議員解釋，他動議中止待續議案，只是程序處理問題，絕非不尊重律師行業。
Second Ir Dr LO explained that he moved the adjournment motion as a matter of procedure and he had no disrespect for the legal profession
第三，盧議員認為，有關附屬法例的生效日期沒有甚麼好辯論，所以同意梁美芬議員就附屬法例所作的報告，認為議題沒有爭議性。
Third Ir Dr LO thought that there was not much to discuss about the commencement date of the subsidiary legislation so he endorsed Dr Priscilla LEUNGs report on the subsidiary legislation and considered that the issue was not controversial
第四，他說不想有關討論影響立法會其他待議的工作。
Fourth he said that he did not want the discussions to affect other matters to be handled by the Legislative Council
他既要中止有關的議案辯論，阻止其他議員發言討論，又要表明自己十分尊重律師和律師行業。
While he wants the motion debate to be adjourned to stop other Members from speaking he also wants to state that he highly respects lawyers and the legal profession
事實上，中止有關附屬法例的議案辯論，是否尊重律師和律師行業的做法？
Does adjourning the motion debate on the subsidiary legislation show respect for lawyers and the legal profession?
盧議員以程序處理問題來解釋他動議中止待續議案一事，但問題是，程序處理問題是否足以合理化盧議員這項"戴頭盔"的中止待續議案呢？
Ir Dr LO explained that he moved the adjournment motion as a matter of procedure . The problem is can a matter of procedure rationalize this adjournment motion of Ir Dr LO who is acting chicken
我不是修讀法律的人，但我也知道法律的精神重視求真、重視公正性，而法律也重視程序、重視程序公義。
I have not studied law but I know that the spirit of the law attaches importance to truth and fairness . The law also attaches importance to procedures and procedural justice
盧議員如果真的尊重律師和律師行業，他必須明白，律師行業或專業一向重視並一直實踐一些十分重要的價值和精神。
If Ir Dr LO really respects lawyers and the legal profession he must understand that the legal profession has always emphasized and upheld some important values and spirits
終審法院首席法官馬道立在2015年資深大律師委任典禮上致辭時表示："法律使公義、公平及寬容存在於社會上。
In 2015 Chief Justice Geoffrey MA said at the Ceremony for the Admission of the New Senior Counsel The law enables the quality of justice fairness and mercy to exist in a society
這就是法律及法律精神的精要所在。
That is what is meant by the law and its spirit
"他更進一步叮囑："不管訴諸法庭的人動機為何無論是社會、經濟或政治上的動機律師，或更具體而言，訟辯人必須時刻銘記他們是以為法律效力為首要考慮。
He further advised whatever the motives of those who come before the courts―whether social economic or political―the lawyer or more specifically the advocate must at all times understand that he or she is serving the law first and foremost
"雖然我們是議員，而我亦不是律師，但如果我們真的尊重法律、尊重以法律為志業的律師行業，將馬道立首席法官的演辭應用於立法會這個情境中，也是可堪玩味，值得我們思考。
Although we are Members and I am not a lawyer if we really respect the law and respect the legal profession practising law we should reflect upon the remarks made by Chief Justice Geoffrey MA if they are to apply to the Legislative Council
主席，《基本法》賦予立法會監察政府的權力。
President the Basic Law empowers the Legislative Council to monitor the Government
如該調查委員會認為有足夠證據構成上述指控，立法會以全體議員三分之二多數通過，可提出彈劾案，報請中央人民政府決定；十在行使上述各項職權時，如有需要，可傳召有關人士出席作證和提供證據。
If the committee considers the evidence sufficient to substantiate such charges the Council may pass a motion of impeachment by a two - thirds majority of all its members and report it to the Central Peoples Government for decision; and 10 To summon as required when exercising the above - mentioned powers and functions persons concerned to testify or give evidence
" 主席，在我剛才引述《基本法》第七十三條的內容中，"一根據本法規定並依照法定程序制定、修改和廢除法律"及"六就任何有關公共利益問題進行辯論"這兩項規定，正好說明了議員的職權範圍和職責所在。
President the two provisions under Article 73 of the Basic Law that I have just quoted 1 To enact amend or repeal laws in accordance with the provisions of this Law and legal procedures; and 6 To debate any issue concerning public interests precisely state the terms of reference and responsibilities of the Members
但是，盧議員卻在本會辯論有關察悉《〈2017年實習律師規則〉公告》的議案時，動議將辯論中止待續，此舉正正是不讓議員就有關附屬法例發言只有陳淑莊議員和盧議員兩位議員曾就該附屬法例發言。
However when this Council was having a debate on the take - note motion in relation to the Trainee Solicitors Amendment Rules 2017 Commencement Notice Ir Dr LO moved a motion that the debate be adjourned . No other Members can then speak on the subsidiary legislation . Only Ms Tanya CHAN and Ir Dr LO have spoken on the subsidiary legislation
不讓其他議員發言，對其他議員來說是否公平？
Is it fair to other Members who are not allowed to speak?
不讓反對派議員發言表述其不同意的意見，又是否體現出寬容？
Does disallowing opposition Members to express their disagreement a manifestation of mercy?
須知道，現時立法會的代表性和合法性出現了嚴重危機。
It must be noted that there is now a serious crisis concerning the representativeness and legality of the Legislative Council
諷刺的是，獲大多數市民支持的非建制派或民主派議員的人數，較獲得較少票數的建制派議員少。
Ironically the number of non - establishment or pro - democracy Members who are supported by a majority of people is less than the number of pro - establishment Members who got fewer votes
非建制派更有6位議員被取消議員資格，仍有待補選。
Moreover six non - establishment Members have been disqualified from office and a by - election has yet to be held
在立法會的正當性和合法性成疑的情況下，立法會所通過的議案和法案是否合乎公義？
While there are doubts about the legitimacy and legality of the Legislative Council will the motions and bills passed by the Legislative Council represent justice?
盧議員根本從來沒有重視或尊重過法律的價值和精神。
Ir Dr LO has never attached importance to or respected the values and spirits of the law
從盧議員所述的程序處理角度來看，議員當然可根據《議事規則》無經預告而動議中止待續議案；不論我是否同意，我也會寬容和尊重。
From the perspective of procedure as mentioned by Ir Dr LO Members can certainly move an adjournment motion without notice under RoP; I will treat this act with tolerance and respect disregarding whether I agree or not
我只想知道，盧議員說他動議中止待續議案只是程序處理問題，究竟是甚麼意思？
I just want to know what Ir Dr LO meant when he said that he moved the adjournment motion as a matter of procedure
如果尊重律師行業，立法會便須認真審議有關附屬法例，讓議員有參與討論的機會，並須監察該附屬法例的實施和影響，而不能以犬儒、得過且過、不認真的態度來處理該附屬法例，這才是對法律的應有尊重。
If the Legislative Council respects the legal profession it should seriously scrutinize the subsidiary legislation so that Members will have the opportunity to participate in discussions as well as monitor the implementation and impacts of the subsidiary legislation . This Council should not practise cynicism it should not muddle along or perfunctorily deal with the subsidiary legislation as we should have due respect for the law
但是，盧議員卻以附屬法例的生效日期沒有甚麼好辯論為理由，動議中止待續議案，這是徹頭徹尾不尊重法律的做法。
Nevertheless Ir Dr LO moved an adjournment motion for the reason that there was not much to discuss about the commencement date of the subsidiary legislation . This is out - and - out disrespect for the law
可能盧議員也知道自己有問題，所以刻意"戴頭盔"。但我必須說明，"戴頭盔"否認不尊重，並不代表他的行為真正尊重法律。
Perhaps Ir Dr LO is also well aware that he has not made the right move so he has deliberately acted chicken but I must say that acting chicken and denying that he is showing disrespect do not mean that he really respects the law
梁美芬議員作出報告時表示，兩大律師組織都非常支持《2017年實習律師規則》，希望能盡快落實，但接着她卻表示不希望有任何拖延或成為"拉布"事件。
When Dr Priscilla LEUNG presented the report she said that the two legal professional bodies strongly supported the Trainee Solicitors Amendment Rules 2017 and they hoped that the Amendment Rules would be implemented as soon as possible . She also said that she did not want any procrastination or filibustering
梁議員其實是在猜度議員的動機。
Dr LEUNG was actually speculating on Members motives
我在上星期回應黃國健議員動議的中止待續議案時曾指出，黃議員可能是在猜度議員的動機。
When I responded to the adjournment motion moved by Mr WONG Kwok - kin last week I pointed out that Mr WONG might speculate on Members motives
就議案發言的議員，動輒被質疑立心不良，是透過冗長演說、冗長辯論、拖延議案來"拉布"。
Members who have spoken on the motion are very often condemned for having the ill intention of filibustering by making lengthy speeches and debates
即使議題沒有爭議性，議員亦應有權就議案發言，這是議員監察政府和處理立法工作的基本權利，也是法律賦予議員的權利。
Even if the subject of the motion is uncontroversial Members should also have the right to speak on the motion as this is the basic right of Members in monitoring the Government and handling legislative tasks and such rights are legally granted to Members
梁議員猜度其他議員的動機，正正是馬道立首席法官所擔心的政治凌駕法律的例子。
Dr LEUNG has speculated on the motives of other Members; this is precisely a case of politics overriding the law a matter of concern by Chief Justice Geoffrey MA
馬道立首席法官的提醒，絕對值得梁議員反省。
Dr LEUNG should really reflect on Chief Justice Geoffrey MAs reminder
主席，其實在座每位同事都知道今天的議會正在發生甚麼事情。
President Honourable colleagues actually know what is happening in this Council
一位非建制派議員甚至在上星期就黃國健議員的中止待續議案發言時表明，如果建制派肯撤回所有修改《議事規則》的決議案，他可以支持黃議員的中止待續議案。
A non - establishment Member even indicated when speaking on Mr WONG Kwok - kins adjournment motion last week that if the pro - establishment camp withdrew all resolutions on the amendments to RoP he could support Mr WONGs adjournment motion
從取消議員資格，到早前政府主動撤回《2017年印花稅條例草案》，再到政府在不作公眾諮詢下要求立法會進行"一地兩檢"的總結辯論，再到現在建制派議員趁火打劫、乘人之危，要修改《議事規則》，種種事件均導致議會出現這數個月來的混戰。
Incidents such as disqualifying Members from office the Government taking the initiative to withdraw the Stamp Duty Amendment Bill 2017 and asking the Legislative Council to debate on the co - location arrangement without conducting prior public consultations and pro - establishment Members taking advantage of the disadvantageous situation to amend RoP have led to tussles in this Council these few months
各位建制派議員，你們可會回首細味一下馬道立首席法官的演辭，比較一下現時議會的組成，理解一下現時議會所發生的事情？
May I ask pro - establishment Members to ponder Chief Justice Geoffrey MAs remarks vis - a - vis the present composition and incidents of this Council
你們堅持在6個議席出缺的情況下修改《議事規則》，將獲得大多數市民支持的議員的權力削去，你們可會覺得自己依然正在"使公義、公平及寬容存在於社會上"？
Pro - establishment Members insist on amending RoP at a time when the Legislative Council has six vacant seats with the intent of reducing the rights of Members supported by the majority public do they think that they will enable the quality of justice fairness and mercy to exist in society?
主席，基於要堅守"使公義、公平及寬容存在於社會上"的原則，我不能同意盧議員的中止待續議案。
President basing on the principle that [t]he law enables the quality of justice fairness and mercy to exist in a society I cannot support the adjournment motion moved by Ir Dr LO
最後，我想重申馬道立首席法官的一句話，這句話今時今日真是擲地有聲："不管訴諸法庭的人動機為何無論是社會、經濟或政治上的動機律師，或更具體而言，訟辯人必須時刻銘記他們是以為法律效力為首要考慮。
Lastly I would like to reiterate the powerful and resonating remark made by Chief Justice Geoffrey MA whatever the motives of those who come before the courts―whether social economic or political―the lawyer or more specifically the advocate must at all times understand that he or she is serving the law first and foremost
主席，我再重複一次，我發言反對由盧偉國議員動議、連議員察悉附屬法例也不容許的中止待續議案。
President let me repeat once again . I speak against the adjournment motion moved by Ir Dr LO Wai - kwok which does not even allow Members to take note of the subsidiary legislation
我認為作為議員，沒有理由阻止其他議員就某項法例或附屬法例的具體內容進行討論，主席，這真是說不過去。
As a Member I think there is no reason to stop other Members from discussing the details on a particular ordinance or subsidiary legislation . President this is undesirable
建制派同事也承認，之前兩次是以"拉布"抗"拉布"，他這次也是採取類似的做法，以中止辯論的方式縮短討論時間。
The pro - establishment colleagues also admit that they counter filibustering by way of filibustering for the last two meetings . He took a similar action this time to shorten the discussion time by adjourning the debate
我不知道他為何如此焦急，3月11日是他們之前所訂的"死線"，也是他們最擔心的日子，只要在3月11日前通過便可以，而且現在看來根本不需要那麼遲。
I do not know why he is so anxious . The 11 March is the deadline they have set and it is also the day they worry the most . It will be fine as long as the amendments to RoP are passed before 11 March and now it seems that the amendments can be passed at an earlier time
然而，各人皆有各自的判斷，他不能夠替其他同事判斷。
Nevertheless everyone should have his own judgment and he cannot make judgment for other colleagues
我覺得"察悉議案"確有值得討論的地方，我們不應該像盧偉國議員般武斷，即時下結論認為沒有爭議，其實只是他認為沒有爭議。
I think there are aspects worth discussing in the take - note motion . We should not be so arbitrary like Ir Dr LO Wai - kwok to immediately conclude that there is no dispute at all . Indeed only he himself would think so
主席，我剛才提出的問題似乎都牽涉公眾利益，因為不單涉及專業人士，亦會影響香港法治制度的健全和公正，而這正是令市民和國際有信心的基石。
President the issues I just raised seem to involve public interests . Not only does it involve the professionals but also affect the integrity and impartiality of Hong Kongs system of rule of law which are precisely the cornerstones for ensuring the confidence of the public and the world
如果這些基石受到動搖，我們的法治制度亦將會繼最近的政治審判後，再次受到進一步衝擊，我覺得這並不是市民想看到的。
If these cornerstones are shaken rule of law in Hong Kong will be challenged again following the recent political trial . This is not what the public would like to see
今天較早時間，我的另一位資深黨友涂謹申議員表示，以為不可以就"察悉議案"提出中止待續。
Earlier today Mr James TO another senior party comrade of mine opined that it was not possible to move motion to adjourn the take - note motion
如果連資深同事也有誤解，又或是一時忘記，那麼這項議案便更值得我們討論。
If even a senior colleague has misunderstood or somehow forgotten the rule the motion is even more worthy of our discussion
今次這項"察悉議案"最少讓市民大眾和議員有機會提出我剛才提出的數點意見，為何這次立法會竟然出現連涂謹申議員也有誤解的情況？
This take - note motion at least provides an opportunity for the general public and Members to raise some views I just mentioned . How come even Mr James TO has such a misunderstanding?
原因是《議事規則》曾經作出修訂，讓議員可就察悉沒有修正案的附屬法例發言，藉以引起一些辯論。
The reason is that RoP has been amended to allow Members to speak on subsidiary legislation to which no amendment has been proposed so as to enable a debate to take place
正如我剛才也說過，在1986年前，議員只能就修訂附屬法例動議議案發言，又或視乎是否獲得編配辯論時段，但並無讓議員就沒有修正案的附屬法例進行辯論或發言的做法。
As I just said before 1986 Member could only speak on motions to amend the subsidiary legislation depending on whether time slots were allocated for debate . Members were not allowed to speak on subsidiary legislation to which no amendment has been proposed
由此可見，就"察悉議案"進行辯論背後是有正面、良好意願的， 可以為社會做些實際工作，履行議員的職責。
This shows that there is a positive attitude and good will behind the debate on the take - note motion . Members can do some practical work for the community and fulfil their duties as Members
主席，這項得來不易的修訂，讓議會不單可以監察政府及向政府提供意見，亦讓議員履行令通過的法例更完善的職能。
President this hard - won amendment not only enables the Council to monitor and give advice to the Government but also allows Members to fulfil their duties of improving the legislation passed
根據在2009年經修訂的《議事規則》的規定，議員如要就這類沒有修正案的附屬法例進行辯論，必須通知內務委員會。
Pursuant to RoP revised in 2009 Members must inform the House Committee in order to hold a debate on subsidiary legislation to which no amendment has been proposed
就這項有關實習律師的附屬法例而言，立法會並沒有接獲提出修正案的要求，但內務委員會曾接獲同事的通知，要求在立法會會上進行辯論。
In respect of this subsidiary legislation on trainee solicitors the Legislative Council did not receive any request for amendment but the House Committee received a notice from Members requesting to hold a debate in the Legislative Council
為何盧偉國議員為了縮短討論時間，竟然連"自己友"也不給面子，剃她眼眉？
Why did Ir Dr LO Wai - kwok refuse to give face to his comrade in order to shorten the discussion time?
我希望盧偉國議員在最後回應時，可以向市民大眾和議會同事有所交代，他剛才一臉得意及嘴角微微上揚的勝利表情是甚麼意思？
I hope that Ir Dr LO Wai - kwok can explain to the general public and our colleagues in his final response . What is the meaning of his complacent look and his victorious expression with his lips slightly moving upwards?
是因為他這次聰明地利用這個方法縮短討論時間立了一功，還是因為他真心誠意地認為討論這項附屬法例是無謂、多餘和不值一哂？
Is it because he has performed a meritorious service by making this clever move to shorten the discussion time or does he truly consider the discussion of this subsidiary legislation pointless unnecessary and worthless?
我剛才已提出數點值得討論的地方，希望盧偉國稍後能認真地作出回應。
I have just put forward a few points worth discussing hoping that Ir Dr LO Wai - kwok can make an earnest response later
你的支持者也很支持你"剪布"，對嗎？
Your supporters also support you to cut off filibustering right?
他們是否覺得立法會的"察悉議案"只需察悉而無須討論？
Do they think that the take - note motion in the Council is just for taking note of but not for discussion?
原來立法會的議事堂只是用來討論他們利益所在的事情，就是修改《議事規則》以限制民主派議員的發言，讓建制派繼續千秋萬世，與政府"圍威喂"，繼續做保皇黨。
It turns out that the Chamber of the Council is only used to hold discussion on matters in which they have an advantage namely amending the Rules of Procedure RoP to restrict pro - democracy Members from speaking . As such the pro - establishment camp can work in collusion with the Government ever after and they can continue to be royalists . That is the practice of pro - establishment Members
這當然牽涉政府，政府也有"助攻"。
This of course involves the Government and the Government has also helped out
代理主席，原本要討論的是一項"察悉議案"，在立法會的《議事規則》和議會傳統中一直存在，是相對技術性、操作層面的議案，目的是對某專門行業的運作作出一些細微的修改，而有關修改對該專業界別或團體可能非常重要，甚至有可能造成很深遠的影響，例如這次所討論有關實習律師的附屬法例，正是涉及很細微的修改，但卻會影響整個法律界的運作。
It is relatively speaking rather technical and operational in nature with the purpose of introducing minor amendments to the practice of a professional sector . Some amendments may be vital to or even have far - reaching impact on a particular professional sector or organization . For example regarding the subsidiary legislation under discussion now although minor amendments are made in relation to trainee solicitors such amendments will affect the practice of the whole legal sector
有些議員可能很關心整體原則、法治精神、律師質素和法律體系是否健全，但他們的意見有否反映出來？
Some Members may be very concerned about issues such as the general principle the spirit of the rule of law quality of solicitors and soundness of the legal system but have their views been reflected?
因此，如果這次中止待續議案獲得通過，議事堂可以帶給公眾的資訊便會減少，而可能牽涉的資訊內容範圍廣泛，其中包括很多公眾人士未必能夠直接理解的事宜。
Therefore if the adjournment motion is passed the information to be received by the public will be less . Such information may cover a wide scope including issues which cannot be easily understood by many members of the public
如果"察悉議案"的討論被中止待續，相信我們很難向市民解釋他們關注的問題，特別是有關律師的行為和道德操守方面，而這些都是今次這項附屬法例涉及的重要部分。
If the debate on the take - note motion is adjourned I believe that it will be very difficult for us to explain to the public issues they are concerned about particularly those involving the conduct and ethics of solicitors . All these are important issues in respect of this subsidiary legislation
信中特別提到一個用詞，就是律師會必須獲得有關資訊才可決定申請人是否一名適當人士，英文是"fit and proper person"，確保申請人是適當作為律師會認許的香港事務律師。
A term namely fit and proper is specifically mentioned in the letter . The Law Society must obtain the relevant materials before determining whether a person is fit and proper to be recognized as a solicitor by The Law Society
這一切也牽涉律師的私隱，但很多時候亦牽涉他們的誠信。
All these factors involve the privacy of a solicitor and very often their integrity
這些範圍和條件均備受關注，律師會也承認這些資訊很重要，是決定某人是否適當人士的考慮因素。
Such scope and requirements have attracted great concern and The Law Society has also admitted the importance of such information which determines whether a person is fit and proper . The public also consider that these conditions and criteria are important
這些條件和資格對公眾亦很重要，一名大律師過往在行內的表現、聲譽、被投訴紀錄、研訊結果......
The past performance reputation complaint record and inquiry result of a barrister in the sector
全部都與公眾息息相關。
All these issues are closely related to the public
此外，我也要替仍在法律學院修讀的學生說話，他們也關心這些法例，關心在畢業後應該加入大律師抑或事務律師的行業，以及將來如何轉業等，全部都對他們有長遠影響。
Furthermore I have to speak for students who are still studying in the law school . They are concerned about this legislation and whether they should engaged in the practice of a barrister or a solicitor after graduation as well as how they can change to different sector in future . All these will have a far - reaching influence on them
據報，香港金融管理局在本年首10個月內收到117宗有關銀行取消其客戶帳戶的投訴，該數目高於去年全年的109宗。
It has been reported that in the first 10 months of this year the Hong Kong Monetary Authority HKMA received 117 complaints about banks cancelling their customers accounts and that number is higher than the 109 complaints received for the whole of last year
部分被取消帳戶的銀行客戶是經營小食店、文具店的小商戶。
Some of the bank customers whose accounts have been cancelled are small business owners operating catering outlets or stationery shops
有業內人士指出，銀行可基於帳戶經常有提存現金交易，懷疑有關帳戶被用作洗錢活動，並以此為由取消該等帳戶。
Some members of the industry have pointed out that banks may on the basis of frequent cash deposit and withdrawal transactions in accounts suspect that the accounts have been used for money laundering and cancel such accounts on that ground
儘管金管局已於去年9月向銀行發出有關對客戶進行盡職審查程序的通告，要求銀行避免實施"一刀切"的打擊洗錢措施，投訴數字近月不跌反升。
Notwithstanding that HKMA issued in September last year a circular on customer due diligence processes requiring banks to refrain from adopting one - size - fits - all measures to combat money laundering the number of complaints went up instead of going down in recent months
主席，過去數年，國際社會加大力度打擊洗錢及恐怖分子資金籌集，促使銀行業普遍加強了相關的管控措施，包括對現有客戶及新客戶進行更詳細的客戶盡職審查。
President in the past few years the strengthening of international efforts in combating money laundering and terrorist financing has in general led the banking industry to enhance their relevant controls including adopting a more comprehensive customer due diligence CDD process for existing and new customers
香港金融管理局於本年首10個月，共收到117宗有關銀行取消個人或企業戶口的投訴個案。
During the first 10 months of 2017 the Hong Kong Monetary Authority HKMA has received 117 complaint cases concerning the closure of individual or corporate accounts by banks . HKMA has followed up on each and every one of them
金管局已逐一跟進處理有關的投訴，發現當中不少個案是因為銀行在執行持續客戶盡職審查時，懷疑戶口可能涉及可疑交易或客戶未能提供所須資料，以致戶口被取消。
It is found that in quite a number of the cases banks decided to close the accounts because of suspicions during their ongoing monitoring process that the accounts might be involved in suspicious transactions or because the customers were not able to provide the required information during the process
然而，亦有客戶在提供相關資料後，銀行釋除了疑慮並繼續維持相關戶口。
However there are also cases where the accounts were subsequently maintained after the customers had provided the relevant information which addressed the banks concerns
資料顯示，大部分投訴個案都集中在個別跨國銀行集團，有關情況並非整體行業的現象。
Information suggests that most of the complaint cases are related to individual international banking group and the relevant situation does not appear to be an industry - wide phenomenon
就此，金管局已經要求相關銀行集團檢視其政策和程序，就執行細節及與客戶溝通方面作出改善，以符合"公平待客"的原則。
In this regard HKMA has already requested the relevant group to review its policies and procedures as well as undertake measures to improve its execution and customer communication issues so as to align with the Treat Customers Fairly principle
舉例來說，為了提升透明度，金管局要求銀行必須與客戶保持充分溝通，盡力協助客戶採取或提供各種有助符合客戶盡職 審查程序的方法。
In order to enhance transparency for instance HKMA requires banks to maintain adequate communication with customers and endeavour to assist customers in taking steps or providing alternatives that can help satisfy the CDD requirements
