若有任何符合公眾利益，以及可紓緩輪候公屋人士困苦情況的建議，我們均會考慮。
We will consider any proposals which are beneficial from a public interest perspective and which can ease the hardship faced by those who are waiting for allocation of public housing units
局長其實無需多說，他所提及的亦非甚麼報章報道，而是市建局行政總監昨天表示，將會考慮把馬頭圍道項目的單位以低於市價發售。
There is actually no need for the Secretary to say so much and what he mentioned is not a case cited from some news reports but a statement made by the Managing Director of URA yesterday to reveal that consideration will be given to pricing the housing units developed under the Ma Tau Wai Road Project at a level below the market price
每當我們要求政府調整此比例時，局長往往推說恐怕會影響私營樓宇的供應。
Whenever a request is made to the Government for adjusting this supply ratio the Secretary would refuse and say that this could have an adverse impact on private housing supply
我相信政府若願意增加公營房屋的供應比例，日後無論要進行多麼大型的土地供應辯論，均可讓市民更加認同有需要增加土地供應以發展公營房屋。
I am sure if the Government is willing to raise the proportion of public housing in its housing supply target no matter what sort of grand debate it would like to launch on land supply in the future members of the public would only agree more with the Government that there is indeed a need to increase land supply for the development of public housing
然而，我希望在此重申，按照10年房屋需求推算，我們需要在未來10年提供280,000個公營房屋單位，但至今覓得的土地只足夠讓我們建設237,000個單位，我們仍然欠缺興建43,000個單位的土地。
However I would like to hereby reiterate that according to the 10 - year housing demand projection we have to provide 280 000 public housing units in the next 10 years but only 237 000 units can be built with the sites identified so far and there is still a lack of housing sites for the production of the remaining 43 000 units
所以，我們當下的目標是要追趕這個落差，我認為在能夠趕上這個落差後才把供應比例調升，是較為踏實和負責任的做法。
Therefore our immediate goal is to make up for this shortfall and I consider it more pragmatic and responsible to raise the proportion of public housing in our housing supply target only after this shortfall has already been made up
主席，我首先感謝梁志祥議員今天提出這項"跨境安老"議案及"福利可攜"的政策概念，讓本會可就此進行討論。
President I thank Mr LEUNG Che - cheung in the first place for moving the motion on Cross - boundary elderly care today bringing up the concept of welfare portability for discussion by this Council
其實，香港人返回內地退休養老並非新鮮事，過去十多二十年已經常出現。
Actually it is nothing new that Hong Kong people move to the Mainland and age there upon retirement for this has been quite common over the past two decades
我們一直也強調，讓長者返回內地安老是其中一種選擇，如果他們不願意，我們絕對應該讓他們在港安享晚年。
In fact we have been emphasizing that letting the elderly people spend their twilight years on the Mainland is one of the available options . If they are not willing to do so we definitely have to let them stay and age in Hong Kong
既然長者想在內地過其退休生活，那為何政府不在福利政策上放寬一點以便利這些長者呢？
Given that they wish to live on the Mainland upon retirement why not relax the welfare policy a bit to facilitate their such needs?
又或考慮與本港一所大學在深圳開設的一間醫院合作設立試點呢？
Or consider running a pilot programme at the University of Hong Kong - Shenzhen Hospital in this regard?
主席，香港人口正急速老化，因此我認為我們經常討論的安老問題，是香港社會現時所面對最大及最嚴重的問題。
President given that the population in Hong Kong has been ageing rapidly to care for the elderly has become the biggest and most serious social issue facing Hong Kong
很多市民均希望可以居家安老，但居住的地方是否適合？
A lot of citizens wish to age in place but the point is Are their homes suitable for this purpose?
居家安老的照顧服務能否應付？
Can the care service for people ageing in place cater for their such needs?
現時有38,000多人輪候宿位，局長說未來需有458間安老院舍才能解決問題。
At present there are 38 000 people waiting for vacancies in the RCHEs and according to the Secretary we need 458 RCHEs in the future to resolve the problem
香港在這段時間內，如何可以解決這個問題呢？
But actually how are we supposed to resolve the problem within this period?
因此，我十分感謝梁志祥議員今天提出這項議案，讓我們討論一下，如有長者想選擇在內地安老，我們可如何協助他們，以令他們可以在內地安享晚年。
Hence I am really grateful towards Mr LEUNG Che - cheung for moving the motion today so that we can discuss what we can do to help those elderly people who wish to spend their twilight years on the Mainland
這項議案原本很有建設性，但很可惜，我剛才聽聞多位反對派議員以一些負面的字眼來形容，例如"掟"長者到內地，由得他們自生自滅、如香港不先把問題處理好，就不要打內地主意，又指我們"強迫"長者回去內地安老。
This is initially a very constructive motion but regrettably I heard various Members who have spoken just now use negative wording in their speeches such as throwing the elderly people back to the Mainland leaving them on their own and their families never care if they live or perish . Those Members also made negative remarks such as Hong Kong should not take advantage of the Mainland before they have properly dealt with the issue . Also they accused us of compelling the elderly people to go back to the Mainland and age there
當然，當中涉及最大的問題，就是今天梁志祥議員在議案中提出有關福利的可攜性。
It goes without saying that the biggest issue involved here is the portability of welfare benefits as raised in Mr LEUNG Che - cheungs motion
因此，梁議員的議案，均提及長者生活津貼、傷殘津貼、病歷、醫療券等的可攜性。
Thus Mr LEUNG mentioned in his motion the portability of the Old Age Living Allowance Disability Allowance medical records and Health Care vouchers
這些我們都希望提出來，促請政府盡快落實，讓長者可以安心。
We wish to bring all these to the Governments attention urging it to implement in an expeditious manner our recommendations so as to put the elderly peoples mind at ease
長遠而言，政府必須考慮如何協助更多醫療機構在大灣區落戶。
In the long run the Government should consider ways to help more medical institutions to set up their bases in the Guangdong - Hong Kong - Macao Bay Area
其實，有很多醫療集團及醫療機構均希望在內地發展，奈何在內地興建診所或醫院並不容易。
Actually quite a large number of health care groups and medical institutions wish to seek development on the Mainland but it is not that easy for them to build clinics or hospitals there
所以，政府現時可計劃一下在大灣區先行先試，我們真的可以在這方面加大力度，協助更多香港的醫療機構在內地落戶。
Thus for the time being our Government may come up with plans of launching early and pilot programmes in the Bay Area . We are indeed in a position to enhance our efforts in this regard in hopes of helping more local medical institutions to set up their bases on the Mainland in particular the Bay Area
這樣既可以服務長者，也可以服務在內地居住的香港人。
By doing so services can be provided not only to the elderly people but also to those Hong Kong people residing on the Mainland
主席，據報，警方於前年在一間道具公司內搜出大量據稱用作電影道具的紙幣複製品。
President it has been reported that in the year before last the Police found in a props company a large number of replica banknotes which were claimed to be used as film props
該公司的東主於上月被裁定管有流通紙幣的偽製品罪成，判囚4個月，緩刑兩年執行。
The owner of the company was convicted last month of possessing counterfeit currency notes and sentenced to four months imprisonment suspended for two years
有電影業人士對該判決感到憤怒及震驚，並指當局從來沒有就複製紙幣的法律規定發出清晰指引及進行宣傳，令業內人士誤墮法網。
Angered and shocked by the judgment some members of the film industry pointed out that the authorities had never issued clear guidelines on the legal requirements for reproduction of banknotes nor had they carried out publicity in this respect resulting in members of the industry breaching the law inadvertently
主席，根據《刑事罪行條例》第103條，任何人在任何物質上，以正確或不正確的比例複製任何香港流通紙幣或其任何部分，必須經香港金融管理局書面同意。
President according to section 103 of the Crimes Ordinance a person who reproduces on any substance whatsoever and whether or not to the correct scale any Hong Kong currency note or any part of a Hong Kong currency note must first obtain the consent in writing of the Hong Kong Monetary Authority HKMA
統籌科並擔當橋樑角色，於昨日安排業 界代表與金管局及警方舉行會議，作直接交流。
FSO acted as a facilitator and lined up a meeting yesterday 19 June for industry representatives to exchange views direct with HKMA and the Police
出席會議的業界包括香港電影工作者總會、香港電視專業人員協會、香港電影導演會、香港電影副導演會、香港電影美術學會及香港電影製作行政人員協會的代表。
Industry participants included representatives of the Federation of Hong Kong Filmmakers the Hong Kong Televisions Association the Hong Kong Film Directors Guild the Hong Kong Film Assistant Directors Association the Hong Kong Film Arts Association and the Hong Kong Movie Production Executives Association
會議就現時使用"道具鈔票"進行拍攝須作出的申請手續及須遵守的條款作出了說明，並由警方解釋一貫跟進後續工作的安排，包括儲存、銷毀"道具鈔票"的要求及監控措施，以釋除業界的疑慮。
At the meeting to ease the concerns of the trade detailed explanations were given on the existing application procedures and compliance requirements for using prop currency notes for filming; the Police also elaborated on their established follow - up arrangements including the requirements for storage and destruction of the prop currency notes and monitoring measures
會議各方亦致力討論如何加強業界對相關守則的理解，務求在切合業界訴求和有效防止罪案中取得適當平衡。
Parties at the meeting also discussed ways to enhance the trades understanding of the relevant guidelines with a view to achieving a suitable balance between meeting the trades expectations and effective crime prevention
其中，為進一步便利業界理解指引的要求，金管局會提供中文版的申請指引。金管局並已將申請指引上載至金管局的網站，方便閱覽。
In particular to further facilitate the trades understanding of the requirements under the guidelines HKMA would provide the application guidelines in Chinese which has now been uploaded to HKMAs website for easy reference
統籌科的網站亦已附有相關連結。
A link to the guidelines has also been provided on FSOs website
金管局稍後會在申請指引附上"道具鈔票"的尺寸範本，列出"道具鈔票"設計和字樣必須有異於真鈔之處；指引亦會夾附申請表格，方便申請人填寫。
HKMA will in slower time attach to the guidelines a set of samples demonstrating the required size of the prop currency notes and distinguishing designs and features that would set the prop notes apart from genuine banknotes . An application form will also be attached to the guidelines to facilitate the applicants filling out of the required information
三 電影道具屬於影視製作的專業。
3 Making props is a professional segment of the film and television sectors
根據統籌科的了解，雖然現時有不少道具公司為業界提供各種不同的道具，但大部分電影製作所需的道具均是由個別電影的美術指導，因應該電影的拍攝需要而購入或特製而成。
As per FSOs understanding while there are a number of prop companies providing different props for the industry most of the props used for film productions are specifically procured or produced by art directors of individual films to suit the specific filming needs of that particular film concerned
由於道具種類繁多，而個別製作對道具要求各異，由政府劃一規管和設立規範制度不符合成本效益，亦會窒礙業界的創作。
Given the tremendous variety and types of props and the different requirements of and for props peculiar to different productions it would not be cost - effective for the Government to standardize the regulation of the making of different props a move which would also dampen the creativity of the industry
現時，使用道具鈔票或改裝槍械作拍攝用途均已有既定的申請程序及指引，有關當局就個別製作發出批准許可前考慮的因素亦有所不同，難以劃一處理。
Currently there are established procedures for and guidelines on using prop banknotes or modified firearms for filming purposes . The relevant authorities would take into account of considerations relevant to the project concerned in granting permissions . It is therefore difficult to standardize the handling of props across the board
就個別的道具，例如仿造政府人員委任證或部門徽號，統籌科亦會協助業界取得相關部門的同意，以確保有關物品不會侵犯版權。
For production of certain props such as identity or warrant cards of government officers or logos of government departments FSO would assist in obtaining consent from the relevant departments to ensure no infringement of copyrights
統籌科亦會繼續就着各種不同的其他個別個案，提供適切的支援，協助業界解決拍攝疑難。
FSO will also continue to provide appropriate assistance to the trade in handling other filming issues
主席，從政府的主體答覆可見，它認為自己過往完全沒有做錯，只提出要加強和便利業界對此事的理解，但其實它過往是立即拒絕業界提出申請的，甚至有一段時間不容許業界提出申請。
President the main reply shows that the Government does not think there is anything wrong with its existing practices . It only talks about the need to make it easier for the industry to enhance its understanding of the matter . But the truth is that in the past the Government actually rejected applications from the industry upfront and even stopped accepting applications from the industry for some time
政府現時想簡化程序，我今早與業內人士再作商討，並提出以下兩點建議，希望政府再作考慮。
The Government now wants to simplify the procedures . I had a discussion with members of the industry this morning and we came up with the following two proposals for the Governments consideration
第一，是既環保又無須銷毀"道具鈔票"，並可支持業界的做法，就是由政府提供一定數量的"道具鈔票"，並由統籌科儲存在某些地點供業界借用。
The first proposal is environment - friendly and will save the need to destroy replica banknotes . It can also support the development of the industry . The Government can provide a fixed quantity of replica banknotes and then entrust FSO to keep stock of the replica banknotes for borrowing by the industry
業界可以通過某些責任人借用，然後再歸還政府供日後使用；第二，是參考外國例子，若業界符合某些標準，便可以豁免手續繁複的申請，或只須作簡單通知後，便可以使用一定數量符合標準的"道具鈔票"。
Designated persons of the industry can borrow the replica banknotes for use and then return them to the Government . The second proposal is based on overseas practices . Companies in the industry that can meet certain standards can be exempted from the complicated application formalities or are only required to make a simple notification for using a fixed quantity of standard replica banknotes
據我了解，金管局在2017年年底曾收到數宗申請，但當時由於有數宗偽鈔刑事案件正進行調查，所以金管局為了審慎起見，便回覆暫時不接受申請，但在回覆中忘記寫上"暫時不接受申請"。
As far as I know HKMA received several applications at the end of 2017 at which time investigations on several criminal cases of counterfeit currency notes were in progress . Out of prudence HKMA put applications on hold but it forgot to state this reason in its reply
此外，我同意涂謹申議員說要向前看。
Moreover I agree with Mr James TO that we should look ahead
此外，我想指出，"道具鈔票"只是製作道具的其中一個項目，統籌科過往收到的業界查詢個案中，其實只收到10多宗是關於"道具鈔票"，可見統籌科過往主要是協調外境拍攝的工作。
Moreover I wish to point out that prop banknotes are only one segment of prop production . In the applications received from the industry by FSO only 10 - odd applications were about prop banknotes . It is thus evident that FSO has mainly been assisting the industry in conducting outdoor shooting
至於其他道具，例如制服、部門徽號或證件等，我們亦會繼續做好統籌、協調角色。
As for other props such as uniforms logos or identity cards of departments we will continue to facilitate and assist such matters
在製作方面，正如業界在昨天和過往數星期向我們反映，他們不介意繼續依循現有制度，他們主要想清楚知道指引和申請程序。就此，我們是做到的。
Regarding props production as members of the sectors said to us yesterday and in the past weeks they do not mind following the existing system . They mainly wish to know the guidelines and application procedures clearly and we have done so
主席，我留意到在主體答覆第二部分提到有關複製香港流通紙幣的規定，但對於這些規定，例如要求尺寸要比實物大五分之一、小五分之一或要有"水印"等，其實最終會令電影拍攝失真。
President part 2 of the Secretarys main reply mentions the requirements on replicating Hong Kong currency notes such as the need for replicas to bear the water mark and be one - fifth bigger or smaller than genuine banknotes . But these requirements will reduce the realism of films
就着有關指引，正如我提到，詳細的申請程序和指引已經上載至網站。
Regarding the guidelines as I have said details of the application procedures and the guidelines have been uploaded onto the website
所以，我鼓勵業界多使用這個渠道，而統籌科亦願意擔當橋樑角色，聯繫業界和相關部門。
I thus encourage the industry to use this channel more and FSO is more than willing to act as a bridge between the industry and the relevant departments
正如我剛才所說，我們不會擔當製作"道具鈔票"的角色，其實市場上已經有供應。
As I just said we will not take up the production of prop banknotes . In fact there is already this service in the market
因此，就着這方面，我們會留待業界繼續處理，而業界在昨天的會議和過去數星期的溝通，也表示滿意我們的答覆，並會循着這個方向繼續合作。
We thus need to strike a balance in our work . Hence we will leave this to the industry to tackle . The industry is satisfied with our replies made in the meetings yesterday and over the past week and we will continue to cooperate in this direction
局長在主體答覆的第四段表示，"金管局會提供中文版的申請指引......並已將申請指引上載至金管局的網站......統籌科的網站亦已附有相關連結"。
The Secretary states in the fourth paragraph of the main reply that HKMA will provide the application guidelines in Chinese which has now been uploaded to HKMAs website for easy reference; and a link to the guidelines has also been provided on FSOs website
這些措施是剛剛推出的，換言之，在此之前，金管局的網站並沒有中文版指引，而且統籌科的網站也沒有相關連結。
These are newly launched measures . In other words HKMAs website did not have application guidelines in Chinese before and FSOs website did not have the link either
當有人提出申請，當局便回覆不接受有關複製香港紙幣作道具的申請，局長今天澄清，這是暫時的，但暫時也是有問題的，難道因為有案件便暫停所有拍攝嗎？
The authorities did not accept applications for replicating Hong Kong currency notes to be used as film props and the Secretary has clarified today that it was only a temporary decision . Although the decision was temporary it is still a problem . Should all film shooting be stopped just because an investigation into a case is in progress?
主席，我的補充質詢是，由於之前如此不清不楚這是政府也承認的即使有人想奉公守法，按法定程序申請，其實也相當艱難。
President here is my supplementary question . Since the application procedures have been unclear which the Government also admits law - abiding individuals find it difficult to submit applications according to the statutory procedures
陳議員提到涉案人士犯法的問題，並問政府或相關部門是否有責任。
Mr CHAN mentioned people who did not duly comply with the procedures and breached the law and asked whether the Government or the departments concerned should take responsibility
我首先想指出一點，提出檢控的決定，是由警方根據律政司的法律意見，並且視乎案情和證據而提出的。
First I wish to point out that the decision to initiate prosecution is made by the Police based on legal advice from the Department of Justice and the circumstances of individual cases and the evidence available
我們知道現時涉案人士已經準備提出上訴，所以就這方面，我不會多作評論。
We know that the person concerned is about to file an appeal . Thus I will not make any comments on the case
我不是指單一案件，我是說在剛才的處境下，如果有市民不能夠做足這些工夫而犯法，政府是否負有部分責任？
I am not referring to any specific case . I am saying that in the circumstance just mentioned whether the Government should be held partly responsible for people who breach the law because they cannot duly comply with the procedures
首先，我想澄清一點，我們的法例要求或申請指引絕對不是針對業界推出的。
First of all I wish to clarify that the laws or the application guidelines are not drafted specifically for the industry
正如我在主體答覆所說，我們過去看到有市民因為"道具鈔票"而蒙受損失，所以有制定法例的需要，以在協助業界和保障市民之間作出平衡。
As I said in the main reply we saw members of the public suffer losses involving prop banknotes . It is thus necessary to enact an ordinance to strike a balance between assisting the industry and protecting the public
陳議員剛才提及，過去為何統籌科沒有相關指引或網站沒有相關說明呢？
Mr CHAN just asked why FSO did not have the guidelines concerned or why the website did not have the relevant information
我想指出，我剛才在回答跟進質詢時也曾提及，過去業界提出拍攝外景或其他方面的訴求比較多，就製作"道具鈔票"，我們過去只接獲13宗查詢而已，我們亦已即時將個案轉介金管局處理，所以數量方面其實不算多，我們過往亦有作出跟進。
I wish to say as I also said in a follow - up reply just now that past applications submitted by the industry mostly concern outdoor filming or other requests for assistance and we only received 13 applications regarding prop banknotes . We promptly transferred the applications to HKMA for processing . So quantity - wise there are not many applications and we have followed up the applications
正如涂議員所說，我們向前看，我們要再做好一些，我們已在金管局網站和統籌科網站提供相關資料。
As Mr James TO said we have to be forward - looking . We have to do better . We have already provided the relevant information in HKMAs website and FSOs website
我們有責任說清楚條例的申請程序和指引，我們在過去數星期和昨天的會議均已作出相關動作。
We have the responsibility to clearly explain the application procedures under the law and the guidelines . We have done so in the meetings over the past few weeks and yesterday
但是，我要提醒政府當局，有關"道具鈔票"的問題，涉及的不僅 影視界，也包括教育界，可能大家會感到十分奇怪，我特別是指特殊學校。
However I have a reminder for the Administration . The problem of prop banknotes affects not just the film and television industries but also the education sector . People may find what I said peculiar
我接獲部分特殊學校老師的求助，因為他們擔心誤墮法網。
I am specifically referring to special schools here . Some teachers of special schools have sought help from me . They are worried that they may breach the law inadvertently because they need to use banknotes to teach small children not to be cheated
當局除了回應影視界方面的需求，其實也要留意特殊學校的需求。
In fact apart from addressing the needs of the film and television industries the authorities should also address the needs of special schools
我留意到金管局上載的"複製香港流通紙幣作道具鈔票"列明，申請人要提供的其中一項資料是"電影或電視節目名稱"，亦即是說，不適用於學校，即現在學校沒有申請途徑。
I notice that HKMA uploaded onto its website the Reproduction of Hong Kong Currency Notes as Stage Money . The guidelines state that applicants have to provide the name of the film or TV programme concerned; in other words the guidelines are not applicable to schools . Schools do not have a channel to apply for using prop banknotes
據我所知，金管局在過去10年接獲的600多宗申請中，大部分是用作教育或教學用途，所以金管局在這方面會作出適當處理。
As far as I know most of the 600 - odd applications received by HKMA in the past 10 years were for education or teaching purposes . Hence HKMA will make suitable decisions in this regard
所以，局長剛才也說，過去申請數量很少，但我們從電視及電影卻看到很多這類場面，說明業界過去有點無所適從，有些人不知道要申請；有些人知道要申請，但覺得很難獲批，所以選擇不申請。
But we do see that many TV programmes and films with scenes using prop banknotes . This shows that the industries have been at a loss what to do . Some of them do not know they are required to make applications and those who do know find it difficult to obtain approval so they choose not to make applications
我相信在昨天的會議上，很多關注點已得到澄清及了解， 業界亦很願意守法，循規蹈矩，尊重社會的需要。
I believe the meeting yesterday has allayed many of our concerns and increased our understanding of the matter . The industries are willing to comply with the law and respect the needs of society
當然，我們會繼續跟業界及馬議員緊密聯繫，如果業界要求，我們會持開放態度。
But of course we will continue to liaise closely with the industries and Mr MA . We remain open in this regard if the sectors do have such a request
會議廳內已有足夠法定人數，會議現在繼續。
A quorum is present in the Chamber . The meeting now continues
財經事務及庫務局局長，請作答。
Secretary for Financial Services and the Treasury please give a reply
何啟明議員，請提出主體質詢。
Mr HO Kai - ming please ask your main question
據報，上月有一間公司進入自動清盤程序並遣散一百多名員工。
It has been reported that last month a company was placed into voluntary liquidation and made more than 100 employees redundant
由 於該公積金計劃獲強積金豁免，強制性公積金計劃管理局未能提供協助，而受託人只建議他們要求清盤人盡快提交有關資料。
As the ORSO scheme has been granted Mandatory Provident Fund MPF exemption the Mandatory Provident Fund Schemes Authority MPFA is unable to provide assistance and the trustee has only advised them to request the liquidator to furnish the relevant information expeditiously
關於公積金計劃的規管事宜，政府可否告知本會：一現時有多少個獲強積金豁免的公積金計劃；是否知悉目前分別有多少名僱主和僱員參加該等計劃，以及它們的累算權益總額；二現行法例有否規定清盤人須在某時限內把清盤公司的公積金計劃戶口資料送交計劃受託人；如否，政府會否就此立法，以期加快有關程序；及三會否研究立法把公積金計劃納入積金局的規管範圍？
Regarding the regulation of ORSO schemes will the Government inform this Council 1 of the current number of ORSO schemes that have been granted MPF exemption; whether it knows the respective current numbers of employers and employees who have joined such schemes and the total accrued benefits under such schemes; 2 whether a liquidator is required under the existing legislation to furnish within a certain timeframe the account information of the ORSO scheme of the company in liquidation to the trustee of the scheme; if not whether the Government will enact legislation in this regard with a view to expediting the relevant procedure; and 3 whether it will study the enactment of legislation to include ORSO schemes in the regulatory scope of MPFA?
代理主席，《職業退休計劃條例》的目的，是為僱主自願成立的職業退休計劃設立註冊制度，確保這些計劃受到妥善規管，以及為退休計劃下承諾給予僱員的退休計劃權益可如期支付增加確定性。
Deputy President the objective of the Occupational Retirement Schemes Ordinance Cap . 426 is to establish a registration system for occupational retirement schemes voluntarily established by employers to ensure that such schemes are properly regulated and to provide greater certainty that retirement scheme benefits of these schemes promised to employees will be paid when they fall due
任何僱主如果營運屬《條例》管限的退休計劃，必須向職業退休計劃註冊處處長，即強制性公積金計劃管理局申請註冊或豁免。
Employers who operate retirement schemes that fall under the ambit of the Ordinance are required to apply to the Registrar of Occupational Retirement Schemes namely the Mandatory Provident Fund Schemes Authority MPFA for registration or exemption of their schemes
當強制性公積金制度在2000年12月1日開始實施時，《條例》下的註冊計劃及獲豁免計劃可根據《強制性公積金計劃規例》，向積金局申請豁免受強積金法例的規限。
When the Mandatory Provident Fund MPF system was launched on 1 December 2000 registered schemes and exempted schemes under the Ordinance may apply to MPFA for MPF exemption pursuant to the Mandatory Provident Fund Schemes Exemption Regulation Cap . 485B
