更嚴重的是，反對派不但沒有停止，反而變本加厲，成為"攬炒"、"黑暴"和"港獨"派，他們不但想奪取香港的管治權，甚至勾結外部勢力，企圖將香港從祖國分裂出去，嚴重損害香港社會的長期繁榮穩定，挑戰"一國兩制"的底線，情況已經到了中央必須出手的地步。
Worse still the opposition camp not only refused to stop . They even went further to become the camp of mutual destruction black - clad violence and Hong Kong independence . Not only did they want to seize the power to govern Hong Kong they even colluded with external forces in an attempt to make Hong Kong secede from the Motherland seriously jeopardizing the long - term prosperity and stability of Hong Kong society and challenging the bottom line of one country two systems
2019年"黑暴"禍港，立法會大樓被毀於一旦，中資機構被惡意破壞，市民被"黑衣人"無差別攻擊，警隊疲於奔命，我相信很多人依然歷歷在目，猶有餘悸。
Members of the public were indiscriminately attacked by black - clad people . Rushing around on duties the Police were tired out . I believe what happened is still vivid with lingering fears in the minds of many people
2020年，中央政府終於出手訂立《香港國安法》，即時起了重大的震懾作用，不但平息了持續多月的社會動亂，更將一些反中亂港、意圖危害國家安全的不法分子繩之於法。
In 2020 the Central Government finally stepped in to enact the Hong Kong National Security Law which immediately produced a formidable deterrent effect . It not only quelled the months of social unrest but also brought to justice lawbreakers who opposed China and stirred up trouble in Hong Kong with intent to endanger national security . However there were still loopholes in the electoral system of SAR
然而，特區選舉制度依然存在漏洞，立法會7個月也未能選出內務委員會主席，維護國家尊嚴的《國歌條例草案》拖延了1年多，大大小小有利民生經濟的法案均被無了期拖延，令香港幾乎進入不能管治的境地。
The Legislative Council was unable to elect the Chairman of the House Committee for seven months . The National Anthem Bill which sought to uphold the dignity of the country was delayed for more than a year . Major and minor bills beneficial to peoples livelihood and the economy were delayed indefinitely making Hong Kong almost ungovernable
當時的無力感，我身在其中，亦不禁要問，究竟香港甚麼時候可以走出困境，重新出發呢？
Sharing the feeling of helplessness at that time I could not help but ask when Hong Kong could get out of the predicament and make a fresh start
為徹底解決問題，中央政府再度出手，從國家層面完善特區選舉制度，讓香港可以撥亂反正、由亂及治。
To thoroughly resolve the problem the Central Government stepped in again to improve the electoral system of SAR at the national level so that Hong Kong can put things right and restore order from chaos
我相信只有"一國兩制"全面準確貫徹落實，香港才可以長治久安，香港的民主才可以健康發展起來。
I believe it is only when one country two systems is fully and accurately implemented that Hong Kong may enjoy long - term stability and safety and democracy can develop in a healthy manner in Hong Kong
今年3月11日，全國人大會議高票通過《全國人民代表大會關於完善香港特別行政區選舉制度的決定》。
On 11 March this year the National Peoples Congress NPC passed the Decision on Improving the Electoral System of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region by an overwhelming majority vote
3月30日人大常委會會議亦通過修改《基本法》附件一和附件二，完善行政長官、選舉委員會和立法會的產生辦法，做法完全是對症下藥，為落實"愛國者治港"踏出重要的一步，亦合法合憲，合情合理。
At the meeting on 30 March the Standing Committee of NPC adopted the amended Annexes I and II to the Basic Law to improve the methods for the selection of the Chief Executive and formation of the Election Committee EC and the Legislative Council giving precisely the right prescription for the malady . It was an important step towards the implementation of patriots administering Hong Kong . It is legal constitutional reasonable and sensible
代理主席，今次完善選舉制度的核心內容，是重新構建選委會。
Deputy President the core element of this exercise on improving the electoral system is the reconstitution of EC
選委會由現時的1,200人增至1,500人；新增的第五界別，由港區全國人大代表和港區全國政協委員擔任當然委員，有關全國性團體的香港代表亦會互選選委，不但令選委會具更廣泛的代表性，亦可確保選委會委員以愛國者為主體，從國家發展大局的高度審視問題，令國家安全和發展利益得到更充分的保障。
The number of EC members will be increased from the present 1 200 to 1 500 . In the newly added Fifth Sector HKSAR deputies to NPC and HKSAR members of the National Committee of the Chinese Peoples Political Consultative Conference will serve as ex - officio members while representatives of Hong Kong members of relevant national organizations will elect members from among themselves . It will not only make EC more broadly representative but also ensure that EC members are exclusively patriots who examine issues from the big picture of national development
選委會獲賦予兩項新的重要職能，負責選舉40名選委會界別的立法會議員，以及參與提名全部立法會議員候選人和行政長官候選人。
The interests of national security and development will thus be more fully protected . EC is vested with two new important functions namely to elect 40 Legislative Council Members from the EC constituency and to participate in the nomination of all the candidates in the Legislative Council election and candidates in the Chief Executive election
由選委會選舉產生較大比例的立法會議員，完全符合香港的整體利益考慮，亦能鼓勵更多有能之士進入立法會，協助立法會更好地履行其憲制責任，與特區政府互相配合，互相制衡。
It is entirely consistent with the overall interests of Hong Kong for EC to elect a larger proportion of Legislative Council Members . It will also encourage more capable people to join the Legislative Council and help the Council better perform its constitutional duties while complementing the SAR Government and keeping checks and balances on each other
至於規定選委會委員提名行政長官候選人和參與提名立法會議員候選人，亦可強化候選人的代表性和認受性，令候選人必須顧及不同界別的利益和訴求，同時亦把不同界別、團體和地區的利益，與香港社會的整體利益互相結合。
The requirement for EC members to nominate candidates in the Chief Executive election and participate in the nomination of candidates in the Legislative Council election can enhance the representativeness and legitimacy of the candidates . Consequently the candidates must take into account the interests and demands of different sectors and at the same time incorporate the interests of various sectors groups and districts into the overall interests of Hong Kong society
立法會議席由70席增至90席，令立法會具更廣泛的民意基礎。
The increase in the number of seats in the Legislative Council from 70 to 90 will give the Council a broader public mandate
我想特別提出，鄉議局在立法會的功能界別議席獲得保留，在選委會中的界別分組席位更有所增加，完全體現了中央政府對鄉議局的信任和支持。
In particular I would like to point out that Heung Yee Kuk has retained its functional constituency seat in the Legislative Council while its seats in the EC subsector have increased which fully manifests the Central Governments trust and support for Heung Yee Kuk
我對於這份支持和信任，表示衷心感謝。
I wish to express my heartfelt gratitude for this support and trust
經過法案委員會同事的努力，今天終於可以進行二讀辯論。
After the hard work of Honourable colleagues in the Bills Committee the Second Reading debate can finally resume today
我相信廣大香港市民也支持《條例草案》。
I believe that the general public in Hong Kong supports the Bill
事實上，自從人大通過完善香港選舉制度的《決定》後，建制派短短數日已經收集到238萬名市民聯署支持，可見人大的《決定》是民心所向。
As a matter of fact within just a few days after NPC passed the Decision on improving the electoral system in Hong Kong the pro - establishment camp collected 2.38 million signatures from the public rendering their support . It shows that NPCs Decision is the peoples wish
大家均希望盡快完善選舉制度，讓社會可以重回正軌，集中精力發展經濟，改善民生，並確保"一國兩制"行穩致遠，香港長治久安。
We all hope that the electoral system can be improved as soon as possible so that society can get back on track and focus on economic development and improving peoples livelihood as well as ensuring the steadfast and successful implementation of one country two systems and long - term stability and safety of Hong Kong
代理主席，我再次代表鄉議局支持《條例草案》通過，亦多謝政府聆聽民意，作出400多項修正。
Deputy President on behalf of Heung Yee Kuk I once again express support for the passage of the Bill . I also thank the Government for listening to public opinion and making over 400 amendments
未來還有很多複雜而龐大的工作需要做，包括五大直選區重新劃為10個，以及選委會界別重新構建後所衍生出來的選民登記工作。
A lot of complex and extensive work is yet to be done in the future including the re - delineation of the five geographical constituencies into 10 and the voter registration work arising from the new constitution of the EC constituency
政府必須向各界好好解說法例如何落地執行，始終不同界別對新法例的執行未必完全清楚了解，包括具多重身份的人士屬於哪個界別、可以循哪個界別參與選舉等。
The Government must properly explain to all sectors how the legislation will be implemented . After all different sectors may not have a full understanding of the implementation of the new legislation including under which constituency people with multiple capacities fall and through which sector they may participate in election
要解說理順清楚，以應付未來3場重要選舉，使人大的《決定》得以圓滿落實，讓香港可以重新出發。
It is necessary to give a clear explanation in order to cope with the three upcoming important elections such that NPCs Decision can be successfully implemented and Hong Kong can start afresh
主席，政府多年來一直鼓勵運輸業界試驗及使用綠色創新運輸技術，包括電動及混合動力的公共小型巴士。
President over the years the Government has been encouraging the transport sector to try out and use green innovative transport technologies including electric and hybrid public light buses PLBs
就此，政府可否告知本會：一政府推動小巴服務營運者轉用電動小巴的工作的最新進展；有否就此制訂時間表；二鑒於政府正推展在觀塘市中心公共運輸交匯處設置電動小巴快速充電設施及提供相關收費充電服務的試驗計劃，該計劃的最新進展為何；及三鑒於有小巴服務營運者表示，政府一直未能解決電動小巴充電設施不足的問題，是令業界對投入更多資源轉用電動小巴感到猶疑的主因，政府有何新方法解決此問題？
In this connection will the Government inform this Council 1 of the latest progress of the Governments efforts in promoting the switch to electric PLBs e - PLBs by PLB service operators; whether it has drawn up a timetable for that; 2 as the Government is taking forward a pilot scheme on setting up fast charging facilities for e - PLBs and providing a relevant paid charging service at the public transport interchange in Kwun Tong Town Centre of the latest progress of the scheme; and 3 as some PLB service operators have indicated that the Governments failure to resolve the problem of insufficient charging facilities for e - PLBs all along is the main reason for the trades hesitation in putting in more resources for switching to e - PLBs of the Governments new solutions to this problem?
主席，就局長的主體答覆，坦白說，不知道情況的人會覺得這樣也不錯，但知道實情的人真是"得啖笑"，被局長嚇死。
President as far as the Secretarys main reply is concerned frankly speaking those who do not understand the situation will find it quite alright but those who understand the actual situation will find it a joke and be shocked by the Secretary
局長的主體答覆，驟眼看來政府好像做了很多工作，全盤計劃也做得不錯，但重點是局長的主體答覆沒有用大量篇幅回應現在業界和市民的關注。
At a glance the Secretarys main reply makes it seems like the Government has done a lot of work with a decent overall planning . However the point is that the Secretary did not go into great lengths in the main reply to respond to the current concerns of the both the industry and the public
市民的要求很簡單，希望政府能夠做好促進者、推動者的角色，在電動小巴方面，乘客可以舒服而安全地回家，在交匯處候車時至少不會一頭廢氣。
The aspirations of the public are very simple . They hope that the Government can properly play the role of a facilitator and promoter in respect of e - PLBs so that passengers can go home comfortably and safely and do not have to inhale exhaust fumes when waiting at PTIs
局長，我想告訴你，如果政府有決心做的話，是否真的......"財爺"今年撥出8,000萬元，但要到2023年才展開試驗計劃，到2025年才推行。
Secretary I want to tell you that if the Government is determined to do so it is really the Financial Secretary will allocate 80 million this year for the trial scheme which will only commence in 2023 and implemented in 2025
主席，局長完全沒有回答我的問題，究竟當局有沒有一個成效指標，推動在公共運輸交匯處落實計劃？
President the Secretary has not answered my question at all . Does the Administration have any performance indicator for promoting the implementation of the scheme at PTIs?
剛才我聽到局長表示，招標有數個有興趣的parties入標，但沒有一個合適。
Just now I heard the Secretary say that tenders from several interested parties were received but none of them were suitable
正如局長剛才所說，小巴在全球來說是特別的車種，透過一般招標，符合要求或有興趣的人士的確少之又少，當局會否考慮主動出擊，例如在內地有很多製造電動車的車廠，只要特區政府能夠抱持誠意的態度，也可以邀請內地廠商來港落標，當局有否這樣做呢？
As the Secretary has pointed out PLB is a vehicle type unique to Hong Kong so it is indeed unlikely to find interested parties meeting the requirements through general tenders . Will the Administration consider taking an active approach? . For example there are many factories manufacturing electric vehicles in the Mainland
主席，局長剛才在主體答覆中表示，由於廢物管理產生的碳排放有高達九成源自堆填區，擺脫依賴堆填區有助香港深度減碳。
President the Secretary said in his main reply earlier that as up to 90 % of the carbon emissions generated from waste management came from landfills moving away from reliance on landfills could help Hong Kong achieve deep decarbonization
不過，政府目前仍然要求立法會支持擴建新界西堆填區，而第一座轉廢為能的設施尚在興建中，日後每天亦只能處理3000噸都市廢物。
However the Government is still seeking support from the Legislative Council for the extension of the West New Territories Landfill while the construction of the first waste - to - energy facility is underway and only 3 000 tonnes of municipal waste can be disposed of per day in future
主席，我想問局長，政府有何具體計劃，以擺脫依賴堆填區直接處置廢物？
President may I ask the Secretary what specific plans the Government has in place to move away from reliance on landfills for direct waste disposal?
主席，我想問局長，他在主體答覆提到，廢物管理產生的碳排放有高達九成源自堆填區，我想問政府，現時正進行新界西堆填區擴展計劃，而新界西是大灣區的中心點，即屯門龍鼓灘附近，該處有很多設施，包括煤電廠、回收園等。
President my question to the Secretary is this In the main reply he mentioned that up to 90 % of the carbon emissions generated from waste management came from landfills and my question is the West New Territories Landfill Extension Scheme is being carried out now and West New Territories is at the centre of the Greater Bay Area that is in the vicinity of Lung Kwu Tan where there are many facilities including coal - fired power station recycling park etc
主席，轉變經濟和生活方式可解決氣候變化的問題。
President making changes to the economy and lifestyles can resolve the problem of climate change
推進碳中和是全球的趨勢，我非常支持政府今年更新《香港氣候行動藍圖》，具體落實香港在2050年邁向碳中和的目標。
Promoting carbon neutrality is a global trend and I very much support the Government in updating the Hong Kong Climate Action Plan this year to specifically set out the goal of moving towards carbon neutrality in 2050 in Hong Kong
現時，香港有三分之二的碳排放源自發電，如果要達至碳中和，必須大幅提升零碳能源或可再生能源在整體發電燃料組合所佔的比例。
At present two thirds of carbon emissions in Hong Kong come from power generation and to achieve carbon neutrality it is necessary to substantially increase the proportion of zero - carbon energy or renewable energy in the overall fuel mix for power generation
局長亦承認香港以可再生能源發電的目標有調整的空間；另外，香港山多平地少，單靠本地生產的可再生能源難以達致碳中和的目標，即使是倫敦、紐約等大城市，當地使用的可再生能源也是依靠其他地區輸入。
The Secretary has also admitted that there is room for adjusting the target of power generation by renewable energy . Besides given the mountainous terrain and shortage of flat land in Hong Kong mere reliance on locally produced renewable energy can hardly achieve the target of carbon neutrality and even for such metropolises as London and New York the renewable energy used there also rely on imports from other places
我想經主席詢問政府，就香港來說，除了本地兩家電力公司的減碳項目及上網電價計劃外，未來有甚麼措施可提高本地可再生能源的比例呢？
Through you President I would like to ask the Government this Insofar as Hong Kong is concerned apart from the decarbonization projects and the Feed - in Tariff Scheme of the two local power companies what other measures will be adopted in the future to increase the proportion of local renewable energy?
政府會否考慮加強區域合作，從境外輸入可再生能源？
Will the Government consider stepping up regional cooperation and importing renewable energy from places outside Hong Kong?
主席，局長在主體答覆第三頁第二部分提到，政府一直通過粵港環保及應對氣候變化合作小組提出一些具體的工作及進行很多交流，但就這些合作和交流來說，我曾接觸的環保業界其實有幾個更加關心的課題，我想就着這些課題向局長提問。
President in part 2 on the third page of the main reply the Secretary mentioned that the Government has proposed some concrete initiatives and conducted a lot of exchanges through the Hong Kong - Guangdong Joint Working Group on Environmental Protection and Combating Climate Change . But insofar as these collaborations and exchanges are concerned the environmental protection industry with which I have contacted is actually more concerned about several issues and I would like to ask the Secretary a question pertaining to these issues
局長指出在減碳和排碳方面已訂下目標，但很多業界朋友更加關心的是，在這種互動下，如何令綠色行業在這些安排上既有商機之餘，亦可以連接與內地的互動而不會出現兩個標準？
The Secretary pointed out that targets have been set for decarbonization and carbon emission . But many members of the industry are more concerned about how through these interactions the green industry can avail itself of business opportunities under such arrangements and also connect and interact with the Mainland without being confronted with two sets of standards
局長有何具體措施或成效指標，以回應現時綠色行業最關心的問題呢？
What specific measures or performance indicators have the Secretary put in place to respond to these issues of utmost concern to the green industry now?
香港作為現代化，高密度的大城市，整體的碳排放，以至個別行業或企業在這方面也有很大的減排空間。
In Hong Kong being a modernized densely - populated metropolis there is considerable room for the overall carbon emissions to be reduced and also for individual industries or enterprises to reduce their carbon emissions
最近國家通過的"十四五"規劃提到推動全國的碳排放權交易市場，而在剛剛1個月前發布的廣東省"十四五"規劃綱要，更提到可以利用香港的對外開放優勢，協助建立大灣區的統一碳市場。
The 14 Five Year Plan endorsed by the State recently mentioned the promotion of national markets for trading carbon emission rights and in the Outline of the 14 Five - Year Plan published by the Guangdong Province just a month ago it is even mentioned that an integrated carbon market can be established in the Greater Bay Area by leveraging on Hong Kongs advantage of being an open economy
大家也知道，服裝是全世界第二種最大污染的產品，他不去處理，如何做到他現在說的碳排放目標？
As we all know clothing is the second most polluting product in the world and when he does not do anything about it how can he achieve the carbon emission targets that he is talking about now?
根本不可能做到的。
It is downright impossible to achieve them
本會現在成為全體委員會，審議《2019年司法人員條例草案》。
Council now becomes committee of the whole Council to consider the Judicial Officers Amendment Bill 2019
觀乎外國先進國家制度，美國法官實行終身制，聯邦法院法官不設退休年齡，除非法官因違法或犯罪受到彈劾，又或法官主動辭職才會離任。
Considering the systems of advanced foreign countries the judges in the United States serve for life and the Federal Court Judges do not have a retirement age . Judges will only leave office if they are impeached for illegal or criminal acts or they resign on their own initiative
當然，我們也希望法官及司法人員的人手問題在短時間內可以解決，這樣便可以讓更多年輕、有能力、有抱負的法官及司法人員有更多晉升機會。
Of course we also hope that the manpower issues of JJOs can be resolved within a short time as this will provide more promotion opportunities to young competent and aspiring JJOs
要培養一名法官是非常不容易的，如果他們年齡尚輕便要退休，事實上是浪費人力資源。
Given the difficulties in training judges if judges have to retire when they are still young this is actually a waste of human resources
主席，現時司法機構的確要應付大量積壓的案件，市民亦期望法庭可以盡快審理案件。
Chairman at present the Judiciary actually has to deal with a large backlog of cases and members of the public also expect that the cases will be expeditiously handled by the courts
但在現時的困局下，提呈案件越來越多。
However given the current predicament the number of cases is increasing
案件既多且複雜，而現時司法人手卻不足。
The cases involved are numerous and complicated but there is a shortage of judicial manpower
因此，延展法官及司法人員的退休年齡是非常重要的，特別是一些複雜的案件，更需要由有經驗的法官來審理。
Therefore it is very important to extend the retirement age of JJOs especially when some complicated cases should be heard by experienced judges
預計未來有過萬宗司法覆核個案需待處理，以現有法官的人力和設施限制，需要多少年才能處理所有個案呢？
It is anticipated that more than 10 000 judicial review cases will have to be processed in future . Subject to the constraints of the manpower of judges and facilities at present how many years will it take to process all the cases?
過去香港市民均十分守法，犯罪率十分低，以現時司法機構的規模足以應付。
In the past as Hong Kong people were law - abiding and the crime rate was very low the current strength of the Judiciary could sufficiently cope with the work
我引述這建議的其中一個原因，是多年來，司法機構的職務大幅增加，性質越加複雜，而司法機構政務處的......
I cited this proposal because over the years the tasks handled by the Judiciary have significantly increased and their nature has become more complicated and the Judiciary Administration
我一直聆聽謝偉銓議員和梁志祥議員的發言，梁志祥議員現在說的是增設職位，與退休年齡似乎無關......
I have been listening to the speeches made by Mr Tony TSE and Mr LEUNG Che - cheung . Mr LEUNG Che - cheung is now talking about creating additional posts which seems to be unrelated to retirement age
好的，多謝主席。
That is fine . Thank you Chairman
我希望稍後司長能夠對以下方面作出回應：法官及司法人員增補的數目、律政司的人力、司法機構的支援人手、如何以現代科技配合司法系統。
I hope the Chief Secretary will later respond to the following points the number of additional JJOs the manpower of the Department of Justice the support staff of the Judiciary and how to use modern technology to support the judicial system
希望政府能夠向公眾提出更好的建議。
I hope the Government can provide the public with better proposals
我對於《條例草案》表示支持。
I support the Bill
政府在《條例草案》中作出一些修訂，包括修訂8個功能界別中13個團體的名稱，在6個功能界別中刪除12個已停止運作的團體，以及在4個功能界別中新增10個團體。
The Government made some amendments in the Bill including revising the names of 13 corporates in eight functional constituencies FCs removing 12 corporates that have ceased operation from six FCs and adding 10 new corporates to four FCs
我認為，這些修訂是適時和有需要的。
I consider such amendments timely and necessary
隨着時代轉變，有些行業的營運模式會出現轉型，但核心業務及活動性質仍然與原有的界別有關。
As time changes some industries may have changes in their modes of operation but the core business and nature of activities may still be related to the original FC
因此，我希望政制及內地事務局通過不同政策局了解29個界別的最新狀況時，要與這些政策局加強聯繫及溝通，與時俱進，制訂更清晰的指引。
Therefore I hope the Constitutional and Mainland Affairs Bureau will through different Policy Bureaux grasp the latest situation of the 29 FCs . The Bureau should strengthen its liaison and communication with other Policy Bureaux to keep pace with the times and formulate clearer guidelines
政制及內地事務局的其中一項主要職能，是負責政制和與選舉安排有關的工作，並與選舉管理委員會緊密聯繫，確保各級公共選舉在公平、公開和誠實的情況下舉行。
A major function of the Constitutional and Mainland Affairs Bureau is to handle constitutional and election - related matters and maintain close liaison with the Electoral Affairs Commission to ensure that public elections at various levels are conducted in a fair open and honest manner
因此，該局負責就有關選舉安排的工作進行相關的修訂，當中包括處理已不再符合選民資格的功能界別團體，即今次修例的內容。
Therefore the Bureau is responsible for making relevant amendments relating to electoral arrangements including dealing with corporates which are no longer eligible to be electors in FCs; that is the content of this legislative amendment exercise
所以，情況的確令人擔心選舉是否公平，而這些事情亦製造了"選舉恐慌"。
Owing to these incidents people were indeed worried about the fairness of the election and such incidents have also created election panic
其實，民建聯並不怕打"逆境波"，不會害怕選舉，但關鍵在於是否有一個公平的選舉環境。
Actually DAB is not afraid of fighting uphill battles . We are not afraid of elections; what matters most is whether there is a fair election environment
我們認為，政制及內地事務局或選舉事務處應該要造就一場其所提出的"公平、公正及誠實的選舉"。
In our opinion the Constitutional and Mainland Affairs Bureau or the Registration and Electoral Office should make it possible to hold a fair just and honest election
這是我們較為關心之處。
This is the area that we are more concerned about
即使在選舉的問題上，我原則上支持政府提出的《條例草案》，但政府亦需要就一些規例的細則作出研究和回應。
On the issue of election I support in principle the Bill proposed by the Government but the Government has to conduct studies on certain details of regulation and respond accordingly
今次修訂中有12個團體因停止運作而被刪除。
In the current legislative amendment exercise 12 corporates are deleted owing to cessation of operation
事實上，這些團體並未正式宣稱停止運作或取消團體註冊，但可能處於不活躍的狀態，有數年時間沒有舉辦活動或招收會員，又或有會員持續流失的情況，那麼是否仍然符合功能界別的資格定義，即"在社會上具規模及社會發展相當重要的界別"？
In fact these corporates have not formally claimed the cessation of operation nor cancelled their registration; they might be in an inactive state without holding any activity or recruiting new members for several years or the number of members is declining . As such do such corporates still meet the definition of FCs ie . sectors which are substantial and important to the development of the community?
現行負責聯繫的相關政府部門有否收到政制及內地事務局清晰的指引，作出評估及報告？
Have the relevant government departments currently responsible for liaison received clear guidelines from the Constitutional and Mainland Affairs Bureau for making assessments and reports?
新增的團體相對較容易處理。
It is relatively easier to deal with newly added corporates
以剛完成的"2019年香港藝術發展局藝術範疇代表提名推選活動"為例，據悉今次有不少藝術和文化團體登記成為選民。
Take for example the 2019 Nomination of Representatives of Arts Interests for the Hong Kong Arts Development Council which has just been completed . It is learnt that many arts and cultural bodies have registered as electors in the current exercise
這些已登記的團體選民過往也有積極舉辦活動和推廣藝術文化，其名單經刊憲便成為立法會功能界別的選民。
These registered corporate electors have organized activities and promoted arts and culture in a proactive manner in the past and they will become FC electors of the Legislative Council election upon gazettal
從今次香港藝術發展局代表推選所見，社會上仍有不少藝術文化團體在業界進行和推廣文化藝術工作。
As reflected in the current nomination of representatives for the Hong Kong Arts Development Council there are still many arts and cultural bodies in the sector undertaking and promoting culture and arts in the community
