事實上，儘管社會上有聲音要求落實標準工時、將男士侍產假由現時的3天增至5天，甚至增加婦女的法定產假，但先決條件是市場必須有足夠的勞動力，否則也難以落實。
In fact despite the voices in the community calling for the implementation of standard working hours and the extension of paternity leave from the current three days to five days and even the increase of statutory maternity leave for women the prerequisite is that the market must have sufficient labour force or it will be difficult to implement
為解決人力資源不足的問題，政府應適當地我強調是適當地擴大輸入外勞的計劃，以增加勞工的供應。
In order to resolve the problem of insufficient human resources the Government should appropriately―appropriately I emphasize―expand the importation of labour in order to increase the supply
胡志偉議員、張超雄議員、梁耀忠議員、尹兆堅議員及郭家麒議員要就議案動議修正案。
Mr WU Chi - wai Dr Fernando CHEUNG Mr LEUNG Yiu - chung Mr Andrew WAN and Dr KWOK Ka - ki wish to move amendments to the motion
這項議案辯論會一連3天舉行。
The debate on this motion will last for three days
主席，有說法指這項致謝議案會是9年來首次獲得通過的致謝議案。
President it is said that this Motion of Thanks would be the first to get passed in nine years
這是慷香港人之慨，香港人的得益微乎其微。
Hong Kong people are made to foot the bill while their benefits are actually negligible
這個環節是討論多元經濟，但非常諷刺的是，香港經濟現正面臨全面大陸化的威脅。
The theme of this debate session is Diversified Economy but ironically enough Hong Kongs economy is currently under the threat of complete Mainlandization
香港奉行資本主義，價高者得，紅色資本便以"自由經濟"之名買起香港。
Given that Hong Kong is a capitalist economy where the highest bidder always wins red capital can thus buy up Hong Kong in the name of free economy
當香港人的衣食住行都受到紅色資本操控，香港便會"被消失"。
When everything from clothing food housing to transport is controlled by red capital Hong Kong will be made to disappear
談到零售業，最明顯的例子是麥當勞，也是中資的。
As for the retail industry the most typical example is McDonalds which is also Mainland - funded
香港的海港，以前是世界第一，現在別說是上海，連寧波、深圳都已經超越香港。
The harbour of Hong Kong used to be the worlds number one but it has now been overtaken by Ningbo and Shenzhen not to mention Shanghai
高鐵方面，政府更是不惜"割地兩檢"，衝擊法治，然後推說這安排能帶來很大的經濟效益。
With regard to the Express Rail Link the Government has gone even further to cede land for co - location and challenged the rule of law on the pretext that this would bring about greater economic benefits
但恒生指數竟然照升可也。
And yet the Hang Seng Index HSI was not affected and rose instead
原來現在恒生指數成分股充斥國企股份。
Because a large proportion of the constituent stocks of HSI are state - owned shares
換言之，今時今日的恒生指數已不再是香港生意的信心指標。
In other words nowadays HSI is no longer a confidence indicator of business in Hong Kong
透過經濟把香港大陸化，香港很快便會"被消失"。
Hong Kong is being Mainlandized through economic means and will soon be made to disappear
浪費金錢之餘，政府亦不能做到綠色經濟的效果。
Apart from wasting money the Government has also failed to achieve the intended effect of a green economy
政府是否知道現在中美洲以至北美洲的加州都十分乾旱，當地人甚至要用鑽油器材從地底挖水，種植加利福尼亞新奇士橙，而香港卻把食水倒進大海。
Is the Government aware that many places from Central America to California in North America are very dry lately? . People in California are using the equipment for oil drilling to extract water from deep underground to water their Sunkist oranges but Hong Kong is pouring fresh water into the sea
綠色經濟？
Green economy?
政府只做表面工夫，真真正正長遠的工作，卻付諸闕如。
The Government is only making some window - dressing gestures and no long - term plan has been made
當中最明顯的是落實她在競選時的承諾，推行利得稅兩級制，把企業首200萬元利潤的利得稅減低一半至8.25%的建議。
The most obvious is the introduction of a two - tier profits tax system as promised during her election campaign by lowering the profits tax rate for the first 2 million of profits of enterprises to 8.25 %
香港中小型企業對稅項的支出其實很敏感，很多中小企東主的負擔亦很沉重。
Hong Kongs SMEs are very sensitive to tax payments as the operators have very heavy financial burdens
因此，政府把首200萬元利潤的利得稅減半，對他們確實有相當裨益。
Hence the lowering of the profits tax rate for the first 2 million of profits will benefit them greatly
同時，為鼓勵有心創業人士及本港企業提升科研技術等，施政報告內亦建議首200萬元的合資格研發開支可獲3倍扣稅，餘額的兩倍扣稅措施也值得一讚，期望政府可以盡快落實。
Also to encourage people to start businesses and local enterprises to engage in research and development RD the Policy Address also proposes that the first 2 million eligible RD expenditure will enjoy a 300 % tax deduction with the remainder at 200 % . This proposal is also praiseworthy and I hope that the Government will implement it expeditiously
不過，我想強調，對於中小企面對的困難，特區政府似乎仍未能完全掌握。
However I must point out that the SAR Government seems to fail to fully grasp the difficulties faced by SMEs
其實，中小企在科研及相關的人力培訓資源方面相當匱乏，要物色懂得使用新科技器材的人才也不容易，因此我期望政府未來投放更多資源，以協助提升企業的創新意欲。
As a matter of fact SMEs are acutely short of resources for RD and staff training in relevant areas . It is not easy to find employees who know how to operate new technology equipment . Hence I expect the Government to allocate more resources in the future to encourage enterprises to have higher innovative incentives
代理主席，近年香港經濟發展走向低增長狀態，連支柱產業亦因國際經濟走勢變化而開始面臨發展瓶頸，處於須尋求轉型的階段。
Deputy President Hong Kongs economic growth has been slow in recent years and even the pillar industries affected by the changing global economic trend are facing a development bottleneck and are in need of transformation
因此，國家提出"一帶一路"和粵港澳大灣區的發展戰略，正好為香港提供了重要的嶄新發展機遇。
Hence the Belt and Road Initiative and the Guangdong - Hong Kong - Macao Bay Area development strategies of our country have provided important and new development opportunities for Hong Kong
我深信，只要我們掌握好發展方向，以發揮香港本身在服務專業等優勢，充分利用其國際地位，在未來當為本港工業界提供眾多業務拓展機會。
I am convinced that as long as we grasp the proper direction of development give full play to our advantages in the service professions and well utilize our international status there will be plenty of opportunities for Hong Kongs commercial and industrial sectors to develop and expand their business operations
民建聯期望特區政府可以好好掌握相關發展戰略，作出應有部署，從而乘搭國家這艘新經濟巨輪，特別是大灣區的發展。
The Democratic Alliance for the Betterment and Progress of Hong Kong DAB expects the SAR Government to capitalize on the relevant development strategies and make the right move so as to board the new economic vessel of our country especially the development of the Bay Area
粵港澳不論在地緣、人民交往和經濟融合等關係一直相當密切，三地攜手深化合作，必會互利共贏，亦可提升三地在國家經濟發展及對外開放中的地位和功能。
The relationship among Guangdong Hong Kong and Macao has always been close in terms of geographical location exchanges among the people as well as economic integration . Further cooperation of the three places will surely bring mutual benefits and enables them to contribute more to the countrys economic development and opening up
特首在施政報告中表明，除會在本月與東盟簽訂自由貿易協定與促進和保護投資協定外，政府未來亦會與內地和海外建立更多雙邊或多邊聯繫，包括與"一帶一路"沿線經濟體簽訂自貿協定及投資協定，以及避免雙重課稅協定，我對此表示歡迎。
The Chief Executive states in the Policy Address that other than signing free trade agreements FTAs and investment promotion and protection agreements IPPAs with ASEAN countries this month the Government will establish more bilateral and multilateral ties with the Mainland and overseas countries . It will also sign FTAs IPPAs and comprehensive avoidance of double taxation agreements with various economies along the Belt and Road . I welcome these initiatives
民建聯亦曾向政府建議爭取和"一帶一路"沿線國家簽訂更多有利發展的協議。
DAB has also suggested the Government strive to sign more agreements that are beneficial to our development with countries along the Belt and Road
同時，我亦希望政府集中資源，物色5個至10個具發展潛力的"一帶一路"沿線國家或地區，在當地開設香港經濟貿易辦事處，以協助港人謀求發展機會。
At the same time I also hope the Government will focus on identifying 5 to 10 countries or places along the Belt and Road to set up Hong Kong Economic and Trade Offices ETOs there to help Hong Kong people seek development opportunities
此外，我認為當局應組織 帶領青年人到訪"一帶一路"的沿線國家或地區，與在當地發展的港企聯絡，讓他們認識該等地區的發展潛力。
Moreover I think the authorities should arrange young people to visit the countries and places along the Belt and Road and maintain contacts with Hong Kong enterprises doing business there so that young people can learn about the development potentials in those areas
為有利香港進一步拓展大灣區的發展機遇，以及吸引港人到大灣區尋求發展，民建聯建議政府靈活放寬現時港人在內地工作或停留超過183天便要向內地交稅的規定。
To facilitate Hong Kongs further expansion of the development opportunities in the Bay Area and attract Hong Kong people to seek development there DAB suggests the Government relax the requirement for Hong Kong residents to pay Mainland tax if they work or stay in the Mainland for more than 183 days
例如，以先行先試方式，讓跨境工作的港人以香港稅率向內地政府繳稅。
For example allowing Hong Kong residents working across the border to pay tax to the Mainland authorities at the tax rate of Hong Kong on an early and pilot implementation basis
此外，目前港人必須在內地定居才能申領內地身份證，令不少符合資格而又經常到內地活動的港人相當不便。
Moreover at present Hong Kong residents can only apply for Mainland identity cards after they have settled in the Mainland . This requirement has caused much inconvenience to Hong Kong residents who frequently go to the Mainland
民建聯建議政府應向內地有關部門爭取，研究向在廣東省定居的港人提供幫助，安排他們申領內地身份證，以方便他們在內地接受教育、工作和生活，讓港人更易融入內地環境。
DAB suggests that the Government negotiate with the Mainland authorities on assisting Hong Kong residents settling in the Guangdong Province in applying for Mainland identity cards to facilitate their receiving education working and living there
香港金融管理局計劃明年推出快速支付系統，讓銀行和支付工具營運商在同一支付平台上進行實時支付和轉帳，以進一步推動市場發展，便利個人對個人的轉帳，並鼓勵商戶採用多元化的創新零售支付產品，惠及市民。
In this way Hong Kong people can integrate in the local community more easily . The Hong Kong Monetary Authority HKMA is planning to launch the Faster Payment System FPS next year to allow banks and stored - value facilities service providers to conduct real - time settlement and fund transfer on a single payment platform thereby further promoting market development facilitating transfer of funds between individuals and encouraging merchants to adopt diversified innovative retail payment products for the benefit of consumers
我樂見政府推出快速支付系統，以推動電子支付的智慧生活模式。
I am pleased to see the introduction of FPS for the promotion of smart living facilitated by the electronic payment system
同時，我亦促請金管局在制訂有關准入系統的成本細節時，可以顧及中小型商戶和公司的經營成本負擔。
I also urge HKMA to take into consideration the operation costs borne by SMEs when formulating the cost details of the threshold system
此外，我亦期望政府可以確保相關保安工作做得完善。在推廣方面，亦要讓中老年市民也可利用有關工具。
I also expect the Government to ensure that FPS will be properly secured and widely promoted so that middle - aged and elderly people will also know how to use them
中長期而言，民建聯促請政府應與大灣區的對口政府部門合作，聯合發展金融科技，透過對人工智能和電子支付等範疇的研究和實踐，提升區內金融機構及工商業的營運效率，協助業界開拓新的發展模式。
In the medium to long run DAB urges the Government to join hands with its counterparts in the Bay Area in the development of Fintech so that through the studies and implementation of artificial intelligence and electronic payment methods the operation efficiency of the financial institutions and the commercial and industrial sectors will be enhanced and the sectors will also be encouraged to explore new development modes
例如，打造高度互聯的電子支付系統，以建立一個可以廣泛應用的區域性平台，降低區內的交易成本。
For example through the interlinking of various electronic payment systems a widely used regional platform will be established thereby lowering the transaction costs within the region
僱主和僱員之間究竟是唇齒相依的關係，還是水火不相容呢？
Are employers and employees mutually dependent or totally incompatible?
在某程度上，是非常受政府政策的取態所影響。
To a certain extent it depends very much on the position of government policy
目前政府傾向要求僱主透過撥備的方式，處理日後取消強積金對沖後的額外強積金開支。
At present the Government tends to require employers to set aside a provision to meet the additional MPF expenditure after the abolition of the offsetting arrangement
有關計劃對大企業而言，問題及壓力都不算大，但對僱員較少的中小企而言，基本上薪金開支已經佔其總營運成本的大部分，撥備金額太 大，將會令中小企的營運資金十分緊絀，但撥備金額太小，又不足以應付有關開支。
For big corporations the problem and impact of this measure will not be too great . But for SMEs which only employ a small number of employees and salary costs already take up a large portion of total operation cost if the amount of provision set aside is too big SMEs will not have sufficient operating capital but if the provision is too small it may not be able to cover all the expenses
代理主席，民建聯多年來一直致力提倡降低強積金收費及優化強積金制度，目前強積金的平均基金開支比率已下降至1.55%，但只有約一半基金的開支比率是在1.5%或以下水平，因此仍然有很大的下降空間。
Deputy President for years DAB has been advocating the lowering of MPF charges and improving the MPF System . Even though the average expense ratio of MPF has now dropped to 1.55 % only about one half of all the funds have their expense ratio at 1.5 % or below
我期望當局能進一步增加強積金可投資的產品，例如與外匯基金回報或與通脹掛鈎的基金，以及不收管理費的銀行儲蓄形式產品；積極研究規定受託人收取定額的行政費用，以及研究由政府承擔"預設投資策略"的管理費。
Hence there is still much room for reduction . I expect the authorities to further increase the number of permissible investments under MPF such as products that are linked to the investment return of the Exchange Fund or the inflation rate as well as products similar to bank deposits that do not charge any management fees; to actively study the possibility of requiring trustees to charge a fixed management fee and also to look into the possibility of the Government bearing the management fees of the Default Investment Strategy
我再談談會展業發展方面，代理主席，我很高興看到這份施政報告提出推動經濟多元化發展的政策。
Let me now talk about the development of the convention and exhibition CE industry Deputy President . I am very glad that this Policy Address proposes the policy of promoting economic diversification
報告提出要發展會展業、支持創新及科技產業及中小企發展等宏觀措施，讓我們看到這屆政府積極發展社會經濟的決心，對此工商界表示歡迎。
It mentions the macro measures of developing the CE industry supporting the development of innovation and technology industries and SMEs . The commercial and industrial sectors welcome the incumbent Governments commitment to actively develop our economy
我在這裏就一些工商界所關心的政策發表我的看法。
Here I would like to express some of my views on the policies that the commercial and industrial sectors are concerned about
首先，我想談談會展業的發展。
First I would like to talk about the development of the CE industry
會展業現在越來越受到世界各國重視，究其原因，是會展業是一種綜合了貿易、交通、旅遊、餐飲等多種行業的火車頭產業，所以世界各國都增加投入資源發展會展業。
This industry has now gained increasingly attention of the world . The reason is that it is a locomotive industry that incorporates various industries such as trading transportation tourism and catering . Many countries have put in increasing resources for developing the CE industry
從2008年開始，會展業的發展趨勢逐漸向亞洲傾斜，亞洲各國都興建更多的會展展館以提升接待能力，我很讚賞今屆政府積極抓緊這次發展機遇。
From 2008 onwards the development of the CE industry has gradually tilted towards Asian countries and these countries have built more CE venues to enhance their reception capacities . I highly commend the incumbent Governments efforts in seizing this development opportunity
在施政報告中，政府確定了在灣仔現有的香港會議展覽中心附近，增建具有國際水平的會展場地，以及在沙中線會展站上興建會議中心的計劃。
In the Policy Address the Government affirms the plan to build a new CE venue of international standard in the proximity of the existing Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre in Wan Chai and also the development of a new convention centre above the MTR Exhibition Station of the Shatin to Central Link
這些政策措施將會給香港的會展業帶來更大的發展機會，為香港的經濟發展作出更大貢獻。
These policies will bring great development opportunities to Hong Kongs CE industry and make great contributions to the development of the local economy
但是，我們也應看到，香港會展業面臨來自周邊地區及國家的挑戰。
However we should be aware that Hong Kongs CE industry is facing great challenges from our neighbouring places and countries
在澳門，會展旅遊是近年發展較快的新興產業。
In Macao the CE industry is a fast - growing emerging industry
根據官方數字，相關旅客人次由2011年的126萬，增至2015年的248萬。
According to official statistics the number of visitors concerned had increased from 1.26 million in 2011 to 2.48 million in 2015
同樣，鄰近香港的深圳，於2016年9月動工興建新的會展中心，第一期工程包括面積達40萬平方米的室內展廳及基本配套設施，是本港總展覽 面積的2.6倍。
Also our neighbour Shenzhen commenced the construction of a new CE centre in September 2016 the first phase of which includes an indoor exhibition hall of 400 000 sq m and other ancillary facilities . Its exhibition area is 2.6 times the total exhibition area in Hong Kong
至於亞洲其他國家，例如新加坡政府在2014年發表了至2020年的路線圖，目標將當地發展成會展旅遊智慧城市，以及吸引行業人才。
As for other Asian countries the Singaporean Government published in 2014 the 2020 roadmap with the goal of developing Singapore into a smart tourism city and attracting talent for that industry
有別於香港，新加坡合資格的商務活動籌辦機構，可獲當地政府財政資助，上限為符合資助準則成本的70%。
Unlike Hong Kong eligible commercial event organizers will receive government subsidy of up to 70 % of the cost that meets the subsidy criteria
由於這些國家和地區會展業的高速發展，香港在國際會展業的排名已由2015年的第十五位，下跌4位至2016年的第十九位。
As a result of the rapid growth of the CE industry in these countries and places the ranking of Hong Kong in the international CE industry has dropped four places from 15 in 2015 to 19 in 2016
可以說，這是對香港會展業的一種警示。
This is a warning to the CE industry in Hong Kong
因此，我希望政府能加快場館及配套設施的建設，不要拖延，將主動權握在自己的手裏，爭取在亞洲會展業的競爭中再佔鰲頭。
Therefore I hope that the Government will speed up the construction of exhibition venues and ancillary facilities without delay taking the initiative in its own hands and striving to take the lead again in the competition of the CE industry in Asia
同時，我也希望政府在規劃未來的會展業發展時，認真審視本港的會展資源，若能加以善用，效果不容忽視。
At the same time I also hope that the Government will when planning the future development of the CE industry seriously examine Hong Kongs existing CE resources and if such resources can be well utilized the effect cannot be ignored
我希望政府當局調整對亞洲國際博覽館的定位，由於亞博處於機場附近，過去因為交通不如市區方便，其經濟價值及利用率大大被低估。
I hope that the Administration will readjust the positioning of the AsiaWorld - Expo AWE . As AWE is situated next to the Airport its transport connection is not as convenient as facilities in the urban area its economic value has thus been greatly underestimated and its utilization rate is lower than expected
當然，作為可持續發展的政策，我們必須平衡發展與保育之間的關係。
Of course we must formulate a sustainable policy in order to strike a balance between development and conservation
綠色經濟是未來發展的趨勢，我們必須做好保育工作，讓香港享受經濟發展的成果之餘，又不會破壞我們子孫後代賴以生存的環境。
Green economy is the future trend of development and hence we must make efforts to conserve our nature and environment so that while we can enjoy the fruit of economic development we will not destroy the environment that our future generations depend on for survival
代理主席，除了會展業的發展，工商界亦很關心香港本地工業的發展。
Deputy President apart from the development of the CE industry the commercial and industrial sectors are also highly concerned about the development of the local industry
工業對經濟未來的發展有極其重要的作用，不僅可直接創造經濟價值，更是經濟長期增長的推動力。
Industrial production is of paramount importance to our future economic growth . It not only creates its own economic value but is also a driving force for economic growth in the long run
在強調自主、創新和科技發展的今天，工業是技術創新的主要來源，而技術創新的使用者及傳播者就是工業。
In todays world where autonomous innovation and technological development are highly emphasized industrial production is the main source for innovation of skills and it is also the user and promoter of innovation and new technologies
現時工業回流，開始成為香港工業發展的趨勢之一，希望政府對這趨勢能予以重視。
The return of the industrial sector to Hong Kong is one of the latest trends of the development of local industries and I hope that the Government will attach importance to it
首先，從傳統的製造業來看，我們從政府製造業回流報告中了解到，近年精密金屬件及模具製造業、珠寶製造業、鐘錶製造業、食品製造業及藥品醫療器材製造業，均有回流的趨勢。
First regarding the traditional manufacturing industries according to the Study Report on Relocation of Operations Back to Hong Kong for Manufacturing Industries we learn in recent years there is a trend of relocation of various industries back to Hong Kong such as precision fabricated metal parts and tooling manufacturing industry jewellery manufacturing industry watches and clocks manufacturing industry food products manufacturing industry as well as pharmaceutical and medical equipment manufacturing industry
這些傳統製造業以中小企為主，並對廠房及行業從業員均有十分迫切的需求。
The enterprises engaging in traditional manufacturing industries are mainly SMEs and they have a keen demand for factories and practitioners in the industries concerned
我很高興從施政報告看到，政府增加工業用地，推出優化的兩級稅制，以及成立人力資源規劃委員會，為不同行業培訓人才等措施，均對傳統的製造業提供良好的發展環境。
I am glad to see that the Policy Address states that the Government will increase the sites for industrial use introduce a refined two - tier profits tax system as well as set up a Commission for the Planning of Human Resources for the training of talent for various trades and industries . These measures will create a favourable environment for the development of the traditional manufacturing industries
我希望政府能切實執行，讓這些措施能真 正到位，並再接再厲，推出更多優惠政策，制訂全面的中小企支援計劃，從融資、稅務、人力資源、產品開發等方面，協助回流的製造業發展。
I hope that the Government will actively implement these policies to ensure that the intended goals are met and that it will make persistent efforts to introduce more favourable policies and formulate a comprehensive plan to support SMEs on all fronts including financing taxation human resources and product development so as to facilitate the manufacturing industries relocation back to Hong Kong
其次，我們亦注意到近期回流的產業中，除早前提到的傳統製造業外，以高科技為主的產業已成為目前的主流。
In addition we also notice that among the industries that have relocated back to Hong Kong apart from the above mentioned traditional manufacturing industries the high technology industries have become the mainstream
這意味香港不會再走以前勞工密集型產業的發展老路，而具有高附加值、高科技及自主創新為主的產業，將成為香港未來工業的主力軍。
This means that Hong Kong will no longer rely on labour intensive industries; instead industries with high added value engaging in high technology and autonomous innovation will be a major force in the future development of industries in Hong Kong
本屆政府亦非常重視再工業化的過程，我們從施政報告中看到，政府提出以5億元啟動科技專才培育計劃，並資助本地的企業人員接受"工業4.0"的培訓。
The incumbent Government attaches great importance to re - industrialization . As stated in the Policy Address the Government will launch a 500 million Technology Talent Scheme and subsidize the staff of local enterprises to receive the Industry 4.0 training
再者，設立"知創空間"及擴建科學園等政策，均為香港再工業化創造良好的環境，工商界對此極表歡迎。
Besides policies such as establishing the Inno Space and expanding the Science Park aim at creating a favourable environment for the re - industrialization of Hong Kong . The commercial and industrial sectors welcome such initiatives
希望特區政府能抓緊時間，具體落實政策。
I hope that the SAR Government will promptly implement these policies
工商界也會抓緊這些機遇，在營運模式、生產線重整等方面，投入大量資源和能力，與政府一起令"香港製造"這招牌走向世界。
The commercial and industrial sectors will also grasp this opportunity to invest large quantities of resources to restructure the operation mode and production line so as to join hands with the Government to showcase to the world the fine quality of products made in Hong Kong
最後，我想由再工業化的話題引申至科研與市場的關係。
Lastly from the topic of re - industrialization I wish to talk about the relationship between scientific research and the market
本屆政府在施政報告中重點着墨其創新及科技政策，決心增加各高校的研發資金，並積極吸引科研人才及機構到香港落戶。
In the Policy Address the incumbent Government talks at length about its policy on innovation and technology its determination to increase the provision of RD funding for higher education institutions as well as its proactive effort to attract talent and institutions engaged in scientific research to settle in Hong Kong
這些政策均可為香港打造一流的科研平台，從而促進再工業化的進程，為香港的經濟發展提供續航能力。
These policies will create a world - class scientific research platform in Hong Kong thereby promoting re - industrialization and providing an impetus for the continuous economic development in Hong Kong
但是，工商界亦擔心科研項目能否順應市場的需求？是否有一定的商用價值？因為再工業化的核心，其實就是技術轉移。
However the commercial and industrial sectors are worried whether the scientific research projects will meet the market demand and have commercial value as the core of re - industrialization is the transfer of know - how
這是以企業市場為導向，產學研互相結合的過程。
That is a process directed by the business market with the collaboration of the industry academia and research sectors
所以，如果高校只把精力放在曲高和寡的技術領域上，無法投入市場，那麼政府鼓勵創新政策便會失去意義。
Hence if the higher education institutions put all their efforts on highbrow technologies that few people understand and their products are unmarketable then the Governments policy of encouraging innovation will be meaningless
因此，作為工商界的代表，我希望政府在審批科研項目時，能考慮科研成果向市場和生產領域的轉換，多鼓勵高校進行有實用價值的科研項目，使科研、市場和生產能真正結合，共同推動經濟發展。
As the representative of the commercial and industrial sectors I hope that the Government will when considering the application of scientific research projects consider the possibility of commercialization and production of scientific research results and encourage higher education institutions to engage in scientific researches with practical applications so as to achieve the real integration of scientific research market and production and together they can promote economic development in Hong Kong
代理主席，我謹此陳辭，支持原議案，反對所有修正案。
With these remarks Deputy President I support the original motion and oppose all amendments
主席，我會就經濟發展事務，發表我的看法。
President I will express my views on the economic development
