我剛才已於恢復二讀《2017年公司條例草案》時解釋過特別組織的背景，在此不再重複。
I have just explained the background of FATF during the resumption of the Second Reading of the Companies Amendment Bill 2017 . I am not going to repeat it here
香港打擊洗錢及恐怖分子資金籌集的制度，在某些範疇上還未能符合特別組織的建議，其中之一是現時並無法例規定指定非金融業人士進行指明交易時，須進行客戶盡職審查及備存紀錄。
Hong Kongs AMLCTF regime has failed to meet FATF recommendations in some areas such as the current absence of statutory CDD and record - keeping requirements for DNFBPs who engage in specified transactions
以上4個行業在從事指明交易時，須遵守《條例》下訂明就客戶作盡職審查及備存紀錄的規定。
When engaging in specified transactions members of these four sectors must observe the CDD and record - keeping requirements under AMLO
由於法律專業人士、會計專業人士和地產代理目前已經由各自的監管機構進行專業自我規管，我們建議借助根據《法律執業者條例》、《專業會計師條例》和《地產代理條例》分別適用於上述3個行業的現有規管制度，執行《條例》訂明的就客戶作盡職審查及備存紀錄的法例規定。
As legal professionals accounting professionals and estate agents are currently subject to professional self - regulation by their respective regulatory bodies we have proposed to use the existing regulatory regimes applicable to the three sectors under the Legal Practitioners Ordinance the Professional Accountants Ordinance and the Estate Agents Ordinance respectively to enforce the statutory CDD and record - keeping requirements under AMLO
香港律師會、香港會計師公會和地產代理監管局會獲賦予法定監察權力，確保相關專業遵守《條例》的規定。
The Law Society of Hong Kong the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants and the Estate Agents Authority will be entrusted with statutory supervisory oversight in order to ensure compliance with the AMLO requirements by the relevant professions
如有違規，上述監管機構會按照相關法例就專業失當行為所訂的現行調查、紀律和處分機制處理。
Non - compliance will be handled in accordance with the existing statutory investigation disciplinary and appeal mechanisms governing professional misconduct
至於在信託或公司服務提供者的監管方面，目前香港並無具有法定權力的機構，負責規管或監督信託或公司服務提供者的業務。
With regard to the supervision of TCSPs there is currently no authority with statutory power to regulate or oversee the business of TCSPs in Hong Kong
我們建議於公司註冊處下成立發牌制度，以執行適用於信託或公司服務提供者就客戶作盡職審查及備存紀錄的法例規定。
We have proposed to introduce a licensing regime under the Companies Registry to enforce the proposed statutory CDD and record - keeping requirements applicable to TCSPs
任何有意在香港進行信託或公司服務業務的人士，除非另獲豁免，否則必須向公司註冊處處長申請牌照，並符合"適當人選"準則，方可在香港經營提供信託或公司服務的業務。
Anyone who wishes to engage in trust or company service business in Hong Kong must apply for a licence from the Registrar of Companies and satisfy a fit - and - proper test before they can provide trust or company services as a business in Hong Kong unless otherwise exempted
考慮到這些指定非金融業人士的風險較金融機構為低，如果他們不遵從《條例》下就客戶作盡職審查及備存紀錄的規定，我們不建議對他們施加任何刑事制裁。
We do not propose to impose criminal sanctions for non - compliances with CDD and record - keeping requirements under AMLO in view of the lesser risks concerning these DNFBP sectors when compared with financial institutions
我現在向各位提出的待決議題是：《2017年打擊洗錢及恐怖分子資金籌集條例草案》，予以二讀。
I now put the question to you and that is That the Anti - Money Laundering and Counter - Terrorist Financing Amendment Bill 2017 be read the Second time
我們在考慮了審議《條例草案》過程中收到的意見，並審視了《條例草案》的條文後，提出這些修正案，當中關乎幾方面的修訂，主要是更清楚述明相關條文的政策原意或作出一些草擬或技術修訂。
These amendments to the Bill were proposed after considering the views collected in the course of the deliberation and examining the provisions . They covered several areas mainly to clearly state the policy objectives of the relevant provisions and to make some drafting or technical amendments
以下我簡介修正案主要的內容。
I will briefly explain the contents of the amendments
《條例草案》擬議新訂的第5A3、4及5條規定，任何指定非金融業人士"在香港"擬備、進行或涉及某項指明交易，附表2的打擊洗錢及恐怖分子資金籌集的規定才適用於有關的指定非金融業人士或交易。
The proposed new section 5A3 4 and 5 requires a designated non - financial businesses and professions DNFBP in Hong Kong to prepare for carry out or be involved in a specified transaction in order for an anti - money laundering and counter - terrorist financing requirement set out in Schedule 2 to apply to that DNFBP or transaction
考慮到法案委員會委員於會上所提的意見，為免產生疑問，《條例草案》第7條的修正案旨在明確無疑地澄清第5A3、4或5條所提述的交易的標的，不論是位於香港或其他地方，均無關重要。
Having regard to views raised by members at the Bills Committee meeting to avoid doubt clause 7 is to clarify beyond doubt that it is immaterial whether the subject matter of a transaction referred to in section 5A3 4 or 5 is in Hong Kong or elsewhere
《條例草案》第9條的修正案旨在修改排印錯誤。
The amendment to clause 910 seeks to amend a typo
另外，考慮到法案委員會所提的意見，我們亦建議修訂與《打擊洗錢條例》附表2有關的條文。
Moreover considering the views expressed by the Bills Committee we also proposed to amend the relevant provisions in Schedule 2
《條例草案》第26條的修正案旨在 容許指定非金融業人士依賴中介人代為執行客戶盡職審查措施，以及把備存紀錄的規定由6年改為最少5年。
The amendment to clause 26 seeks to allow DNFBP to rely on intermediaries to conduct customer due diligence measures and to amend the record - keeping requirement from six years to at least five years
我們亦因應與法案委員會和香港律師會的討論，修訂與法律專業人士有關的條文。
Furthermore in the light of the discussions with the Bills Committee and The Law Society of Hong Kong we have amended the provisions in relation to a legal professional
主席，政府在擬備修正案期間，已充分考慮法案委員會、業界和立法會法律顧問的意見。
Chairman the Government has in the course of preparing the amendments fully considered the views expressed by the Bills Committee the industry and the Legal Adviser of the Legislative Council
主席，我謹此陳辭，懇請各位委員支持政府提出的修正案。
With these remarks Chairman I implore Members to support the amendments proposed by the Government
主席，就涂謹申議員所提出的修正案，我代表政府表示不贊成。
Chairman I oppose the amendments proposed by Mr James TO on behalf of the Government
該條是與第53條對等的條文。
That section is the equivalent provision of existing section 53 which applies to money service operators
其他多項現行法例，例如《婚姻條例》或《強制性公積金計劃條例》亦有類似的檢控時限。
Similar time limits for prosecution are provided in other existing legislation eg . the Marriage Ordinance and the Mandatory Provident Fund Schemes Ordinance
因此，我們在新訂第53ZO條所用的並非新的草擬方法。
Thus the drafting approach in the new section 53ZO is nothing new
我想指出，《條例草案》有關信託或公司服務提供者發牌制度所訂的罪行，包括無牌經營信託或公司服務業務等，並非輕微罪行，可處罰款甚至監禁。
I would like to point out that the offences provided in the Bill concerning trust or company service providers including carrying on a trust or company service business without a licence are not minor offences and are punishable with a fine or imprisonment
考慮到罪行的嚴重性及政策原意，我們認為12個月是一個合理的檢控時限，亦無意更改現時條文的草擬方法。
Considering the seriousness of the offences and the policy intent we think 12 months is a reasonable time limit for prosecution and do not intend to change the drafting approach of the current provision
主席，政府去年10月將《2017年稅務條例草案》提交立法會審議，目的是賦權行政長官會同行政會議，實施《多邊稅收徵管互助公約》及其他適用於香港關於國際合作的稅務協議，並使《稅務條例》與經濟合作與發展組織頒布的共同匯報標準一致。
President the Inland Revenue Amendment No . 5 Bill 2017 the Bill introduced to the Legislative Council for scrutiny last October seeks to empower the Chief Executive in Council to give effect to the Multilateral Convention on Mutual Administrative Assistance in Tax Matters and other agreements on international tax cooperation that apply to Hong Kong and to align the Inland Revenue Ordinance IRO with the Common Reporting Standard CRS promulgated by the Organisation for Economic Co - operation and Development OECD
法案委員會召開了兩次會議。
The Bills Committee held two meetings
我要特別感謝法案委員會主席黃定光議員及其他委員的努力，令審議工作順利完成。
I would like to give my special thanks to the Chairman of the Bills Committee Mr WONG Ting - kwong and all other members of the Bills Committee for their efforts that enabled the scrutiny to be completed smoothly
與此同時，國際社會一直留意各稅務管轄區實施交換資料安排的進度，並倡議建立廣闊的交換資料網絡，以締造公平的營商環境。
Meanwhile the international community has been monitoring jurisdictions progress in the implementation of the exchange of information EOI and putting emphasis on a wide network of EOI to ensure a level - playing field for businesses
由於國際社會間交換稅務資料的範圍及網絡不斷擴大，香港難以繼續沿用雙邊模式實施各項新稅務標準，較切實可行的做法是以《多邊公約》作為實施有關措施的基礎。
Given the continued expansion in the scope and network of tax information exchanges in the international community Hong Kong can no longer sticks to the established bilateral approach for implementing various new tax standards . A more practical approach will be riding on the Multilateral Convention to implement the relevant initiatives
加入《多邊公約》不但可加快擴闊交換稅務資料的網絡，而且亦是經合組織和歐洲聯盟考慮稅務管轄區是否屬"不合作稅務管轄區"的重要因素之一。
Participation in the Multilateral Convention is not only a catalyst to expand the network of tax information exchanges quickly but also a key element when OECD and the European Union EU consider whether a tax jurisdiction is non - cooperative
相信議員亦有留意到，歐盟於上月公布"不合作稅務管轄區"名單。
I believe Members are aware that EU published a list of non - cooperative tax jurisdictions last month
香港雖然不在該名單之上，但與另外46個稅務管轄區被列入觀察名單。
Although Hong Kong is not on the list it has been put on a watch list with 46 other jurisdictions
香港必須按承諾盡快完成參與《多邊公約》的工作，並於本年9月前與廣泛的稅務管轄區實施首次自動交換資料，以展示我們落實國際稅務新標準的決心。
Hong Kong must expeditiously complete the work for participating in the Multilateral Convention as promised and commence the first AEOIs with an extensive number of jurisdictions before this September so as to demonstrate our determination to implement the new international tax standards
由於國際稅務合作迅速發展，日後將會有更多和更緊密的稅務合作，因此我們建議《條例草案》擴大《稅務條例》第49條範圍，賦 權行政長官會同行政會議可藉命令宣布香港參與多邊稅務協定和新的國際稅務合作領域。
As international tax cooperation is developing fast we expect more and closer tax cooperation in the future . In view of this we propose under the Bill that the scope of section 49 of IRO be expanded to empower the Chief Executive in Council to declare by order that Hong Kong participates in multilateral tax agreements and new areas of international tax cooperation
我們亦藉此機會，修訂《稅務條例》處理與經合組織所頒布的共同匯報標準差異之處，確保《稅務條例》與該標準一致。
We have also taken this opportunity to address the inconsistencies between IRO and CRS promulgated by OECD by amending IRO to ensure alignment
法案委員會就修訂建議作出了深入和詳細的討論，我希望在此回應委員和持份者較為關注的3件事情。
In view of the in - depth and detailed discussion of the Bills Committee on the proposed amendments here I would like to respond to the three major concerns raised by members and stakeholders
首先是實施《多邊公約》的程序及將適用於香港的條文。通過《條例草案》是實施《多邊公約》的第一步，以提供法律框架，讓香港根據經修訂的《稅務條例》實施多邊稅務安排。
Firstly regarding the procedures for giving effect to the Multilateral Convention and other agreements that apply to Hong Kong the first step is to pass the Bill to provide Hong Kong with a legal framework for giving effect to multilateral tax arrangements according to the amended IRO
當《條例草案》獲通過後，我們會隨即邀請中央政府向經合組織交存延伸聲明，把《多邊公約》的適用範圍延伸至香港，因為只有主權國家才可簽署加入《多邊公約》，這是第二步。
After the passage of the Bill we will immediately seek the assistance of the Central Peoples Government CPG in depositing the declaration for territorial extension to OECD so that the application of the Multilateral Convention shall be extended to Hong Kong given that the Multilateral Convention is only open for signature by sovereign states . This is the second step
在完成首兩個步驟後，我們將建議行政長官會同行政會議作出命令，宣布《多邊公約》在香港具有效力。
After finishing the first two steps we will recommend the Chief Executive in Council to make an order to declare that the Multilateral Convention shall have effect in Hong Kong
該命令將根據經修訂的《稅務條例》作出，並須提交立法會按先訂立後審議的程序審議。
The order will be made under the amended IRO and subject to the scrutiny of the Legislative Council by negative vetting
第二個議員和市民關注事項是有關《多邊公約》下所交換的資料範圍及其保密性。
Secondly Members and the public are concerned about the scope of information exchanges under the Multilateral Convention and the confidentiality issue
一般而言，以雙邊模式或是根據《多邊公約》所交換資料的涵蓋範圍基本上相同。
Overall speaking the scope of information to be exchanged be it conducted on a bilateral basis or under the Multilateral Convention is generally the same
《條例草案》不會改變現時適用於根據《稅務條例》處理稅務資料的高度縝密措施，以保障市民私隱和確保資料保密。
The Bill does not alter the high level of privacy and confidentiality
我現在向各位提出的待決議題是：《2017年稅務條例草案》，予以二讀。
I now put the question to you and that is That the Inland Revenue Amendment No . 5 Bill 2017 be read the Second time
《2017年稅務條例草案》。
Inland Revenue Amendment No . 5 Bill 2017
主席，我謹動議恢復二讀《2017年銀行業條例草案》。
President I move the resumption of Second Reading debate on the Banking Amendment Bill 2017 the Bill
《條例草案》旨在透過實施銀行業有關恢復規劃及財務風險承擔限度的最新國際監管標準，以加強銀行體系的應變能力。
The Bill seeks to implement the latest international standards on banking regulation to provide for recovery planning and financial exposure limits thereby enhancing the resilience of our banking system
第一類的修訂是關於恢復規劃，根據國際標準，我們建議在《銀行業條例》訂立明確條文，賦權金融管理專員規定認可機構擬訂、維持和呈交一份恢復計劃，列出該機構在承受嚴峻壓力時，可為穩定和重建其財政資源及持續經營能力而採取的措施，並落實其他相關的恢復規劃要求，以提高透明度及確定性。
The first type of amendments is about recovery planning . According to international standards we propose making clear provisions in the Banking Ordinance BO to confer a general power on the Monetary Authority MA to require an authorized institution AI to prepare maintain and submit a recovery plan setting out the measures that AI can take to stabilize and restore its financial resources and viability when AI comes under severe stress; and to meet other relevant recovery planning requirements to enhance transparency and certainty
《條例草案》第二類的修訂是為更新現時認可機構的財務風險承擔限度。
The second type of amendments in the Bill is for modernizing large exposure limits of AIs
根據《銀行業條例》，認可機構須遵從訂明的財務風險承擔限度，以避免其風險過度集中於某些範疇。
Under BO AIs are subject to the prescribed limits and restrictions on financial exposures which seek to prevent an AIs exposures from becoming overly concentrated in certain aspects
隨着巴塞爾委員會在2014年4月就計量及管控大額風險承擔公布新的監管框架，香港有責任按照最新國際標準，更新監管制度。
Following the release by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision in April 2014 of a new supervisory framework for measuring and controlling large exposures it is incumbent upon Hong Kong to bring its regulatory regime up - to - date in accordance with the latest international standards
鑒於新框架的技術性質，並考慮到有關的規則須因應國際標準變更而不時作出修訂，《條例草案》建議廢除主體法例的相關條文，改為賦權金融管理專員制定附屬法例，訂明這些風險承擔限度，以落實新的財務風險承擔框架。
In view of the technical nature of the new framework and the need to update the regulatory requirements from time to time to reflect the changes in international standards the Bill proposes that the relevant sections under BO should be repealed and MA would be empowered to make rules prescribing limits on exposures incurred by AIs by way of subsidiary legislation for the implementation of the new exposure limits framework
《條例草案》同時亦會廢除過時的條文和兩項附屬法例。
The Bill also seeks to remove obsolete provisions and repeal two items of subsidiary legislation
主席，我很高興見到《條例草案》獲得銀行業界和法案委員會的支持，我在此感謝法案委員會主席陳振英議員、各位委員、秘書處和法律顧問所付出的努力，令《條例草案》的審議工作順利完成。
President I am pleased to see that the Bill has the support of the banking sector and the Bills Committee . I would like to thank Mr CHAN Chun - ying Chairman of the Bills Committee members the Secretariat and the Legal Adviser for their efforts contributing to the successful completion of the scrutiny of the Bill
我亦在此感謝剛才發言議員的意見，以及感謝他們對《條例草案》的支持。
I am also grateful to Members who have spoken just now and I would like to thank them for their support of the Bill
我希望立法會盡快通過《條例草案》，以便我們可以依時落實這些銀行業國際監管標準，以維持香港銀行體系的穩定，鞏固香港作為國際金融中心的地位。
I hope that the Legislative Council will pass the Bill as soon as possible so that we can implement these international standards on banking regulation on time so as to maintain the stability of our banking system and consolidate Hong Kongs position as an international financial centre
我現在向各位提出的待決議題是：《2017年銀行業條例草案》，予以二讀。
I now put the question to you and that is That the Banking Amendment Bill 2017 be read the Second time
主席，據報，為更好地發揮港珠澳大橋的效益，港珠澳三地當局正研究推行"泊車轉乘"安排：三地居民如取得一次性許可證，可駕駛未獲發目的地車牌的私家車經大橋出境，然後把車輛停泊在目的地口岸禁區範圍內的停車場，再與車上其他乘客 在辦理入境程序後轉乘當地的公共交通工具。
President it has been reported that to better realize the benefits of the Hong Kong - Zhuhai - Macao Bridge HZMB the authorities of Hong Kong Zhuhai and Macao are studying the introduction of a park - and - ride arrangement . Residents of the three places may upon obtaining a one - off permit drive a private car not issued with a vehicle licence for use in the place of destination to cross the boundary via HZMB and park the car in a car park in the closed area of the boundary control point in the place of destination and then change to local public transport together with other passengers on board after going through immigration clearance
港珠澳大橋是首條連接香港、珠海和澳門的跨境陸路連繫。
The Hong Kong - Zhuhai - Macao Bridge HZMB is the first cross - boundary land - based connection among Hong Kong Zhuhai and Macao
車輛取道大橋可大幅縮減往來香港與珠三角西部的行車時間，將珠三角西部納入香港3小時車程可達的範圍內，從而減省陸路客運和貨運的成本和時間。
With HZMB the travelling time between Hong Kong and the Western Pearl River Delta Region will be reduced substantially and thereby bringing the Western Pearl River Delta Region into an area that is accessible from Hong Kong within three hours drive . This will reduce the costs and time for the transportation of commuters and goods on roads
大橋亦可加速粵港澳大灣區內城市的經濟發展和連繫，方便市民往來，對香港以至粵港澳大灣區的整體發展具有策略意義。
HZMB will enhance the economic development and connections among the cities of Guangdong - Hong Kong - Macao Bay Area Bay Area facilitate the movements of the people in the Bay Area and have strategic significance for the development of both Hong Kong and the Bay Area
為便利通行及增加大橋的使用率，讓大橋發揮最大的經濟和運輸效益，粵港澳政府一直積極研究和商訂一套切合三地居民、旅客和業界需要的跨境交通安排。
To facilitate the traffic and enhance the usage of HZMB and maximize the economic and transport benefits of HZMB the Governments of Guangdong Hong Kong and Macao Special Administrative Regions have been actively studying and discussing the cross - boundary transport arrangements to meet the needs of local residents travellers and trades of the three places
三地政府合作安排不同跨境交通工具經大橋往來三地，便利有不同交通需要的旅客。
The three Governments have already agreed to arrange different types of cross - boundary transport for travellers with various travel needs to travel to the three places using HZMB
我們亦會在香港口岸設立公共運輸交匯處，提供多種本地公共交通工具，便利旅客來往香港口岸及香港各區。
We will also put in place a public transport interchange at the Hong Kong Port providing different types of local public transport for travellers between Hong Kong Port and other districts in Hong Kong
就柯創盛議員的主體質詢，我現綜合答覆如下： 就主體質詢所指，三地政府正研究推行泊車轉乘的安排，根據內地提供的資料，大橋珠海口岸並沒有設置入境車輛停車場，現時內地亦沒有建議在珠海口岸為香港私家車提供泊車轉乘計劃。
My consolidated reply to Mr Wilson ORs question is as follows On the quote in the question that the three Governments are studying the park - and - ride arrangements according to information provided by the Mainland the Zhuhai Port does not provide a car park for inbound private cars and the Mainland does not plan to offer a park - and - ride scheme for Hong Kong private cars at Zhuhai Port
至於大橋香港口岸，根據項目的設計，大橋啟用時不會設置入境私家車停車場。
As regards Hong Kong Port according to the project design of HZMB there will be no inbound car park upon the commissioning
土木工程拓展署及規劃署現正就香港口岸上蓋發展進行可行性研究，探討如何善用香港口岸人工島的上蓋和地下空間作商業及其他經 濟土地用途。
The Civil Engineering and Development Department and the Planning Department are conducting a feasibility study for the topside development at Hong Kong Boundary Crossing Facilities Island of HZMB to explore how to optimize the land at the Hong Kong Port for topside and underground development for commercial and other economic land uses
視乎研究結果及土地的用途，政府會積極考慮在上蓋發展提供泊車位，包括研究入境車輛停車場的可行性，以滿足香港市民及入境旅客的泊車需求。
Subject to the study results and land use the government will proactively consider providing parking spaces
主席，局長剛才的主體答覆中，有一段說話我非常認同，"大橋亦可加速粵港澳大灣區內城市的經濟發展和連繫，方便市民往來，對香港以至粵港澳大灣區的整體發展具有策略意義"。
President I strongly with the remarks made by the Secretary in his main reply that HZMB will enhance the economic development and connections among the cities of Guangdong - Hong Kong - Macao Bay Area facilitate the movements of the people in the Bay Area and have strategic significance for the development of both Hong Kong and the Bay Area
我們知道港珠澳三地泊車轉乘安排，可以令車流不會忽然增加交通網絡的負荷。
We know that providing park - and - ride arrangements in Hong Kong Zhuhai and Macao can prevent a sudden increase in traffic load in the transport network
但是，據我們現在所見，政府在處理交通措施配套方面，仍然非常"龜速"，民建聯團隊向政府提供了很多意見，可惜局長或其團隊都是"左耳入，右耳出"。
However according to our observation the Government is still handling the issue of ancillary transport services at tortoise speed . The Democratic Alliance for the Betterment and Progress of Hong Kong DAB has put forward many proposals to the Government but unfortunately the Secretary and his team have turned a deaf ear to us
我想藉這個機會追問局長，現時香港提供650個本地私家車泊位，一直被指嚴重不足，請問政府有否考慮盡快覓地增加泊車位？
I would like to take this opportunity to follow the matter up with the Secretary . The current plan of providing 650 parking spaces in Hong Kong for private cars has all along been criticized as seriously inadequate . Has the Government considered expeditiously identifying sites for providing more parking spaces?
另外，政府如何配合整個東涌發展，一併進行研究？
Besides will the Government conduct studies which take the overall development of Tung Chung into account?
此外，我剛才說過，在規劃方面，香港政府正積極研究香港口岸的上蓋發展，並考慮提供泊車位，不但可以為入境車輛提供停泊位，亦可以為香港市民的本地車輛提供停泊位。
Furthermore as I said before in terms of planning the Hong Kong Government is proactively conducting a study on building a topside development at the Hong Kong Port and will consider providing parking spaces there . This will provide parking spaces not only for inbound vehicles but also for local vehicles for Hong Kong people
整體來說，三地政府的共同願景，是將大橋的經濟運輸效益提升至最高點。
On the whole the common vision of the three Governments is to maximize the economic and transport benefits of HZMB
希望局長幫忙爭取。
I hope the Secretary can assist in achieving this result
我相信大家從報章可看到，香檳金色的雙層巴士會投入服務，而且班次非常頻密，每5分鐘一班。
I believe Members have read in the newspaper that the champagne gold double - decker will commence service soon . It will provide high frequency service operating at a five - minute interval
市民在繁忙時間如果乘的士到公共運輸交匯處，基本上可即時轉乘穿梭巴士，我相信這是一項很好的安排。
If people take a taxi to the public transport interchange during peak hours they can basically catch a shuttle bus immediately . I believe that is a very good arrangement
然而，巴士與的士在車流量和載客量方面，始終有很大分別。
Nevertheless coaches and taxis differ greatly in terms of traffic volume and passenger capacity
我們希望在推行交通管制，甚或是綠色出行方面也以集體運輸為骨幹。
We hope that in implementing traffic control or a green transport system we will use the mass transit system as the backbone
如果市民有興趣，亦可以自駕前往澳門，這也是避免乘坐的士的一個方法，因為的士在香港市區、新界或大嶼山的需求頗大，我希望把的士留在香港，服務香港市民和遊客。
If members of the public are interested in driving their own vehicles to Macao they can do so . This is one way to avoid taking a taxi . As the demand for taxis is great in the urban areas of Hong Kong the New Territories and Lantau I hope that taxis can stay in Hong Kong to serve local residents and visitors
問題是現時澳門有3000多個停車位供香港的汽車使用，但珠海卻沒有，所以車輛可以直接駛走。
The problem is that at present while Macao has provided 3 000 - plus parking spaces for Hong Kong vehicles none is provided in Zhuhai and so vehicles have to leave immediately
不過，局長是否知悉，現時澳門和珠海準備在當地發出多少個可以駕駛至香港的牌照？
However does the Secretary know how many licences the authorities of Macao and Zhuhai have planned to issue which allow vehicles to cross the boundaries to Hong Kong?
如果我們現在沒有數字，而香港只有600多個停車位，將來如何處理？
If we do not have the figures now and only 600 - plus parking spaces are provided in Hong Kong how can we handle the situation in the future?
如果大家參閱今次申請大橋兩地牌私家車配額的條款，便會發現較以往寬鬆很多，反映三地政府會盡可能讓三地市民享受大橋的便利。
If Members refer to the current conditions for applying for a cross - boundary private car quota to use HZMB they will notice that the conditions are much more lenient than before . This shows that the three Governments are trying their best to enable the people of the three places to enjoy the convenience brought by HZMB
無論如何，我們估算至2021年，北大嶼山公路的車流量相較設計的容車量，只達到70%。
In any event we estimated that by 2021 the VC ratio of the North Lantau Highway will only reach 70 %
所以，按目前估算，直至2021年，整體交通運輸配套已足以處理我們預計的車流量。
Thus according to our current estimation the overall ancillary transport services will be able to meet the needs of the projected traffic volume up until 2021
正如我剛才所說，為何三地政府均採取配額制作為主要的交通管理措施？
Why have the three Governments adopted the quota system as a major measure in traffic control?
當然，實際操作時，我們會部署一些策略性安排。
Certainly in actual operation we will make strategic arrangements
主席，大橋香港口岸會提供不少於650個私家車泊車位，供本地非跨境私家車停泊。
President the HZMB Hong Kong Port will provide no less than 650 parking spaces for non - cross - boundary local private cars
除私家車外，大橋通車後亦有不少非跨境旅遊巴士在口岸接送旅客，尤其在繁忙時間，大批旅遊巴士會提早到關口等待接載旅客。
Apart from private cars many non - cross - boundary coaches will pick up and drop off passengers at the Hong Kong Port after the commissioning of HZMB . During peak hours a large number of coaches will wait for their passengers at the border control point
