任何人如在香港於本身業務過程中製造受管制電器，或為了分發而輸入受管制電器，便須登記為登記供應商。
Anyone who in the course of his business manufactures regulated electrical equipment REE in Hong Kong or imports REE into Hong Kong for distribution is required to register as a registered supplier
登記供應商須為受管制電器向消費者提供循環再造標籤。
A registered supplier must provide a recycling label for each item of REE for consumers
受管制電器銷售商亦必須提供除舊服務，即凡向消費者分發一件受管制電器，須按消費者的要求，從指定的處所移走另一件同類的電器，以供妥善處置，而消費者無須支付額外費用。
A seller of REE must also provide removal services which means that after distributing an item of REE to a consumer the seller is required to upon the request of the consumer arrange for the removal of an item of REE of the same class from a premises designated by the consumer for proper disposal free of charge
當局會向受管制電器的登記供應商收取循環再造費，以收回計劃的全部成本。
A registered supplier will then be required to pay recycling levies for full cost recovery
《條例草案》同時修訂《廢物處置條例》，把廢物處置發牌管制的範圍擴展至受管制電器廢物。
Concurrently the Waste Disposal Ordinance WDO was amended by the Bill to extend the waste disposal licensing control to the disposal of regulated e - waste
如果符合指定條件，簡單及小規模的拆解工序可獲得豁免。
If the specified conditions are met simple and small - scale dismantling procedures may be exempted
《條例草案》的審議歷時將近1年，經過各方努力，終於在2016年3月17日的立法會會議完成二讀辯論及全體委員會審議階段，並順利通過成為《2016年促進循環再造及妥善處置條例》。
After one year of scrutiny and thanks to efforts by all parties the Bill finally received its Second Reading and passed through Committee at the Legislative Council meeting on 17 March 2016 and was enacted as the Promotion of Recycling and Proper Disposal Amendment Ordinance 2016
我不厭其詳地講述這番來龍去脈，旨在向立法會議員同事和社會說明，關於推行生產者責任計劃和廢電器計劃，各界人士經過多年的討論、諮詢，並對《條例草案》作出審議，由立法會通過成為主體法例，確立規管框架，基本上不存在很大的爭議。
I have told the full story in great detail because I wish to illustrate to Members of this Council and society that insofar as the implementation of PRSs and WPRS is concerned the Bill had been scrutinized by people from all walks of life after years of discussion and consultation before it was passed by the Legislative Council for enactment into primary legislation and the establishment of a regulatory framework . Hence there are basically no major disputes
同時，為了順利推行廢電器計劃，政府決定斥資興建相關設施，於2015年2月27日獲財務委員會批准了一筆約5億5,000萬元的撥款申請，以便在屯門環保園一幅3公頃的用地，進一步發展本地的廢電器電子產品處理及回收設施。
Meanwhile for the smooth implementation of WPRS the Government decided to finance the construction of relevant facilities . On 27 February 2015 a 550 million funding application was approved by the Finance Committee for the further development of a local WEEETRF on a 3 - hectare site at the EcoPark in Tuen Mun
環境保護署透過公開招標，與一家合資公司簽訂合約，設計、建造及營運上述設施，每年營運費用約2億元。
The Environmental Protection Department has also awarded through open tender to a joint venture enterprise a contract to design build and operate the aforesaid WEEETRF and the operating cost involved is approximately 200 million per annum
該設施已於去年年初舉行動土典禮，預計今年下半年啟用，每年可處理和循環再造3萬公噸廢電器電子產品，約佔全港相關生產量的43%，可有效支援相關生產者責任計劃的實施，增加本港將廢電器電子產品變成可再用物料，轉廢為材的能力。
Following its ground - breaking ceremony early last year WEEETRF is expected to come into operation in the latter half of this year . By then it may dispose of and recycle 30 000 tonnes of WEEE which account for approximately 43 % of the related waste produced in Hong Kong . This can provide effective support for the implementation of relevant PRSs and enhance the territorys capacity of turning WEEE into reusable materials
主席，我曾多番強調，當局在推行生產者責任計劃和廢電器計劃的時候，需加強與相關業界的溝通，訂立務實可行的方案，包括盡快擬備所需的附屬法例。
President I have repeatedly emphasized that in the implementation of PRSs and WPRS the Administration should strengthen its communication with the relevant trades and formulate pragmatic and practicable proposals including drafting and preparing the required subsidiary legislation expeditiously
顯然，當局提交小組委員會審議的《生效公告》及《受管制電器規例》正是屬於整個推行計劃的重要部分。
Apparently the Commencement Notice and the REE Regulation are a key component of the entire implementation scheme
政府原本計劃在今年年底開始對未領有牌照而處置電器廢物實施禁制。
The Government originally planned to prohibit the disposal of e - waste without a licence starting from the end of this year
主席，我曾促請當局注意，從相關下游作業的規劃的草擬、立法會對附屬法例的審議和生效，至到各項配套措施的落實，涉及多方面的問題，短短半年的時間是否務實可行的目標，尤其是給予環保回收業界的適應期是否足夠？
President I have urged the Administration to pay attention to the fact that all matters ranging from the drafting of plans for downstream operations the scrutiny by the Legislative Council of subsidiary legislation and its commencement to the implementation of various ancillary measures involve issues on many fronts . Is half a year a pragmatic and feasible goal and in particular is the adaptation period given to the recycling trade adequate?
我曾親自與部分業界人士會面，聽取他們的訴求和意見。
I have personally met with some trade practitioners and listen to their aspirations and views
上星期日，更有近1,000名回收業界人士到政府總部外請願，主要批評牌照門檻過高，要求暫緩法例實施。
Last Sunday nearly 1 000 recyclers made a petition outside the Central Government Offices . Criticizing mainly the exceedingly high licensing threshold they requested that the commencement of the legislation be deferred
環境局局長黃錦星先生隨後表示會積極考慮業界的意見，擬將新牌照制度延至明年年底才生效，令業界有較多時間準備。
Subsequently Secretary for the Environment WONG Kam - sing indicated that he would actively consider the views of the trade with the intention of deferring the commencement of the new licensing regime to the end of next year to allow more time for preparation by the trade
然而，正如我在主持小組委員會會議時指出，儘管主體法例涵蓋整個環保回收業的供應鏈，但《生效公告》及《受管制電器規例》主要是針對供應鏈的上游，即關於受管制電器供應商的登記申請及除舊服務方案的要求等事宜，而業界部分團體代表所反映的意見，則來自供應鏈的下游，超出小組委員會的處理權限。
Nevertheless as I pointed out at a Subcommittee meeting chaired by me although the entire supply chain of the recycling trade is covered by the primary legislation the Commencement Notice and the REE Regulation pinpoint mainly the upstream supply chain namely matters related to the registration applications made by suppliers of REE and requirements for removal service proposals and so on the views relayed by some trade deputations came from the downstream supply chain which are beyond the remit of the Subcommittee
主席，特區政府推動環保減廢的誠意和努力是有目共睹的，但在推行過程中，必須考慮到整個環保回收業的上下游供應鏈。
President the sincerity of and efforts by the SAR Government in promoting waste reduction are evident to all . However in the course of implementation consideration must be given to the entire upstream and downstream supply chains of the recycling trade
回收業營運者有不少是中小企，當局要給予業界適當的過渡期，更要注意各項配套措施的落實和相關政府部門的協調，才可以收事半功倍之效。
Given that quite a number of recyclers are small and medium enterprises the Administration should give the trade an appropriate transitional period and what is more pay attention to the implementation of various ancillary measures and the coordination of related government departments in order to yield twice the result with half the effort
代理主席，每次我經過青山公路汀九段，都會看見很多喜歡踏單車和跑步的人士沿海濱一直前往西鐵站。
Deputy President every time I went past Castle Peak Road - Ting Kau Section I would see many people who like cycling and jogging moving towards the West Rail station along the harbourfront
我相信在香港推行單車友善政策，真的好事多磨，未必會只是一兩年的事情。
I believe the implementation of a bicycle - friendly policy in Hong Kong is really meritorious but preceded by many rough goings . It may not be accomplished in just a couple of years
但是，我們仍有很多夢想，例如我們一直希望能在西九有連綿不絕的海濱長廊。
Nevertheless we still have many dreams . For example we always wish to have a continuous harbourfront promenade in Kowloon West
我記得當時與仍然是發展局局長的林鄭月娥女士會面時，我們向她提出能否先易後難，先興建一段，再做下一段。
I remember that at that time when we met with Ms Carrie LAM who was the then Secretary for Development we asked her if the Government could work on the easier part first and the difficult ones later constructing a section first and then proceeding to the next one
西九文化區的配套及很多其他情景，令我們看到一點希望。
The ancillary facilities in the West Kowloon Cultural District and many other scenes have given us a glimpse of hope
我知道要發展這項政策，除了政策和法例的問題外，當然亦涉及環保、體育、交通、教育及城市規劃。
I know that apart from policy and legal issues the development of such a policy will certainly involve environmental protection sports transport education and town planning
因為在討論海濱規劃時，我們曾經提出能否劃出部分路段供單車行駛，但有市民反對。
Because during our discussion about the harbourfront planning we proposed designating some road sections for cycling but some members of the public objected
剛才很多同事提及德國，我覺得除了德國外，荷蘭也做得很好。
Just now many Honourable colleagues mentioned Germany . I think apart from Germany the Netherlands has also done a good job
如果整個城市開始認為這是好事，有利環保和空氣，而很多年青人亦喜歡，那我們便應盡量在設計和規劃上，看看能否配合此事。
If the entire city starts to consider it as something good to environmental protection and the air quality and many young people also like it then we should try to see if we can facilitate this cause by all means in design and planning
所以，我們覺得在這方面，政府有需要在法例上進行研究。
Hence in our view the Government needs to conduct a study on the legislation in this regard
所以，即使單車不會立即成為正式的交通工具，我覺得亦需要修訂法例，從安全方面考慮，提供更清晰的指引。
For this reason even though bicycles will not immediately become a formal mode of transport I think there is still a need to amend the legislation and provide clearer guidelines out of safety considerations
當然，我們會在大方向上支持許智峯議員的議案，但政府須做很多工夫，我們才能放心。
Certainly we will support Mr HUI Chi - fungs motion in the general direction but the Government must do a lot of work before we can rest assured
將單車定為交通運輸工具，會否太隨便？
Is it too reckless to designate bicycles as a mode of transport?
會否發生很多道路上的意外？
Will many accidents happen on roads?
我希望政府會如我剛才所說般，改變思維，我特別希望運輸及房屋局在處理單車友善政策 時，會從多個角度考慮。
I hope the Government will change its mindset as mentioned by me just now . In particular I hope the Transport and Housing Bureau will make consideration from various angles when it deals with the bicycle - friendly policy
此事涉及道路設計師、教育界、文化界，以至負責新市鎮規劃的發展局，因為發展局興建連綿不絕的海濱長廊時，要盡量劃出一些路段，以落實單車友善政策，讓踏單車的人可以安全使用，而行人亦能安全。
This matter involves road designers the education sector the cultural sector as well as the Development Bureau which is responsible for new town planning . It is because in constructing a continuous harbourfront promenade the Development Bureau will have to exert its best to designate some road sections for implementation of the bicycle - friendly policy so that cyclists can use the road safely while the safety of pedestrians can also be assured
另外，過往多年，我認為在香港島踏單車的機會相當小，不過，早前規劃中環灣仔繞道和相關的填海工程時，有否考慮建設海濱單車徑貫穿香港島的北面，即可能由上環至柴灣呢？
Moreover in the past many years I believed the chance of riding a bicycle on Hong Kong Island was quite slim . However when planning the Central - Wan Chai Bypass and its related reclamation works earlier did the authorities consider building a harbourfront cycle track running through the north shore of Hong Kong Island meaning possibly from Sheung Wan to Chai Wan?
第一，輔助電動單車不是新事物，外國早在10年前已有，讓踏單車的人不用太費力，特別是上斜路。
First pedelecs are nothing new . Coming into existence in foreign countries 10 years ago they allow riders to save their energy when riding especially going uphill
台灣也一樣，但台灣與一些大型的單車廠合作。
It is the same case with Taiwan but it cooperates with some sizable bicycle manufacturers
香港最大的問題，就是我們的公共交通政策說來說去都是以鐵路為骨幹，但現時的規劃長期出現強幹弱枝的情況。
The greatest problem of Hong Kong is that our public transport policy no matter how you phrase it focuses on railway as the backbone but there has long been a problem of strong core and weak branches in the planning
主席，今天這項議案倡議參考現行兒童發展基金及海外含儲蓄成分的成長基金的做法，為新生嬰兒設立三方共同儲蓄的"嬰兒基金"。
President this motion today advocates making reference to the practices adopted by the existing Child Development Fund CDF and overseas growth funds with savings elements to establish for newborns a baby fund underpinned by tripartite savings
但自由黨認為有關議題未經深思熟慮，具體內容及目標亦含糊。
But the Liberal Party considers the proposal ill - conceived with vague details and objectives
首先，如果參考兒童發展基金的做法，我們首先要明白，成立於2008年的兒童發展基金旨在促進弱勢社群的兒童較長遠的發展，從而減少跨代貧窮的情況，對受惠兒童的家庭收入有一定限制。
First if we make reference to the practice adopted by CDF the first thing we need to understand is CDF founded in 2008 aims to facilitate the longer - term development of children from disadvantaged backgrounds with a view to alleviating inter - generational poverty with certain restrictions imposed on the household income of the beneficiaries
如果參考海外一些地區的做法如新加坡政府的兒童發展儲蓄合作計劃，計劃主要支援兒童在成長過程中所涉及的教育及醫療開支。
If we make reference to the practices adopted by some overseas places such as the Child Development Co - Savings Scheme launched by the Singaporean Government we should know that it mainly supports children in coping with the education and medical expenses arising from their upbringing
根據計劃內容，政府除支付第一部分的前期基金外，在第二部分的家庭儲蓄上，新加坡政府亦會按家庭的投入金額，以不超過最高限額為前提，存入與父母所存數額相等的配對金，為期最長12年。
According to the details of the Scheme in addition to an initial fund disbursed by the Government as the first step for household savings as the next step based on the household input the Singaporean Government will also match dollar - for - dollar the amount of savings parents contribute subject to a cap for a maximum period of 12 years
有關計劃並非旨在扶貧，新加坡政府期望透過有關計劃鼓勵家庭生育。
The Scheme seeks not to alleviate poverty . The Singaporean Government expects that families will be encouraged to have more children through the Scheme
既然是一項鼓勵生育的措施，當然不受家庭入息所限制。
As it is a measure to boost the fertility rate it is naturally not subject to any household income restrictions
因此，自由黨不明白今次議案的目的究竟是為了扶貧還是為了鼓勵生育。
Hence the Liberal Party wonders whether the motion this time around seeks to alleviate poverty or boost the fertility rate
如果是兩者並行，自由黨認為這個計劃自相矛盾，沒有並存的空間。
If this proposition is intended to serve two purposes in nature the Liberal Party will think that it is self - contradictory with no room for both to co - exist
"嬰兒基金"一旦定性為扶貧措施，則有關資源是以集中幫助有需要的家庭為分配原則，其界線的設定可能引起社會關注會否存在歧視標籤，引起分化。
Once the baby fund is positioned as a poverty alleviation measure the principle of allocation will then be directing resources to helping those families in need . The line drawn may arouse public concern about whether there is any discriminatory labelling thereby leading to division
即使社會能夠消化有關內容，但在現有兒童發展基金或相關計劃的基礎上再發展一項同類型的基金計劃，自由黨認為這項措施屬多此一舉。
Even if such an initiative is gradually accepted by the community the Liberal Party considers it redundant to launch a similar fund project on top of the existing CDF or associated projects
如果"嬰兒基金"是一項鼓勵生育的措施，我們應該予以支持，但如何集資、集資多少、"全民通派"的做法是否合乎經濟原則，以及有關資源能否長期持續，均是值得斟酌的問題。
If the baby fund is a measure to boost the fertility rate we should support it . But how to raise funds the amount to be raised whether the approach of indiscriminate provision of benefits is cost - effective and whether such resources are sustainable in the long run are issues that warrant deliberations
自由黨亦擔心有關議題會重蹈退休保障議題的覆轍，令社會在如何分配資源上爭論不休。
The Liberal Party is also worried that it will be a repeat of the retirement protection issue causing endless disputes over the allocation of resources in the community
此外，原議案建議"嬰兒基金"的用途，主要用作子女個人進修、置業、應付危疾，以及未來退休保障事宜上，以從小建立子女個人儲蓄的習慣，並協助提升其向上流動的機會。
Moreover as proposed by the original motion the baby fund should be used mainly by children for further studies home acquisition coping with critical illnesses and retirement protection in the future so that children can develop the habit of keeping personal savings at a tender age and be given more opportunities of upward mobility
自由黨認為這種"一條龍全包宴"，無論目標還是做法均脫離現實，難以實行。
The Liberal Party considers that such a one - stop all - in - one package is detached from reality both in terms of its objectives and approach and its implementation will be difficult
建議的基金是依賴父母儲蓄而非子女個人儲蓄為基礎，故儲蓄的是父母，而非子女本人。
The basis of the proposed fund is savings by parents instead of children so the ones who make such savings are parents not children themselves
因此，這項"從小建立子女個人儲蓄習慣"的目標似乎略嫌牽強。
For this reason the objective of enabling children to develop the habit of keeping personal savings at a tender age seems a bit far - fetched
其次，置業是人生大事，需要周詳計劃，亦建基於個人的經濟基礎，而且並非所有嬰兒皆要置業，如香港現時有六成人口居於公營房屋。
Furthermore home acquisition is an important life event that requires well - thought - out planning founded on personal financial strength and that not all babies have to acquire homes . For example 60 % of the local population are currently living in public housing
因此，我相信如果要社會為每名嬰孩承擔有關責任及成本，將難以達致共識。
Hence I believe that if such responsibilities and costs are to be borne by the community for each baby it will be difficult to reach a consensus
再者，退休保障是在職以後長遠的人生規劃，而現時僱主及僱員每月已經按他們的薪金水平作固定百分比的供款。
In addition retirement protection is long - term life planning upon entry to the job market and at present both employers and employees are making monthly contributions at fixed percentages according to their salary levels
如果再根據修正案的建議，由政府、家庭及私營企業共同承擔"嬰兒基金"的供款，無論基金的出發點是扶貧還是鼓勵生育，做法亦等同向私營企業"開刀"，出師無名，自然難以獲得公眾支持。
If we go further to require the Government families and private enterprises to collectively make contributions to the baby fund as proposed by the amendment no matter whether the fund seeks to alleviate poverty or boost the fertility rate such an approach is tantamount to victimizing private enterprises . In the absence of valid grounds it is naturally difficult to garner public support
況且，現時經濟下滑，當局近年又先後推出多項不利營商的政策如最低工資等，令商界的經營環境越來越惡劣。
Moreover given the current economic slowdown coupled with a number of policies unfavourable to business launched by the authorities one after another in recent years such as the minimum wage the operating environment of the business sector has gone from bad to worse
有見及此，當局實在不應該向私營企業一再"開刀"，以免鼓勵生育不成，反而拖累經濟進一步下滑，適得其反。
In view of this the authorities should really refrain from victimizing private enterprises time and again so as to avoid any backfiring that may drag the economy further down while the attempt to boost the fertility rate also ends in failure
其實，無論是鼓勵生育還是推動各項有利兒童成長和發展的措施，自由黨均不抗拒，兩者不存在任何矛盾和衝突。
In fact the Liberal Party has no negative thoughts about any attempt to boost the fertility rate or taking forward various measures conducive to the upbringing and development of children as there is no contradiction and conflict between both
但說到底，政府坐擁兩萬多億元的外匯及財政儲備，理應承擔更重要的推動角色，亦應肩負起財務上的最大支援。
But after all given its foreign exchange reserves and fiscal reserves amounting to some 2,000 billion the Government should assume a more significant role of promotion and be committed to offering the strongest financial backing
根據海外經驗，在鼓勵生育的政策範疇上，相比只提供經濟誘因，全面的計劃配套更為可取。
According to overseas experience in the policy area of boosting the fertility rate comprehensive planning and ancillary measures are more desirable than the provision of financial incentives alone
自由黨期望政府在現有的資源基礎上，能夠痛定思痛，制訂全面的人口及鼓勵生育政策，為未來社會的發展注入新動力。
The Liberal Party expects the Government to learn the painful lesson formulating a comprehensive population policy to boost the fertility rate on the basis of the existing resources thereby injecting new impetus for the future development of our society
當我聽到蔣麗芸議員一開始時建議香港動用1,000億元成立"嬰兒基金"時，真的倒抽一口涼氣。
When I heard Dr CHIANG Lai - wan propose at the outset using 100 billion to establish a baby fund in Hong Kong I really gasped with surprise
我甚少贊同政府的用財理念，因我認為政府在多方面也是"大嘥鬼"，有很多"大白象"工程，但對於局長剛才指出這並非最有效運用公共資源的方法，我卻絕對認同的。
I seldom approve of the Governments philosophy of spending because I consider the Government a squanderer in various aspects and it has many white elephant projects . But I absolutely agree with the Secretary who pointed out just now that this is not the most effective way of utilizing public resources . As always Dr CHIANG Lai - wan fails to sort out concepts clearly
反之，我聽到提出修正案的議員的發言則比較有條理。
As I have heard the speech made by Members proposing the amendment was on the contrary more organized with reasons . The whole matter has reversed the cause and the effect
我從2014年12月的舊剪報得知，蔣麗芸議員當時已提出本港要成立"嬰兒基金"，每當有一名嬰兒出生，政府便為孩子注資1萬元，每年注資1次，直至孩子18歲。
I learnt from an old newspaper clipping in December 2014 that Dr CHIANG Lai - wan had already proposed the establishment of a baby fund in Hong Kong at that time . After the birth of each baby the Government was to inject 10,000 for the baby once a year until he was 18 years old
有報道指出，當時的民建聯主席譚耀宗擺出一副"冷面"，回答那是蔣議員的個人意見及看法，與黨派無關。
It was reported that TAM Yiu - chung the then Chairman of the Democratic Alliance for the Betterment and Progress of Hong Kong DAB replied with a poker face that it was Dr CHIANGs personal view and opinion which had nothing to do with their party
我真想聽聽民建聯整個黨是否也鼓吹現時她這套主張。
I really wish to hear whether the entire DAB advocates her proposition now
為何我說整件事是倒果為因呢？
Why did I say that the whole matter had reversed the cause and the effect?
至於政府的"高地價政策"，一直被人詬病，而地價仍是越來越高。
The Governments high land price policy has all along been a subject of criticism and land prices are surging higher and higher
政府出售港島南區香港仔一帶的一幅土地，由中國大陸的富豪以不合理的"天價"買入，估計高出市價四成，我們的土地被"赤化"。
A land lot in the Aberdeen area on Island South put up for sale by the Government was bought by a tycoon from Mainland China at an unreasonably astronomical price estimated to be 40 % higher than the market price . Our land has been Mainlandized
主席，多謝許智峯議員提出今次的議案，讓大家確認一下，香港其實出現了"單車極不友善政策"。
President I thank Mr HUI Chi - fung for proposing this motion which confirms that there is actually a bicycle - unfriendly policy in Hong Kong
主席，有同事說要申報，其實也不是真正申報：我不懂踏單車，我從小到大都住在港島區。
President an Honourable colleague has made a declaration of interest . It is not really a declaration of interest I do not know how to ride a bicycle . I grew up living on Hong Kong Island
要學踏單車，當然首先要視乎家人會否購買單車讓你學習，也可以租用單車，但在香港島可讓人學習踏單車的地方，其實也相當危險。
To learn how to ride a bicycle first it depends on whether ones family will buy a bicycle for such a learning purpose . One may also rent a bicycle but the places on Hong Kong Island where people can learn cycling are rather dangerous
其實單車佔用的空間小，又可點對點，亦可個人化，可說絕對是零污染，推動單車應能有效改善香港市區空氣質素。
Bicycles occupy less space can go from point to point and can be personalized . Promoting cycling which can be considered as pollution - free should effectively improve the air quality in Hong Kong
但是，不知為何政府沒有想過單車其實也可以解決交通問題，反而覺得會引致更多交通問題。
However for some reasons unknown the Government does not think cycling can solve transport problems but will instead create more transport problems
我們在這方面似乎遠遠落後於其他國際城市。
We seem to lag far behind other international cities in this regard
世界很多大城市早已發展個人化及點對點的運輸方式，包括單車，偏偏香港政府卻背道而馳。
Many major cities in the world have developed personalized point - to - point modes of transport . Bicycles are one of them . The Hong Kong Government however runs counter to this trend
政府在上星期提交了《公共交通策略研究》，我們當然理解所談的是公共交通，但似乎完全沒有涉獵整個規劃，甚至沒有就共享單車等作出具體建議，似乎只是談及正在進行或將來小修小補形式的政策，實在令人失望。
The Public Transport Strategy Study was tabled by the Government last week . Although we understand that it is about public transport there seems to be no overall planning or concrete recommendations on bicycle - sharing . The study was disappointing as it seemed to focus only on patching up existing or future policies
香港地方小，市民日常前往很多不同的地方，距離可能也只是1公里內。
Hong Kong is a small place . People travel probably within a radius of 1 km daily
在香港島有多一個公共交通工具的選擇，就是電車，但在較遠的地方，以單車代步就非常理想，但政府似乎不以為然。
There is one more public transport option on Hong Kong Island that is the tram . But in more distant places cycling is an ideal form of transport an argument which the Government seems to disagree
主席，許智峯議員提出"制訂單車友善政策，將單車定為交通運輸工具"的議案，我是贊成的。
President I support the motion on Formulating a bicycle - friendly policy and designating bicycles as a mode of transport proposed by Mr HUI Chi - fung
一直以來，不少單車使用者經常反映，香港的政策不利於單車，因為我們看到，首先是單車徑不足，其次是難以找到泊車位，有些地方甚至沒有泊車位；如果想將單車帶上巴士或港鐵，根本沒甚麼可能，乘客或須將車輪拆下，甚至不准把單車帶入車廂。
All along many cyclists have reflected from time to time that the policies in Hong Kong are unfavourable to bicycles because as we can see firstly there are not enough cycle tracks and secondly it is difficult to find bicycle parking spaces . At some places there is even no parking space . If a passenger wishes to board a bus or an MTR train with a bicycle it is almost impossible to do so
我們說香港是一個國際都會，但相比其他國家或地區，我們真的非常落後。
The passenger may have to remove a wheel . He may even not be allowed to take the bicycle into the compartment . We say that Hong Kong is an international metropolis but compared with other countries or regions we are really most backward
最主要的原因是，政府一直將單車視作一種消閒工具，而非交通工具，所以，在設計道路及規劃社區時，並無我覺得是完全沒有預留一些空間給單車使用者。
The main reason is that the Government has all along regarded bicycles as a tool of leisure rather than a mode of transport . For this reason in designing roads and conducting community planning it did not―I do not think it did anything at all―reserve any space for cyclists
