代理主席，在上月25日的內務委員會會議上，謝偉俊議員尋求內務委員會支持他提出今天這項議案，當時大家已有一番辯論。
Deputy President at the meeting of the House Committee on the 25 of last month Mr Paul TSE solicited support from the House Committee for proposing this motion today . At that time Members already had an intense debate
當天，我特別留意鄭松泰議員的發言。
That day I paid special attention to Dr CHENG Chung - tais speech
鄭議員在發言中只重申主席當天已作出裁決趕他離場，已對他作出懲罰。
In his speech Dr CHENG only reiterated that the President had already made the ruling that him be removed from the Chamber that day which was already a punishment to him
他固然隻字不提當天主席裁決他行為不檢，亦迴避評論自己的有關行為是否恰當和檢點，反而不住轉移視線，指稱他人上綱上線、政治審判、政治鬥爭，對他提出讉責議案是過火。
He certainly made no mention of the ruling of the President that his acts were misbehaviour that day and avoided commenting on whether his acts in question were proper and decent . Instead he kept diverting attention alleging that others were escalating the matter to the political plane to subject him to a political trial and initiate a political struggle and that the censure motion proposed against him had gone overboard
鄭議員不但沒有顯示絲毫悔意或反躬自省的態度，反而作出狡辯，含血噴人。
Instead of showing the slightest remorse or an attitude of self - reflection Dr CHENG applied sophistry and made slanderous accusations of others
如果鄭議員能夠自我檢討，表示歉意，我非常樂意重新考慮。
If Dr CHENG could reflect on himself and extend his apology I would be more than willing to consider the issue afresh
代理主席，關於鄭議員倒掛國旗可能涉及的法律問題，已交由執法部門調查，我不在此作評論。
Deputy President regarding the potential legal issues arising from Dr CHENGs inverting the national flags as they are now under investigation by law enforcement agencies I will not comment on them
現時我們需要討論的是，如果一位已依法宣誓的議員在立法會大會期間，在莊嚴的議事堂作出侮辱、污衊國家和特區的行為，大家認為是否算得上符合這位議員的就職宣誓？
What we need to discuss now is that if a Member having taken his oath in accordance with law has done acts to insult and smear the country and SAR in the solemn Chamber during a Legislative Council meeting do Members think that this Member has lived up to the oath taken by him upon assumption of office?
是否算得上擁護《基本法》和效忠香港特區？
Can we say that he upholds the Basic Law and bears allegiance to SAR?
這與毛孟靜議員所指的愛國主義並無直接關係。
This has no direct link with patriotism as suggested by Ms Claudia MO
雖然鄭議員並未在立法會為他的有關行為作出詳細辯解，但他在Facebook有一段留言，詆毀當天建制派在桌上安放中國國旗和特區區旗是"媚共"，又表示自己"對此等低劣、廉價的愛國行為表示遺憾，因此在點人數期間，謹代表港人倒插區旗宣示不滿"。
Although Dr CHENG has not presented any detailed grounds of defence for his acts in question in the Legislative Council he has left a message on Facebook defaming the act of the pro - establishment camp of placing the national flags of China and the regional flags of SAR on the desks that day as pandering to the communists and indicating that he expressed deep regret at such despicable and low - cost patriotic acts so he inverted the regional flag during a quorum call on behalf of Hong Kong people to air grievances
這種含有敵意、隨意污衊建制派的言論和行為實在令人極度遺憾，顯示鄭議員不但惡意貶低正常掛國旗和區旗的行為，並且隨意將倒插國旗和區旗視為政治表演、宣示不滿的工具。
Such hostile remarks and acts which serve to smear the pro - establishment camp arbitrarily are extremely regrettable indeed showing that Dr CHENG has not only viciously degraded the normal practice of hoisting the national and regional flags but also arbitrarily treated inverting the national and regional flags as a political performance and a tool for airing grievances
按社會大眾所見，鄭議員重複做出這種倒掛國旗和區旗的侮辱性行為，顯示他倒掛國旗和區旗是故意的行為。
As seen by the general public the insulting acts of inverting the national flags and the regional flags repeatedly done by Dr CHENG have shown that his inverting the national and regional flags is deliberate
由10月19日至今近兩個月來，鄭議員未有就他的行為表示後悔或歉意。
Over the past two months since 19 October Dr CHENG has never shown any remorse or regret for his acts
鄭議員表示，民選議員的監察來自選民。
According to Dr CHENG a Member elected by members of the public should be subject to the scrutiny of voters
按照民選機制，如果選民認為他不稱職，下次選舉時可以懲罰他。
Under the mechanism of public elections if voters consider him incompetent they may punish him in the next election
但他有否留意到他宣誓擁護的《基本法》第七十九條第七項亦設有一項機制，便是"行為不檢或違反誓言而經立法會出席會議的議員三分之二通過譴責"，會"由立法會主席宣告其喪失立法會議員的資格"？
But does he notice that there is also a mechanism under Article 797 of the Basic Law which he has sworn to uphold that the President of the Legislative Council shall declare that a member of the Council is no longer qualified for the office when he or she is censured for misbehaviour or breach of oath by a vote of two - thirds of the members of the Legislative Council present?
代理主席，我記得20多年前當我處理一宗案件時，一名被告向法官說法官不能審判或懲罰他，只有上帝才可以。
Deputy President I recall that some 20 years ago when I handled a case the defendant said to the Judge that only God not Judges was in a position to try or punish him
這種論述與鄭議員的論述實有異曲同工之妙，藉以魚目混珠、欺騙公眾。
The essence of that argument falls in the same vein as that of Dr CHENGs attempting to pass off something false as genuine and deceive the public
更甚的是，鄭議員上次在內務委員會上忽然提出一種令人難以置信的所謂論述，引述美國有關國旗的守則，指倒掛國旗有求救和希望得到大家注意的意思。
Worse still at a meeting of the House Committee on the last occasion Dr CHENG suddenly put forward a so - called argument which was hardly cogent citing the code on the national flag of the United States and pointing out that the inverted national flag signalled a call for help or attention
代理主席，其實全球不同國家對國旗也有不同規定。
Deputy President in fact different countries around the world have different requirements for their own national flags
近年，美國總統奧巴馬曾在會見東盟國家領袖時因錯誤倒掛菲律賓國旗而要為此致歉，因為在菲律賓，倒掛國旗的意思是國家處於戰爭狀態。
In recent years Barrack OBAMA President of the United States once had to apologize for wrongfully inverting the national flag of the Philippines when meeting leaders of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations because in the Philippines an inverted flag signals a state at war
為何鄭議員作為香港特別行政區的立法會議員，只是援引美國的例子，反而忽略了他宣誓擁護的《基本法》附件三訂明在香港特別行政區實施的《關於中華人民共和國國都、紀年、國歌、國旗的決議》，以及香港已訂立的《國旗及國徽條例》？份屬本土派的鄭議員口口聲聲說"港人為大"，為何在這件事上卻不理會在香港的觀感是視倒掛國旗和區旗為侮辱性的舉動？
Why did Dr CHENG as a Legislative Council Member of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region only quote the example of the United States but neglect the Resolution on the Capital Calendar National Anthem and National Flag of the Peoples Republic of China as applied in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region as stated in Annex III to the Basic Law which he had sworn to uphold and the National Flag and National Emblem Ordinance already in place in Hong Kong? . While claiming Hongkongers are the highest on this issue why does Dr CHENG of the localists pay no heed to the fact that inverting the national and regional flags is perceived in Hong Kong as an insulting act?
代理主席，如果非建制派議員接二連三做出關乎大是大非、原則性的錯事，卻沒有道德勇氣承認，實在令公眾懷疑他們的道德誠信操守，令人質疑他們擔當議員的資格。
Deputy President if non - establishment Members have committed mistakes in a row that involve cardinal issues of right and wrong and run against the principles but lack the moral courage to admit them it will definitely lead to public queries about their ethics probity and integrity questioning their qualification as Members
事已至此，我心無懸念，支持把有關事宜交付調查委員會處理，並反對陳志全議員的相關議案。
Be that as it may I firmly support referring the matter to an investigation committee but oppose the relevant motion of Mr CHAN Chi - chuen
《基本法》是香港特別行政區的憲制性文件。
The Basic Law is the constitutional document of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region HKSAR
全國人民代表大會根據《中華人民共和國憲法》制定《基本法》，規定香港特別行政區實行的制度。
In accordance with the Constitution of the Peoples Republic of China the National Peoples Congress NPC enacts the Basic Law prescribing the systems to be practised in the HKSAR
《基本法》由第七屆全國人民代表大會第三次會議通過，自1997年7月1日起實施。
The Basic Law was adopted at the Third Session of the Seventh NPC and has been put into effect since 1 July 1997
根據基本法起草委員會主任委員姬鵬飛在第七屆全國人民代表大會第三次會議上關於《中華人民共和國香港特別行政區基本法》及其有關文件的說明，國家對香港的基本方針政策已經寫入《基本法》，以《基本法》加以規定。
According to the explanations on The Basic Law of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the Peoples Republic of China Draft and its related documents by the Chairman of the Drafting Committee for the Basic Law Mr JI Pengfei at the Third Session of the Seventh NPC Chinas basic policies regarding Hong Kong have been incorporated into and stipulated within the Basic Law
自回歸以來，香港根據《基本法》實行"一國兩制"、"港人治港"和"高度自治"。
Since its return to the Motherland Hong Kong has been implementing one country two systems Hong Kong people administering Hong Kong and a high degree of autonomy in accordance with the Basic Law
國家對香港的各項基本方針政策已根據《基本法》的規定全面落實。
The basic policies of the Country regarding Hong Kong have been fully implemented as per the provisions of the Basic Law
事實上，中央政府、特區政府，以及國際社會均一致認同《基本法》自實施以來一直運作良好。
In fact the Central Government the HKSAR Government and the international community all unanimously agreed that the Basic Law has been functioning well since it was implemented
有關《基本法》在2047年後的延續，我必須指出，香港特別行政區是國家不可分離的部分，這個事實是沒有時限的。
As regards the continuation of the Basic Law after 2047 I must point out that the HKSAR is an inalienable part of the Country . This is a fact that has no time frame
國家對香港的主權在回歸50年後不會變，國家對香港的基本方針政策亦不會在回歸50年後改變，因此並不存在《基本法》在2047年後失效的問題。
The Countrys sovereignty over Hong Kong will not change 50 years after Hong Kongs return to the Motherland nor will the Country change its basic policies towards Hong Kong after 50 years . Hence there is no question of the expiry of the Basic Law after 2047
至於《基本法》第五條指"香港特別行政區不實行社會主義制度和政策，保持原有的資本主義制度和生活方式，五十年不變"，這主要是為了明確肯定保持香港原有的資本主義制度和生活方式，而不是為了訂定一個限期。
As for the stipulation in Article 5 of the Basic Law that the socialist system and policies shall not be practised in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region and the previous capitalist system and way of life shall remain unchanged for 50 years its main purpose is to state clearly that the previous capitalist system and way of life in Hong Kong shall remain unchanged rather than setting a time frame on it
全國人大常委會委員長張德江於今年5月18日在香港社會各界歡迎晚宴上就"一國兩制"的實行已有表述，我在此引述張委員長的講話："首先要堅定對'一國兩制'事業的信心。
In his speech delivered at the welcome banquet attended by various sectors of Hong Kong on 18 May this year the Chairman of the NPC Standing Committee Mr ZHANG Dejiang spoke on the issue of the implementation of one country two systems . I would like to quote from Chairman ZHANGs speech as follows I quote First of all we must firmly keep faith in one country two systems
最根本的理由有三條。
There are three fundamental reasons for doing so
過去，我們按照'一國兩制'方針，實現了香港的順利回歸，保持了繁榮穩定，促進了祖國內地與香港的共同發展。
In the past years by adhering to the principle of one country two systems we have realised Hong Kongs smooth return to the Motherland maintained the prosperity and stability of Hong Kong and promoted joint development of the Mainland and Hong Kong
那些所謂中央要把香港'內地化'、甚至變'一國兩制'為'一國一制'的說法，完全沒有根據。
The opinion that the Central Government will mainlandize Hong Kong or even turn one country two systems into one country one system is completely groundless
中央必定會堅定不移地貫徹下去。香港社會完全可以放心。
The Hong Kong community can completely rest assured that the Central Government remain firmly committed to upholding this principle
" 從上述張委員長的發言可見，中央政府認為"一國兩制"的實施是不會改變、不應該改變和沒有必要改變的。
End of quote As seen from Chairman ZHANGs remarks the Central Government is of the view that the implementation of one country two systems would not should not and need not be changed
事實上，在國家的大力支持下，香港一直擁有"一國"和"兩制"的雙重優勢，不僅在內地拓展了經濟發展的廣闊腹地，也鞏固和提升了香港在國際舞台上的重要角色。
In fact under the staunch support of the Country Hong Kong has been enjoying the dual advantages of one country and two systems . We have not only opened up the vast Mainland market as our economic hinterland but also consolidated and enhanced our important role in the international platform
例如在國家"十二五"規劃及"十三五"規劃特別為香港加入《港澳專章》，確立香港在國家整體發展中的重要功能定位，鞏固和提升香港作為國際金融、航運、貿易三大中心地位；國家在"一帶一路"建設的戰略中，讓香港藉着國際金融中心、全球離岸人民幣業務樞紐地位和國際資產管理中心的功能，作為內地企業"走出去"的重要融資平台和海外資產管理中心，令香港成為國家最開放的國際城市。
For example a chapter was dedicated to Hong Kong and Macao in the National 12 and 13 Five - Year Plans acknowledging the significant functions and positioning of Hong Kong in the overall development of the Country and consolidating and enhancing Hong Kongs status as international financial transportation and trade centres . Under the strategic Belt and Road Initiative support is given by the Country for Hong Kong to leverage on its strengths as an international financial centre a global offshore Renminbi business hub and an international asset management centre to serve as an important financing platform and overseas asset management centre for Mainland enterprises to go global thus empowering Hong Kong as the most open international city of China
此外，"內地與香港關於建立更緊密經貿關係的安排"、"滬港通"、"深港通"，以及各項大型跨境基建等，都足以看見國家對香港實行資本主義的大力支持。
Moreover the Mainland and Hong Kong Closer Economic Partnership Arrangement CEPA Shanghai - Hong Kong Stock Connect Shenzhen - Hong Kong Stock Connect as well as the various major cross - boundary infrastructural projects also show the staunch support of the Country to Hong Kong in running a capitalist system
因此，社會沒有必要就2047年後"一國兩制"的繼續實施作任何無謂揣測。
It is therefore unnecessary for the community to speculate about the continued implementation of one country two systems after 2047
至於質詢中提及"公投"制度，我們須清楚知道，香港特別行政區是中華人民共和國的一個地方行政區域。
Regarding a system of referendum mentioned in the question we need to have a clear understanding that the HKSAR is a local administrative region of the Peoples Republic of China
《中華人民共和國憲法》第三十一條訂明："國家在必要時得設立特別行政區。
As stipulated in Article 31 of the Constitution of the Peoples Republic of China [t]he State may establish special administrative regions when necessary
在特別行政區內實行的制度按照具體情況由全國人民代表大會以法律規定"。
The systems to be instituted in special administrative regions shall be prescribed by law enacted by the National Peoples Congress in the light of specific conditions
《中華人民共和國憲法》第六十二條亦訂明全國人民代表大會行使的職權，包括第項："決定特別行政區的設立及其制度"。
Article 62 of the Constitution of the Peoples Republic of China also stipulates the functions and powers exercised by the NPC including sub - paragraph 13 which reads [t]o decide on the establishment of special administrative regions and the systems to be instituted there
由於《基本法》並沒有規定公投制度，因此在憲制層面上，香港特別行政區不會亦不可能有任何形式的公投。
As there is no provision for a system of referendum in the Basic Law at the constitutional level the HKSAR will not and cannot hold any form of referendum
不過，正如張委員長所述："在尊重'一國兩制'和《基本法》的原則下，只要為了香港好，我們願意廣泛聽取各方面的意見和建議，以用各種方式開展交流。
However as stated by Chairman ZHANG and I quote [o]n the basis of respect for one country two systems and the Basic Law and for the good of Hong Kong we are willing to listen extensively to the views and suggestions of all sectors in Hong Kong and conduct all forms of exchange
"特區政府也同樣會聆聽社會的聲音。
End of quote The HKSAR Government will also listen to the views of the community
只要大家繼續尊重並遵守《基本法》的規定，對"一國兩制"的實行保持信心，我們相信香港必定能夠保持繁榮穩定，"一國兩制"亦是對香港最好的安排。
As long as we continue to respect and abide by the provisions of the Basic Law and have faith in the implementation of one country two systems we believe that Hong Kong will certainly be able to maintain prosperity and stability and one country two systems is the best arrangement for Hong Kong
主席，多謝羅冠聰議員的補充質詢。
President I thank Mr Nathan LAW for his supplementary question
首先，我想補充或重申，我剛才已經詳細引述了張委員長就"一國兩制"和《基本法》落實的一個說法。
First of all I would like to add or reiterate that I have just quoted in detail the remark given by Chairman ZHANG regarding one country two systems and the implementation of the Basic Law
我想指出，這並非張委員長的個人意見，而是他代表中央就特區整體基本方針政策貫徹落實的說法。
I would like to point out that such a remark was not the personal opinions of Chairman ZHANG but rather a remark that he made on behalf of the Central Authorities regarding the thorough implementation of Chinas overall basic policies regarding the HKSAR
其實，自我們在1980年代開始討論香港回歸的問題和草擬《基本法》以來，中央領導人已經就香港的基本方針政策有很清晰的闡述。
In fact since we had started the discussion on the issue of Hong Kongs return to the Motherland and the drafting of the Basic Law in the 1980s leaders of the Central Government have given a clear explanation on Chinas basic policies regarding Hong Kong
例如已故的 鄧小平先生在1980年代的一個國際會議上已經很清晰地指出，他說："實際上50年只是一個形象的講法，50年後也不會變。
For example the late Mr DENG Xiaoping pointed out clearly at an international conference in the 1980s As a matter of fact 50 years is only a vivid way of putting it and it will not change after 50 years
前50年是不能變，50年之後是不需要變。
For the first 50 years it cannot be changed and for the second there will be no need to change it
所以，這不是信口開河。
So this is not just idle talk
"所以，這種說法絕對不是一種簡單、輕率的說法，而是中央多年來對特區很堅實地貫徹"一國兩制"及《基本法》的一種說法。
End of quote Therefore such a remark is definitely not an easy or idle remark but rather a remark representing the Central Authorities determination to implement one country two systems and the Basic Law in the HKSAR for many years
第二，正如我剛才在主體答覆內也指出，國家對特區的基本方針政策已經在《基本法》內訂明，而《基本法》不會在2047年後便自動失效，而是會在2047年後繼續有效的，所以，這些基本方針政策亦會繼續得到法律上的保障。
Second as I have pointed out in the main reply just now Chinas basic policies regarding the HKSAR have been stipulated in the Basic Law while the Basic Law will not expire automatically after 2047 but will remain effective beyond 2047 . Therefore these basic policies will remain protected by law
第三，正如我剛才所說，"一國兩制"的實施和《基本法》的運作自回歸以來一直也非常良好，亦看不到實際上有任何須改變的地方。
Third as I have just mentioned the implementation of one country two systems and the operation of the Basic Law have all along been very well since Hong Kongs return to the Motherland and we did not see any practical need for changes
因此，自回歸以來，中央和特區政府一直也嚴格按照《基本法》的規定，落實"一國兩制"。
Therefore since Hong Kongs return to the Motherland the Central Authorities and the HKSAR Government have all along been implementing one country two systems in strict accordance with the stipulations of the Basic Law
主席，香港有部分人想分裂國家，甚至推行"港獨"，他們其中一種手法便是製造恐懼。
President some people in Hong Kong attempt to engage in acts of secession and even promote Hong Kong independence . One of their tactics is creating fear
他們曲解《基本法》，誤導香港市民，說"一國兩制"有50年大限，甚至說在2047年後便會變成"一國一制"，土地契約、土地使用、司法獨立也不能超越2047年，將來私有財產並沒有保障等。
They misinterpret the Basic Law and mislead the people of Hong Kong by saying that there is a time frame of 50 years for one country two systems and they even claim that one country two systems will become one country one system after 2047 and land leases land use and judicial independence cannot go beyond 2047 and there will be no protection for private properties in the future and so on
我想問政府，可否向大眾說清楚究竟在土地使用及司法制度上是否真的有2047年這個大限呢？
I would like to ask the Government if it will provide a clear explanation to the public on whether there is actually a time frame of 2047 for the use of land and the judicial system
如果沒有，政府未來有甚麼具體方法，用更權威的方式向社會發放正確信息，讓市民大眾理解呢？
If not what specific measures will be implemented by the Government in the future to convey the correct messages to society in a more authoritative manner to facilitate public understanding?
主席，就着葛珮帆議員的補充質詢，我想我剛才在主體答覆內已經很清楚地指出，"2047年大限"這種說法是完全沒有根據的，《基本法》在2047年後將會繼續有效地落實。
President with regard to the supplementary question raised by Dr Elizabeth QUAT I think I have pointed out rather clearly in the main reply earlier that the claim of a time frame of 2047 is completely groundless and the implementation of the Basic Law will remain effective after 2047
葛議員剛才提到一些個別政策的問題，例如土地契約等問題。
Dr QUAT has just mentioned some problems concerning specific policies such as the issue of land leases
其實我也留意到，發展局局長較早前也在立法會內回應議員就土地契約在2047年之後是否須續約而提出的質詢。
In fact I have also noticed that the Secretary for Development had attended a meeting in the Legislative Council earlier on and replied to questions raised by Members on whether it was necessary to renew land leases after 2047
整體而言，我們可以說，現時已經有一套行之有效，也有先例可援的政策和機制，以處理土地契約續約的問題，特區政府絕對有能力及經驗處理這方面的工作。
All in all we can say that we have an existing policy and mechanism which are effective and have precedents to go by in handling problems concerning renewal of land leases . It is certain that the HKSAR Government has the ability and experience to handle issues in this regard
主席，羅冠聰議員的質詢正好反映香港有很多人藉着2047年大造文章，提出在2047年後"公投自決"、"港獨"、"民族自決"等違反國際法、"一國兩制"及《基本法》的主張。
President Mr Nathan LAWs question precisely shows that many people in Hong Kong have used 2047 to kick up a fuss by advocating referendum on self - determination Hong Kong independence national self - determination and so on after 2047 which violate the international laws one country two systems and the Basic Law
其實，在2047年後並不存在主權可以討論的問題。
In fact there is no question of sovereignty being subject to discussion after 2047
剛才提到例如合約的問題，其實亦會得到保護。
Contracts for instance as mentioned earlier will actually be protected
我們可以討論的只是在2047年後是否繼續維持現有資本主義制度的問題，但並不存在甚麼"公投自決"。
All that is open to discussion is whether the existing capitalist system will be maintained after 2047 but there is no question of holding a referendum on self - determination or whatsoever
因此，主席，我想問副局長，鑒於現時有那麼多人利用2047年，特別是以"自決"來提倡"港獨"的主張，在政府的立場，有否一些特別的政策，以加強令年輕人不要受誤導？
Such being the case President I wish to ask the Under Secretary Given that so many people have taken advantage of 2047 particularly by using self - determination to advocate Hong Kong independence are there specific policies on the part of the Government to step up efforts to prevent young people from being misled?
大家似乎對"港獨"更清楚，它是用"公投自決"來掩飾和推廣"港獨"，以誤導年輕人的思想，當局會否加強本港的中學教育，以正視這個問題？
We seem to know all the more clearly what Hong Kong independence is all about and they are using referendum on self - determination to disguise and promote Hong Kong independence in order to mislead the young people in their thinking . Will the authorities step up education in local secondary schools in order to address this problem squarely?
特區政府有否特別是關於推廣及教育《基本法》正確知識的政策？
Does the HKSAR Government have policies particularly relating to the promotion and teaching of the accurate knowledge of the Basic Law?
因此，並不存在特區可以單方面對自己的制度作任何決定。
Therefore there is no question of the HKSAR unilaterally making any decision on its systems
因此，我們絕對反對任何一切"港獨"、"自決"或其他論述，這是違背了我們特區與國家之間的憲制安排，我們也反對任何一切違反《基本法》和"一國兩制"這個安排的所有說法。
For this reason we absolutely oppose all advocacies on Hong Kong independence or self - determination or other propositions . These are violations of the constitutional arrangement between our SAR and the Country and we oppose all suggestions which go against the Basic Law and the arrangement of one country two systems
當然，梁議員亦提到，未來我們可如何繼續做好有關方面的教育和宣傳工作。
Surely Dr LEUNG also mentioned how we can continue to step up education and publicity efforts
我很認同我們須繼續努力，在社會內繼續做好《基本法》的宣傳推廣。
I very much agree that we have to make continuous efforts to publicize and promote the Basic Law in society on an ongoing basis
我們過往經常強調，我們很重視這方面的推廣和宣傳，所以，負責推廣《基本法》的委員會是由政務司司長領導的，這反映了政府是由很高層次的人來處理及跟進這方面的工作。
As we always stress we attach great importance to the promotion and publicity of the Basic Law and in this connection the committee responsible for promoting the Basic Law is chaired by Chief Secretary for Administration which reflects that this area of work is handled and followed up by high - level government officials
宣傳《基本法》除了是本局工作的一部分之外，亦牽涉很多不同政府部門和政策局，在相關層面、不同範疇和社會不同界別也做好《基本法》的宣傳工作。
The promotion of the Basic Law apart from being part of the duties of this Bureau also involves many different government departments and policy bureaux and their joint efforts to promote the Basic Law effectively at the respective levels in various aspects and among different sectors of the community
未來我們會繼續努力，如果議員在推廣《基本法》這方面有任何具體建議，很歡迎議員跟我們討論。
We will make continuous efforts in the future and if Members have any concrete proposal on the promotion of the Basic law they are very much welcome to discuss with us
如果可以有效地令市民和各界對《基本法》及"一國兩制"有更深入認識，我們是非常樂意採納和落實的。
We will be more than happy to take on board and implement proposals which can enable the public and various sectors of the community to have more in - depth understanding of the Basic Law and one country two systems
主席，副局長剛才回答我們說，在過去一段很長時間，當局也非常重視推廣《基本法》。
President in his reply earlier the Under Secretary told us that the authorities have over a long period of time attached great importance to the promotion of the Basic law
大家也知道，香港回歸祖國即將20年了，如果真是很成功和廣大市民也很清楚的話，便不會出現這麼多誤解和扭曲。
As we all know it will soon be 20 years since the reunification of Hong Kong with the Motherland and had the promotional work been really successful and the public understood it so well there would not have been so many misconceptions and distortions
我們須承認有很多人可能是刻意製造恐慌，也有一些別有用心的人刻意扭曲。
We must admit that many people may be creating panic deliberately and some people with ulterior motives may be creating distortions deliberately
