政府當局補充，知識產權交易各方一般都是對市場有所認識的商家，預計他們與知識產權擁有人訂立商業交易前，會進行調查及/或盡職審查。
The Administration added that parties to IP transactions are generally business players who have knowledge of the market and they can be expected to conduct investigation andor due diligence process before entering into commercial transactions with the owner of an IPR
他們亦可透過合約安排，以保障其權益。
They may also seek to protect their interest by contractual arrangements
重要的是，只對仲裁各方具有效力的仲裁裁決，並不影響第三者的權利。
Importantly arbitral awards which have inter partes effect do not affect the rights of third parties
此外，擬議的知識產權仲裁制度，亦屬競爭中立。該制度不會影響第三方的權利，或有關競爭事宜的香港法律下的法院或主管當局的權力。
The proposed IP arbitration regime is also competition neutral and does not affect the rights of third parties competition authorities or the courts under the competition laws of Hong Kong
鑒於仲裁協議及仲裁裁決須予以保密，法案委員會對《條例草案》是否足以保障競爭表示關注，並要求政府當局徵詢香港競爭事務委員會的意見。
The Bills Committee has raised concerns about the adequacy of the Bill in safeguarding competition in view of the confidentiality of the arbitration agreement and arbitral award and has requested the Administration to seek the views of the Hong Kong Competition Commission
政府當局認為《條例草案》不會在競爭法例方面，引起任何實質問題，亦不會影響香港競爭事務委員的調查及執法權力。
The Administration considers that the Bill will not give rise to any real competition law concerns; nor will it affect the investigative and enforcement powers of the Competition Commission
政府當局重申，仲裁是一種競爭中立的程序，使用仲裁、或仲裁及仲裁裁決的保密性質，本身並不反競爭，亦不會在《競爭條例》下引起 任何反競爭問題。
The Administration reiterates that arbitration is a competition - neutral procedure . The use of arbitration or the confidentiality of arbitration and arbitral awards is not in itself anti - competitive; nor does it in itself raise any issue of anti - competition under the Competition Ordinance Cap
無論如何，仲裁和競爭法例制度已有足夠保障，可處理在仲裁中產生的有關競爭的關注。
619 CO . In any event under the arbitration and competition law regimes there are sufficient safeguards to address competition concerns arising in the context of arbitration
政府當局又表示，假如法院認為仲裁裁決導致潛在的反競爭協議得以施行，有違《競爭條例》的規定，法院可基於公共政策的理由，撤銷有關裁決，或拒絕強制執行該裁決。
The Administration has further explained that if the Court finds that an arbitral award gives effect to an underlying anti - competitive agreement contrary to CO it may set aside the award or refuse to enforce it on the ground of public policy
此外，當局已請香港競爭事務委員會以書面提出意見，而該委員會亦同意政府的意見，認為《條例草案》及其對仲裁程序的影響屬競爭中立。
Besides the Administration has sought the written views of the Competition Commission and the Competition Commission shares the Governments view that the Bill and its implications for the arbitration process is competition neutral
政府當局又澄清，根據香港法律，知識產權擁有人一般可以自由向他人給予知識產權特許，而無須以相同條款向所有人給予特許，甚或無須給予特許。這情況與其他司法管轄區的知識產權法一致。
The Administration has further clarified that in line with the IP laws of other jurisdictions under Hong Kong law an IPR owner may generally license its IPR freely and is not obliged to license its IPR to all persons on the same terms or at all
當局強調，"公平競爭環境"雖要求維持公平市場競爭，但這個"公平競爭環境"一般並沒有把"坦誠責任"施加於知識產權擁有人，以致其必須向所有人以相同程度披露所有資料，亦不要求知識產權擁有人必須給予所有商業夥伴/特許持有人同等的對待。
It is stressed that while there should be a level playing field in that market competition should be fair this level playing field does not generally impose a duty of candour on an IPR owner such that it must disclose all information to all persons to the same extent or require it to confer same treatment on all business partnerslicensees
法案委員會察悉，《條例草案》的立法原意之一，是提升香港作為亞太區主要國際法律及解決爭議服務中心，以及作為區內首屈一指的知識產權貿易中心的地位。
The Bills Committee notes that one of the legislative intents of the Bill is to enhance Hong Kongs status as a leading centre for international legal and dispute resolution services and a premier hub for IP trading in the Asia - Pacific Region
法案委員會曾關注到，以仲裁代替訴訟解決知識產權爭議，是否能減省開支和提高效率。
The Bills Committee is concerned about the amount of time and cost saved in using arbitration instead of litigation to resolve IPR disputes
政府當局解釋，根據世界知識產權組織2013年一項有關解決技術交易爭議的調查結果，透過法院聆訊解決爭議平均需時3至3年半，透過仲裁解決爭議平均需時稍稍多於1年。
The Administration has explained that according to the results of a survey conducted by the World Intellectual Property Organization in 2013 with regard to resolving disputes on technology transactions the average time spent in resolving the disputes by court proceedings was 3 to 3.5 years while that for resolving disputes by arbitration was on average about slightly more than one year
以法律費用而言，訴訟的平均費用為475,000美元至稍為高於850,000美元，而仲裁的費用，平均稍為高於400,000美元。
In terms of legal cost the average cost of litigation was US475,000 to slightly over
代理主席，我謹動議通過議程所印載，以我名義根據《公共巴士服務條例》提出的議案。
Deputy President I move that the motion under my name and proposed pursuant to the Public Bus Services Ordinance as printed on the Agenda be passed
行政長官會同行政會議於2017年3月28日向九龍巴士有限公司批出為期10年的新專營權。
The Chief Executive in Council granted a new 10 - year franchise to the Kowloon Motor Bus Company 1933 Limited KMB on 28 March 2017
新專營權於2017年7月1日起生效。
The new franchise will commence on 1 July 2017
自1992年起批出的所有巴士專營權已不受利潤管制計劃規限。我們因此根據一貫做法，建議立法會通過議程所載的議案，使利潤管制計劃不適用於九巴的新專營權。
In keeping with the established practice that all new bus franchises granted since 1992 are not subject to the Profit Control Scheme PCS we propose that the motion on the Agenda be passed to exclude the application of PCS to KMBs new franchise
就此，我感謝立法會為審議決議案而成立的小組委員會的工作，小組委員會已完成審議，對決議案並無異議。
In this regard I would like to thank the Subcommittee formed by the Legislative Council for scrutinizing the motion . The Subcommittee completed its work and had no objection to the motion
按照目前《條例》第53b條，除非相關的條文得到立法會藉通過決議不予施行，否則《條例》下的利潤管制計劃便適用於專營權。
Under section 53b of the Ordinance a franchise shall be subject to PCS under the Ordinance unless the Legislative Council by resolution excludes the application of the related provisions
利潤管制計劃令專營巴士公司在釐定車費時既能收回成本，亦能賺取預設的指定利潤水平，變相令巴士票價與專營公司的利潤水平直接掛鈎，巴士票價因而須按預設的指定利潤水平相應調整。
Under PCS the bus fares of a franchised bus company are to be set at a level which allows cost recovery plus a predetermined level of profit . This in effect links the level of bus fares directly with the profit level of the franchise . Bus fares would accordingly have to be adjusted according to the predetermined level of profit
過去，前立法局及社會曾強烈批評，指出在利潤管制計劃下，不論專營巴士公司的表現優劣如何，仍保障其利潤水平，削弱了營辦商提升成本效益和減少開支的意欲，這變相鼓勵巴士公司過度擴張及提高資產價值。
In the past the then Legislative Council and the community had strongly criticized that PCS would guarantee the franchised bus companies a profit level irrespective of their performance thereby reducing the operators incentive to enhance cost - effectiveness and reduce expenditure . This in effect encouraged the franchised bus companies to over expand and inflate their asset values
有鑒於此，當時的行政局於1992年決定利潤管制計劃不適用於此後批出的巴士專營權。
In view of this the then Executive Council decided in 1992 that PCS would not be applicable to new bus franchises granted thereafter
自此，在每次批出新的專營權後，政府均會在前立法局及回歸後的立法會動議通過決議案，使利潤管制計劃不適用於該等新專營權，至今就其後批出的巴士專營權已通過22項這類決議案。
Since then the Government would after granting each new franchise move a resolution in the then Legislative Council and the current Legislative Council upon our return to China to exclude the application of PCS to the franchise . A total of 22 such resolutions have been passed in respect of franchises granted since then
政府同意應修訂此項再無現實需要的法例條文。
The Government concurs that legislative amendments should be made to these legal provisions which no longer serve any practical needs
待有合適機會時，例如需要對《條例》的其他條文作出修訂，政府會考慮一併處理。
The Government will consider doing so altogether as and when an opportune opportunity arises such as when amendments are also required to other provisions of the Ordinance
在此之前，政府會繼續以決議案的途徑，以達致令利潤管制計劃不適用於新專營權的目的。
In the meantime the Government will continue the practice of moving a resolution to achieve the purpose of disapplication of PCS to a new franchise
政府早前向立法會交通事務委員會交代新專營權的商議進展時，亦已表明若九巴獲批新專營權，將會提請立法會藉決議使利潤管制計劃不適用於該新專營權。
When briefing the Legislative Council Panel on Transport on the progress of discussion on the new franchise with KMB some time ago we stated clearly that should KMB be granted a new franchise the Government would move a resolution in the Legislative Council to disapply PCS to the new franchise
代理主席，我動議通過議案，使《條例》第27、28、29和31條不適用於九巴的新專營權，令該專營權不受利潤管制計劃規限。
Deputy President I move that the motion to disapply sections 27 28 29 and 31 of the Ordinance to the new franchise of KMB be passed so as to exclude the application of PCS to that franchise
主席，正如你和代理主席早前皆提及，今天這項議案辯論的主題是將現行《公共巴士服務條例》內仍然存在有關"利潤管制計劃"的條文，不適用於新專營權。
President as you and the Deputy President said earlier on the theme of the motion debate today is about the disapplication of the existing provisions on the Profit Control Scheme PCS in the Public Bus Services Ordinance to the new franchise
相關的小組委員會主席莫乃光議員剛才亦指出，今天的議案純粹是一項技術性的議案。
As Mr Charles Peter MOK the Chairman of the relevant Subcommittee also pointed out earlier the motion today is purely technical
當然，任何這些議案的討論都會出現有議員希望藉此機會發表意見，借題發揮，但我覺得今天議員所涵蓋的範圍實在非常廣泛，我難以在這場合的這次總結發言內一一回應。
Of course we can invariably see in any such motion discussions that certain Members may wish to take the opportunity to also talk about their views on certain issues which may not be quite so relevant . But I think Members speeches today honestly covered a very wide range of issues so wide that I can hardly give a reply on all of their views in this concluding speech on this occasion
梁國雄議員剛才質疑為何不保留計劃，從而催化一些更大的改變。
Just now Mr LEUNG Kwok - hung questioned why PCS should not be retained as a means of fostering greater changes
我希望社會非常小心，亦希望議會非常小心。
I hope the community and also the legislature can exercise great caution
究竟我們有沒有想過詳細情況呢？
Has he thought about the situation in detail?
是不是今天我們反對這項"計劃不適用於新專營權"的議案，明天服務就會立刻改變呢？
Does he think that if Members oppose this motion on excluding the application of PCS from the new franchise today the relevant services can be immediately improved tomorrow?
有關安排存在了四分之一個世紀，是由1992年開始。
The arrangement concerned has existed for a quarter of a century since 1992
當時，基於強烈的民意和當時立法局的意見，政府表示儘管《條例》載有關乎計劃的條文，鑒於計劃已經變質，變成保障巴士公司利潤的手段，因此計劃不再適用於專營權。
At that time owing to strong public opinions and the views of the then Legislative Council the Government indicated that despite the PCS - related provisions in the Ordinance PCS should no longer be applied to a franchise as morbid changes in PCS had turned it into a means of guaranteeing profits for bus companies
是不是現時我們未經思考，完全沒有構思一旦繼續維持計劃，因而要訂出計 劃的詳情，這樣便可以樂觀地說句一切美好呢？
Can we say optimistically that everything will change for the better if we now hasten to formulate details on PCS without giving any consideration or thoughts whatsoever to the consequences of its retention?
當然，我相信梁議員的意思不是這樣，可能他希望刺激議會和社會多思考問題。
Certainly I do not think Mr LEUNG meant anything like this . Perhaps he wanted to stimulate more thinking in the legislature and the community
就脫班問題，如果我們看看運輸署就專營權所作的一些評估和數字，便會看到九巴的整體脫班率由2011年高峰期的8%逐步下降至去年的1.5%，是不斷改善的。
Speaking of lost trips if we look at certain evaluations and statistics compiled by the Transport Department TD concerning KMBs franchise we will notice a gradual decline in KMBs overall lost trip rate from 8 % at its peak in 2011 to 1.5 % last year and an ongoing amelioration in the problem
脫班的問題基於眾多原因，當然可能包括管理不善，亦有可能是剛才有議員提到的是司機的問題，甚或是我們聽得較多，是由於道路交通情況所致。
The lost trip problem is caused by many factors . Certainly it may be ascribed to unsatisfactory management bus captains problems as mentioned by certain Members just now or even road traffic conditions as we have heard more often
有議員表示應該解決擠塞問題，但當政府提出方案以解決擠塞問題時，亦有議員表示解決不了泊車位的問題就不要解決擠塞問題。
Some Members asserted that the Government should resolve traffic congestion . But when the Government puts forth any proposals in a bid to resolve traffic congestion some Members will instead say that the Government should not try to resolve traffic congestion if it cannot resolve the parking space problem
自1999年第三次整體運輸研究開始，政府的運輸政策是以"公共交通為本，鐵路為公共交通骨幹"，而並非鐵路獨大，並非一鐵獨大。
Since 1999 when the Third Comprehensive Transport Study was completed the Governments transport policy has been public transport - oriented with railways as the backbone of public transport rather than emphasizing the predominance of railways or even the predominance of one railway corporation
議員剛才提及我們剛於上星期發表的《公共交通策略研究報告》。
Earlier on Members talked about the Public Transport Strategy Study Report the Report published by the Government just last week
其實，我們會在本星期五的交通事務委員會會議上討論《報告》，所以，主席，我不打算在此詳談。
Actually we will discuss the Report at the meeting of the Panel on Transport the Panel this Friday so President I do not intend to go into the details here
不過，《報告》提供了一些簡單數字，指出即使到了2031年，鐵路所佔的份額其實只是公共交通的四成左右，專營巴士則仍然是三成，而其他各類公共交通工具所佔的比例與現時的大致相若，因此基本上不存在巴士無法經營的情況。
But the Report offers some simple figures and points out that even by 2031 the share of railways in public transport will merely stand at around 40 % and the share of franchised buses will remain at 30 % . The rates of other modes of public transport will remain more or less the same as their present proportions . For these reasons the assertion that bus companies will be unable to operate is basically out of the question
當然，巴士要面對競爭，不止來自鐵路的競爭，同時還要面對來自小巴等其他交通工具的競爭。
Certainly buses have to face competition not only from railways but also from other modes of transport such as minibuses
我們亦不可以在鐵路開通後，即使沒有人乘搭巴士或巴士的乘客量很低，而仍然要求巴士維持服務，因為成本最終會轉嫁到一般乘客的票價上。
We cannot ask the bus company to maintain its services all the same despite zero or very low patronage after the commissioning of new railways . The reason is that the costs will be transferred to the fares borne by general passengers in the end
劉國勳議員剛才提到運輸及房屋局阻撓九巴推出月票計劃，我希望以正視聽。
Earlier on Mr LAU Kwok - fan dismissed the Transport and Housing Bureau as a hindrance to KMBs introduction of monthly pass schemes . I wish to correct his misconceptions
我不知道劉議員受到九巴多少影響。
I do not know how much influence has been exerted by KMB on Mr LAU
政府對月票問題一直持非常積極的態度，政府在2013年要求香港鐵路有限公司推出更多"全月通"計劃，因為我們覺得對居於偏遠地區的長途乘客而言，某種的月票形式是重要的。
The Governments attitude towards the issue of monthly pass schemes has been very proactive all along . In 2013 the Government asked the MTR Corporation Limited MTRCL to introduce more Monthly Pass schemes because we thought that monthly pass schemes in certain forms were important to long - haul passengers living in remote areas
我們認為，上述3項條件是合理的，我們會予以支持。
In our view the three criteria mentioned are reasonable and we will render it our support if they are fulfilled
所以，我希望劉國勳議員不要想當然認為政府或運輸署阻撓巴士公司引進月票計劃。
Hence I hope Mr LAU Kwok - fan can cease thinking as a matter of course that the Government or TD has hindered the introduction of any monthly pass schemes by the bus company
如果巴士公司隨便引進一項實際上不能惠及乘客或不可行的月票制度，我相信運輸署署長作為監管者亦不應該隨便接受。
If the bus company casually introduces a monthly pass scheme which is actually unable to benefit passengers or infeasible I do not think the Commissioner for Transport as the regulatory authority should accept it casually
議員今天提出了很多關於巴士服務和公共交通的問題。
Members have brought up many issues relating to bus services and public transport today
我在此主要想回應兩點：第一，是實時資訊的問題，這連繫到開放大數據的問題。
At this juncture I mainly wish to give a reply on two points . The first point concerns real time information and it is related to the opening up of Big Data
如果將香港與其他大城市比較市民皆曾前往旅遊或公幹的大城市有些地方我們的確落後於人，我們政府是承認的。
A comparison between Hong Kong and other major cities―major cities where people have visited during leisure or business trips―will show that we honestly lag behind others in some areas . We in the Government admit this
香港的公共交通制度難以跟其他城市相提並論，因為在很多其他城市裏，基本上是由政府營運公共交通的。因此，資訊實際上由擁有者掌握，由政府決定如何處理。在很多其他城市裏，政府對公共交通的補貼是很嚴重的，包括一些內地城市。
One can hardly draw a direct comparison between the public transport system in Hong Kong and the systems in other cities because the public transport systems in
我想問政府，既然提到有足夠的權力採取行動，亦可以向法庭申請封閉令，而過去一年又對9個燒烤場提出了72宗檢控，究竟要在甚麼情況下才會向法庭申請封閉令呢？
May I ask the Government given the mention that it is vested with adequate power to take action and it may also apply to the Court for a closure order and 72 prosecutions were instituted against nine barbecue sites in the past year actually under what circumstances it will apply to the Court for a closure order?
這完全視乎每宗違規事件的 情況有多嚴重，以及事件涉及的食肆或燒烤場地的往績為何。
This entirely depends on the gravity of the irregularity in each case and the track record of the food establishment or barbecue site involved in the case
我認為應嚴厲打擊無牌燒烤場及這些無牌經營的食物業。
In my view the Government should rigorously combat unlicensed barbecue sites and food businesses operating without a licence
根據《食物業規例》，最高刑罰是罰款5萬元或監禁6個月。
According to the Food Business Regulation the maximum penalty is a fine of 50,000 or imprisonment of six months
我想知道過往曾否有人被判處監禁？
May I know whether anyone was sentenced to imprisonment in the past?
剛才何議員也問及封閉令的做法，我想問局長，過往曾否發出封閉令，以及食環署會根據甚麼程序決定申請封閉令？
Just now Mr HO also asked about the practice of applying for a closure order . May I ask the Secretary whether any closure order was issued in the past and according to what procedure FEHD will decide to apply for a closure order?
是否要累積某一次數的定罪紀錄才會申請封閉令呢？
Will it apply for a closure order only after the number of convictions has reached a certain figure?
至於何時才會封閉有關處所，正如我剛才解釋，我相信每宗個案須視乎其嚴重程度。
As regards when the premises in question will be closed as I explained just now I believe it depends on the gravity of each case
如果過去數年的個案的情況未達到嚴重的程度，自然不會出現處所被封閉的情況。
If the circumstances in the cases in the past few years were not serious certainly there would not be any closure of premises
主席，我必須重申，如果根據個別違規或犯法的行為和情況，令我們的部門認為有需要採取一些相應的罰則，我們必定毫不猶豫地去做。
President I must reiterate that if in light of individual irregularities or illegalities our department considers it necessary to impose corresponding penalties we will definitely do so without hesitation
主席，根據局長剛才所說，過去遭檢控的個案的罰款為千多元、數千元或萬多元，基本上完全沒有阻嚇作用。
President as stated by the Secretary just now the amounts of fines imposed in the past prosecutions were 1,000 - odd several thousand dollars or 10,000 - odd . Basically there was no deterrent effect at all
為處理這問題，我想問政府，會否組成一個聯合專責小組，專門處理這類經常被投訴的燒烤場？
To address this problem may I ask the Government if it will set up a joint task force dedicated to dealing with this type of barbecue sites which are frequently under complaint?
專責小組可由食環署、地政總署等人員組成，並採取合適及果斷的措施。
The task force can be formed by officers of FEHD the Lands Department LandsD etc . and responsible for taking appropriate and decisive measures
請問會否有部門牽頭呢？
Will any department take the lead to do so?
主席，我的答覆是要視乎情況，即如果個別的違規情況達到嚴重程度，我們的部門便會判斷究竟應採用專責小組的方式、聯合的方式，還是由個別部門執法的方式處理。
President my reply is that it depends on the circumstances . If the irregularity in any individual case is serious our department will determine whether it should be handled by forming a task force conducting a joint operation or enforcement by individual departments
上水和九華徑的燒烤場其實不是一年半載的事，而是五六年來一直發生，而政府部門無法執法，或正如高局長剛才所說般因應情況處理。
The matter of the barbecue sites at Sheung Shui and Kau Wa Keng is not something which just happened six months or a year ago . Rather it has persisted for five to six years . The government departments have failed to take enforcement actions or as stated by Secretary Dr KO just now it will be handled in light of the circumstances
主席，首先，我要向何議員指出，如果我沒有記錯，我在主體答覆中也提到一些例子，除了票控之外，也有拘控的情況。
President first of all I have to point out to Mr HO that if my memory is correct I have cited some examples in the main reply . Apart from serving summonses there were arrests too
至於大家強烈反映一些個別情況，對當區居民造成長期的困擾，我肯定會與部門再檢視這些情況，看看有否需要加強執法行動。
As regards some individual cases which as keenly relayed by Members have caused nuisances to the local residents for a long period I will certainly review these cases with the department and see if it is necessary to step up enforcement actions
除食環署外，為何其他政府部門沒有行動呢？
Apart from FEHD why did the other government departments refrain from taking any action?
消防處有否發出告票呢？
Did the Fire Services Department FSD issue any penalty ticket?
我現在看到的問題是，對於某些商業行為，當局非常嚴格執法，但對於這些明顯牽涉消防安全問題的活動，究竟有否執法呢？
The problem I have now observed is that the authorities have taken enforcement actions very strictly against certain commercial activities but did they take any enforcement actions against these activities which obviously involve fire safety issues?
主席，我剛才在主體答覆中已經提及，議員特別指出的消防處是有執法的。
President as I mentioned in the main reply just now FSD particularly referred to by the Honourable Member has taken enforcement actions
剛才在回應何議員另一部分的質詢時，我曾提供有關違法和執法的數字，亦指出食環署的執法數字，以及環境保護署收到多少宗有關污染的投訴。
Just now when I responded to another part of Mr HOs question I provided figures relating to illegalities and enforcement . I also highlighted the figures on enforcement by FEHD and the number of complaints about pollution received by EPD
同時，我亦指出其他相關部門並沒有就涉及戶外燒烤場投訴個案的執法備存統計數字。
At the same time I also pointed out that the other relevant departments did not keep statistics on enforcement relating to complaints against outdoor barbecue sites
所以，這並非反映消防處沒有執法，消防處應該是有執法的，只不過個別部門未必會特別就戶外燒烤場的投訴個案作出分類而已。
Hence it does not mean that FSD did not take any enforcement action . FSD has taken enforcement actions . It is only that individual departments may not especially create a category for complaints about outdoor barbecue sites
主席，我再說一次，他們沒有這項分類數字。
President let me say it again . They do not have such a breakdown
"一帶一路"專員主要協助行政長官透過督導委員會和辦公室聯繫政府各政策局/部門及社會各界，把握香港在"一帶一路"倡議下的新發展機遇，同時向行政長官和督導委員會就制訂和執行"一帶一路"相關策略提供建議和意見。
President having consulted the Belt and Road Office BRO my reply to the question raised by Mr Jimmy NG is as follows 1 The Steering Committee for the Belt and Road chaired by the Chief Executive and comprising the Chief Secretary for Administration the Financial Secretary the Secretary of Justice the relevant directors of bureaux and the Commissioner for Belt and Road CBR is responsible mainly for formulating strategies and policies for Hong Kongs participation in the Belt and Road Initiative
主席，我在主體答覆中提到現時已有很多支援，包括財政措施等，是沒有地域限制的。
President I have mentioned in my main reply that currently many support measures including financial measures have no regional restrictions
所以，在拓展"一帶一路"市場方面，我們相當歡迎業界利用有關基金來拓展業務。
Therefore as regards developing Belt and Road markets the industries are welcome to make use of relevant funds for business development
而就着稅務支援的建議，政府必須小心考慮有關建議是否符合香港現行稅制，特別是地域來源徵稅和稅務對稱等基本原則，以及會否容易出現避稅漏洞等重要因素。
And concerning the proposal of taxation support the Government must give careful consideration to important factors such as whether the proposal conforms to the existing tax regime in Hong Kong especially fundamental principles like territorial source and tax symmetry as well as whether tax avoidance loopholes will easily emerge
我相信政府會考慮這方面的發展需要，推出一些可以配合業界發展"一帶一路"市場的措施。
I believe the Government will take into account the development needs in this respect and introduce some measures that dovetail with the industries efforts in the development of Belt and Road markets
主席，香港在昨天正式成為亞洲基礎建設投資銀行成員，辦公室立即表示作為亞投行成員，香港可以為亞投行提供各種投融資服務，進一步鞏固其國際金融中心地位。
President yesterday Hong Kong officially became a member of the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank AIIB . BRO immediately stated that as a member of AIIB Hong Kong can provide AIIB with various types of investment and financing services further consolidating its status as an international financial centre
市場亦預計在未來5年，"一帶一路"沿線國家的基建潛在需求超過4萬億美元。
The market also predicts that in the next five years the potential demands for infrastructure in the countries along the Belt and Road amount to over US4,000 billion
就此，政府可否告訴我，現時"一帶一路"沿線有不少發展中國家，而這些國家除了擁有巨大商機外，亦存在一定風險。請問政府會如何協助香港金融相關業界，在參與這些業務的同時防範風險，以及這些措施的具體落實工作是會交由辦公室抑或政策局負責呢？
In this regard can the Government tell me as there are a number of developing countries along the Belt and Road which present immense business opportunities as well as considerable risks how the Government will help the commerce - related sectors in Hong Kong engage in these businesses while avoiding risks and whether the implementation of these measures will be taken charge of by BRO or Policy Bureaux?
主席，我相當認同議員的意見，因為香港是亞洲領先的企業財資中心，也擁有相當完善的金融基建。所以，對於"一帶一路"倡議，特別是其融資方面的發展，香港是可以發揮到功效的。
President I very much agree with the Honourable Members views . As Hong Kong is a leading corporate treasury centre in Asia with very comprehensive financial infrastructure we can play an effective role in the Belt and Road Initiative especially in the development of financing
