相對於一般大律師，資深大律師除了名銜聽似"威"一點、"勁"一些，以及在出庭時的衣着較特別外，其實對於一般市民來說，最重要的分別是資深大律師的收費較昂貴，有時更會昂貴很多、很多。
When compared with Junior Counsel SC carry a title that sounds more prestigious and powerful and appear at court in more distinctive attire . Apart from that to the general public the major difference is that the fees of SC are more expensive and sometimes much much more expensive
然而，對於主要在律政司內任職的政府律政人員，不論他們入職前本身是律師還是大律師，在入職後的職責、分工也不會再分為兩種專業。
That said for government legal officers who mainly work in the Department of Justice DoJ regardless of whether they were solicitors or barristers prior to their employment they are no longer categorized into two professions in terms of duties and division of work upon employment
律師出身的律政人員或許長期代表政府出庭打官司，但由於他 們並不擁有大律師資格，即使擁有豐富的訟辯經驗、知識和聲望，根據現行法例，亦不合資格獲考慮委任為資深大律師，造成不公。
Legal officers who started out as solicitors may have constantly represented the Government in litigation before the courts but since they are not qualified as barristers they are not eligible for consideration for appointment as SC under the existing legislation despite their substantial advocacy experience knowledge and standing resulting in unfairness
今天恢復二讀的《2021年法律執業者條例草案》，目的正是要消除這種不公平的現象，容許不具備大律師資格的律政人員，在符合同等的法定條件和要求下，享有同等機會獲委任為資深大律師。
The Legal Practitioners Amendment Bill 2021 the Bill the Second Reading of which resumes today precisely seeks to eradicate this unfairness by allowing legal officers who are not qualified as barristers to have the same opportunity to be appointed as SC subject to the same statutory conditions and requirements
很多人也相信，今次修例除了基於公平原則，亦是為了幫助律政司挽留人才，避免一些資深律政人員為取得資深大律師的名銜而離開政府。
Many people believe that the legislative amendments this time around are not only based on the principle of fairness but also aim at helping DoJ retain talents by preventing some senior legal officers from leaving the Government for the SC title
對於以上原則，我是支持的；不過，我與多位議員在審議法案時均質疑，為何《條例草案》要訂明一旦有關律政人員離開政府，他們的資深大律師名銜便要取消。
I support the above principle . However during the scrutiny of the Bill many Members and I queried why the Bill stipulated that the SC title of legal officers shall be revoked once they leave the Government
既然他們已獲終審法院首席法官確認擁有擔任資深大律師所需要的資歷、知識和聲望，為何他們一旦離開政府便要被取消有關名銜，就像這些資歷、知識和資格突然全沒了呢？
Since the Chief Justice of the Court of Final Appeal is satisfied that they have the qualifications knowledge and standing required of SC why shall their title be taken away once they leave the Government as if all these qualifications knowledge and credentials are suddenly gone?
當局解釋，政府無意透過今次修例改變私人執業市場上律師與大律師的劃分，同時為避免引起市民混淆，不容許已轉為私人執業事務律師的前律政人員繼續保留資深大律師的名銜。
The authorities explained that as the Government did not intend to alter the demarcation between solicitors and barristers in the private practice market through this legislative amendment exercise and for the avoidance of public confusion former legal officers who had switched to private practice as solicitors were not allowed to retain the SC title
但是，我估計另一個原因在於今次修例的原意是幫助律政司挽留人才，如果容許律政人員離職後保留資深大律師的名銜，便會失去這個作用，但政府一直也不肯承認這一點。
Nevertheless I guess another reason is that the original intent of this legislative amendment exercise to help DoJ retain talents . Should legal officers be allowed to retain the SC title after their departure this purpose cannot be served . Still the Government has refused to admit this
在審議法案期間，有多位本身來自法律界的議員均要求政府檢視現行的法律專業制度，包括律師與大律師的劃分、兩者的專業及操守水平的監管，以及有關兩個法律專業團體即香港律師會及香港大律師公會日趨政治化的問題。
During the scrutiny of the Bill a number of Members from the legal sector requested the Government to review the existing regime of the legal profession including the demarcation between solicitors and barristers the monitoring of the professional standards and conduct of both branches and the increasing politicization of the two legal professional bodies namely The Law Society of Hong Kong and the Hong Kong Bar Association HKBA
律師會剛於昨晚進行改選。
The Law Society re - election just took place last night
特首已說了，如果將來律師會由一個專業團體演變成一個政治團體，政府不排除會像對待香港教育專業人員協會般，終止與律師會的工作關係。
The Chief Executive has already said that if the Law Society morphs from a professional body into a political body in the future the Government does not rule out the possibility of ceasing its working relations with the Law Society just like what it has done with the Hong Kong Professional Teachers Union
對於大律師公會，不少人也覺得，他們好像很久前已變成一個政治團體，但至今不見政府有採取任何行動。
As for HKBA many people have an impression that it has turned into a political body long ago and yet the Government has not taken any action so far
代理主席，作為一位專業人員及專業界別的立法會代表，我一向支持及尊重專業自主的原則，但專業自主和自我監管不等於"冇皇管"。
Deputy President as a professional and a representative of a professional constituency in the Legislative Council I support and respect the principle of professional autonomy but professional autonomy and self - regulation do not mean no regulation
如果有專業團體偏離專業原則，變成政治團體，甚至變成鼓吹違法暴力、反中亂港的組織，或者如果有專業團體明顯處事不公、有法 不依、搞小圈子，公然縱容、包庇業內的害群之馬，或打壓一些持不同意見和立場的守法會員，政府便有需要跟進和介入，而不應把專業自主當成不作為的藉口。
If a professional body deviate from professional principles and turn into a political body or even an organization that advocates unlawful violence opposes the Central Authorities and causes disturbance to the law and order of Hong Kong or if a professional body obviously handles matters unfairly fails to act in accordance with the law forms small circles blatantly connives at or harbours the black sheep in the sector or suppresses some law - abiding members who have different views and stances the Government has to take follow - up action and step in instead of using professional autonomy as an excuse for its inaction
日前，我剛申請了在立法會提出質詢，指出由2014年的違法佔中以至最近兩年的"黑暴"事件，有不少專業人士包括社工、醫生、護士、律師、大律師，甚至是資深大律師因為參與違法活動而被定罪，部分人更要被判監，但鮮有聽聞相關專業團體有對這些違法的專業人士採取紀律行動，例如作出譴責，以至吊銷他們的專業註冊和執業資格。
The other day I gave notice of a question to be asked in the Council which points out that from the unlawful Occupy Central in 2014 to the black - clad violence incidents over the past two years a lot of professionals―including social workers doctors nurses solicitors barristers and even SC―were convicted of participating in unlawful activities and some of them were even sentenced to imprisonment . However rarely have we heard that the related professional bodies have taken any disciplinary action against these law - breaking professionals such as making reprimands or revoking their professional registration or practising licenses
相反，大家也會記得，早幾年，有一位建制派的大律師因為在公開場合說過一句粗口，就被大律師公會裁定他令公會聲譽受損，罰他停牌一個月。
By contrast Members may recall that a few years ago HKBA ruled that a pro - establishment barrister had brought HKBA into disrepute and suspended him from practice for one month just because he had made a foul statement on a public occasion
但是，對於早前多位被定罪及判監的"攬炒派"大律師和資深大律師，卻好像不見有同等的行動。
But for the several barristers and SC from the mutual destruction camp who were convicted and sentenced to imprisonment earlier it seems that similar actions have not been taken
我和很多市民也想知道原因，亦想知道政府有否做過任何行動跟進，還是任由這些不公平、不公道、有損香港專業界聲譽的事件繼續出現呢？
Many members of the public and I want to know the reason and wonder if the Government has ever taken any follow - up action or simply allows these unfair and unjust incidents that tarnish the reputation of Hong Kongs professional sectors to continue to happen
無論如何，今次修例始終有助減少現時法律界的不公平現象，因此我也是會支持的。
In any case I support this legislative amendment exercise as it can help ameliorate the unfairness exists in the legal sector after all
希望特區政府尤其是律政司能夠展現更擔當有為的態度，不要遇難避事，要切實全面地落實"愛國者治港"的原則，包括就有關國家安全事宜，加強對各個社會團體和專業團體的監督指導，以確保"一國兩制"實踐行穩致遠，香港特區可以長治久安。
I hope that the SAR Government―especially DoJ―will demonstrate a more accountable and proactive attitude refrain from evading difficulties as well as conscientiously and fully implement the principle of patriots administering Hong Kong including strengthening the supervision of and guidance for various social groups and professional bodies in relation to matters concerning national security so as to ensure the steadfast and successful implementation of one country two systems and the long - term stability and safety of HKSAR
在2013年，我與立法會環境事務委員會聯同政府出訪韓國，考察當地在環保和廢物管理的經驗，包括源頭減廢、資源回收及處理設施等方面，當年的韓國，在有關範疇已有長足的發展；反觀香港，即使今天的《條例草案》能夠三讀通過，仍然需要最少18個月之後才有機會全面實施。
In 2013 the Panel on Environmental Affairs of the Legislative Council and I visited Korea with the Government to study the countrys experience in environmental protection and waste management including waste reduction at source recycling treatment facilities and so on . At that time Korea had already made significant development in the relevant areas . On the contrary even if the Bill is read the Third time and passed in Hong Kong today it can only be fully implemented at least 18 months later
因此，香港在這方面實有必要急起直追。
Therefore it is necessary for Hong Kong to rouse itself to catch up in this regard
政府實有必要作出檢討，令資源得以善用，不會白費。
It is necessary for the Government to conduct a review so that resources can be put to good use and will not be wasted
翻看紀錄，《條例草案》早在2018年已提交立法會審議，經歷數年，其間政府似乎未有好好利用時間，為條例實施作好推行細節的準 備工作，令《條例草案》能在較快時間發揮最大的成效，因為大家都認同，減少廢物不能單靠增加收費，市民自發共同參與至為重要。
Having checked the records I realize that the Bill was presented to the Legislative Council as early as in 2018 . Several years have passed and it seems that the Government has not made good use of the time to make detailed preparation for the implementation of the Bill so that the Bill can achieve its maximum effect in a shorter time . We all agree that waste reduction cannot be accomplished by increasing the charges alone and it is most important for the public to participate on their own initiative
主席，據了解，現時每天棄置於堆填區的都市固體廢物中，有約三成是廚餘，故能夠好好處理這方面，對減少廢物運往堆填起着很重要的作用。
President it is understood that about 30 % of MSW disposed of at landfills every day is food waste so its proper handling is vital for reducing the amount of waste going to landfills
政府雖然已推出廚餘收集先導計劃，但仍有不少快餐店並沒有執行分類，而是把廚餘直接當作垃圾棄置處理，反映政府推出的計劃考慮尚欠周詳，未能令分類回收獲得持份者的積極參與。
Although the Government has launched the Pilot Scheme on Food Waste Collection many fast food establishments still have not implemented separation and dispose of food waste as garbage reflecting that the Governments scheme is not well thought out and has failed to solicit active participation from stakeholders in separation and recycling
另外，政府亦應加大力度支持循環再造產業的發展，促使轉廢為能、轉廢為材更廣泛地應用，不然，香港要在2050年前達至碳中和的目標，難以樂觀。
In addition the Government should also strengthen its support for the development of the recycling industry and promote the more extensive transformation of waste into energy and resources otherwise one can hardly be optimistic that Hong Kong will achieve carbon neutrality before 2050
多年來，政府一直採用"斬件式"的做法來處理垃圾問題，並未能夠做到多管齊下，包括教育市民加強環保意識及認同，改變生活習慣，做好源頭分類，減少製造廢物、廚餘；支援回收產業，甚至自行研發投入興建再生工廠，轉廢為材或為能等，令政府的政策和措施更具成效。
Over the years the Government has been adopting a piecemeal approach to deal with the waste problem but it has failed to taken multi - pronged measures including educating the public on enhancing their awareness and recognition of environmental protection changing their habits practising good source separation and reducing the generation of waste and food waste; supporting the recycling industry or even conducting in - house research and development and investing in the construction of recycling plants transforming waste into resources or energy and so on so as to make the Governments policies and measures more effective
單靠把固體廢物運往堆填區處理，不單污染環境，亦浪費寶貴的土地資源，難以獲得市民廣泛支持。
It is difficult to gain widespread public support by simply transporting solid waste to landfills for disposal as it not only pollutes the environment but also puts valuable land resources to waste
市民不明白的是，早於2014年，政府已聯同立法會不少議員前往英國、荷蘭、丹麥及瑞典進行考察以先進焚化爐處理廢物，大大減少送往堆填的垃圾數量，並能做到轉廢為能，減低對環境的影響。
What the public does not understand is that as early as in 2014 the Government together with many Members of the Legislative Council went to the United Kingdom the Netherlands Denmark and Sweden to study the use of advanced incinerators to treat waste which could greatly reduce the amount of waste sent to landfills transform waste into energy and reduce the impact on the environment
但是，考察後多年過去，仍未看到政府在這方面有長足的進展和跟進。
Though many years have passed since the study tour we still have not seen any significant progress and follow - up by the Government in this area
政府興建一個焚化爐，單是構思及選址，動輒花上10多年。
For the construction of an incinerator it easily takes the Government more than 10 years to conceive the project and identify a site
石鼓洲焚化爐由10多年前提出，至今仍要至少4年後才有機會落成啟用，估計每天可以處理約3,000公噸垃圾，佔整體都市固體廢物不足三分之一，實有需要興建更多焚化爐。
The Shek Kwu Chau incinerator was proposed more than 10 years ago and there are still at least four years to go before it is ready for operation . It is expected to handle about 3 000 tonnes of waste per day which accounts for less than one - third of the total amount of MSW and it is necessary to build more incinerators
但是，過去10多年，政府就第二 個焚化爐一直未見有定案，讓不少市民感覺到政府是否單靠擴展堆填區來處理都市固體廢物。
However over the past decade or so the Government has yet to make a final decision on the second incinerator leaving many people wondering whether the Government is relying solely on landfill expansion to deal with MSW
這種做法，我相信難以獲社會的支持和認同，希望政府能加把勁，做到一"爐"永逸，回收與焚化等多管齊下，令運往堆填的垃圾能大幅減少，減低對環境的影響，邁向"回收為主，焚化為輔，堆填為零"的目標。
I believe this approach is hardly supported and accepted by the community . I hope that the Government will step up its efforts to achieve the goal of solving the problem once and for all by way of incineration and adopt the multi - pronged strategy of recycling and incineration so as to significantly reduce the amount of waste sent to landfills and minimize the environmental impact thus enabling us to move towards the goal of recycling as the mainstay incineration as a supplement and zero landfill
今次《條例草案》獲通過，亦代表廢物處理方面的措施邁出新的一步，不過就減少和處理廢物方面的目標，仍有漫長的路要走，希望政府能夠快馬加鞭，否則要在2050年前達至碳中和，恐怕難以實現。
The passage of the Bill represents a new step forward in waste treatment but there is still a long way to go from the waste reduction and treatment targets . I hope that the Government can speed up the process otherwise it will be difficult to achieve carbon neutrality before 2050
希望政府能明白"慢進也是退"，從速做出惠民的成績，才能獲得市民的認同。
I hope that the Government will understand that to advance too slowly is to retreat and make achievements for the benefit of the public expeditiously . Only by doing so can it gain public recognition
主席，我發言支持《2018年廢物處置條例草案》恢復二讀。
President I speak in support of the resumption of the Second Reading of the Waste Disposal Amendment Bill 2018 the Bill
主席，我跟進了這項法例10年，由我開始擔任議員起，香港社會已經在討論應否推行廢物徵費，是否需要由政府出手，還是民間自行推動已能做到。
President I have been following up the legislation for 10 years . Since I first became a Member society of Hong Kong has been discussing whether waste charging should be implemented whether the Government should intervene and whether this can be carried out by the community itself
近年，我其實也聽到一些聲音，質疑本會的建制派議員在議會一直拖延處理廢物徵費，想"拖死"這項法例。
In recent years I have heard comments questioning whether Members from the pro - establishment camp are delaying the handling of waste charging in the legislature attempting to stall this legislation till it lapses
我認為這種說法對議會是相當不公道的，因為在議會中，我聽到很多同事，特別是我本人從一開始，早在10年前我已經支持廢物徵費，我從來沒有說過反對廢物徵費。
I think such comments are very unfair to the legislature because in the legislature I have heard many colleagues especially myself expressing support for waste charging from the very beginning as early as 10 years ago . Besides I have never said that I oppose waste charging
當然，現時很多內地省市都已推行廢物徵費，為何香港走得那麼慢，為何我們不參考別人那一套，把那一套放在香港便可以立即推行。
Many Mainland provinces and municipalities have already implemented waste charging but why is Hong Kong so slow in doing so? . Why do we not draw reference from the practice of others and adopt the same in Hong Kong for immediate implementation?
我認為不是的，讓我引用以往兩項與廢物徵費有關的法例作為例子，向大家說明為甚麼細節會決定成敗。
No I do not think so . Let me cite the example of two pieces of legislation relating to waste charging implemented in the past to illustrate why success or failure is in the details
當然，最近在局長嚴厲督促下，情況稍有改善。
Of course the situation has slightly improved recently under the Secretarys strict supervision
不過，如果我們當初沒有做好細節，就像現時推行廢物徵費時，一些家居垃圾也可能會被丟到滿街也是。
However if we fail to handle the details properly in the first place as in the present case of implementing waste charging domestic waste may also be dumped all over the streets
第二個例子，就是建築物廢料。
The second example is construction waste
我們同樣為此立法，訂明所有建築物廢料都應丟在指定地方並須收費。
We have also enacted legislation for this purpose stipulating that all construction waste should be disposed of at designated places and subject to charges
如果我們不訂好細節，"垃圾圍城"就是由特區政府提出這項法例引起。
If we do not work out the details properly a garbage siege will come into being with the introduction of this legislation by the SAR Government
為此，我們花了很多時間與局長討論，要求他做好配套，針對一些弱勢社群，他們確實無法購買垃圾袋裝妥垃圾，當局是否可以提供一些支援呢？
In this connection we have spent a lot of time discussing with the Secretary asking him to provide proper support and consider offering some kind of assistance to the disadvantaged groups who really cannot afford to buy designated bags for their garbage
不過，我想特別強調，政府必須提供一個適應期給香港市民。
Yet I would like to stress in particular that the Government must provide a preparatory period for the people of Hong Kong
儘管議會討論得那麼熱烈，媒體亦討論得很熱烈，但市民是未必知道的。
Despite the heated discussions in the legislature and the media the public may not be aware of this
正如在實施膠袋徵費時，一開始大家也像恍然大悟般。
As in the case of the implementation of the plastic shopping bag levy people had seemingly been caught unprepared at the beginning
因此，我一開始便告訴局長，需要訂一個適應期，而在適應期內必須讓市民習慣廢物徵費和分類，所以我提出開始時應要派發垃圾袋給全港市民，由"多"循序漸進地減至"零"，由市民自行購買。
For this reason I told the Secretary from the very beginning that a phasing - in period should be set during which the public are allowed to get used to waste charging and waste separation . As such I have proposed the distribution of designated garbage bags to all the people of Hong Kong at the beginning . The number of bags distributed should be reduced gradually from many to zero and then the public will have to buy the bags on their own
這是一個適應過程，讓大家也知道原來我現在棄置家居垃圾是要分類、要將垃圾放在指定的袋裏，讓大家熟識。
This is a process of adaptation giving time for people to familiarize themselves with the arrangement so that they know they have to do waste separation and use designated bags when they dispose of domestic waste
如果這些做得不好的話，"垃圾圍城"便是由市民、由環境局自己造成的。
If these are not handled properly a garbage siege will be brought about by the public and the Environment Bureau ENB
我剛才特別看到劉業強議員在席，他應該身同感受。
Just now I have noticed particularly that Mr Kenneth LAU is here . I think he should feel the same way
鄉郊有很多垃圾站，當局如何執行廢物徵費，如何使用指定垃圾袋呢？
There are many refuse collection points in the countryside how will the authorities enforce waste charging and the use of designated garbage bags?
這些問題是否已解決呢？
Have these problems been solved?
我不想挑剔這項法例，但我想指出這些實際上的操作困難，所以我們要花那麼多時間討論，與局長一起堵塞每個漏洞，這樣法例才能發揮效用。
I do not want to pick on this piece of legislation but I have to point out the practical difficulties in operation . For this reason we have spent a lot of time to discuss and work with the Secretary to plug each and every loophole for the legislation to serve its purpose effectively
主席，當然我們現在純粹是討論有關廢物徵費的一些工作，但背後的理念其實是希望香港市民減廢，我也看到局長現時在一些名為"綠在區區"，或名為"綠仔商鋪"的工作是做得很好的。
President certainly we are now purely discussing the work relating to waste charging yet the philosophy behind is actually the hope that Hong Kong people can reduce waste . Also I notice that the Secretary has done a good job in certain programmes namely the GREEN@COMMUNITY and green stores
現在已增加了很多回收途徑，讓香港市民減少一些廢物。
Now recycling channels have been increased significantly to enable the people of Hong Kong to reduce waste
我以往經常說，如果回收途徑、回收設備不足夠，當局便是強迫市民支付垃圾徵費。
As I always said in the past if there are not sufficient recycling channels and recycling facilities the authorities are forcing the public to pay the waste charges
雖然只有1毫子回贈，但可以看到市民因有這樣的設備，而他們亦支持環保，所以便去做。
Although the rebate offered is only 0.1 it is noted that the public will do so when facilities are available to show their support for environmental protection
現在這些回收機或回收站裏，大家是排隊等候回收膠樽，為的並非1毫子，為的是支持環保。
Now people are waiting in line around these recycling machines or inside these collection points to recycle plastic bottles . They do so not for the 0.1 rebate but in support of environmental protection
說到回收再造的配套，我也想藉此機會告訴主席，我一直也指出，香港只有回收，但沒有再造。
Speaking of supporting facilities for waste recovery and recycling I would also like to take this opportunity to tell the President that as I have always said there is only recovery but not recycling in Hong Kong
我們現在既有廢物徵費的機會，有已完善的回收配套設施，我們便應考慮下一步，就是如何將香港自己產生的廢物回收並變成有用的物料。
Now that we have the opportunity to impose waste charges and have put in place well - developed recycling supporting facilities we should consider the next step examining ways to recover the waste generated in Hong Kong and turn it into useful materials
可是，政府以往在這方面上的政策支持是相對比較少的。
Nonetheless the Government has provided little policy support in this respect in the past
就是訂立很多法例來規管回收行業。
They have enacted a lot of legislation to regulate the recycling industry
當然提升標準是大家也同意的，但如政府在政策上、資源上未能提供一些支援，回收行業要發展，特別在這麼小的市場、這麼小的地方下，其實是很困難的。
Certainly we all agree to raise the standard . Yet if the Government fails to provide support in terms of policy and resources it will be very difficult for the recycling industry to develop especially in such a small market and such a tiny place
因此，我認為今天《條例草案》恢復二讀，以及我期望可以三讀通過，這是重要的歷史時刻，但這絕對不是剛剛開始的......我期望政府在配套，以及日後環保再造方面投入更多心機和做更多工作，讓香港真的變成綠色環保的香港。
Therefore I think the resumption of the Second Reading of the Bill today and I hope the Bill will go through the Third Reading and be passed is an important historical moment yet this is definitely not just the beginning of I hope that the Government will put in more efforts and do more in environmental protection and recycling work in the future so that Hong Kong can become a truly green and environmental - friendly Hong Kong
政府建議按兩種模式收費，分別為按預繳式指定垃圾袋或指定標籤收費，以及按廢物重量徵收"入閘費"，收費模式視乎廢物收集服務類別而定。
The Government has proposed that charges be levied through the dual modes of charging by pre - paid designated garbage bags or designated labels and charging by weight - based gate - fee . The charging mode will depend on the type of waste collection services
委員普遍不反對推行收費計劃。
Members in general do not object to implementing the charging scheme
政府原本建議在《條例草案》通過後及正式實施收費計劃前，設立12至18個月的準備期，讓政府、不同持份者和市民大眾有時間為落實收費做好準備。
The Government originally proposed to put in place a preparatory period of 12 to 18 months after the passage of the Bill and before the official implementation of the charging scheme in order to provide time for the Government various stakeholders and members of the public to prepare for the implementation of the charges
委員認為，市民可能需要較長時間適應新收費，以及將減廢習慣融入日常生活。
Members opine that the general public may need a longer period of time to adapt to the new charges and cultivate waste reduction habits in their daily lives
因應委員的意見，政府同意將準備期改為至少18個月，並會密切留意不同持份者的準備程度及社會情況，特別是疫情後的經濟復蘇進度等；如有需要，政府會適當延長準備期。
In the light of members views the Government has agreed to revise the preparatory period to at least 18 months and will pay close attention to the level of preparation among different stakeholders and the social situation particularly the progress of economic recovery after the pandemic . The Government will extend the preparatory period as appropriate if considered necessary
為了讓市民培養使用指定垃圾袋妥善棄置廢物的習慣，政府亦會考慮在法例生效初期免費提供指定垃圾袋。
To help the general public cultivate proper waste disposal habits with the use of designated garbage bags the Government will also consider providing free designated garbage bags during the initial stage of commencement of the legislation
《條例草案》訂明有關強制使用指定垃圾袋或指定標籤的新增罪行。
The Bill provides for the newly created offences in relation to the mandatory use of designated garbage bags or designated labels
委員關注前線清潔人員在工作期間擺放和運送違規廢物，或會對他們造成法律風險，因此促請政府提供指引，讓前線清潔人員了解收費計劃的規定和他們本身的責任。
As members are concerned that the deposit and delivery of non - compliant waste by frontline cleaning staff during work may pose legal risks to them they have urged the Government to provide guidance for frontline cleaning staff to enable them to understand the requirements under the charging scheme and their own responsibilities
