我期望下屆行政長官能有宏觀的視野，重新凝聚社會共識，建立一個真正以民為本，重視民生，促進民主，以理性化解矛盾的社會。
I hope that the next Chief Executive can once again seek to forge a social consensus with a broad vision so as to build a truly people - oriented society that emphasizes peoples livelihood promotes democracy and seeks sensible solution to conflicts
主席，今天郭偉强議員動議的議案是"對下任行政長官的期望"。
President today Mr KWOK Wai - keung moved a motion on Expectations for the next Chief Executive
我聽其發言，內容絕大部分是借機肆意批評民主派議員，我還以為今天的議案已改為"對本屆民主派議員的期望"。
But after listening to him I observe that most of the time he simply used the opportunity to lash out at pro - democracy Members as he liked . Having listened to what he said I thought the motion today had changed to Expectations for the current - term pro - democracy Members
但是，非常遺憾，政府竟然一個官員都沒有出席聆聽民意代表的看法。
But most regrettably no public officers are here to listen to our views
這是要強烈譴責的。
This should be strongly condemned
他們仍在收取薪酬，他們不應等下任政府來收拾今屆政府的爛攤子，他們最低限度要出席聆聽，並把我們的意見反映給下屆政府，這是他們的憲制責任。
They are still receiving salaries . They should not wait until the next Government to clear up the mess of this Government . They should at least attend this meeting and reflect our views to the next Government
主席，唐太宗有一句名言："以史為鏡，可以知興替；以人為鏡，可以明得失"。
This is their constitutional responsibility . President Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty had a famous saying . He said You learn the rise and decline if you take history as a mirror; and you understand the success and failure if you take people as a mirror
近年的香港特區政府有數個知名人物均涉貪：曾蔭權、許仕仁、湯顯明和梁振英。
A number of famous icons in the SAR Government in recent years are involved in corruption namely Donald TSANG Rafael HUI Timothy TONG and LEUNG Chun - ying . Donald TSANG is now being prosecuted
曾蔭權現時被檢控；許仕仁身在牢中；湯顯明，很遺憾，無法追究他的罪責；梁振英仍然被廉政公署調查。
Rafael HUI is now in prison . Timothy TONG regrettably is off the hook . And LEUNG Chun - ying is still under investigation by the Independent Commission Against Corruption ICAC
廉潔是香港最重要的核心支柱之一，今天我們討論對行政長官的期望時，我們不能不指出近年香港的廉潔狀況不斷惡化。
Honesty is one of the most important core pillars of Hong Kong . Today when we discuss our expectations for the next Chief Executive we must point out that Hong Kong has been regressing in terms of honesty in recent years
所以，就郭偉强議員的議案，我提出了關於打擊貪腐的修訂。
Thus I proposed an amendment on combating corruption to Mr KWOK Wai - keungs motion
自從梁振英上台後，香港的廉潔狀況不斷惡化，國際反貪機構"透明國際"的研究顯示，香港的國際廉潔排名連跌4年。
The honesty level of Hong Kong has been dropping ever since LEUNG Chun - ying took office . According to a research done by an international anti - corruption organization Transparency International the ranking of Hong Kong on its Corruption Perceptions Index have been dropping for four consecutive years
根據香港大學廉潔程度評價的統計，由梁振英上台到現在，已經由7.37分急跌至歷史新低的5.95分。
And according to the Appraisal of Degree of Corruption - free Practices conducted by the Public Opinion Programme of the University of Hong Kong the rating has plummeted from 7.37 when LEUNG Chun - ying took office to a new record low of 5.95 now
這下跌趨勢要到何時才終止呢？無人能料。
No one knows when this downward trend will stop
我只知道梁振英的貪婪，對香港廉潔的破壞已經無可挽回；他對香港廉潔的破壞，最重要的是損害整套制度，因為他不斷用謊言和藉口來掩飾他收受UGL數以千萬元的利益。
All I know is that the damage on Hong Kong as a clean city done by the avarice of LEUNG Chun - ying is irrevocable . The damage is most seriously seen on the entire establishment because he has been using lies and excuses to cover up his receipt of tens of millions of dollars from UGL Limited
我今早提出口頭質詢，政制及內地事務局局長無法回應，上一次在廉政風暴的議案，林鄭月娥司長同樣無法回應。
I put an oral question this morning and the Secretary for Constitutional and Mainland Affairs could not answer my question . I moved a motion on the personnel reshuffle of ICAC earlier and Chief Secretary Carrie LAM also could not answer my question
這些問題是人的操守問題，亦是香港政治制度的問題。
These issues concern his integrity and also the political system of Hong Kong
宏觀而言，香港特首由小圈子、所謂的選舉產生。
Speaking from a holistic perspective the Chief Executive of Hong Kong is returned by a coterie election which is mostly made up of privileged - class people not chosen by the general public
小圈子絕大部分由特權階級組成，不是由民選組成，他們維護既得利益，維護工商界和大財團。
They protect their vested interests and defend the commercial and industrial sector and large consortia
在這種情況下，特首難免在制度上傾向大商家和大財團，私相授受，利益輸送，破壞香港的廉潔文化。
Given this backdrop the Chief Executive inevitably would tilt his system towards large business tycoons and consortia make secret dealings and transfer benefits to them . This has undermined the honesty culture of Hong Kong
微觀而言，現行《防止賄賂條例》第3條無法監管行政長官，雖然梁振英上台時，曾答應會根據前首席法官李國能的報告，修訂有關的條例，將行政長官納入監管範圍，但多年來，梁振英一直以牽涉複雜的憲制問題等作為藉口，拒絕修例。
Speaking from a microscopic perspective section 3 of the existing Prevention of Bribery Ordinance cannot regulate the Chief Executive . When LEUNG Chun - ying took office he promised that he would amend the Ordinance in accordance with the report submitted by the former Chief Justice Andrew LI to include Chief Executive into the scope of regulation . However in the past years LEUNG Chun - ying has refused to amend the Ordinance with the excuse that the subject involves complex constitutional issues
到他現在宣布不連任，即將下台，仍未看到修例一事有何進展，令我不得不質疑，其實梁振英是否其身不正，是否在任內仍在收受其他我們不知道的利益，導致他不敢修訂有關法例來監管自己呢？
Now he has announced his decision not to run for another term and is about to step down but we still cannot see any progress in this matter . I cannot help but suspect that he may have done something wrong or may have received other benefits during his term that we are unaware of such that he dare not amend the Ordinance to regulate himself
香港為何有兩套法例？一套監管普羅百姓和其他政府官員，另一套卻只是放生梁振英呢？
How come there is one set of law in Hong Kong to regulate the general public and other public officers and another set of law to let LEUNG Chun - ying off the hook?
主席，我今天要說對行政長官的期望，我不得不提政務司司長林鄭月娥女士，她公開表明重新考慮是否競逐行政長官。
President today I am supposed to express my expectations for the Chief Executive but I must also say something about Chief Secretary for Administration Carrie LAM because she has openly said that she would reconsider running for the post of Chief Executive
香港賴以成功的是公平、公開的制度，鼓勵競爭，但西九事件卻顯示，林鄭月娥專橫獨斷，欽點建築師，跨過所有正常程序，令公平競爭的環境受到損害。
A fair and open system which encourages competition is the key to Hong Kongs success . However the West Kowloon Cultural District WCKD incident revealed the imperious and arbitrary side of Carrie LAM . She went around all normal procedures and ordained the architect
她正在損害香港的競爭制度、公平文化。
Her action disrupts the level playing field and competitiveness and harms the system of competition and the fairness culture of Hong Kong
她亦承認自己在整件事中有不足，但她卻批評別人把問題政治化。
She actually admitted that she had inadequacy in the handling of the incident but she also criticized others for making the issue political
這是非常荒謬的說法。主席，行政長官首要做的事應是廣納雅言，聆聽不同的聲音，虛心地聆聽批評的意見。
President a priority task of the Chief Executive is to extensively solicit different advice and humbly listen to criticism
但是，我看不到宣布有意角逐行政長官的林鄭月娥有此氣量和胸襟。
But I am not convinced that Carrie LAM a potential Chief Executive Election candidate has this moral character and aspiration
主席，今天的議案非常重要，我知道很多議員提出不同的修正案。
President the motion today is very important . I know that many Members have proposed different amendments to the motion
我們民主黨贊成捍衞國家主權、"一國兩制"、"港人治港"、"高度自治"。
We the Democratic Party support safeguarding the countrys sovereignty and one country two systems and implementing Hong Kong people ruling Hong Kong and a high degree of autonomy
但這些工作不是香港某一個人或某一個政黨單方面的工作和責任，而是全港社會一起肩負的責任。
But these tasks cannot be achieved by the work of and be considered as the responsibility of one single person or political party in Hong Kong . These tasks are the responsibility of all people in society
更重要的是中央政府不能帶頭破壞"一國兩制"、"港人治港"、"高度自治"。
More importantly the Central Government must not take the lead to damage one country two systems Hong Kong people ruling Hong Kong and a high degree of autonomy
最後，主席，我寄語下任特首，做特首不要想着延續梁振英的路線；做特首不要想着已服務香港數十年，便是香港民意利益的代表，請聽一聽不同人的意見，聽一聽批評你的聲音，看看是否合理。
Last but not least President I wish to advise the next Chief Executive not to continue the route taken by LEUNG Chun - ying . Do not think that you are the representative of public opinion and public interests just because you have served Hong Kong for decades . Please listen to different views and criticisms about you and see if they are justified
代理主席，我記得第一次接觸手語，是在我第二次當實習社工期間。
Deputy President I can remember that I had my first experience with sign language when I worked as a student social worker for the second time
當時我前往殘疾院舍實習半年，院舍的朋友日間會到工場工作，晚上回到院舍睡覺和活動。
I was then assigned for a half - year internship to a home for persons with disabilities . The residents of the home spent the day in a workshop and returned in the evening for sleeping and various activities
我當時留意到一位院友經常坐在一旁不說話，但不時友善地展露笑容，不過沒有進一步的話題，後來我得知他是聾啞人士，並有輕度智障。
At that time a resident caught my attention as he often sat silently on one side wearing an amiable smile every now and then . But I did not really have any conversation with him . Later I came to know that he was a deaf - mute person with mild intellectual disability
我當時嘗試與他聊天，難度當然甚高，大家可以想象得到，他不知我在說甚麼，於是便向我手舞足蹈，那是我首次接觸手語，亦令我開始有動機學習如何使用手語來與聾啞人士溝通。
I tried to chat with him but it was understandably difficult to do so as Members can all imagine . He could not understand what I was saying so he used all sorts of gestures before me . That was my first experience with sign language and I was thus motivated to learn how to use sign language to communicate with the deaf - mute
他成為我首位手語老師，亦最直接地令我明白，有很多朋友其實很渴望與人溝通，但可惜，可能由於聽障的緣故，他們與別人之間出現一道牆壁，令大家未能與他們溝通，而他們也未必能走進社會，這成為我們今天討論的議題：手語能否成為香港的官方語言？
He became my first sign language teacher and his case gave me a first - hand understanding of one thing many people actually long to communicate with others but very sadly perhaps due to hearing impairment there is a wall between them and others . They are thus unable to communicate with others and may thus fail to integrate into society . This gives rise to our motion topic today can sign language be made an official language of Hong Kong?
剛才有建制派的同事也說，讓手語成為官方語言？
We can see that in the city of Hong Kong Just now some pro - establishment Member noted the request for making sign language an official language
但只有50多位手語翻譯員，怎可能足以應付15萬名有不同聽障障礙人士的需要呢？
But since there are only 50 - odd sign language interpreters in Hong Kong they asked how can it be possible to cope with the need of 150 000 people with varying degrees of hearing impairment?
當然，幸好有其他同事幫忙糾正，其實並不是這樣的。
Fortunately some other Members have helped to correct this perception clarifying that this is not the case
今天討論的是官方語言，簡單而言，便是要進行推廣，以不同的方式令手語能夠更走進我們的生活、我們的社會。
The point of the discussion today is an official language . In brief we need to promote sign language and think of various ways to let it play a greater role in our daily life and our community
根據我們的感受，我們希望在席或電視機前聆聽這項辯論的市民可以想想，其實我們的耳朵能聽、嘴巴能說，實在是一種福氣，是自出生時便有的福氣。
Talking about our senses we hope the Members present and people listening to this debate on television can realize that being able to hear with ones ears and speak with ones mouth is actually a very great blessing a blessing that came with ones birth
他們會因應本身不同聽障程度來嘗試融入社會，有些朋友很聰明，他們可能透過口語，讀對方的嘴唇，以了解對方在說甚麼，亦同時學習相對有系統的手語來表達自己。
Some of them are very clever . They have learnt to use the spoken language and can understand others messages by lip - reading . At the same time they have also learnt how to express themselves using the more systematic means of sign language
但抱歉，在街上，我們有多少時間可以接觸手語呢？
But how often can we see the use of sign language in the streets?
在我認識的聾人朋友中，許多都有自己的夢想，他們明白自己身體的殘障或許會窒礙他們達到夢想的努力，但其實他們在各自無聲的世界中不斷思考如何可以做到自己想做的事，以證明自己的才能，思考如何證明憑自己的能力同樣也可以有所作為。
Many deaf people I know have their dreams . They do realize that their physical disabilities may thwart their attempts to realize their dreams but in their own silent worlds they have nonetheless kept thinking about ways to achieve what they want to do so as to prove their abilities . They have kept thinking about ways to prove that they are also capable of achievements given their abilities
最後，容許我以簡單的手語來感謝當天教導我手語的老師。
Finally please allow me to use very simple sign language to thank my sign language teacher back then
最重要的是，在電視機前或眾多殘障的朋友，我希望他們知道我們感受到他們的心情。
Most importantly I hope that people watching this debate on television and people with disabilities can know that their feelings are also ours
很簡單的手語，希望手語能成為官方語言。
This is very simple sign language expressing the hope that sign language can be made an official language
代理主席，首先，我感謝梁耀忠議員就"爭取手語成為香港官方語言"提出今天這項議案。
Deputy President first of all I wish to thank Mr LEUNG Yiu - chung for moving this motion on Striving to make sign language an official language of Hong Kong
聯合國《殘疾人權利公約》自2008年8月31日起在香港特別行政區生效。
The United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities was entered into force for the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region on 31 August 2008
香港康復政策的發展方向，一直是以協助殘疾人士發展能力，實現無障礙環境為目標，讓殘疾人士在社交生活和個人成長方面，均能達致全面參與和享有平等機會，這與《公約》的精神是一致的。
The development direction of Hong Kongs rehabilitation policy has always aimed to assist persons with disabilities in developing their potentials and to bring forth a barrier - free environment that can ensure full participation and equal opportunities for persons with disabilities in respect of their social life and personal development . This is in line with the spirit of the Convention
推廣及落實《公約》是持續的措施，特區政府在制訂政策和推行計劃，特別是對殘疾人士有重大影響的政策和措施時，需要充分考慮《公約》的規定。
The promotion and implementation of the Convention is a sustained undertaking and when the SAR Government formulates any policies and implements any plans especially when it draws up policies and measures that will have significant impact on persons with disabilities it must give full consideration to the provisions of the Convention
政府會適當地諮詢殘疾人士和持份者，以確保政策和措施能充分照顧殘疾人士的需要。
The Government will appropriately consult persons with disabilities and stakeholders so as to ensure that the relevant policies and measures can adequately cater for the needs of persons with disabilities
根據政府統計處在2014年12月出版的《第62號專題報告書》的資料顯示，香港有155,200名聽覺有困難的人士，當中有3,900名，即大約2.5%表示懂得使用手語。
As indicated by the data in the Special Topics Report No . 62 published by the Census and Statistics Department in December 2014 there were 155 200 people with hearing difficulty in Hong Kong . Of these 3 900 people or roughly 2.5 % of the total knew how to use sign language
另外，香港有49,300名言語能力有困難的人士，當中有3,400名，即6.9%表示懂得使用手語。
Besides there were 49 300 people with speech difficulty . Of these 3 400 people or 6.9 % of the total knew how to use sign language
毛議員，你是否有規程問題？
Ms MO do you have a point of order?
相關資料顯示，香港有155,200名聽覺有困難的人士，當中有3,900名，即大約2.5%表示懂得使用手語。
According to relevant figures there were 155 200 people with hearing difficulty in Hong Kong . Of these 3 900 people or roughly 2.5 % of the total knew how to use sign language
就推廣手語的工作而言，勞工及福利局轄下的康復諮詢委員會成立了工作小組，就如何推廣手語向政府提供意見。
Regarding the promotion of sign language the Rehabilitation Advisory Committee RAC under the Labour and Welfare Bureau has set up a working group to advise the Government on ways to promote sign language
工作小組成員包括康復諮詢委員會委員、聽障人士、手語翻譯員、康復界非政府機構代表及教育界代表，而相關的政府政策局及部門代表亦會按需要出席會議。
The working group comprises members of RAC hearing impaired persons sign language interpreters and representatives from non - governmental organizations NGOs of the rehabilitation sector and the education sector . Representatives of relevant government bureaux and departments would attend meetings for discussion as and when necessary
工作小組留意到，本地手語尚未演化出一套通用的語言，聾人社群間就同一事物的手語表達方式不盡相同。
The working group notes that a common form of local sign language has not yet evolved . The deaf community are still using different signs to stand for the same objects
工作小組認為現階段應以推廣基礎手語我強調是基礎手語為首要工作，使易於學習的手語及常用的時事詞彙普及化。
The working group is of the view that the priority at the present stage should be the promotion of basic sign language―basic sign language I must emphasize―with a view to popularizing some easy signs and signs standing for common words and expressions used in current affairs
就此，工作小組建議循3個方向推廣手語在香港的發展，包括推廣手語在生活上的應用、透過鼓勵大眾學習手語以推廣共融的信息，以及研究如何鼓勵聽障學生學習手語。
In this connection the working group recommends the promotion of sign language development in Hong Kong in three directions namely promoting the use of sign language in daily life propagating the message of integration by encouraging the general public to learn sign language and conducting studies on ways to induce students with hearing impairment to learn sign language
工作小組認為有需要在法律、醫療、福利及娛樂等生活範疇加強手語翻譯服務，亦特別鼓勵政府部門、非政府機構和公共服務機構的前線員工學習手語，方便與聽障服務使用者好好溝通。
The working group maintains that it is necessary to step up sign language interpretation service in the areas of law health care social welfare and entertainment . In particular it encourages the frontline staff of government departments NGOs and public utility organizations to learn sign language so that they can communicate with clients with hearing impairment more conveniently and properly
待稍後聽取議員就議題發表的意見，我會就政府在推廣手語方面的工作作詳盡的回應。
After listening to Members views on the motion topic I will give a detailed reply on the efforts of the Government to promote sign language
接下來，我想邀請商務及經濟發展局副局長就規定電視新聞報道需要手語翻譯的環節作出回應。
I will now invite the Under Secretary for Commerce and Economic Development to give a reply on the provision of sign language interpretation in television news broadcasts
主席，我很感謝剛才有17位議員就加強推廣手語提供了很多寶貴意見。
President I am very grateful to the 17 Honourable Members for the many valuable comments they have made on stepping up the promotion of sign language
我亦很感謝在立法會會議擔任手語翻譯的同事。
I also wish to thank those colleagues who provide sign language interpretation in Legislative Council meetings
我現在會在餘下時間扼要回應議員剛才提出的許多意見。
In the remaining time I will briefly respond to the comments made by Members
首先我要強調政府十分重視推廣手語這項議題。
First of all I must stress that the Government attaches a great deal of importance to the promotion of sign language
勞工及福利局於2010年在康復諮詢委員會下我剛才已提及成立了一個推廣手語工作小組，近數年來一直不遺餘力地積極推廣手語在香港的發展。
As I mentioned a while ago the Labour and Welfare Bureau set up the Working Group on Promoting Sign Language under the Rehabilitation Advisory Committee RAC in 2010 . Over the past few years the working group has been making strenuous and active efforts to promote sign language development in Hong Kong
政府一直從3個方向推廣手語的發展，包括：a推廣手語在生活上的應用，這很重要；b透過鼓勵大眾學習手語以推廣共融的信息；及c研究如何鼓勵聽障學生學習手語。
The Government has all along adopted a three - pronged approach in the promotion of sign language including a promoting the use of sign language in daily life ; b promoting the message of inclusiveness by encouraging the public to learn sign language; and c exploring ways to promote the learning of sign language among students with hearing impairment
剛才很多議員也提到關於教育的問題。
Many Members have talked about issues in education just now
主席，廣深港高速鐵路香港段的建造工程於2010年展開，並預料會於2018年第三季通車。
President the Hong Kong section of the Guangzhou - Shenzhen - Hong Kong Express Rail Link XRL the construction of which commenced in 2010 is expected to be commissioned in the third quarter of 2018
政府計劃在高鐵西九龍總站，以"一地兩檢"安排為高鐵乘客進行邊境檢查。
The Government plans to conduct border checks for XRL passengers at the XRL West Kowloon Terminus WKT under the arrangements for co - location of boundary control
由於有關安排涉及複雜的法律和憲制事宜，政府多年來一直與內地相關部門進行商討。
As such arrangements involve complicated legal and constitutional issues the Government has all along been conducting discussions with the relevant Mainland departments for a number of years
運輸及房屋局副局長於上月10日表示，有關商討已進入尾聲。
The Under Secretary for Transport and Housing indicated on the 10 of last month that the relevant discussions had reached the final stage
因此，高鐵不單對香港的對外交通運輸具有重大的策略意義及作用，也能提升香港的整體競爭力，鞏固香港作為區域樞紐的地位。
Therefore not only does the XRL have important strategic significance and value to Hong Kongs external traffic and transport but it can also raise Hong Kongs overall competitiveness and consolidate Hong Kongs status as a regional hub
政府及香港鐵路有限公司正全速推進高鐵工程，有關進展我們每季度均向立法會鐵路事宜小組委員會交代。
The Government and the MTR Corporation Limited are pressing ahead in full speed with the works on the XRL the progress of which is reported to the Subcommittee on Matters Relating to Railways of the Legislative Council quarterly
現已完成整體超過八成半的工程，目前比較關鍵的工程合約包括西九龍總站北的建造工程，以及西九龍總站及隧道內進行的機電系統工程。
Currently the works are over 85 % complete . The relatively critical works contracts at present include the construction of the West Kowloon Terminus WKT North and the electrical and mechanical systems works currently being carried out in the WKT and tunnels
預計將會於今年第二季開始分階段進行調試和試運行的工作。
We expect to commence testing commissioning and trial operation of the XRL in phases from the second quarter of 2017
同時，我們也為高鐵日後的營運做準備工作，目標是如期於明年第三季通車。
At the same time we are preparing for the operation of the XRL with a view to commissioning the XRL by the third quarter of next year ie . 2018 as scheduled
因此，在2010年年初高鐵項目立項時，政府表示會以"一地兩檢"為目標，並積極研究如何在西九龍總站實施。
Therefore when the XRL project was established in early 2010 the Government stated its target to implement co - location of CIQ facilities and has been actively examining how it can be implemented at the WKT
在這安排下，由香港乘坐高鐵往內地的乘客，可於西九龍總站登車前，先後完成香港與內地的出入境等手續，便可直接前往全國高鐵網絡沿線的所有城市，不用再檢；另一方 面，在內地高鐵網絡任何一個城市登上前往香港的高鐵列車的乘客，可在直達香港後才於西九龍總站辦理兩地出入境等手續。
Under this arrangement passengers travelling on the XRL from Hong Kong to the Mainland can go through the CIQ procedures of both Hong Kong and the Mainland successively at WKT before boarding the train and then travel to Mainland cities on the national high - speed rail network direct without going through CIQ procedures again . On the other hand passengers can travel by XRL from any cities on the national high - speed rail network to Hong Kong direct and only go through CIQ procedures of both places at WKT
南北行的旅客均可於西九龍總站同時辦理兩地出入境及清關等手續，登車後無須再上落車進行邊檢，能充分體現高鐵方便省時的效益，是香港高鐵最大優勢所在。
Passengers going in either direction can go through CIQ procedures of Hong Kong and the Mainland at WKT and do not have to get off the train midway to go through boundary control thereby fully realizing the convenience and time - saving benefit of travelling by the XRL
兩個司法管轄區之間實施"一地兩檢"，在其他地方早有先例，如英、法兩國及美、加兩國之間的安排。
There are overseas examples of implementation of co - location of CIQ facilities of two jurisdictions including the arrangement between the United Kingdom and France and that between the United States and Canada
在香港境內落實與內地之間"一地兩檢"安排的最關鍵問題，是如何在符合《基本法》和"一國兩制"的原則下，容許內地檢查人員在西九龍總站執行內地的出入境、清關及檢疫等相關法規。
The most crucial issue in relation to the implementation of co - location of CIQ facilities of Hong Kong and the Mainland is how Mainland officials are to be allowed to implement Mainland CIQ - related rules at the WKT in compliance with the Basic Law and the principle of one country two systems
就此，律政司、運輸及房屋局、保安局和政制及內地事務局一直與內地相關部委進行商討。
The Department of Justice the Transport and Housing Bureau the Security Bureau and the Constitutional and Mainland Affairs Bureau have been discussing this with the relevant Mainland authorities
雙方均認同應以在高鐵明年第三季通車時，於西九龍總站落實符合《基本法》及"一國兩制"的"一地兩檢"安排為目標。
Both sides agree that the target should be to implement a co - location arrangement at the WKT that complies with both the Basic Law and the principle of one country two systems when the XRL commences operation by the third quarter of next year
由於當中涉及很多複雜的憲制、法律和運作上的問題，所以數年來雙方就相關問題的處理作出了反覆商討和深入研究。
Since this involves many complicated constitutional legal and operational issues the two sides have been discussing and studying in depth on how such issues should be handled
我們明白，目前時間迫切，當雙方就高鐵的上述安排達成共識後，我們會盡快向立法會和社會大眾匯報，讓社會各界有機會表達意見，並讓我們回應有關疑問。
We appreciate that time is running short . When both sides have reached a consensus regarding the aforementioned arrangements for the XRL we will report to the Legislative Council and the public as soon as possible allow all walks of society a chance to express their views and the Government to answer any queries
然後，按着高鐵通車的目標時間，推展相關的本地立法工作，希望屆時得到立法會的支持。
We will then proceed with the local legislative work in accordance with our target date for commissioning of the XRL
正如我剛才所述，"一地兩檢"對體現高鐵的最大效益至為關鍵，因此特區政府的首要而明確的目標，是爭取於高鐵通車時實施"一地兩檢"。
As I mentioned before implementing co - location of CIQ facilities at WKT is key to realizing the maximum benefits of the XRL . Therefore the foremost and obvious objective of the Government is to try to implement co - location arrangement at the commissioning of the XRL
主席，雖然"一地兩檢"是一個複雜的議題，但並非沒有先例可循。
President despite co - location being a complicated issue it is not without precedents
