如果政府沒有推出支持業界持續發展的有效政策，平衡各公共交通工具的角色，只會令小巴業的營建更見困難。
If the Government does not introduce effective policies to support the trades sustainable development and strike a balance among the roles of various modes of public transport this will only exacerbate the operational difficulties of the minibus trade
事實上，我的黨友易志明議員曾在立法會促請政府應盡快展開第四次整體運輸研究，希望政府能從較宏觀的角度，為隨後10多年的交通運輸系統發展作前瞻性的規劃，並為各種公共交通工具訂立更清晰明確的定位。
In fact Mr Frankie YICK my party comrade had urged in this Council that the Government should launch the Fourth Comprehensive Transport Study expeditiously with the hope that the Government would formulate forward - looking planning of the development of the transport system for the next ten years from a macroscopic perspective and position various modes of public transport in a clearer and more specific manner
雖然議案獲議會同事支持，但政府最終只進行較狹窄的《公共交通策略研究》。
Although the motion was supported by colleagues in the Council the Government eventually decided to conduct the less comprehensive Public Transport Strategy Study
有關研究已進入尾聲，並已落實小巴座位增加至最多19個的建議，但增加座位並不足以解決現時小巴業面對的問題。
The latter Study which is in its final stage has implemented the proposal for increasing the seating capacity of minibuses to 19 seats . Nevertheless the current problems faced by the minibus trade cannot be fully addressed by this increase in seating capacity
一直以來，政府並沒有為小巴制訂長遠持續發展的政策及予以扶持。
The Government has all along neither formulated a policy of long - term sustainable development for minibuses nor rendered support to the trade . For instance the Government has recently proposed to raise the penalty for illegal parking in order to maximize the deterrent effect . But the problem of illegal parking originates from a severe lack of parking spaces
正如政府近日提出調高違例泊車的罰則以起阻嚇作用，但違泊的最根本原因是泊車位不足，小巴自然首當其衝，因為香港政府從來沒有為業界提供適合的泊位，小巴司機晚上放工後，把小巴停泊在小巴站內是很自然的事，但雖然只是在晚間停泊，又沒有造成任何阻礙，但卻被警方抄牌，可見政府對小巴業並沒有提供足夠的配套和支援。
And surely minibuses are the first ones to bear the brunt as the Government of Hong Kong has never provided appropriate parking spaces for the trade . It is natural for minibus drivers to park their minibuses at minibus termini . Though they park the minibuses during the small hours which cause no disturbance to traffic they are issued penalty summons
近年小巴業的營運成本，包括保險費和車輛維修費，均持續上升。
It is evident that the Government has not provided adequate complementary services and support to the minibus trade . The operational costs of the minibus trade including insurance and maintenance expenses have kept rising in recent years . This is particularly so with the vehicle maintenance expenses
在明年1月1日，歐盟II期的柴油商用車輛將不獲續牌，若要在政府推出的"淘汰歐盟四期以前柴油商業車輛特惠資助計劃"下申請資助，小巴車主必須於今年年底前換車，但市場上卻欠缺可以更換的車種。
From 1 January next year onwards the licenses of Euro II diesel commercial vehicles will no longer be renewed . If vehicle owners wish to apply for ex - gratia grants under the Ex - gratia Payment Scheme for Phasing Out Pre - Euro IV Diesel Commercial Vehicles they have to replace their vehicles before the end of this year . However there is a shortage of models as substitutes in the market
因此，截至今年年初，在各類商業車輛中，小巴的參與率相對地低，只有兩成。
Therefore as at the beginning of this year among various commercial vehicles the participation rate of minibus operators is relatively low accounting for 20 % only
小巴的經營成本不斷上漲，但經營空間又日漸收窄，對業界構成沉重的財政壓力。
While the operational costs of minibuses keep rising the room for operation is shrinking on the day imposing a heavy financial burden on the trade
慶幸的是，過去兩年國際油價回落，這才勉強抵銷增加的成本，令以往經常聽到有專線小巴營辦商申請取消路線的情況有所緩和，但油價並不會持續處於低位，近月油價已迅速向上攀升。
It is fortunate that international oil prices have dropped over the past two years . This has barely offset the increased costs thereby alleviating the situation of operators of green minibuses applying for route cancellation which was a frequent practice in the past . However oil prices will not persistently stay at a low level
由於車費的調整需經運輸署審批及進行地區諮詢，即使綠色專線小巴的營運出現入不敷支的情況，亦未必可以順理成章地透過增加票價而止蝕。
In recent months oil prices have resumed a rapid upward spiral . Given that fare adjustments are subject to the approval of the Transport Department and the conduct of local consultations even if operators of green minibuses find themselves in a situation where their earnings fail to meet the operational costs they cannot take it for granted that they can cut loss through fare increases
因此，政府亦因應小巴業界的建議，向立法會提交有關增加公共小巴座位數目的修訂條例草案，希望透過增加座位，改善小巴營運者的財務狀況。
Hence in the light of proposals made by the minibus trade the Government has submitted an Amendment Bill on increasing the number of seats of public light buses PLBs to the Legislative Council with the aim of improving the financial position of minibus operators through increasing the seating capacity
我個人認為此想法並不存在，除非整體小巴的乘客量能有實質的增長，但正如前述，小巴的營業前景是並不理想的。
Personally I think this idea is not practical unless there is a substantial growth in the overall patronage of minibuses . However as mentioned just now the business prospect of minibuses is not desirable
小巴面對的問題，除財政壓力外，還有司機青黃不接。
Apart from financial pressure the problems faced by the minibus trade also include manpower succession
小巴司機，特別是綠色專線小巴的司機工作時間長且困身，再加上在調整收費方面又往往遇上諸多阻滯，車費的調整幅度較成本上升的速度滯後，車主難以有空間調高司機的薪酬，令小巴司機的薪酬一直欠缺市場競爭力，衍生的後遺症便是招聘困難。
The working hours of minibus drivers particularly the drivers of green minibuses are long and drivers are tied up at work . In addition their applications for fare adjustment often encounter many obstacles resulting in the rate of fare adjustment lagging behind the speed of cost increases . There is little room for minibus owners to raise the salary of drivers
由於司機短缺，導致替更司機的百分比更較正規司機為高，比例為6：4，情況並不健康。
Given the shortage of drivers the percentage of relief drivers is even higher than that of regular drivers with the ratio reaching 6col4 . This represents an unhealthy situation
自2015年6月1日起強制有意成為公共小巴司機的人士須接受職前培訓後，業界表示新人入行明顯有所減少，加劇小巴業招聘困難的問題。
According to the trade since the introduction of a mandatory requirement of pre - employment training for those who aspire to becoming PLB drivers from 1 June 2015 there has been an obvious drop in the number of new comers joining the trade aggravating further the problem of recruitment difficulties of the minibus trade
公共小巴面對市場不斷收縮，業界亦希望因應市民所需擴大經營空間。
In the face of continual shrinking of its market the PLB trade hopes to expand the room of operation in response to public need
雖然運輸及房屋局表示會引入專線小巴服務往來港珠澳大橋香港口岸交匯處及港鐵東涌站，但我仍然希望當局在東涌新市鎮開辦專線小巴往來機場島及東涌，以方便在機場上班的員工。
Although the Secretary for Transport and Housing has indicated that green minibus services will be introduced to ply between the Hong Kong - Zhuhai - Macao Bridge Hong Kong Boundary Crossing and the MTR Tung Chung Station I still hope that the Administration will operate new green minibus routes in the Tung Chung New Town for travelling to and from the airport island and Tung Chung so as to facilitate staff members working in the airport
事實上，易志明議員及其他議員在議會上曾多次提出這建議，但當局表示，東涌新市鎮現時的鐵路和專營巴士服務已十分完善，故於該區暫無引入公共小巴服務的計劃。
In fact Mr Frankie YICK and other Members have put forth this proposal many times in the Council . However the Administration has indicated that the existing railway and franchised bus services in the Tung Chung New Town are very comprehensive and thus the Government has temporarily no plans to introduce PLB service in the district
可是，我卻聽到有不同的聲音，在赤鱲角機場附近的企業均表示該區交通不便，不但影響員工上下班，亦影響招聘。
But I have heard different kinds of viewpoints . Enterprises located near the Chek Lap Kok Airport have indicated that the inconvenient transport links in the district has not only affected staff members going to and from work but also impacted on recruitment
機場社區一直面對人力資源不足的問題，既然政府一直銳意發展香港成為航空樞紐，除擴建機場外，其他配套亦應配合。
The community at the airport has been facing the problem of insufficient manpower . As the Government has all along been keen on developing Hong Kong into an aviation hub so apart from expansion the airport should be complemented by other ancillary facilities
否則，即使日後落成三跑系統，亦難有足夠人力資源作支援。
Otherwise even if the three - runway system is completed in future sufficient manpower will not be available to serve as its support
小巴是市民日常的主要交通工具之一，彌補鐵路和巴士服務的不足，例如部分屋邨距離港鐵站較遠，居民需要依賴小巴接駁鐵路服務。
Minibus is one of the major transport modes in the daily life of the public supplementing inadequate railway and bus services . For instance some housing estates are farther away from MTR stations thus residents have to rely on minibus for connection to railway services
因此，我支持港鐵與所有專線小巴路線提供轉乘優惠。
Therefore I support the provision of interchange concessions for MTR and all green minibus routes
既然小巴服務在整個公共交通運輸系統仍然扮演着重要的輔助角色，當局應予以適當扶持，給予小巴生存空間，並為小巴服務制訂長遠發展計劃，讓小巴可以更有效地發揮其功能，為市民提供完善及有效率的公共交通服務。
Since minibus services still play an important supporting role in the whole public transport system the authorities should provide appropriate support and allow minibus room of survival . The authorities should also draw up plans for the long - term development of minibus services so that minibus can perform its functions more effectively and provide the public with comprehensive and efficient public transport services
三項根據《釋義及通則條例》就延展附屬法例的修訂期限而動議的擬議決議案。
Three proposed resolutions under the Interpretation and General Clauses Ordinance in relation to the extension of the period for amending subsidiary legislation
第一項議案：延展於2017年4月26日提交本會省覽，6項有關港珠澳大橋通車的附屬法例的修訂期限。
First motion To extend the period for amending the six items of subsidiary legislation relating to the commissioning of the Hong Kong - Zhuhai - Macao Bridge which were laid on the Table of this Council on 26 April 2017
首先，我要多謝鄭松泰議員提出這項議案。
First of all I wish to thank Dr CHENG Chung - tai for proposing this motion
不過，他在剛才的發言中花了很多篇幅談論選舉制度，但我想集中討論今次這宗很離譜地遺失了香港300多萬市民的個人資料的事件。
In his speech just now he spent a lot of time discussing our electoral system but I want to focus on the outrageous incident in which the personal particulars of more than 3 million Hong Kong residents were lost
不過，我要先指出，我也擔心今天的發言人數可能不多，但無論發言人數多寡，也希望政府明白即使發言人數不多，並不代表這宗事件不重要。
But I must first express my worry that the number of Members who speak today may not be very large . However regardless of how large or how small the number may be I still hope the Government can understand that even if the number is not very large it should not take it to mean that this incident is insignificant
相反，我認為市民和議員一定要重視今次事件，否則政府會以為可以得過且過，而且會議廳內現在也沒多少議員，讓三數議員發言過後便可了事，反正只要有心拖延，市民和議員日後定會忘記。
I think Members and the public must take the incident seriously otherwise the Government may think that it can muddle through especially when it sees only a few Members in the Chamber . The Government may think that the matter will be over after several Members have spoken and that if it keeps delaying Members and the public will surely forget it sooner or later
私隱專員公署表示會展開調查，但至今仍未有任何消息。
The PCPD Office said it would launch an investigation but there has not been any news so far
此外，我亦先後於3月31日和4月19日去信申訴專員公署，投訴選舉事務處行政失當，要求展開調查。
I myself also wrote to the Office of The Ombudsman on 31 March and 19 April complaining about the maladministration of REO and requesting an investigation
這次小圈子選舉只有不足1,200人投票，但當局卻帶了300多萬不用投票的選民的資料前往會場，而且還要是後備場地，這顯然及一定是有問題。
The coterie election concerned involved only fewer than 1 200 people but then the authorities brought the information about 3 million - odd electors who did not need to vote to the venue or the fallback venue to be precise . There was clearly and definitely a mistake
但是，當局還要拖延這麼久，待至6月19日才前來提交報告，我認為此舉本身已有拖延成分。
However the authorities still want to put up such a long delay and put off making a report to this Council until 19 June . I think this move itself has some intention of procrastination
副局長剛才發言中的開首數句說話，令我尤其感到不滿。
I am especially dissatisfied with the beginning sentences of the Under Secretarys speech just now
他一句對不起都沒有，便先說反對立法會進行調查。
Without saying anything like he was sorry he simply said right at the very beginning that he opposed any investigation by the Legislative Council
政府資訊科技總監辦公室訂有基準資訊科技保安政策及《資訊科技保安指引》，詳列局方和部門人員應如何處理保密資料，以及使用手提電腦、USB記憶體這些高風險流動裝置和可移除式媒體的指引。
The Office of the Government Chief Information Officer OGCIO has formulated the Baseline IT Security Policy and the IT Security Guidelines setting out detailed guidelines for the staff of Policy Bureaux and departments on handling classified information and high - risk mobile devices such as laptops USB memory sticks and removable media
當中說明使用這些裝置有一定風險，因為它們體積細小，容易遺失或被盜，而且為避免資料外泄，應減少將保密資料儲存在手提電腦。
The guidelines clearly state that the use of such devices may involve certain risks because they are small and can be easily lost or stolen . The guidelines also say that to avoid leakage of information the storage of classified information in laptops should be reduced
上述指引第13.2a條很清楚訂明，"將資訊科技設備帶離場地的人員亦不應在公眾場所隨意放置資訊科技設備。如有需要，亦應將設備鎖好，以防遺失及被盜。
Article 13.2a of the Guidelines above clearly state Staff taking IT equipment off - site should also ensure that IT equipment is not left unattended in public places or is properly locked up when not attended to protect against loss and theft and shall not leave business possessions unattended without proper security measures
該指引第10.3a條亦訂明，員工應具有充分理由，才可使用這些流動裝置，並應事先得到正式授權，以儲存最少所需的保密資料到這些媒體為原則。
Article 10.3a of the Guidelines also states that staff should justify the need to use these devices seek proper authorization beforehand and abide by the principle of storing minimum required classified data to these devices
選舉事務處總選舉事務主任黃思文先生和首席選舉事務主任馬笑虹女士均表示，對載有全港選民個人資料的電腦被帶到後備場地一事全不知情。
Mr WONG See - man Chief Electoral Officer and Miss Candy MA Principal Electoral Officer both said they did not know that the computers containing the personal particulars of all the electors in Hong Kong were brought to the fallback venue
根據政府資訊科技總監辦公室的《資訊科技保安指引第8.0版》13.2條所訂，使用這些設備須符合若干保安要求，包括我再一次引述的不應放在公眾場所，以及必須有足夠保安才可使用和處理。
According to Article 13.2 of the IT Security Guidelines G3 Version 8.0 from OGCIO the use of such devices are governed by certain security requirements . These include―let me refer to them again―the provisions that such devices must not be left unattended to in public places and that they may be used and handled only when sufficient security measures are in place
據說當時用了一個箱，把數部手提電腦疊放在一起便了事，顯示選舉事務處人員沒有採取所有合理和切實可行的步驟，確保市民的個人資料受到保障，這種做法不單不可接受，而且要再次說明，已明顯違反了政府的內部資訊科技安全守則。
According to reports they only stacked several notebook computers casually inside a box . This shows that REO staff did not take all reasonable and practicable steps to ensure the protection of peoples personal data . This is unacceptable and shows further that the internal information security code of the Government was clearly violated
第五，這次事件確實影響了香港人對選舉制度的信心。
Fifth this incident has really affected Hong Kong peoples confidence in the electoral system
主席，我動議通過以我名義提出的議案，議案內容已載列於議程內。
President I move that the motion as printed on the Agenda be passed
在2017年4月28日的內務委員會會議上，議員決定成立一個小組委員會，審議《2017年〈2016年促進循環再造及妥善處置條例〉公告》。
Members agreed at the House Committee meeting on 28 April 2017 to form a subcommittee to study the Promotion of Recycling and Proper Disposal Amendment Ordinance 2016 Commencement Notice 2017
為了讓小組委員會有足夠時間向內務委員會報告其審議結果，我謹以小組委員會主席的身份，動議將該《生效日期公告》的審議期限，延展至2017年6月14日。
To allow sufficient time for the Subcommittee to report its deliberations to the House Committee in my capacity as Chairman of the Subcommittee I move that the period for scrutinizing the Commencement Notice be extended to 14 June 2017
主席，我謹請議員支持議案。
President I urge Members to support the motion
主席，以上是我作為小組委員會主席的發言，接下來我會補充一些個人意見。
Having made the above speech in my capacity as a Chairman of the Subcommittee I will go on to add some personal views
《產品環保責任條例》於2008年7月獲得立法會通過，旨在引入生產者責任計劃，以盡量減少各種產品對環境的影響。
The Product Eco - responsibility Ordinance Cap . 603 PERO was passed at the Council Meeting of July 2008 aiming to introduce mandatory PRSs so as to minimize the environmental impact of various types of products
特區政府在2010年就推行廢電器計劃進行公眾諮詢，結果顯示社會各界，包括環保回收業均普遍支持推行計劃。
In 2010 the HKSAR Government conducted a public consultation exercise on the introduction of producer responsibility scheme on waste electrical and electronic equipment WPRS . The feedback from all quarters of the community was generally supportive including the recycling industry
繼擴大塑膠購物袋環保徵費計劃後，當局於2015年3月將《2015年促進循環再造及妥善處置條例草案》提交本會。
Further to the extension of the Environmental Levy Scheme on Plastic Shopping Bags the authorities introduced to this Council the Promotion of Recycling and Proper Disposal Amendment Bill 2015 the Bill in March 2015
本會相應成立法案委員會進行審議，而我亦出任該法案委員會主席。
Accordingly a Bills Committee was appointed to scrutinize the Bill and I was the Chairman of the Bills Committee
《條例草案》的主要目的是制訂規管框架，以推行新的強制性生產者責任計劃，妥善管理本地產生的廢電器電子產品。
The Bill aimed mainly at putting in place a regulatory framework for implementing the new PRS for the proper management of WEEE generated in Hong Kong
計劃初期會涵蓋空調機、電冰箱、洗衣機、電視機及電腦產品這5類電器，業界俗稱"四電一腦"。
The scheme will initially cover five categories of electrical equipment namely air conditioners refrigerators washing machines television sets and computer products commonly referred to as WEEE by members of the industry
任何人在香港於本身業務過程中製造受管制電器或為分發受管制電器而將該電器輸入香港，便須登記為登記供應商。
Any person who manufactures regulated electrical equipment REE in Hong Kong in the course of the persons business or imports REE into Hong Kong for distribution has to be registered as registered suppliers
登記供應商須為受管制電器向消費者提供循環再造標籤，受管制電器銷售商亦必須提供除舊服務，即凡向消費者分發一件受管制電器，須按消費者要求，從指定處所移走另一件同類電器，以供妥善處置，而消費者無需支付額外費用。
Registered suppliers have to provide recycling labels to consumers in respect of REE while REE sellers have to provide removal services ie . for every piece of REE distributed to a consumer one piece of old REE can be removed from the premises designated by the consumer for proper disposal at no charge to the consumer
當局會向受管制電器的登記供應商收取循環再造費，以收回計劃的全部成本。
Recycling fees will be imposed on registered suppliers of REE to recover the full costs of the scheme
《條例草案》同時修訂《廢物處置條例》，將廢物處置發牌管制的範圍擴展至受管制電器廢物。
The Bill amended the Waste Disposal Ordinance WDO as well extending the waste disposal licensing control to the disposal of regulated e - waste
如果符合指定條件，簡單及小規模的拆解工序可獲豁免。
Simple dismantling process of regulated e - waste conducted on a small scale will be excluded if the specified conditions are met
環境保護署其後透過公開招標，與一家合資公司簽訂合約，設計、製造、營運上述設施，每年營運費用約2億元。
Subsequently the Environmental Protection Department after completing an open tender process signed a contract with a joint venture company for the design building and operation of the aforesaid WEEETRF and the annual operating cost is about 200 million
該設施已經在去年年初舉行動土典禮，預計在今年年中啟用，每年可處理及循環再造3萬公噸廢電器電子產品，約佔全港相關生產量43%，可有效支援相關生產者責任計劃的實施，增加本港將廢電器電子產品變成可再用物料，轉廢為材的能力。
The ground - breaking ceremony of the WEEETRF was held early last year . The WEEETRF expected to be commissioned in the middle of this year can treat and recycle 30 000 tonnes of WEEE per annum accounting for about 43 % of the relevant production across the territory . It can effectively support the implementation of the PRS concerned in converting WEEE into reusable materials so as to enhance Hong Kongs capability of turning waste into useful resources
顯而易見，當局如今提交本小組委員會審議的事項，正屬於所需後續工作的重要部分。
Apparently the matters currently brought forth by the authorities to this Subcommittee for scrutiny are an important part of the necessary follow - up work to be done
有關工作可分為兩方面說明。
I will elaborate on two areas the relevant work
其一，《生效日期公告》於今年4月21日刊登憲報，並於2017年4月26日提交立法會，按"先訂立後審議"程序處理。
First the Commencement Notice was published in the Gazette on 21 April 2017 and tabled before the Legislative Council on 26 April 2017 for negative vetting
《生效日期公告》旨在為廢電器計劃的進一步籌備工作建立基礎，包括賦權環境局局長訂立有關受管制電器供應商的登記申請及撤銷有關登記的規例，以及修訂《產品環保責任條例》相關附表載列的受管制電器清單，並就環境局局長對廢物處置批予的許可證、授權或牌照的費用事宜，修訂《廢物處置條例》。
The purpose of the Commencement Notice is to provide the necessary basis for further preparatory work for WPRS including empowering the Secretary for the Environment SEN to make regulations which concern the application for and cancellation of registration of suppliers of REE and amend relevant Schedules to PERO which contain the list of REE to which PERO applies and make amendments to WDO in relation to matters concerning fees for permits authorization or licences to be granted by the Secretary for the Environment for waste disposal
上述事項由《生效日期公告》的刊憲日期起生效。
The above provisions have commenced operation on the gazettal date of the Commencement Notice
同時，修訂《廢物處置條例》，加入"電器廢物"及其"處置"的定義，並訂明環境局局長可向申請人批予廢物處置牌照的情況，由今年6月19日起生效。
Meanwhile amendments to WDO to add the definitions of e - waste and disposal were made and the circumstances under which the Secretary for the Environment can grant a waste disposal licence to an applicant were prescribed which have commenced operation on 19 June of this year
第二，《受管制電器規例》旨在為《產品環保責任條例》下所須的運作細節訂定條文，主要事項是關於供應商的登記申請及對申請作出決定，登記供應商及銷售商就每類受管制電器提供循環再造標籤，每類受管制電器的循環再造徵費，登記供應商呈交申報須載有的資料，以及除舊服務方案的要求等。
Second the REE Regulation seeks to provide for the necessary operational details under PERO of which the key issues concern the following applications for registration by suppliers and the determination of the applications provision of recycling labels for each class of REE by registered suppliers and sellers recycling levy for each class of REE payment of recycling levies by registered suppliers submission of information to be contained in the returns by registered suppliers requirements of the removal service plan and etc
環境局局長本來已作出預告，打算在5月24日的立法會大會上動議議案，要求本會批准《受管制電器規例》，其後應內務委員會的要求撤回有關議案，讓小組委員會有時間詳細研究。
Originally the Secretary for the Environment had given notice to move a motion at the Council meeting of 24 May for this Council to approve the REE Regulation but the notice was withdrawn later on at the request of the House Committee so as to allow more time for detailed deliberation by the Subcommittee
不過，我必須指出，有關當局在推行生產者責任計劃和廢電器計劃方面，仍須加強與相關業界的溝通，務求訂立務實可行的方案。
I must point out however it is imperative that the authorities enhance communications with relevant industries in respect of the implementation of PRS and WPRS in order to draw up practicable and viable options
《生效日期公告》及《受管制電器規例》是整個推行計劃的重要部分，政府當局擬於今年6月19日起接受電器廢物處置牌照的申請，並計劃在今年年底開始，對未領有牌照而處置電器廢物實施禁制。
Both the Commencement Notice and the REE Regulation are the essential parts of the entire scheme to be implemented . The Administration intends to accept applications for waste disposal licences in respect of e - waste from 19 June this year with a view to commencing the prohibition against disposal of e - waste without a licence tentatively by the end of this year
我曾經向當局表示，從相關下游作業規劃的草擬、立法會的審議至生效，到各項配套措施的落實，涉及多方面，短短半年時間是否務實可行的目標，特別是給予環保回收業界的適應期是否足夠呢？
I had told the authorities that various aspects will be involved throughout the entire process from the planning of operations in the downstream of the relevant industries to the scrutiny and commencement of operation of the Bill and even the implementation of complementary measures . Taking this into consideration will it be practically viable for the entire process to complete in six months? . In particular is the recycling industry given enough time as an adaptation?
如果大家有留意小組委員會在本星期二舉行的第二次會議，聽到出席會議的業界部分團體代表的意見，就會認為我的質疑正反映業界的聲音。
Well upon taking note of the views expressed by some of the attending deputations of the industry at the second meeting of this Subcommittee held this Tuesday you will deem my such query a precise reflection of the industrys view
我及林健鋒議員和梁志祥議員亦曾在兩天前與一些業界人士會面，進一步聽取他們的訴求和意見。
In fact Mr Jeffrey LAM Mr LEUNG Che - cheung and myself met some members of the industry a couple of days ago to further heed their demands and views
然而，正如我在主持小組委員會時指出，儘管主體法例涵蓋整個環保回收業的供應鏈，但《生效日期公告》及《受管制電器規例》主要針對供應鏈的上游，即有關受管制電器供應商的登記申請，以及除舊服務方面的要求等事宜，而業界部分團體代表所反映的意見，則來自供應鏈的下游，超出本小組委員會的處理權限。
Yet as I have pointed out while chairing meetings of this Subcommittee the principal legislation covers the entire supply chain of the recycling industry but the Commencement Notice and the REE Regulation mainly deal with the upstream of the supply chain in respect of matters concerning applications for registration by REE suppliers and the requirements on removal service . Nevertheless the views relayed by some of the deputations of the industry came from the downstream of the supply chain and are thus beyond the vires of this Subcommittee
主席，與下游相關的業界如何過渡到新安排，並且繼續暢順運作，政府必須重視。
President the Government must attach a great deal of importance to making arrangements to facilitate continuance of smooth operations of the relevant industries at downstream after the transition
