整件事件只在於特首和周議員......應該說是梁振英先生和周議員有否好像我剛才所說，就提交和處理文件做足工夫。
The whole incident is whether the Chief Executive and Mr CHOW I should say whether Mr LEUNG Chun - ying and Mr CHOW had as pointed out by me just now taken appropriate actions in respect of the submission and handling of the document
今次事件談不上半點干預，遑論事關嚴重違法或嚴重瀆職而要彈劾行政長官。
The current incident does not involve the issue of interference let alone serious breach of law or dereliction of duty to warrant the impeachment of the Chief Executive
主席，在這次議案辯論中，部分反對派議員的論述實在令人大開眼界。
President in this motion debate the remarks made by some opposition Members are really an eye - opener
有位議員說：這只是調查，調查也不行？
A Member said This is just an investigation why is it not possible?
調查有何不可？
What is wrong with an investigation?
這種說法如非出於完全不掌握根據《基本法》第七十三條第九項提出的議案的性質，便是存心誤導大家。
Members who make this remark either completely fail to understand the nature of the motion initiated under Article 739 of the Basic Law or they have the ulterior motive to mislead people
《基本法》第七十三條第九項的議案是要啟動彈劾行政長官的機制，不是"只是調查"這麼簡單。
A motion under Article 739 of the Basic Law is to initiate the mechanism to impeach the Chief Executive; it is not as simple as a mere investigation
調查只是其中一部分，除此還有有不少後着，最終是要達到行政長官下台的效果。
Investigation is just a part of the procedure; other actions have to be taken leading to the final step of the stepping down of the Chief Executive
如果議員完全不掌握這議案的性質便支持，甚至發言支持，這實在令人驚恐。
If Members support the motion or even speak in support of the motion without fully understanding its nature the result is indeed horrifying
如果他是已掌握議案的性質而發言誤導，便更加不堪。
If a Member who well understands the nature of the motion and speaks to mislead others it will be even worse
另一位議員說特首不得民心，社會不喜歡他，所以應該支持議案，彈劾行政長官。
Another Member said that as the Chief Executive was unpopular and members of the public disliked him the motion to impeach him should be supported
這種說法的意思是：因為社會不喜歡當事人，所以無論理據和證據是否充分都應該支持議案。
The implication of this remark is as the subject of inquiry is not well - liked by society hence the motion should be supported regardless of whether there is sufficient justification and evidence
這種近乎幼稚的不成熟說法非常危險，亦正正印證了這次是利用彈劾程序作為政治打擊的工具。
This kind of remark which is immature or even close to naïve is very dangerous; it well illustrates that the impeachment procedure is being exploited as a tool of political attack
另有一眾反對派議員說，這是按照法律賦予立法會的權力而啟動的程序，所以並無不妥，目的是要挽回立法會的尊嚴。
According to some other opposition Members as the procedure was initiated in accordance with the authority conferred to the Legislative Council by law there was nothing improper and the purpose was to regain the dignity of the legislature
這種說法的謬誤之處，其一在於《基本法》第七十三條第九項並不是要維護立法會的尊嚴，而是在行政長官實質上涉及嚴重違法行為或嚴重瀆職行為的情況下啟動彈劾程序；其二，反對派的"拉布"行為禍害社會，可是哪一項不是按法律和規則提出的？
The fallacy of this argument is first the purpose of Article 739 of the Basic Law is not to uphold the dignity of the Legislative Council but to provide for the initiation of the impeachment procedure when the Chief Executive is charged with serious breach of law or dereliction of duty; second opposition camps filibustering has brought harm to society yet they are conducted in compliance with laws and rules
那些意圖打擊基建的司法覆核，哪一宗不是按法律提出的？
For those judicial reviews that aim to obstruct infrastructure projects which one of them are not filed in accordance with the law?
這並不代表法律不被利用成為政治工具。
This does not mean that the law will not be exploited as a political tool
這正正是兩屆首席大法官語重深長地要大家慎防的情況。
This is precisely the situation that the Chief Justices of two terms of Government had sincerely reminded us to watch out
在4年前，反對派議員企圖啟動彈劾機制，誓與特首不兩立，對峙僵局禍延至今，也影響了本會審議經濟民生事項的正常運作。
Four years ago Members of the opposition camp attempted to initiate the impeachment mechanism and vowed to be antagonistic towards the Chief Executive . Today we are still affected by the impasse and the normal operation of this Council in considering economic and livelihood affairs has also been undermined
如果反對派繼續抱着政治鬥爭壓倒一切的態度處事，只會把香港變成一池死水。
If the opposition camp still adopts the attitude of political struggle surpassing everything the development of Hong Kong will be stagnant
主席，立法會按《基本法》第七十三條第九項行使彈劾特首的權力，是一項嚴肅的憲制行為，絕非兒戲，不應輕易或隨便啟動。
President it is a solemn constitutional act for the Legislative Council to exercise its power to impeach the Chief Executive under Article 739 of the Basic Law . Such a power is no trifling matter and should not be exercised lightly or wilfully
但是，反對派一再濫用《基本法》的彈劾機制，非但不尊重議會本身，更是不負責任的行為。
However the opposition camp has time and again abused the impeachment mechanism under the Basic Law; it not only disrespects the legislature but also acts irresponsibly
《條例草案》的目的，是修訂《稅務條例》，以便為在香港營運的合資格私募基金所分發的附帶權益提供稅務寬減。近年，私募基金越來越受投資者歡迎，大大推動香港的資產和財富管理業增長。私募基金有別於其他基金，會把資本、人才和專業知識引入私人公司，尤其是創新科技界的初創企業。
The Bill aims to amend the Inland Revenue Ordinance to provide tax concessions for carried interest distributed by eligible private equity PE funds operating in Hong Kong
主席，最新經季節性調整的失業率為百分之六點六，創16年高位，而失業及就業不足人數分別高達24萬及13萬。
President the latest seasonally adjusted unemployment rate is 6.6 % hitting a record high in 16 years with the numbers of unemployed and underemployed persons reaching as high as 240 000 and 130 000 respectively
有調查結果顯示，逾六成受訪者表示在疫情下收入減少及可能失業。
As shown in the findings of a survey over 60 % of the respondents indicated that amid the epidemic their income had decreased and that they might lose their jobs
年關將至，企業結業及裁員潮可能一觸即發。
With the Lunar New Year approaching waves of businesses closing down and layoffs may spark off anytime
主席，就議員的質詢，經諮詢相關政策局及部門後，我現綜合答覆如下： 剛公布的2020年10月至12月經季節性調整失業率，較2020年9月至11月上升0.3個百分點至6.6%。
President in consultation with relevant bureaux and departments my consolidated reply to the Members question is as follows As recently released the seasonally adjusted unemployment rate rose by 0.3 percentage point from September to November 2020 to 6.6 % in October to December 2020
歷年12月香港的經濟一般較旺盛，所以失業率在12月通常會向下調整；但是去年12月本港正值2019冠狀病毒病第四波疫情高峰期，加上"保就業"計劃結束，因此當 失業率上升，經季節性調整的失業率會較實際出現較大差異。
The unemployment rate usually went down in December over the years as Hong Kongs economy was generally more robust in the same month . However the fourth wave of the Coronavirus Disease 2019 epidemic was at its peak in Hong Kong in December last year and the Employment Support Scheme has ended . Therefore when the unemployment rate picked up the seasonally adjusted unemployment rate deviated more substantially from the actual situation
2020年10月至12月的失業人數較2020年9月至11月上升1,500人，相當於勞動人口的約0.04%。
Compared to September to November 2020 the number of unemployed persons increased by 1 500 in October to December 2020
雖然如此，因應第四波疫情持續反覆，亦嚴重影響香港經濟狀況及勞工市場，特區政府一方面密切留意實際情況變化，另一方面有責任繼續探討加強援助失業人士及其家庭。
Nonetheless in view of the continuous fluctuations of the fourth wave of the epidemic which has seriously affected Hong Kongs economy and labour market the HKSAR Government will keep in view changes of the actual circumstances and strive to keep on exploring ways to strengthen assistance for the unemployed and their families
因應疫情為香港就業情況及整體經濟帶來的嚴峻挑戰，政府在過去一年透過一系列措施創造及穩定就業，包括迅速推出防疫抗疫基金，既提升整體防疫抗疫能力，亦向受疫情重創或受防疫抗疫和社交距離措施影響的行業和市民提供適切援助。
Over the past year in light of the tremendous challenges brought about by the epidemic to Hong Kongs employment situation and overall economy the Government has implemented a host of measures to create and stabilize job opportunities . We expeditiously introduced the Anti - epidemic Fund AEF not just to enhance Hong Kongs overall anti - epidemic capability but also provide suitable relief to sectors and individuals hard - hit by the epidemic or affected by the anti - epidemic and social distancing measures
計及政府為基金注資，連同2020-2021年度政府財政預算案涉及的紓困措施，總財政承擔超過3,000億元，相當於本地生產總值約11%。
Coupled with the Governments injection into AEF and relief measures under the 2020 - 2021 Budget a financial commitment totalling over 300 billion which represents about 11 % of the Gross Domestic Product has been incurred
財政司司長預計，今個財政年度的綜合赤字會由原來預算的1,391億元急升至3,000億元水平，財政儲備則降至8,000多億元，相當於12至13個月的政府開支，接近2003年SARS後的水平。
The Financial Secretary anticipated that the consolidated deficit for the current financial year will surge from the original estimate of 139.1 billion to about 300 billion whereas fiscal reserves will drop to around 800 billion equivalent to 12 to 13 months of government expenditure and close to the level after the SARS epidemic in 2003
政府仍會視乎疫情發展及不同行業的情況，檢視紓困措施的效用，並在有需要時推出優化措施。
The Government will having regard to the development of the epidemic and the situation of different sectors review the effectiveness of the relief measures and introduce enhancements if needed
其中，防疫抗疫基金已預留款項，在兩年內創造有時限的職位。
Funding under AEF has been earmarked to create time - limited jobs within two years
截至2020年12月底，在創造職位計劃下已開設了約31,000個職位，於政府及非政府界別開設的職位各佔約一半。
As at end - December 2020 around 31 000 jobs have been created under the Job Creation Scheme of which those jobs created in the Government and in the non - governmental sector are approximately equal in proportion
當中約14,000個已入職，而餘下約17,000個的招聘工作已經或快將展開。
Among these jobs around 14 000 have been filled while the recruitment of the remaining 17 000 has already commenced or will commence shortly
另一方面，今年1月8日，我們亦推出了有2,000個名額的大灣區青年就業計劃。
In addition we rolled out the Greater Bay Area Youth Employment Scheme on 8 January this year with 2 000 places
截至1月底，已有超過170間企業向計劃秘書處登記，表示有意參與計劃及提供1,100個職位空缺。
As at end - January more than 170 enterprises have registered with the schemes secretariat to express their interest in joining the scheme offering a total of 1 100 job vacancies
經審核後的空缺已陸續上載至計劃的專題網站供畢業生申請。
The vetted vacancies are being uploaded to the schemes dedicated website by batches for graduates to apply
另一方面，綜合社會保障援助計劃一直有效地發揮其安全網功能。
Separately the Comprehensive Social Security Assistance CSSA Scheme has all along served its function as a safety net effectively
隨着本港失業率由2019年年底開始上升，失業綜援個案亦開始增加，截至2020年12月底的過去12個月，失業綜援個案總數增加近55%，可見綜援計劃能適切協助失業人士。
With the local unemployment rate continuing to rise since late 2019 the number of CSSA unemployment cases has also increased . Over the past 12 months the total number of CSSA unemployment cases has recorded a nearly 55 % increase which shows that the CSSA Scheme has been providing necessary assistance to the unemployed
為更針對性地協助因失業而面對即時經濟困難的人士及其家庭，政府於2020年6月1日在綜援計劃下設立為期1年的援助失業人士特別計劃，把適用於身體健全人士的資產上限暫時放寬1倍。
The Government has launched the Special Scheme of Assistance to the Unemployed under the CSSA Scheme on 1 June 2020 for a period of one year to temporarily relax the asset limits for able - bodied persons by 100 %
政府亦於2021年1月獲立法會財務委員會批准，由2021年4月1日至9月30日的6個月期間，在特別計劃下推行另一項有時限新安排，不把身體健全綜援申請人的保險計劃現金價值計算為資產，豁免期為1年。
To render further support to the unemployed the Government sought approval from the Legislative Council Finance Committee in January 2021 to implement another time - limited new arrangement under the special scheme during the six months of 1 April to 30 September 2021 . Specifically the cash value of insurance policies of able - bodied CSSA applicants will not be counted as assets during the grace period of one year
僱員再培訓局推出的"特別․愛增值"計劃，效果尤為顯著。
The effectiveness of the Love Upgrading Special Scheme launched by the Employees Retraining Board ERB is particularly impressive
再培訓局分別於2019年10月及2020年7月分別推出第一期及第二期計劃，讓參加的學員自由選擇再培訓課程。
ERB launched Phase 1 and Phase 2 of the Love Upgrading Special Scheme in October 2019 and July 2020 respectively enabling participating trainees to receive retraining of their own choices
學員培訓期間可獲的最高津貼額，亦於2020年5月起由每月4,000元，大幅增加至每月5,800元。
The maximum amount of monthly allowance per trainee during the training period has substantially increased from 4,000 to 5,800 starting from May 2020
再培訓局已於2021年1月推出第三期"特別․愛增值"計劃，學員名額更倍增至2萬個。
ERB has launched Phase 3 of the Love Upgrading Special Scheme in January 2021 with a doubled quota for 20 000 trainees
再培訓局亦會繼續透過恆常培訓課程的每年約14萬個名額，協助失業及就業不足人士。
ERB will also continue to assist the unemployed and underemployed by providing around 140 000 places yearly through its regular training courses
勞工處已於2020年9月開始，調升在中高齡就業計劃、展翅青見計劃及就業展才能計劃下僱主可獲發放的在職培訓津貼金額上限，以進一步鼓勵僱主聘用中高齡人士、青年人及殘疾人士，並為他們提供在職培訓。
The Labour Department LD has starting from September 2020 raised the ceiling of on - the - job training OJT allowance payable to employers under the Employment Programme for the Elderly and Middle - aged the Youth Employment and Training Programme and the Work Orientation and Placement Scheme with a view to further encouraging employers to hire the elderly and middle - aged young people and persons with disabilities and provide them with OJT
勞工處同時以試點方式，向參加這些就業計劃的合資格人士發放留任津貼，鼓勵他們完成在職培訓，從而穩定就業。
LD also launched a pilot scheme concurrently to encourage eligible persons to complete OJT under the above employment programmes through the provision of a retention allowance thereby stabilizing employment
此外，關愛基金已於去年7月推出第一輪的"非公屋、非綜援的低收入住戶一次過生活津貼"項目及9月推出"低收入家庭的新來港定居成員一次過津貼"計劃，並剛於本年1月推出第二輪的生活津貼項目。
In addition the Community Care Fund has launched the first round of the One - off Living Subsidy for Low - income Households Not Living in Public Housing and Not Receiving Comprehensive Social Security Assistance Programme and the One - off Allowance for New Arrivals from Low - income Families Programme in July and September 2020 respectively . The second round of the Living Subsidy Programme has just been rolled out in January 2021
以上項目涉及的開支預算合共約47億元。
The total budget of the above Programmes amounts to around 4.7 billion
除上述短期支援外，根據《僱傭條例》，按連續性合約受僱的僱員如被僱主解僱，並符合指定情況及所需的服務年資，可享有遣散費或長期服務金，最高款額為39萬元，可為受影響僱員提供經濟支援，有助紓緩他們因失去工作而面臨的財政壓力。
In addition to the above short - term assistance according to the Employment Ordinance if an employee who has been employed under a continuous contract is dismissed and meets the specified conditions and the qualifying length of service heshe is entitled to severance payment SP or long service payment LSP . The maximum amount of SP and LSP is 390,000 . These provisions would provide economic support to the employees concerned to help alleviate their financial hardship caused by the loss of employment
政府目前沒有即收即付的稅務系統、供款的社會保險制度或中央公積金制度，亦未能充分掌握所有僱員的詳細稅務資料，如要推行全新的失業援助制度，我們先要把它與現有的遣散費及長期服務金制度一併考慮，並思考、分析相關制度變化對僱主及僱員的行為以至整體經濟的影響，以及如何應付大量行政及防止濫用工作所需的資源，需要認真及詳細的研究和社會討論。
Since there are currently no systems such as pay - as - you - go income tax system contributory social insurance system or central provident fund system in place and the Government cannot obtain detailed tax information of all employees in Hong Kong the implementation of a new unemployment assistance system will require serious and thorough deliberation as well as public discussion . Apart from considering the new system in tandem with the existing SP and LSP systems we have to look into and evaluate the impacts of such a systemic change on the conduct of employers and employees as well as the overall economy and the ways to meet the resources required for the substantial work arising from system administration and abuse prevention
至於有關設立有時限性的失業援助金制度的建議，正如我在上文提到，綜援計劃連同上述多項涵蓋面廣闊的短期措施，在疫情和經濟下行時，協助失業人士及其家庭渡過短暫經濟難關，因此另設臨時失業援助金相當大程度會與各項現行措施重疊。
Regarding the suggestion on introducing a time - limited unemployment assistance system as I have mentioned above the CSSA Scheme as well as the aforesaid short - term measures with wide coverage have assisted unemployed persons and their families in tiding over short - term financial difficulties during the epidemic and economic downturn . Therefore the temporary unemployment assistance if provided will overlap with these existing measures
況且，根據過往經驗，建議中所謂"臨時"性質的失業援助金，能否於短時間內結束亦是不容樂觀。
Moreover according to past experience we should not be optimistic that the proposed so - called temporary unemployment assistance could complete within a short time
無論如何，我們會繼續聆聽社會不同聲音，並會繼續按照形勢發展及需要，加強為失業人士及其家庭提供更多援助。
In any case we will continue to listen to members of the public and provide more assistance for the unemployed and their families in the light of the development and needs
如有實質進展，我們會盡快向公眾並到立法會交代。
Once concrete progress is made we will make it known to the public and report to the Legislative Council
種種變化對整個制度、經濟體系及勞工市場的影響深遠，政府有責任深思熟慮。
As every change may carry far - reaching implications for the whole system economy and labour market the Government has to think carefully
主席，局長剛才表示疫情反覆，沒有人知道經濟何時會復蘇，失業人士的生活則越來越困難，大家擔心春節過後會出現裁員結業潮。
President given the fluctuating epidemic situation as mentioned by the Secretary just now no one knows when the economy will recover . The lives of the unemployed are going from bad to worse . People are worried that waves of businesses closing down and layoffs may emerge after the Lunar New Year
其實勞資雙方，甚至政黨均支持緊急推行失業援助金計劃，經過運算，非經常開支預算約是130多億元。
In fact employers employees and even political parties support the urgent implementation of the unemployment assistance scheme . After calculation the estimated non - recurrent expenditure is some 13 billion
如有實質進展，我們會盡快向公眾並到立法會交代"。
Once concrete progress is made we will make it known to the public and report to the Legislative Council
不過，正如我在主體答覆所說，當政府就項目優化或新增項目有實質進展時，會盡快向公眾並到立法會交代。
However as stated in my main reply once concrete progress is made in the introduction of enhancements or new measures the Government will make it known to the public and report to the Legislative Council
短期失業援助金計劃在議會內已取得很大共識，除了我和勞工界，在座的商界代表也贊成。
The short - term unemployment assistance scheme has reached a broad consensus in the legislature . Apart from me and the labour sector the attending representatives from the business sector have also expressed support
局長，你要等到多少市民失業才願意推行計劃，是否要等到失業率雙位數時才肯採取行動？
Secretary how many more people have to lose their jobs before you consider implementing the scheme? . Does the unemployment rate have to hit double - digit figures before you consider taking action?
讓我再一次澄清，我剛才在主體答覆說，2020年10月至12月的失業人數較2020年9月至11月上升1,500人。
Let me clarify again . As stated in my main reply just now compared to September to November 2020 the number of unemployed persons increased by 1 500 in October to December 2020
局長在主體答覆中表示，已開設31000個臨時職位，但後續部分才是關鍵所在："當中約14000個已入職，而餘下約17000個的招聘工作已經或快將展開"。
The Secretary stated in his main reply that 31 000 temporary jobs have been created but the subsequent part is material Among these jobs around 14 000 have been filled while the recruitment of the remaining 17 000 has already commenced or will commence shortly
議員和政府當局都認同年關過後，失業人數會進一步增加。
Members and the Administration both anticipated a further increase in the number of unemployed persons after the Lunar New Year
我的補充質詢是：為甚麼當局只開設31000個臨時職位，數目遠遠不及2003年SARS時所開設的臨時職位數目？
My supplementary question is Why did the authorities create only 31 000 temporary jobs which is far lower than the number of temporary jobs created during the SARS epidemic in 2003?
主席，就進一步的工作，正如我剛才回覆其他議員的補充質詢時提到，我們會按照形勢發展、招聘情況和反應，在有需要時認真考慮是否增加名額。
President regarding the next steps as mentioned in my reply to the supplementary questions raised by other Members just now we will carefully consider increasing the quota when necessary in the light of the development recruitment situation and response
主席，我想問局長，現時失業人數較之前多了10萬人，是實質的增長，還未計算無故"蒸發"了的10萬名勞動人口，即顯性和隱性的失業人數合共增加了20萬人。
President I would like to ask the Secretary Now the number of unemployed persons has increased by 100 000 which is an actual growth not counting the 100 000 who have disappeared from the labour force for no reason . That means the total number of unemployed persons whether overt or hidden has increased by 200 000
我不希望繼續被人批評我像錄音機般不斷重複政府的有關立場。
I do not want to be criticized for repeating the Governments position like an audio recorder
不過，議員剛才的補充質詢觸及我們經常希望澄清的事實，就是很多人誤會有工作的人不可以申請綜援，或正領取綜援的人不可以工 作。
However the supplementary question raised by the Member just now touched on a subject which we have always wanted to clarify ie . many people may have misconceptions that those who are engaged in jobs are not eligible for CSSA or those who are on CSSA are not eligible to engage in jobs
該計劃提供短期支援，而數額亦不多於政府現時推行的"保就業"計劃。
The scheme will provide short - term support and will cost less than the amount spent on the Governments current Employment Support Scheme
既然如此，為何局長說推行一些新的失業援助計劃會顛覆政府的整體政策？
As such why did the Secretary say that the introduction of a new unemployment assistance scheme would subvert the overall government policy?
在這個過程中，部分員工需要轉行，我相信這是在所難免的。
In the restructuring process I believe it is inevitable that some employees will have to switch to other trades
不過，就議員剛才提到的問題，我希望引述一些資料，讓大家明白推行臨時失業援助金的考慮。
However with regard to the problem mentioned by the Member just now I wish to cite some statistics so that Members can understand our concern over the introduction of the temporary unemployment assistance
當然，英國的情況十分不同，儘管同是失業援助金，但英國的失業援助金相等於香港的綜援標準金額，低於本港的平均金額。
Of course the situation is very different in Britain . The rate of unemployment assistance in Britain is equivalent to the standard CSSA rate in Hong Kong and lower than the average rate of our unemployment assistance
自去年2月以來，政府為應對疫情而陸續關閉大部分口岸，以致跨境旅客數目劇降，跨境客運業務停擺。
Since February last year the Government has closed most of the boundary control points one after another to cope with the epidemic resulting in the number of cross - boundary travellers plunging and cross - boundary passenger service business coming to a standstill
有跨境客運服務營辦商指出，雖然政府曾在第一輪紓困措施下按運輸工具數目給予營辦商一筆過補貼，但只屬杯水車薪。
Some cross - boundary passenger service operators operators have pointed out that while the Government did provide operators with a one - off subsidy based on the number of conveyances under the first - round relief measures the subsidy was just a drop in the bucket
各營辦商在過去一年零收入，但仍要支付經常性開支，儲備耗盡又借貸無門，正處於山窮水盡的狀況。
As the various operators had to meet overheads despite having zero income during the past year they have used up their reserves and have no way to borrow money and are at the end of their tether
主席，就易志明議員的提問，我現綜合答覆如下。
President my consolidated reply to Mr Frankie YICKs question is as follows
跨境陸路和渡輪客運服務是運輸交通網絡的重要組成部分，有助促進香港與內地及澳門的聯繫，推動粵港澳大灣區的發展。
Cross - boundary land - based and ferry passenger services being key components of the transport and traffic network are conducive to promoting the connectivity between Hong Kong and the Mainland and Macao as well as facilitating the development of the Guangdong - Hong Kong - Macao Greater Bay Area
政府一直密切監察跨境客運服務的營運及服務量，以確保營辦商提供的服務能滿足市民的需求，包括： i 提供往來香港與內地及澳門點到點的粵港和港澳跨境巴士服務； 提供較高端和個人化的跨境點對點接送服務的跨境出租汽車；及 往來香港與澳門及多個內地城市的跨境渡輪。
The Government has been closely monitoring the operation and provision of cross - boundary passenger services to ensure that the services provided by operators can meet the demands of the community which include i GuangdongHong Kong and Hong KongMacao cross - boundary coach CBC services providing point - to - point connection between Hong Kong and the Mainland as well as Macao; ii cross - boundary hire cars providing higher - end and more personalized cross - boundary point - to - point transport services; and iii cross - boundary ferries plying between Hong Kong and Macao as well as a number of the Mainland cities
因應新型冠狀病毒病疫情的發展，粵港澳三地政府一直在聯防聯控的機制下採取適當的對應措施。
In response to the development of COVID - 19 the governments of Guangdong Hong Kong and Macao have been taking appropriate measures under the cooperation mechanism on joint prevention and control of the epidemic
受有關防疫抗疫措施所影響，跨境陸路服務由2020年2月起只提供有限度服務，跨境渡輪客運服務則告全面暫停。
Impacted by the anti - epidemic measures only limited cross - boundary land - based services have been provided since February 2020 while cross - boundary ferry services have been completely halted
我們明白持續的疫情嚴重影響跨境客運業界及從業員的生計。
We understand that the ongoing epidemic is seriously affecting the livelihood of the cross - boundary passenger transport trade and its employees
目前新型冠狀病毒病疫情仍然非常嚴峻，跨境客運礙於疫情未能恢復正常運作。
Since the epidemic situation is still very severe at present the normal operation of cross - boundary passenger services cannot be resumed
我們一直與跨境客運業界保持緊密溝通，深切明白業界希望能盡快復業。
We have been maintaining close communication with the cross - boundary passenger transport trade and fully understand the trades wish to resume its operation as soon as possible
為此，粵港澳三地政府一直保持聯繫，以期疫情受到控制時，盡快讓三地人員跨境流動，使跨境客運服務業得以恢復營運。
In this regard the governments of Guangdong Hong Kong and Macao have been maintaining liaison so that once the epidemic situation is under control the cross - boundary people flow amongst the three places can be enabled as soon as possible and the cross - boundary passenger transport service trade can also resume its operation
