民主黨今天提出這項議案，無非為了造勢，又或是已經編好劇本，把他們的訴求強加於七一遊行的市民身上。
Clearly the Democratic Party moves this motion today to rally support for the upcoming procession; or they must have already prepared the script for the 1 July march so that they can impose their own aspirations on the participants
今天仍是6月尾，大家應該還未知道屆時市民有甚麼訴求，但在座已發言的數位議員剛才卻言之鑿鑿，令我還以為已經過了七一，所以他們能夠把訴求一一道出，這正好證明他們已經編好了劇本。
We are still in late June today and supposedly we should not know what the peoples aspirations are on 1 July . Yet some Members who have just spoken were talking about those aspirations so emphatically that I almost thought I July had past and hence they could recount the aspirations in detail . It just shows that they have already written the script for the 1 July march
民主黨的原議案強調"港人治港"，於是我便上網搜尋"七一遊行"、"港人治港"等字眼。
Given the emphasis on the principle of Hong Kong people administering Hong Kong in the original motion of the Democratic Party I performed a keyword search for phrases like 1 July march and Hong Kong people administering Hong Kong on the Internet
我看到一些媒體報道的報章標題："港人要治港，踢走白鴿黨"，這是七一遊行的其中一個市民訴求。
I found some press reports with the following headline Oust the Pigeon Party for Hong Kong people administering Hong Kong . This is also one of the peoples aspirations for the 1 July march
主席，我以"與港珠澳大橋交通安排相關的技術性法例修訂小組委員會"主席的身份作出報告。小組委員會舉 行了兩次會議，審議相關的技術性法例修訂，當中包括局長剛才所動議的擬議決議案，以及6項須進行"先訂立後審議"程序的附屬法例。
President I report in my capacity as Chairman of the Subcommittee on Technical Legislative Amendments on Traffic Arrangements for the Hong Kong - Zhuhai - Macao Bridge which has held two meetings to scrutinize the relevant technical legislative amendments including the proposed resolution moved by the Secretary just now and six items of subsidiary legislation subject to the negative vetting procedure
小組委員會支持各項技術性法例修訂。
The Subcommittee supports the technical legislative amendments
一如局長發言時指出，6項附屬法例的審議期已在6月14日屆滿，政府當局及本會議員均沒有提出任何修訂。
As pointed out by the Secretary in his speech the vetting period of the six items of subsidiary legislation already expired on 14 June . Neither the Administration nor any Member of this Council has proposed any amendment
為配合相關修訂，當局根據《定額罰款條例》第12條，提交上述擬議決議案。
In tandem with such amendments the Administration has tabled the said proposed resolution under section 12 of the Fixed Penalty Ordinance Cap
小組委員會審議了擬議決議案就該條例附表所作的修訂，當中包括把適用於"右上左落"快速公路的駕駛罪行加入為表列罪行。
240 . The Subcommittee has scrutinized the proposed resolutions amendments to the Schedule to that Ordinance including the introduction of appropriate driving offences on a right - driving expressway as scheduled offences
委員注意到，根據第64號法律公告，"靠右駛快速公路"被界定為根據《道路交通條例》第1231條指定為快速公路的香港連接路的路段。
It has come to the attention of members that under LN . 64 right - driving expressway is defined as the section of HKLR that is designated as an expressway under section 1231 of the Road Traffic Ordinance Cap . 374
就此，當局在回應小組委員會的查詢時表示，將會在第64號法律公告及擬議決議案的相關修訂於2017年12月15日生效前，根據第374章第1231條，藉憲報公告指定香港連接路的相關路段為快速公路。
In this connection the Administration has stated in response to the Subcommittees enquiry that it will pursuant to section 1231 of Cap . 374 designate by notice published in the Gazette the relevant section of HKLR as an expressway before the commencement of LN . 64 and the relevant amendments contained in the proposed resolution on 15 December 2017
在審議期間，委員就香港連接路"右上左落"的行車安排和相關配套措施作出詳細討論。
During the Subcommittees scrutiny members discussed in detail the right - driving arrangement on HKLR and the related ancillary measures
委員普遍同意，由於大橋主橋和香港連接路在邊境的交接點是一段時速高達100公里的快速公路，若要在該交接點轉換行車安排，車輛將需要在高速行車的情況下切線，此舉並不可取。
Given that the connection point of the HZMB Main Bridge and HKLR at the boundary is an expressway with a speed limit of 100 kmh members generally agree that switching of driving arrangements at the connection point is not preferable as vehicles will need to change lanes while moving at high speed
委員認為合適的做法是在香港口岸進行銜接，讓駕駛者透過合適的道路設施改行正確的行車線。
They consider it appropriate to arrange for the interface of driving arrangements at the Hong Kong Boundary Crossing Facilities HKBCF so that with suitable road facilities motorists will be diverted to the correct lanes
就此，委員察悉，當局會在香港口岸的車輛通關廣場以北，設置合適的道路設施，使兩種行車安排得以安全銜接。
In this regard they have noted that the Administration will provide suitable road facilities to the north of the vehicle clearance plaza at HKBCF to ensure a safe interface of the two driving arrangements
政府當局亦會就有關的交通安排印製單張，以及在運輸署網頁登載有關資料，讓駕駛者了解。
The Administration will also publish pamphlets and post relevant information on the website of the Transport Department to apprise motorists of the traffic arrangements in question
我很感謝局長，過去數年來，大家都看到他非常勤力，雖然遇到很多困難和挑戰，他仍然迎難而上，一直非常盡心盡力為香港服務。
I am really grateful to the Secretary . Over the past few years as everyone has seen he has been very hard - working . While he has encountered many difficulties and challenges he has taken the bull by the horns and has always put his heart and soul into serving Hong Kong
我感謝張局長為香港服務。
I thank Secretary Prof Anthony CHEUNG for his service to Hong Kong
雖然委員在討論過程中有不同理解，但經過詳細討論後，委員均接受這個安排，這是我很高興看到的。
Although members had different interpretations of this arrangement during discussions they have accepted this arrangement after discussing it in detail . I am very glad to see this
在興建大橋的過程中，出現了不少工程挑戰，亦有很多出乎意料的事情發生，例如司法覆核、石屎問題、人工島飄移等。
In the process of building HZMB there have been many construction challenges and unexpected happenings such as a judicial review the problem with concrete and the drifting of the artificial island
雖然大橋預定在今年年底達致通車條件，但我希望政府當局能在確保一切均屬安全及可以接受的情況下，才讓大橋通車。
While HZMB is expected to achieve readiness for commissioning by the end of this year I hope the Administration can ensure that everything is safe and acceptable before allowing the commissioning of HZMB
今天《東方日報》報道人工島有數個鋼筒向外伸延，我們非常關注這會否影響大橋的通車安排。
It is reported in Oriental Daily News today that several steel cells of the artificial island have been stretched outwards . We are very concerned about whether this will affect the commissioning of HZMB
我認為政府部門應多作新嘗試，例如這次的不浚挖式填海，又或在整個建設過程中採用各種不同方法。
As I see it government departments should make more new endeavours such as the carrying out of non - dredged reclamation this time or the adoption of different methods throughout the whole construction process
即使"右上左落"的行車安排可能會引起爭議，但政府仍然願意實行，我覺得這是政府應有之義。
Even though the right - driving arrangement may cause controversy the Government is still willing to implement it . This is in my opinion what the Government ought to do
因此，我支持有關法例和有關修訂。
I thus support the relevant legislation and amendments
如果沒有，我現在請運輸及房屋局局長答辯。
If not I now call upon the Secretary for Transport and Housing to reply
代理主席，"一國兩制"是國家對香港的莊嚴承諾，對世界的莊嚴承諾。
Deputy President one country two systems is a solemn promise made by our country to Hong Kong as well as to the world
香港的身份是中國的一個特區，有"一國"，便有"兩制"，沒有"一國"，便沒有"兩制"，"一國"是"兩制"的前提。
As Hong Kong is a special administrative region of China the existence of two systems is premised on one country . Without one country we will not have two systems . One country is the precondition for two systems
如果分離主義的心態和主張成為他們七一遊行的主張，我們便真的要正視和防範。
If what they advocate through the 1 July march are separatist ideas based on a separatist mentality we should really face up to and guard against these ideas
他們的遊行口號是"一國兩制 呃足廿年；民主自治 重奪香港"。
The slogan of their march is One country two systems a lie of 20 years; Democratic self - government retake Hong Kong
我認為這口號應改為"一班政棍，搞足廿年；市民覺醒，救救香港"。
As I see it this slogan should be changed to A bunch of political tricksters disruption for 20 years; People awakening rescue Hong Kong
二十年來，反對派凡事政治化，不斷衝擊管治，把所有社會問題和社會精力均牽扯到他們所謂的真普選。
Over the past 20 years the oppositionists have politicized everything and kept undermining governance associating all social issues and social energies with what they call genuine universal suffrage
《基本法》第四十五條訂明，"行政長官的產生辦法根據香港特別行政區的實際情況和循序漸進的原則而規定，最終達至由一個有廣泛代表性的提名委員會按民主程序提名後普選產生的目標。
Article 45 of the Basic Law stipulates that [t]he method for selecting the Chief Executive shall be specified in the light of the actual situation in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region and in accordance with the principle of gradual and orderly progress . The ultimate aim is the selection of the Chief Executive by universal suffrage upon nomination by a broadly representative nominating committee in accordance with democratic procedures
"我記得之前有一次政改，民主黨那時還有少許知覺，支持政改，令香港的民主向前走了一步。
I remember that the Democratic Party once supported a constitutional reform package when it still had some consciousness thus taking Hong Kongs democracy a step further
但是，很可惜，上次政改，民主黨被一些激進派牽扯，失去靈魂，結果連循序漸進的民主步伐也不要。
But unfortunately in the last constitutional reform exercise the Democratic Party was led by the nose by some radical Members and lost its soul and even turned its back on the approach of gradual and orderly democratization in the end
如果那次政改獲得通過，基本上香港的民主便走前了一大步。
If that constitutional reform proposal had been passed it would basically have been a big step forward in Hong Kongs democracy
無論是真普選或政改，否決的都是反對派議員，但轉過頭來他們又繼續爭取，這樣他們永遠也有事做，而這些牽扯亦把香港放到中央的對立面。
Genuine universal suffrage or constitutional reform was invariably vetoed by opposition Members . After they rejected it they went on to fight for it . In doing so they were always able to keep themselves busy
近年，他們更與外國勢力勾結，並搞"黑金政治"，而且這些活動越來越頻密，越來越明目張膽。
In recent years they have even colluded with foreign forces and gone for money politics . These activities have become increasing frequent and flagrant
他們過往到外國只是"唱衰"香港，現在到外國則直接邀請外國人介入香港事務。
In the past they only bad - mouthed Hong Kong overseas but nowadays when they visit other countries they directly invite foreign people to interfere in Hong Kong affairs
我相信市民對這些事仍歷歷在目，很多報章均有報道。
I believe members of the public still remember vividly such activities which have been reported in many newspapers
他們獲外國知名學府破格取錄；數年後，由於他們有這個身份，回來香港又可以繼續攪事，這種做法令人齒冷。
They have been exceptionally admitted to famous academic institutions abroad . A few years later after graduation from the institutions they will come back and continue to cause trouble in Hong Kong . This is despicable
雖然他們不斷破壞香港，但有國家作為堅強後盾，香港仍能維持競爭力和今天的金融地位。
They have been harming Hong Kong continuously but with the strong backing of the country Hong Kong is still able to maintain its competitiveness and its financial status today
香港是我們安身立命的地方，我不希望有人"搞搞震"，不斷挑起矛盾，破壞香港與國家的關係。
Hong Kong is our home . I do not want anyone to wreak havoc and keep stirring up conflicts to damage Hong Kongs relationship with the country
更甚者，在七一這個紀念我們洗脫殖民地耻辱的重大日子，竟然有人遊行要求自主和獨立，我相信這種行徑不會得到市民普遍支持。
What is more outrageous is that on 1 July a significant day which commemorates our breaking away from the shameful colonial yoke some people are actually staging a march to call for self - rule and independence . I do not believe such an act will gain the support of the general public
今天這項議案，是由所謂的溫和民主派動議的。
This motion today was moved by a Member from the so - called moderate pro - democracy camp
我不希望溫和民主派因為曾在數年前支持政改而不斷被激進反對派牽扯，我希望他們有機會冷靜下來，思考他們的路向，究竟要走一條怎樣的路，不要喪失靈魂。
I do not want the moderate democrats to be constantly led by the nose by the radical faction of the opposition camp because of their support for constitutional reform a few years ago . I hope they will be able to calm down and think about their way forward or what path they want to take . They must not lose their souls
香港有今時今日的發展，我認為相當不錯。
In my view it is quite an achievement that Hong Kong has developed to where it is today
回歸前，有很多人移民；回歸後，不少昔日移民外國的人已回流香港。
Before the reunification a large number of people emigrated overseas; since the reunification many of those who emigrated in the past have returned to Hong Kong
在"一國兩制"下，香港有國家作為堅強後盾。
Under one country two systems Hong Kong has the strong backing of the country
在"一國"方面，我們無須向國家繳稅，無須服兵役，無須負責防務工作，卻可享盡"一國"的便利。
Regarding one country we can enjoy the benefits of one country to the fullest without having to pay tax to the country to be called up for military service or to take on defence duties
在"兩制"方面，我們的制度有異於國內所有其他省份的制度，所以香港是全國最特別的地方，同時亦面向世界，這正正讓香港處於很好的發展位置。
Thanks to two systems our system is different from that of all other provinces of the country . Hong Kong is thus the most special place in the entire country . This coupled with the fact that Hong Kong is a city facing the world has put Hong Kong in an excellent position for development
但是，很可惜，香港回歸20年來，不斷被泛民主派和反對派牽扯入政治鬥爭。
But sadly over the past 20 years after the reunification Hong Kong has been continually dragged into political struggles by the pan - democrats and oppositionists
我很希望各位市民與我們一起認清這群人，這群人已誠信破產。
I very much hope that members of the public can join us and see through these people who are bankrupt of integrity
在七一時，我們一起慶祝香港回歸。
On 1 July let us celebrate Hong Kongs return to China together
"正視七一遊行市民的訴求"的議案辯論。
The motion debate on Facing up to the aspirations of the people participating in the 1 July march
本會恢復《2017年道路交通條例草案》的二讀辯論。
We resume the Second Reading debate on the Road Traffic Amendment Bill 2017
條例草案委員會主席易志明議員就委員會報告，向本會發言。
Mr Frankie YICK Chairman of the Bills Committee on the Bill will address the Council on the Committees Report
很多朋友都知道，我是港島一個大型屋苑的業主委員會主席，服務社區已有一段時間，曾處理不少地區問題，當中包括在繁忙時段輪候小巴時間很長的問題。
As many people may know I am the chairman of the owners committee of a large residential estate on the Hong Kong Island . I have been serving the community for some time and have handled many local issues including the lengthy waiting time for light buses during peak hours
數年前，我收到不少居民反映，由於區內乘客量不斷上升，專線小巴在繁忙時段往往大排長龍，乘客要等候很長時間，而且小巴站人數太多，對路經的市民亦構成不便。
Several years ago many residents relayed to me that due to an increasing number of passengers in the area they often have to wait a long time in a queue for green minibuses GMBs during peak hours . Moreover a large number of people at GMB stops also cause inconvenience to the passers - by
我曾經約見專線小巴營運商，反映居民的意見，要求在繁忙時段增加班次，但營運商雖然承諾改善服務，亦表明有種種經營困難，包括經營成本上升、未能聘請足夠司機及法例規限等，令他們感到有心無力，無法增加班次。
I had a meeting with GMB operators to relay residents views on increasing the frequency of GMBs during peak hours . While the operators agreed to improve their services they also mentioned their operational difficulties such as rising operating costs failure in recruiting adequate drivers and restrictions imposed by the law hence their hands were tied and could not increase the service frequency
其後，我與業界人士商討後知道，新型的小巴可以容納多達20個座位。
Subsequently I learnt after discussing with members of the trade that new light bus models can accommodate as many as 20 seats
業界一直希望政府能夠放寬目前16個座位的限制，從而釋放出更大承載量。
The trade always hopes that the Government may relax the current 16 - seat restriction so that more carrying capacity can be released
其實，相比之下，增加班次不是一個好方法，因為會令路面進一步擠塞，污染問題亦會加劇。
Actually comparatively speaking increasing service frequency is not a good option because road traffic will become more congested and the pollution problem aggravated
所以，業界提出增加座位的建議絕對是一個好方法，我更相信這是一個"五贏方案"，政府沒有理由不接納。
Therefore the trades proposal of increasing the seating capacity is definitely desirable and I even believe it is a five - win option that the Government has to reason to reject
於是，我協助遊說政府，除了向運輸部門反映，更曾直接向特首提出這項建議，政府亦答應會認真考慮。
Consequently I helped lobby the Government . Besides relaying the proposal to the transport authorities I also raised it directly to the Chief Executive . The Government hence agreed to give due consideration
目前，全港共有4,350輛公共小巴，按照現時建議，每輛小巴將會增加3個座位，如果全部小巴都增加座位，便等於增加13,050個座位，相等於815輛16座位小巴的載客量，但實際上沒有增加小巴數目。
At present there are 4 350 PLBs in Hong Kong . Under the current proposal each PLB will have three additional seats . If all PLBs are retrofitted with three additional seats the seating capacity will be increased to 13 050 which is equivalent to the carrying capacity of 815 16 - seat PLBs without actually increasing the number of PLBs
所以，我認為這是一個各方都贏的"五贏方案"：第一，市民贏，按照現時建議增至19個座位後，承載量即時增加20%，有助解決繁忙時段的輪候問題，而且小巴收入增加亦可以紓緩加價壓力。
Hence I consider it a five - win option for all parties concerned . First members of the public will win . As the carrying capacity of PLBs will instantly be increased by 20 % upon increasing the number of seats to 19 under the current proposal the problem of long waiting time during peak hours will be resolved and the pressure on fare rise will also be relieved with the subsequent increase of revenue of PLBs
第二，政府贏，政府在沒有動用公帑的情況下，以最環保的方式，解決公共交通問題，亦能減省市民的輪候時間。
Second the Government will win . The Government can without resorting to public coffers resolve the public transport problems in the most environmental friendly way and shorten peoples waiting time for PLBs
第三，小巴司機贏，營運商收入增加，很多營運商已承諾會改善司機的薪酬福利，解決因薪酬偏低而未能聘請司機的問題。
Third PLB drivers will win . Many operators have undertaken to improve drivers remuneration package with the increase of revenue so as to resolve the problem of being unable to recruit drivers due to low salary
第四，業界贏，業界長期面對經營困難，甚至有部分路線因為長期虧損而面臨停辦，如果收入增加，便可望解決他們的困難。
Fourth the trade will win . As the trade has been facing operating difficulties and some routes may even have to cease operation due to persistent losses the possible increase of revenue may relieve the operators hardship
第五，環境贏，在不增加小巴數量的情況下，以最環保的方式即時增加20%承載量，變相減少環境污染。
Fifth the environment will win . As the carrying capacity of PLBs will instantly be increased by 20 % in the most environmental friendly way without having to increase the number of PLBs environmental pollution will be relieved
有人擔心小巴加位後會搶走其他交通工具的乘客，但現時在繁忙時段，港鐵和巴士均極為擠迫，有人滿之患，而且服務質素下降，小巴增加座位應不會對它們構成重大影響。
Some people are worried that PLBs will vie with other means of transport for passengers after the increase of the seating capacity . However given that presently the Mass Transit Railway and buses are very crowded during peak hours with deteriorating quality of service the increase of the seating capacity of PLBs should not affect them substantively
政府提交的《條例草案》建議把公共小巴座位增至19個，有議員認為應增至20個，雖然最終並未提出修正案，但這提議值得繼續跟進。
The Bill introduced by the Government proposes to increase the seating capacity of PLBs to 19 despite the fact that some Members consider that the seating capacity should be increased to 20 . Though no amendment is proposed at the end this idea is worth pursuing
如果加位不會帶來運作上的問題，而客量又不斷上升，便應盡快考慮加位。
If increasing the seating capacity does not cause operating problem while the number of passengers is on the increase the idea to increase more seats should be considered expeditiously
雖然每輛小巴只能增加1個位，但全港小巴總共可以增加4,350個位，等於增加271輛16座位的小巴，對於紓緩交通壓力會有一定幫助。
Although each PLB may only have one additional seat a total of 4 350 additional seats can be increased in all PLBs which is tantamount to having 271 additional 16 - seat PLBs . This will to a certain extent help alleviating the transport pressure
最後，我要感謝政府從善如流，聽取業界的建議，提出的《條例草案》又能夠平衡各方面的利益，我亦希望《條例草案》能夠順利通過，政府也能盡快落實加位建議，讓市民受惠。
Lastly I would like to thank the Government for accepting good advice and heeding the trades proposals . The Bill it introduced can strike a balance amongst the interests of all parties . I also hope that the Bill can be passed smoothly and the Government can take forward the proposal of increasing the seating capacity of PLBs so as to benefit members of the public
代理主席，我動議二讀《2017年僱傭條例草案》。
Deputy President I move the Second Reading of the Employment Amendment No . 2 Bill 2017 the Bill
《條例草案》主要提高《僱傭條例》下濫收求職者佣金及無牌經營職業介紹所罪行的最高刑罰、擴大濫收佣金罪行的適用範圍、就勞工處處長考慮拒絕發出或續發准予經辦職業介紹所的牌照、或將牌照撤銷的新理由訂定條文，以及為發出關於職業介紹所的實務守則提供法律基礎。
The Bill mainly seeks to raise the maximum penalty for the offences of overcharging job - seekers and unlicensed operation of employment agencies EAs provided for in the Employment Ordinance Cap . 57 ; expand the scope of application of the overcharging offence; provide for new grounds for the Commissioner for Labour to consider refusing to issue or renew or revoking a licence to operate an EA and provide a legal basis for the issue of Codes of Practice for EAs
根據現行的《僱傭條例》及《職業介紹所規例》，職業介紹所收取求職者超過其第一個月工資的10%作為佣金，或任何人無牌經營職業介紹所，一經定罪，最高可處罰款港幣5萬元。
According to the existing Ordinance and the Employment Agency Regulations Cap . 57A if an EA receives from a job - seeker a commission exceeding 10 % of his or her first months wages or if a person operates an EA without a licence it is liable to a maximum fine of HK50,000 upon conviction
考慮到社會關注職業介紹所濫收求職者，特別是外籍家庭傭工佣金 的問題，加上部分外傭因不知悉其法定權益，因而被不良職業介紹所濫收佣金，我們建議加重濫收佣金的刑罰，由現時最高罰款港幣5萬元增至最高罰款港幣35萬元及監禁3年，以提升阻嚇作用。
In the light of the communitys concern over the overcharging of job - seekers especially foreign domestic helpers FDHs on commissions by EAs coupled with the fact that some FDHs may not be fully aware of their statutory rights and benefits and thus fall prey to dishonest EAs who may overcharge them on commissions we therefore propose to impose heavier penalty on EAs overcharging job - seekers from a maximum fine of HK50,000 at present to a maximum fine of HK350,000 and an imprisonment of three years so as to generate greater deterrent effect
基於現時無牌經營職業介紹所的刑罰級別與濫收佣金的罪行相同，為防止無牌經營的職業介紹所濫收求職者佣金而面對較低的刑罰，《條例草案》亦建議相應提高無牌經營的刑罰至最高罰款港幣35萬元及監禁3年。
Given that the level of penalty for the offence of unlicensed operation of an EA is the same as that for the overcharging offence at present in order to prevent an unlicenced EA from facing a lesser penalty for overcharging job - seekers the Bill also proposes to correspondingly raise the maximum penalty for the offence of unlicensed operation of an EA to a maximum fine of HK350,000 and imprisonment of three years
《條例草案》亦建議擴大濫收佣金罪行的適用範圍。
The Bill also proposes to expand the scope of application of the overcharging offence
現時只有職業介紹所的持牌人，才可能須對濫收佣金罪行負上法律責任，而其他參與經營職業介紹所的人士，即使他們濫收求職者費用，勞工處亦可能因有關條文所限而未能對其提出檢控。
At present only the licensee of an EA could be held liable to the overcharging offence but not other persons involved in the operation of EA . Even if they charge job - seekers excessive fees the Labour Department LD may not be able to institute prosecution against them owing to the limitations of the provisions
《條例草案》建議把罪行的涵蓋範圍擴展至與持牌人相關的人，包括職業介紹所的管理層，即如該職業介紹所是一間公司，則包括該公司任何董事、經理、秘書或其他類似人員；或如是一個合夥，則包括任何合夥人或其他涉及該合夥管理的人。
The Bill proposes to extend the scope of the offence to cover certain persons associated with the licensee including the management of EAs that is to say in the case of an EA being a company any director manager secretary or other similar officer of the company; or in the case of an EA being a partnership any partner and any other person concerned in the management of the partnership
受僱於職業介紹所的人，也會納入涵蓋範圍內。
The persons employed by EAs would also be covered
此外，有關罪行也涵蓋看來是以持牌人或持牌人的相關人士身份行事的人，以發揮懲處的效用。
In addition the offence also covers a person purporting to act as a licensee or an associate of a licensee so as to ensure the effectiveness of the sanction
《條例草案》亦建議新增處長可考慮拒絕發出/續發牌照或將牌照撤銷的理由。
Also the Bill proposed to provide new grounds for the Commissioner to consider refusing to issue or renew or revoking a licence
這項建議可以防止持牌人因涉及欺詐或不誠實行為而被定罪，並遭撤銷或拒絕續發原有的職業介紹所牌照後，仍可透過使用另一人的身份例如家庭成員，申請另一職業介紹所牌照，並繼續在幕後操控新的職業介紹所的營運。
This proposal seeks to prevent a licensee who after hisher original EAs licence had been revoked or refused for renewal upon the conviction of an offence involving fraud or dishonesty to ask another person such as hisher family member to apply for another EA licence while retaining control of the operation of the second EA behind the scene
勞工處在今年1月以行政方式頒布的《職業介紹所實務守則》，以促進職業介紹所的專業水平和服務質素。
LD published the Code of Practice for Employment Agencies the Code administratively in January this year to promote the professionalism and service quality of EAs
我們建議藉這次機會，在《條例》訂明處長可不時就職業介紹所發出實務守則，並建議清楚述明處長可以持牌人及/或相關人士不遵從《守則》為理由，考慮拒絕發出或續發牌照，或將牌照撤銷，以消除持份者對《守則》成效的疑慮。
We propose to take this opportunity to provide in the Ordinance for the Commissioner to issue from time to time codes of practice for EAs and propose to make it clear that non - compliance with the Code by the licensee andor associates will be a ground which the Commissioner may refuse to issue or renew or revoke a licence so as to address the concerns about the effectiveness of the Code
各位議員，《條例草案》有關提高罰則的建議可令勞工處更有效規管職業介紹所，以加強對求職者特別是外傭的保障。
Honourable Members the proposal to raise the penalties as contained in the Bill enables LD to exercise more effective regulation over EAs and afford better protection to job - seekers FDHs in particular
《條例草案》的其他建議亦能提升對職業介紹所的持牌人及相關人士的操守的標準，回應僱主及求職者的期望。
Other proposals in the Bill also enhance the standard of conduct of the licensees and associates of EAs in response to the aspirations of employers and job - seekers
