正如律政司司長於立法會辯論"一地兩檢"政府議案時所言，"一國兩制"是國家對香港特區的基本政策方針，而《基本法》為特區的各種根本制度、法治、人權等提供保障。
As the Secretary for Justice has said during the Legislative Council debate on the Government motion concerning co - location arrangement one country two systems is a basic policy of the Peoples Republic of China PRC regarding HKSAR whereas the Basic Law safeguards the HKSARs fundamental systems rule of law and human rights among others
特區政府認同維護"一國兩制"和堅守《基本法》極為重要。
The HKSAR Government agrees that upholding one country two systems and safeguarding the Basic Law are of utmost importance
正因如此，特區政府與內地在商討"一地兩檢"相關事宜的過程中，雙方由始至終的共識都非常明確：一方面盡量方便乘客及發揮廣深港高鐵香港段的效益，同時堅持"一地兩檢"在法律上必須符合"一國兩制"政策，並且不會違反《基本法》。
For this reason throughout the discussion between the HKSAR Government and the Mainland on matters relating to co - location arrangement the consensus between the two sides has always been very clear while seeking to bring convenience to passengers and unleash the benefits of the Hong Kong Section of XRL to the greatest extent it must be insisted at the same time that as a matter of law the co - location arrangement will be consistent with the policy of one country two systems and will not contravene the Basic Law
由於全國人大常委會將於稍後審議《合作安排》，並考慮到關於挑戰"一地兩檢"的司法程序仍在進行，現階段我們不適宜就相關法律問題作出詳細討論。
Since NPCSC will be examining the Co - operation Arrangement and legal proceedings challenging co - location arrangement are still ongoing it would be inappropriate for us to comment on legal issues in detail at this stage
隨後展開的本地立法工作是"三步走"中必不可少的部分，其目的是落實《合作安排》的有關內容，而有關立法建議日後必須經過立法會審議及通過，方能在西九龍站實施"一地兩檢"安排。
The local legislative exercise that follows is an essential part of the Three - step Process and its objective is to implement the relevant contents of the Co - operation Arrangement . The relevant legislative proposal must then be examined and enacted by the Legislative Council before co - location arrangement can be implemented at WKS
屆時，立法會可就條例草案的具體內容作詳細討論。
At that stage the Legislative Council can discuss the contents of the Bill in detail
特區政府會在未來的本地立法過程做好解說等相關工作，爭取議員的支持，讓香港市民可如期享用高鐵服務，體驗西九龍站"一地兩檢"省時便捷的安排。
The HKSAR Government will duly explain the arrangement and undertake other relevant work to harness the support of Members in the legislative process ahead so that Hong Kong residents can enjoy high - speed rail service as scheduled and experience the time - saving and convenient co - location arrangement at WKS
是否在八三一決定之後，又出現另一框架？
Have they put in place another framework following the 31 August Decision?
現在是否有一個"一地兩檢"框架，要在全國人大常委會作出決定後，我們才能進行本地立法，而且只能依據全國人大常委會的決定行事？
Is there now a framework called the co - location arrangement which requires that the enactment of local legislation must be preceded by a decision of NPCSC and that the work of enacting local legislation must keep within the parameters of the decision?
主席，關於"三步走"程序，大家必須明白，在香港特區進行本地立法是"三步走"程序的最後一步，其目的是就着落實《合作安排》的有關內容，提供所需的本地法律基礎，以及處理相關事宜。
President Members must realize that the enactment of local legislation in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region HKSAR is the final step of the Three - step Process and its objectives are to provide the basis of local legislation required for the implementation the Co - operation Arrangement and to handle related issues
屆時，立法會可就條例草案的具體內容作詳細討論，並決定是否通過有關的條例草案，以落實"一地兩檢"方案。
The Legislative Council can have thorough discussions on the specific contents of the relevant bill and decide if the bill should be passed to implement the co - location arrangement
正如我剛才所作的詳細闡述，立法會具有最終權力決定是否通過有關的條例草案，所以基本上全國人大常委會的批准及《合作安排》的細節都要經立法會討論，立法會的權力及香港的法治依然存在。
As I have explained in detail the Legislative Council is vested with the ultimate power to decide on the passage of the relevant bill or otherwise . Hence in the final analysis the approval of NPCSC and the details of the Co - operation Arrangement will be subject to discussions by the Legislative Council . The powers of the Legislative Council and Hong Kongs rule of law still exist
進行本地立法時是否必須依據《合作安排》及全國人大常委會的決定行事，不能有任何僭越或違反？
Must the enactment of local legislation keep within the parameters of the Co - operation Arrangement and the decision of NPCSC with no deviation or contravention whatsoever?
主席，就立法程序而言，全國人大常委會通過了《合作安排》，立法會最終通過落實"一地兩檢"安排的本地法例，是不應與《合作安排》的內容有所抵觸的。
President as far as the legislative process is concerned once NPCSC approves the Co - operation Arrangement the local legislation eventually enacted by the Legislative Council for implementing the co - location arrangement must not contravene any contents of the Co - operation Arrangement
但是，這並不代表立法會沒有自行作出考慮、討論和決定的權力。
But this does not mean that the Legislative Council has no power to consider and discuss the issue and make a decision on its own
主席，關於"一地兩檢"方案，特區政府與內地已討論了最少超過10年，但一直黑箱作業。
President the SAR Government kept discussing the issue of co - location clearance with the Mainland for more than 10 years at least
這建議引起法律界甚至香港整體社會譁然，有很多法律意見也提出挑戰，指此一做法其實整體違反了《基本法》。
This proposal has since led to huge outcries from the legal sector and even the community at large . It is also challenged by various legal opinions and criticized for contravening the letter and spirit of the Basic Law
主席，一個如此簡單的清關、出入境......
President it is just a simple arrangement for customs and immigration clearance
關於"一地兩檢"安排的法律基礎和相關問題，正如我剛才所作解釋，特區政府與內地相關部門商討落實"一地兩檢"的方案時，雙方的共識非常清楚，就是必須符合"一國兩制"及不違反《基本法》。
Regarding the legality and other related aspects of co - location clearance as I have explained just now all the relevant discussions between the SAR Government and the Mainland authorities concerned have been based on the clear consensus that any such arrangement must comply with one country two systems and must not contravene the Basic Law
同時，我們會就《基本法》不同條文作出深入研究，亦會繼續小心聆聽公眾對《基本法》不同條文的意見，包括社會上較多討論的條文如第二、七、十八及二十條。
In the meantime we will conduct in - depth studies on different Basic Law provisions and continue to listen carefully to public views on various provisions of the Basic Law including the more frequently discussed ones in society such as Articles 2 7 18 and 20
我們更會如實向中央反映香港社會各界的意見，並不斷檢視和完善這方面的法律分析。
We will also truthfully reflect the views of various social sectors to the Central Authorities and will keep examining and improving our legal analyses in this respect
但是，正如我剛才重覆指出，由於全國人大常委會將於稍後審議《合作安排》，並考慮到有關挑戰"一地兩檢"的司法程序仍在進行，因此現階段我們不宜就有關的法律問題作出詳細討論。
However as I have repeatedly pointed out just now since NPCSC will shortly scrutinize the Co - operation Arrangement and the judicial proceedings of challenging the co - location arrangement are underway it would be inappropriate for us to comment on the relevant legal issues in detail at this stage
從政府的主體答覆可以看到，他們其實非常虛怯，這次"割地兩檢"，分明就是密室談判，出賣香港。
We can see from the Governments main reply that they are in fact very scared . This cession - based co - location arrangement is obviously the result of backroom negotiations and a betrayal of Hong Kong
主席，相信在座所有議員，包括政府官員，對香港的核心價值、法治精神，均是高度擁抱和堅持。
President I believe all Members and public officers present here do dearly embrace and uphold the core values and rule of law of Hong Kong
香港政府在處理"一地兩檢"安排時，亦是以同一態度及宗旨行事，適時把我們所做的工作公開，並在有需要時徵詢立法會議員的意見。
The Hong Kong Government has been handling the issue of co - location clearance with the same attitude and objective disclosing what we have done at appropriate times and consulting Legislative Council Members whenever necessary
就有關"一地兩檢"的議案，雖然並無約束力，但政府也前來立法會尋求議員的支持。
Although the motion on the co - location arrangement carries no legislative effect the Government still put it forward to the Legislative Council as we wanted to gain the support of Members
相信我們的行動是事實擺在市民面前，一切清楚明白，足可顯示我們是以開誠布公、擁抱法治精神的態度行事。
I think the public can all see the fact before their very eyes . All we have done are both clear and transparent showing we have been acting in a frank and sincere manner and with an attitude of embracing the spirit of the rule of law
多謝劉議員的質詢。
I thank Mr LAU for his supplementary question
至於其他方面事宜，由於涉及複雜的跨境運輸交通基礎建設，要做到無縫交接和暢順運作，事實上有很多事情需要處理，例如票務、票價、車站管理和營運，甚至設施管理、監管、標準水平，以至日後的車票收入分攤、營運費用估算，在在需要雙方合作進行磋商。
As for other issues since cross - boundary transport infrastructures of a complex nature are involved there are in fact a lot of other things for us to handle in order to achieve seamless interchange and smooth operation . These include ticketing fare levels station management and operations and even facilities management supervision standards sharing of future fare income and the estimated operating costs . All these issues must be sorted out through mutual cooperation and negotiations
不過，基於互相尊重，我們跟對方已有共識，就雙方均同意可以公開發表的安排，我們會第一時間向公眾和議會作出交代。
Yet on the basis of mutual respect we have agreed with our counterpart that only if an agreement has been obtained from both sides to disclose certain arrangements the public and the Legislative Council will be informed of the arrangements at the earliest possible time
正如在處理有關"一地兩檢"的《合作安排》及第三步的工作，我們都抱有同一態度。
We have also adopted the same attitude in handling the Co - operation Arrangement for the implementation of the co - location arrangement and our work in the third step
主席，我動議修正葉建源議員的議案。
President I move that Mr IP Kin - yuens motion be amended
我現在向各位提出的待議議題是：張國鈞議員就葉建源議員議案動議的修正案，予以通過。
I now propose the question to you and that is That the amendment moved by Mr CHEUNG Kwok - kwan to Mr IP Kin - yuens motion be passed
