主席，民建聯過去曾發表我們對粵港澳大灣區發展的建議書，就香港人在內地工作超過183天便須繳付內地稅的規定，我們認為應該要放寬。
President in the past DAB has presented its proposal on the development of the Bay Area . In our view the requirement for Hongkongers who have worked on the Mainland for over 183 days to pay the Mainland tax should be relaxed
請問局長可否在此告訴我們會否考慮一項建議，就是這些人士仍然要繳稅，但可否以香港稅率繳付內地稅？
Could the Secretary tell us here whether he will consider the following suggestion these people still have to pay the Mainland tax but can they pay it at the tax rate in Hong Kong?
正如我剛才所說，當《規劃》出台後，下一步的工作便會更具體和精細，屆時每一項值得推動的方案，我們都會仔細落實。
As I said just now after the launch of the Development Plan the work in the next step will be more specific and precise . We will then carefully implement each proposal which is worth taking forward
主席，大灣區九市加兩個特區的政策，當然是最新國策，但之前我們亦有珠江三角洲的政策，而香港與深圳互相之間已有不少合作，包括田北辰議員所說的183天稅務安排。
President the policy for the Bay Area consisting of nine municipalities and two SARs is certainly the latest national strategy . Before that however we had also got the policy for PRD and there has already been a lot of cooperation between Hong Kong and Shenzhen including the 183 - day taxation arrangement mentioned by Mr Michael TIEN
採用80：20的原則也好，又或稱為"擒賊先擒王"的原則也好，香港與深圳之間似乎更迫切需要這一種優惠。
No matter whether we adopt the principle of 80col20 or the one known as catching the ringleader first it seems there is a more pressing need for this kind of concession between Hong Kong and Shenzhen
先行先試的確是推動大灣區發展的基本方略。
Early and pilot implementation is indeed the basic strategy for promoting the development of the Bay Area
換言之，在其他領域和地域尚未設有的措施，也可以在今次大灣區這項新國策下推動。
In other words measures not yet available in other domains or regions can be taken forward under this new national strategy for the Bay Area
謝議員提到我們近水樓台，與深圳一衣帶水，可否推行更多先行先試的措施？
Mr TSE asked whether more measures can be launched on an early and pilot implementation basis given our favourable location and close proximity to Shenzhen
代理主席，上月23日，粉嶺公路近雞嶺迴旋處及大頭嶺迴旋處接連發生數宗交通意外，導致粉嶺公路、掃管埔路、新運路、寶石湖路、馬會道及龍琛路的相關路段由下午四時至八時的下午繁忙時段嚴重擠塞，對往返北區的市民造成嚴重不便。
Deputy President on the 23 of last month several traffic accidents happened successively at Fanling Highway near Kai Leng Roundabout and Tai Tau Leng Roundabout leading to severe congestion on the relevant sections of Fanling Highway So Kwun Po Road San Wan Road Po Shek Wu Road Jockey Club Road and Lung Sum Avenue during afternoon rush hours from 4col00 pm to 8col00 pm which in turn caused serious inconvenience to members of the public commuting to and from the North District
代理主席，就劉國勳議員質詢的各個部分，現答覆如下。
Deputy President my reply to the various parts of Mr LAU Kwok - fans question is as follows
一 粉嶺公路2012年至2016年的交通意外率，按每100萬車輛行駛公里計算為0.30至0.46，較同期香港所有道路總計的意外率1.18至1.26為低。
1 The traffic accident rate on Fanling Highway between 2012 and 2016 ranges from 0.30 to 0.46 cases per million vehicle―kilometre which is lower than that of the territorial average of 1.18 to 1.26 in the corresponding periods
根據紀錄，粉嶺公路的意外大多為輕微意外，而意外主要涉及駕駛者因素，包括"不專注地駕駛"及"行車時太貼近前面的車輛"等。
According to records these accidents on Fanling Highway were mostly of minor nature and the contributory factors were largely driver - related including driving inattentively and driving too close to vehicle in front etc
雖然交通意外率不高，但運輸署注意到每當有交通意外在雞嶺迴旋處或大頭嶺迴旋處一帶道路發生以致主要路口被堵塞，而現場又未能迅速清理時，北區便出現嚴重擠塞的情況。
Although the traffic accident rate is not high the Transport Department TD has noted that whenever a traffic accident occurred in the vicinity of Kai Leng Roundabout or Tai Tau Leng Roundabout resulting in the obstruction of major road junctions and that there was no swift clearance at the site of the accident there would be severe traffic congestion in the North District
針對近年北區的交通情況，運輸署自去年起已實施多項措施，包括限制工程車輛不可在平日上、下午繁忙時段在區內行駛等。
In view of the traffic situation in the North District in the past few years TD has since last year implemented a host of measures including prohibiting construction vehicles from using district roads during morning and afternoon peak periods on weekdays
同時，運輸署亦特別關注當地的規劃發展申請，如有關申請的交通影響評估研究顯示有關發展項目可能會對當區的交通情況造成嚴重影響，運輸署會向城市規劃委員會作出建議，考慮修訂或否決有關申請，除非申請者能提出並落實所需的交通改善措施。
Meanwhile TD has been paying particular attention to planning applications for developments in the area . If the Traffic Impact Assessment Study of the relevant application indicated that the concerned development might cause significant impact on local traffic TD would propose to the Town Planning Board to consider amending or rejecting the application unless the applicant could come up with and implement the necessary traffic improvement measures
此外，運輸署、警方和專營巴士公司亦已制訂有關大頭嶺及雞嶺迴旋處附近道路發生交通意外後的應變措施和改道方案。
In addition TD the Police and franchised bus companies have drawn up contingency measures and diversion schemes for implementation in the event of traffic accidents on roads near Tai Tau Leng Roundabout and Kai Leng Roundabout
此外，警方短期內將實施臨時措施監察附近一帶迴旋處的路面情況，以加快處理突發事故。
In addition the Police will implement interim measures shortly to monitor the road situation at roundabouts in nearby areas with a view to speeding up actions to tackle unforeseen incidents
局長在答覆中表示，長遠解決方法包括增建一些新道路，但只表示會在未來數年進行研究。
Although the Secretary has indicated in the main reply that long - term solutions include the construction of new additional roads he has merely said that studies will be undertaken in the next several years
請問局長是否有時間表，何時能興建新道路？
Does the Secretary have a timetable for the construction of new roads?
政府又能否承諾在新道路建成前，略為減慢在北區進行的工程？
Can the Government make the undertaking that works to be carried out in the North District can be slowed down a bit before the completion of new roads?
多謝劉國勳議員提出的質詢和意見。
I thank Mr LAU Kwok - fan for his question and suggestion
政府進行發展項目時，其實會對區內交通和公共運輸進行影響評估，我剛才在主體答覆中指出，如果評估發現有關發展項目可能會對當區的交通情況造成嚴重影響，運輸署會考慮修訂或否決有關申請，除非申請者能提出並落實所需的交通改善措施。
In taking forward developments the Government will conduct Traffic Impact Assessment Studies on local traffic and public transport . As pointed out in the main reply just now if the Traffic Impact Assessment Study indicated that the concerned development might cause significant impact on local traffic TD would consider amending or rejecting the application unless the applicant could come up with and implement the necessary traffic improvement measures
我們其實對政府的項目和其他項目都是一視同仁，均會進行相應的評估，以防產生嚴重影響。
We actually treat government projects and other projects equally by undertaking the relevant assessments to avoid the emergence of adverse consequences
代理主席，現時北區街坊正生活在水深火熱中，因為塞車問題嚴重影響該區市民的日常生活。
Deputy President residents in the North District are now in great distress as their daily lives are adversely affected by traffic congestion
代理主席，剛才局長表示政府已有相應措施，例如加設黃格和劃雙黃線等小修小補的措施，但說到底，當局需要配合警方執法。
Deputy President just now the Secretary indicated that the Government had already put in place corresponding measures such as adding yellow boxes drawing double yellow lines and other minor patch - ups . After all the authorities have to tie in with the law enforcement actions taken by the Police
多謝林卓廷議員的意見及質詢。
I thank Mr LAM Cheuk - ting for his suggestions and question
政府其實知悉北區需要警方採取執法行動及作出安排，也看到上水出現嚴重的違例泊車問題。
The Government is aware of the need for the Police to take law enforcement actions and make arrangements in the North District . We also note the serious illegal parking problems in Sheung Shui
政府不時會檢討前線執法人員的數目及資源分配，在適當時候及在有需要時配合交通執法工作。
The Government will review the number of frontline law enforcement officers and deployment of resources from time to time and tie in with traffic enforcement work when appropriate and if the circumstances so warranted
長遠而言，對於北區連接市區新幹道的研究，運輸署將會聯同路政署進行《跨越2030年的鐵路及主要幹道策略性研究》，檢視2031年後的整體交通需求。
Insofar as the long - term studies on the linking of the North District with the new trunk roads in urban areas are concerned TD will conduct Strategic Studies on Railways and Major Roads beyond 2030 in collaboration with the Highways Department to review the overall transport needs after 2031
我要強調，2031年的交通需求並不代表我們在2031年後才處理，而是我們會從長遠及宏觀的角度，檢視交通的長遠需求。
I must emphasize that we will not wait until after 2031 to address our transport needs in 2031 . The long - term transport needs will be reviewed from long - term and macroscopic perspectives
我們期望研究策略性基建，透過運輸基建網絡改善現時交通走廊的表現。
We hope to study strategic infrastructure and improve the performance of existing transport corridors through the transport infrastructure networks
我們希望在獲得撥款後，盡快展開研究。
We hope the Studies can commence expeditiously after the funding is granted
局長表示會進行道路改善措拖，但塞車問題並沒有得到解決。
Although the Secretary indicated that road improvement measures would be taken the congestion problems have not yet been addressed
現時最嚴重是雞嶺迴旋處及大頭嶺迴旋處的問題，局長可否立即研究及着手在這兩個迴旋處落實一些紓緩交通擠塞的措施，例如興建支路和高架橋，以疏導交通流量？
Given that Kai Leng Roundabout and Tai Tau Leng Roundabout are now facing the worst problems can the Secretary immediately study and implement measures to alleviate traffic congestion at these two Roundabouts by for instance constructing bypasses to divert traffic flows?
在短期措施方面，運輸署已調校該路段的交通燈以配合車流。
On short - term measures TD has adjusted the traffic lights at that road section to tie in with vehicular flow
長遠而言，我們聽到一些關於新道路和新交通改善方案的意見，我們也會審視這些方案的可行性，以及研究這些方案會否對附近建築物或設施造成影響，並且會適當地諮詢地區人士的意見。
In the long run we have heard some views on new roads and traffic improvement proposals . We will also examine the feasibility of these proposals and study if these proposals will have any impacts on nearby structures or facilities . Moreover members of the community will be consulted in an appropriate manner
代理主席，無論是北區或集中石湖墟一帶，其實香港各區的交通擠塞和違例泊車問題都十分嚴重，不論是我們熟悉的觀塘區或灣仔區，問題一直未能解決。
Deputy President traffic congestion and illegal parking are actually very serious problems in various districts of Hong Kong including Kwun Tong our familiar district and Wan Chai . So far the problems remain unresolved
對於加強執法的真正有效方法，特別是針對主要道路或嚴重阻塞交通的地方，除對違例泊車的車主施加罰款外，會否採用更有效的拖車方法，在數分鐘內把車拖走，阻止車主在這些地方泊車。
As regards truly effective methods to step up law enforcement to pinpoint particularly major roads or places where there is serious traffic congestion will the Secretary adopt a more effective method by towing vehicles away within several minutes to deter owners from parking their vehicles in these places in addition to imposing penalties for illegal parking
我認為住宅區執法可以較為寬鬆，但在主要交通道路一定要嚴厲處理。
In my opinion a more lax approach may be adopted in law enforcement in residential areas but strict law enforcement actions must be carried out on major roads
多謝謝偉俊議員的意見及質詢。
I thank Mr Paul TSE for his suggestions and question
政府會不時檢討前線執法人員的資源分布，並會在出現嚴重問題時，加強這方面的執法工作。
The Government will review the distribution of frontline law enforcement officers from time to time and step up law enforcement on this front when serious problems emerge
正如我剛才提到，要長遠改善香港的交通擠塞問題，其實需 要採取多管齊下的做法。
As I pointed out earlier in order to ameliorate Hong Kongs traffic congestion in the long run a multi - pronged approach should be adopted actually
所以，政府現時計劃採用隧道分流的建議，並根據商業車輛泊車位的研究報告，採取一些短期及中期措施，以紓緩各區的交通擠塞情況。
Hence the Government is planning to take on board the proposal of diverting the traffic flow of tunnels and having regard to the study report on commercial vehicles parking spaces adopt some short - and medium - term measures to alleviate traffic congestion in various districts
此外，政府正對中環及其鄰近地區推行電子道路收費先導計劃進行可行性研究，利用科技協助盡快籌備在香港部分地區推行先導計劃，以紓緩交通問題。
Furthermore the Government is conducting a feasibility study on the implementation of the Electronic Road Pricing Pilot Scheme in Central and adjoining areas by capitalizing on technology to help make preparations for the implementation of the Pilot Scheme in certain areas in Hong Kong with a view to ameliorating traffic problems
我剛才提到，運輸署聯同路政署將會進行《跨越2030年的鐵路及主要幹道策略性研究》，從宏觀角度全面檢視全港的交通基建，並且審視現時主要交通走廊和幹道的表現，希望能夠前瞻性和長遠地針對現在香港面對的交通問題。
As I mentioned earlier on TD will conduct Strategic Studies on Railways and Major Roads beyond 2030 in collaboration with the Highways Department to review Hong Kongs transport infrastructure from a macroscopic perspective and examine the present performance of major corridors and trunk roads in the hope of addressing traffic problems currently faced by Hong Kong in a forward - looking manner and long term
局長，謝議員詢問當局會否在主要道路拖車，你會否正面回應或有否補充？
Secretary regarding the question asked by Mr TSE about whether vehicles will be towed away from major roads will you give a positive response or do you have anything to add?
如果有需要拖車的話，執法人員會安排拖車，我們已安排一些承辦商提供服務。
If towing of vehicles is required law enforcement officers will make such arrangements . We have arranged some contractors to provide such service
代理主席，局長在主體答覆提及很多在北區區內進行的交通改善措施。
Deputy President the Secretary has mentioned in the main reply many traffic improvement measures to be taken in the North District
他在主體答覆第二部分特別指出，當蓮塘/香園圍口岸連接路工程及粉嶺公路擴闊工程完成後，北區的交通擠塞情況能進一步得以紓緩。
In particular he pointed out in part 2 of the main reply that upon completion of both the construction works of connecting road for LiantangHeung Yuen Wai Boundary Control Point and the widening of Fanling Highway the traffic congestion in the North District can be further alleviated
不過，假如我們在北區向南行往大埔、沙田或九龍方向，我們會看到瓶頸問題其實沒有得到改善，這些工程只不過將瓶頸推往另一個地方。
Nevertheless should we go south in the North District towards Tai Po Sha Tin or Kowloon we will see that the problems caused by the bottleneck have not been ameliorated actually . These works will only push the bottleneck to somewhere else
雖然吐露港公路和康樂園橋面的交通情況已經得到改善，但由馬場至新城市廣場一帶的交通擠塞情況，並未得到改善，因此局長在主 體答覆表示紓緩北區交通需倚靠發展新道路發揮分流作用。
Although the traffic conditions on Tolo Highway and the bridge deck of Hong Lok Yuen have been ameliorated the traffic congestion in the area stretching from the racecourse to New Town Plaza and its vicinity has yet to be alleviated . As such the Secretary indicated in the main reply that new roads had to be developed to divert traffic in order to alleviate traffic in the North District
當局究竟有沒有具體計劃，何時會提交立法會進行探討呢？
Do the authorities have any concrete plans and when will they be submitted to the Legislative Council for examination?
根據立法會秘書處應我要求進行的研究文件顯示，美國和英國國會的民選議員就職前必須宣誓，前者宣誓效忠美國憲法，後者則宣誓效忠英國王室，兩者同樣需要簽署誓言作實。
As shown by the research paper prepared by the Legislative Council Secretariat at my request elected Members are required to take an oath before assuming office in the United States US Congress and the United Kingdom UK Parliament . While elected Members of US Congress are required to swear allegiance to its Constitution those of UK Parliament are required to swear allegiance to the British Monarchy . Elected Members of both US Congress and UK Parliament need to give their signature
該份研究文件亦指出，美國憲法第十四修正案第3條規定，議員一經宣誓就職，若其後"參 與叛亂或暴動"或"為敵人提供支持或援助"，會被取消議員資格。
As pointed out by the research paper section 3 of the Fourteenth Amendment to the US Constitution provides a disqualification for a Member who had taken an oath of office and had then engaged in insurrection or rebellion or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof
英國《1848年叛國重罪法》則訂明，任何意圖廢黜君主的行為均為犯罪，議員若被判叛國罪罪成，即會自動被取消議員資格。
The Treason Felony Act 1848 of UK makes it an offence to do any act with the intention of deposing the Monarchy . A Member convicted of committing treason will be disqualified automatically
其實，這些規定跟《香港國安法》第三十五條中有關曾經宣誓或聲明擁護《基本法》和效忠香港特別行政區的立法會議員、政府官員及公務人員、行政會議成員、法官及其他司法人員、區議員，經法院判決犯危害國家安全罪行，即時喪失該等職務，並喪失參選或出任上述職務的資格的要求相若。
In fact these requirements are similar to the requirement in Article 35 of the National Security Law that if a member of the Legislative Council a government official a public servant a member of the Executive Council a judge or a judicial officer or a member of the District Councils has taken an oath or made a declaration to uphold the Basic Law and swear allegiance to the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region HKSAR but is convicted of an offence endangering national security by a court he or she shall be removed from his or her office upon conviction and shall be disqualified from standing the aforementioned elections or from holding any of the aforementioned posts
至於對公務員宣誓的要求，德國及日本均要求公務員在入職時宣誓；拒絕宣誓者，在德國將會被革職，在日本則會受到紀律處分。
Regarding the requirement for civil servants to take an oath both Germany and Japan require their civil servants to take an oath when joining the government; refusal to take an oath will result in dismissal in Germany and disciplinary action in Japan
日本公務員的誓言還表明須服從上級命令是"必須"的"須"較《香港國安法》的要求更加嚴厲。
The oath of Japan also specifies the obedience of superior orders which can be said to be more severe than that required by the National Security Law
由此可見，公職人員宣誓以示對國家和社會負責也是國際慣例。
From this it can be seen that the practice that public officers take oath to show that they are responsible to the country and society is an international practice
中國在2018年亦將國家公職人員就職時應當依照法律規定公開進行憲法宣誓的要求，寫入中國憲法。
In China the requirement for its public officers to make a public pledge of allegiance to the Constitution in accordance with the provisions of law when assuming office was included in the Constitution of China in 2018
其實，違反宣誓會帶來嚴重的法律效果，普通法和中國法亦有非常接近的解讀。
In fact non - compliance with the oath - taking requirement will produce serious legal effects and the interpretations of which in both the common law and the Chinese law are very similar
在香港，早於2004年，梁國雄在就職時曾想改變立法會的宣誓內容，並在遭受立法會秘書長拒絕後提出司法覆核。
In Hong Kong as early as 2004 Mr LEUNG Kwok - hung wished to alter the content of the Legislative Council oath when assuming office and he filed a case for judicial review after his request had been rejected by the Secretary General of the Legislative Council Secretariat
當時處理案件的法官夏正民拒絕給予許可。
Mr Justice Michael John HARTMANN who dealt with the case at that time refused to grant such leave
法官夏正民在裁定中清楚指出，任何人不得冒犯《基本法》第一百零四條，法官夏正民在判詞中亦提及，立法會議員就職誓詞必須是全體議員一致，且要令所有其他議員認同是一致的誓言，因為這代表立法會的誠信。
In the ruling Mr Justice Michael John HARTMANN clearly pointed out that no person should contravene Article 104 of the Basic Law . Mr Justice Michael John HARTMANN also mentioned in his judgment that the oath of office taken by Legislative Council Members should be uniform for all Members and should be agreed by all other Members as being uniform because it represented the integrity of the Legislative Council
法官夏正民早在2004年的判詞中明言，任何人若堅持用自己的言語宣誓，而有別於立法會誓詞的內容，則有關人士會被視為沒有根據法律規定進行宣誓，而沒有根據法律規定進行宣誓，將會被視為"拒絕"或"忽略"宣誓。
In his judgment made as early as 2004 Mr Justice Michael John HARTMANN stated clearly that if a person insisted on taking an oath in accordance with his or her own wording without adhering to the content of the Legislative Council oath the person would be held not to have taken an oath in accordance with law
代理主席，我發言支持《2021年公職條例草案》。
Deputy President I speak in support of the Public Offices Bill 2021 the Bill
我們曾與政府當局舉行5次會議，法案委員會曾邀請各界就《條例草案》提交書面意見，共接獲5,547份意見書。
We have held five meetings with the Administration . The Bills Committee has invited written views on the Bill and received a total of 5 547 submissions
接獲的所有意見書均對《條例草案》表示支持，證明市民普遍支持區議員或有關公職人員需要擁護《基本法》，以及效忠特區和宣誓的新安排，亦認同"愛國者治港"的原則。
All the submissions received have expressed support for the Bill suggesting that members of the public generally support the new arrangements for requiring DC members or relevant public officers to uphold the Basic Law bear allegiance to HKSAR and take an oath and endorse the principle of patriots administering Hong Kong
我在法案委員會中特別關注有關監誓人的權力問題，認為監誓人應獲授權擔當把關者的角色，在有足夠證據證明某人不擁護《基本法》和不效忠特區的情況下，有需要立即禁止該人作出宣誓，或在該人作出宣誓後即時裁定其宣誓無效。
I have expressed particular concern about the powers of oath administrators at the Bills Committee holding that oath administrators should be empowered to act as gatekeepers who can where there is sufficient evidence that the person does not uphold the Basic Law and bear allegiance to HKSAR bar a person from taking an oath immediately if necessary or determine hisher oath as invalid immediately after the oath is taken
新增的第212條亦訂明，如有人拒絕或忽略作出某項誓言，無人可安排該人再作出該項誓言，除非根據第213b條，監誓人信納該人並非故意拒絕或忽略作出該項誓言。
The newly added section 212 also specifies that no person may arrange for the person who declines or neglects to take the oath to retake it except that in accordance with section 213b the oath administrator is satisfied that the person did not intentionally decline or neglect to take the oath
由於《條例草案》第5、6、7及8條已訂明有關的公職人員宣誓須由行政長官或其授權人士監誓，而根據經修訂的第11章第21條，監誓人已獲賦權就相關宣誓作出判定。
As clauses 5 6 7 and 8 of the Bill have already specified that the oath of the relevant public officers must be administered by the Chief Executive or a person authorized by himher section 21 of Cap . 11 as amended has already empowered the oath administrator to make a ruling regarding the relevant oath taken
因此，我回想後亦認同，《條例草案》可以這樣理解，監誓人在監誓當時的權力已在《條例草案》中訂明。
I concur with hindsight that the Bill can be construed as having specified the powers of oath administrator at the time of administering the oath
如事後發現並有證據證明宣誓人有違反誓言之嫌，宣誓人亦須承擔法律責任。
The person taking the oath would still be held liable if it was later found that there was evidence of any suspected breach of the oath
此外，委員亦關注到，若有區議員被律政司司長挑戰其議員資格，在暫停職務期間會否被視為缺席；更多委員關注主動辭職的區議員會否被追討薪酬。
In addition members were also concerned about whether DC members whose qualification was challenged by the Secretary for Justice would be regarded as absent during the suspension of duties; even more members were concerned about whether the remunerations of DC members who resigned on their initiative would be recovered
局方非常仔細聆聽委員的意見，就委員關注的事項提出修正案，並研究相關政策及機制以作處理。
After listening to members views very carefully the Administration has proposed amendments to address their concerns and explored relevant policies and mechanism to handle the issues
事實上，《條例草案》通過在即，區議員即將須依法進行宣誓，近日已有超過20名"攬炒派"區議員相繼宣布辭職。
In fact given the imminent passage of the Bill DC members will be required to take an oath in accordance with the law . Recently more than 20 DC members from the mutual destruction camp have announced their resignation successively
代理主席，公職人員宣誓以"愛國者治港"原則為根本，這是應有之義、應有之責。
Deputy President the principle of patriots administering Hong Kong is the core of oath - taking by public officers who have the obligation and duty to take oath
然而，一眾"攬炒派"區議員近日先後以不同理由辭職，這正好反映他們過往透過漏洞進入議會平台，更暴露了他們一直以來借區議會"反中亂港"、從來沒有打算做正事的醜惡面目，所以才趕在新法例生效前"雞飛狗走"。
However a number of DC members from the mutual destruction camp have recently resigned over various reasons . This is not only a testament to the fact that they have previously gained access to the DC platform by exploiting the loopholes but has also exposed their ugly motive of using DCs to oppose China and seek to disrupt Hong Kong instead of making any plans to do practical work . They therefore have to flee in no time before the new law takes effect
由此可見，《條例草案》確實有其必要性和及時性，特區政府以後必須嚴正執法，貫徹落實"愛國者治港"。
From this we can see that the Bill is necessary and timely . In the future the HKSAR Government must enforce the law strictly and fully implement the principle of patriots administering Hong Kong
代理主席，《條例草案》中完善宣誓規定等安排，絕對是來得及時、必要，而且合情、合理、合法。
Deputy President it is absolutely timely and necessary to introduce the Bill to improve among others the oath - taking requirement . It is also sensible reasonable and lawful
合情方面，代理主席，要成為"治港者"必須是"愛國者"。
Deputy President the Bill is sensible because a person must be a patriot in order to administer Hong Kong
我剛才已指出，"愛國者治港"是應有之義，也是對公職人員以至區議員最基本的要求，放諸四海皆準。
As I pointed out just now it should be the obligation and most basic requirement of public officers and even DC members to implement the principle of patriots administering Hong Kong which is a universal principle
可惜，香港回歸祖國多年以來，在落實"愛國者治港"方面的工作做得未到位，結果引發連串"黑暴"、"攬炒"亂象。
Unfortunately over the years since the return of Hong Kongs sovereignty to China the principle of patriots administering Hong Kong has not been effectively implemented resulting in a series of black - clad riots and frantic attempts to achieve mutual destruction
"攬炒派"利用"黑暴"之風佔據區議會選舉，結果令區議會成為宣揚"港獨"的平台，令區議會嚴重失效、嚴重失衡。
Riding the wave of black - clad violence the mutual destruction camp won a landslide victory in DC elections and subsequently turned DCs into a platform for promoting Hong Kong independence thereby rendering them seriously ineffective and unbalanced
《條例草案》的目的便是盡特區應有之義、應有之責，全面落實"愛國者治港"，這一定是合情的。
The Bill seeks to honour SARs due obligations and responsibilities of fully implementing the principle of patriots administering Hong Kong which is certainly reasonable
