Seek for the Government to abolish wine duty with a bill that will be enacted as a long-term policy and not open to change from year to year.  By doing so, the fine wine trade will no doubt expand their businesses and relocate their fine wine stocks to Hong Kong from all the world.

 

2. Collect opinions from the trade through focus groups on demerit points system for licensed food premises to be amended by the Government and write up a counter-proposal, for example:

  • Against extending the license suspension period from 7 to 10 days upon the accumulating 15 demerit points within a period of 12 months;
  • Cancel any offence without breaching food safety or public hygiene regulations in the system.

3. Lobby the Government to award the cost of appeal against the TES rates to the successful appellants.

 

4. Call for the Government to launch compensation arrangements for all employers and employees engaged in the wholesale, transportation, retail and farming of live poultry as promised.

 

5. Request the Government immediately responsive to my motion passed at the LegCo on 30 April 2008 to cease the imposition of the levy on employers of foreign domestic helpers.

 

6. Close monitor on Government’s preparation on tender of contract for the live pig slaughterhouse and take into account all requirements for opening up live pig market such as having sufficient accommodation for live pigs of all suppliers.
