环境运输及工务局局长发表文章:海净河清的目标指日可待
Article by SETW on Moving Forward to Clean Seas and Clear Water
在未来10年,政府将投放约200亿元在新的污水收集及处理项目上,以改善水质及保障公共卫生。政府将全数承担有关的建筑费用。为支付每年约13亿元的日常营运开支,我们预计在10年内,排污费须增至每月27元,每年递增幅度温和,平均增幅每日不足一毫。
To enhance water quality and protect public health, the Government plans to invest about $20 billion in new sewerage and sewage treatment facilities in the next ten years. As well as the capital cost to be borne by the Government, there will be additional operating expenditure of about $1.3 billion per annum. To fund these operating costs, the average domestic sewage charge will have to rise to $27 per month in ten years' time - a modest increase each year of no more than 10 cents per day.

珠三角港资工厂环保管理新体验
Environmental Management Successes of Hong Kong-invested Factories in the PRD
香港工商界在改善区域环境担当着重要的角色。部分港资工厂积极行动,提升其环保表现。环境运输及工务局局长于2007年4月27及28日参观了三家位于珠三角区的港资工厂,了解厂方的运作和推行环保管理的工作,包括减少排污、推行清洁生产及节能等。这三家工厂的成功经验说明通过采用良好的作业方法和管理措施、应用先进的技术,企业可以获益于节省生产成本、改善企业形象,以及满足市场客户对生产商日益严格的环保要求。
The Hong Kong business community plays an important role in improving the regional environmental quality. Some Hong Kong-invested factories are proactively raising their environmental performance. SETW visited three Hong Kong-invested factories in the PRD on 27 and 28 April 2007 to understand their operation and environmental management efforts, including reduction of pollution emission, adoption of energy efficient and cleaner production practices. Their successful experiences show that, through adoption of good production practices and management measures, application of advanced technologies, enterprises would benefit from reduced production costs, improved corporate image, as well as satisfying the growing customer demands for high environmental performance of their suppliers.

致编辑的信 Letters to the Editors
news_update_0705_03.jpg 致南华早报编辑的信 - 回应评论 "Bring out the blue skies by encouraging more biodiesel use" (三月二十八日) (只有英文版本)
Letter to the Editor of SCMP - Response to commentary entitled "Bring out the blue skies by encouraging more biodiesel use" by Prof Marcel Lie (March 28)
A fine balance is required as though the use of biodiesel may reduce green house gas emission, the emission of nitrogen oxides would increase. In January 2007, we kicked off consultation with relevant stakeholders on the draft specification and sought their views on how to promote its use with due consideration to the emission and vehicle compatibility implications.
