BOTH MANUFACTURERS AND THE GOVERNMENT HAVE A ROLE ΤΟ PLAY IN ORDER TO MAINTAIN HONG KONG'S COMPETITIVE POSITION, THE SECRETARY FOR TRADE AND INDUSTRY, MR T H CHAU, SAID THIS (TUESDAY) MORNING.
HE SAID THE GOVERNMENT WAS FULLY PREPARED TO PLAY ITS ROLE IN PROVIDING THE NECESSARY INFRASTRUCTURE AND SERVICES TO ENHANCE THE COMPETITIVENESS AND DEVELOPMENT OF THE LOCAL MANUFACTURING INDUSTRIES.
THIS IS IN LINE WITH THE GOVERNMENT'S INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT POLICY OF "MINIMUM INTERVENTION AND MAXIMUM SUPPORT", HE ADDED,
MR CHAU WAS SPEAKING AT THE OPENING OF THE "TEXTILE AND GARMENT TECHNOLOGY" SEMINAR ORGANISED BY THE HONG KONG GENERAL CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.
HE SAID THE GOVERNMENT WAS AWARE OF THE PROBLEMS THAT ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION LEGISLATION HAD PLACED ON THE TEXTILE AND GARMENT INDUSTRIES, PARTICULARLY THE DYEING AND FINISHING SECTOR.
"THE IMPACT OF EXISTING AND PROPOSED ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION LEGISLATION ON THE TEXTILE AND CLOTHING SECTOR HAS BEEN EXAMINED IN A RECENTLY COMPLETED CONSULTANCY STUDY ON 'SUPPORT TO INDUSTRY ON ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS'.
