Standard Working Hours
In view of the highly complicated and far-reaching
"Standard Working Hours" legislation, the Association
has been making persistent efforts to advocate how the
regulation of working hours will negatively impact Hong
Kong's labour market and the economy.
The Association organized a get-together luncheon with
Mr. Matthew Cheung, Secretary for Labour and Welfare,
to exchange views on various labour matters. We took this
opportunity to relay our views to the Government, asking
it to adopt a vigilant approach in conducting relevant
assessments before regulating working hours.
Views on Other Legislations and Government
Policies
The Sub-Committee also formulated positions on a range
of draft legislations and government policies that are
significant to the retail trade with far-reaching implications
for businesses and consumers alike. They included:
Review on Hong Kong’s Discrimination Law
2015 Policy Address and 2015-16 Budget
Voluntary Health Insurance Scheme
Guidance on Persona Data Protection in Cross-Border
Data Transfer
Proposed Regulation of Edible Fats and Oils and
Recycling of “Waste Cooking Oils”
標準工時
制定「標準工時」法例是非常複雜的議
題，影響深遠。因此，協會一直致力向政
府發聲，力陳立法規管工時如何對香港勞
工市場及經濟造成負面的影響。
協會舉行了一個午餐交流研討會，與勞工
及福利局局長張建宗先生就各項勞工事務
交換意見。協會亦藉此機會，將意見轉達
給政府，促請政府在立法規管工時前應審
慎地進行相關的評估。
對其他條例草案及政府政策的意見
委員會亦對多項條例草案及政府政策制訂
立場。這些條例草案及政府政策對零售業
至關重要，並對零售商及消費者造成深遠
的影響。它們包括：
香港「歧視條例檢討」
《2015年施政報告》及《2015至16財
政年度政府財政預算案》
《自願醫保計劃》
《保障個人資料：跨境資料轉移指引》
有關規管食用油脂及回收「廢置食用
