Achievements
工作回顧
In addition, the Association has been working closely with Legislator
for Wholesale and Retail, Mr. Peter Shiu, on regulatory issues. Our
efforts with Mr. Shiu included conveying our members’ concerns
to relevant government departments about, among others, the
need of consultation with the retail trade before launching the Hong
Kong Code of Marketing for Formula Milk and Related Products,
the proposal to prohibit commercial sales and supply of alcohol
to persons aged below 18, and the noise problems relating to the
Mong Kok pedestrian zone.
We also maintained close connection with the media throughout the
year. This helped to increase the transparency of the Association
and enhance public understanding about retailers’ operation and
challenges. We strongly believe that retailers play an important role
in ensuring the Government to formulate a balanced view in the
policy making process.
Presenting a Stronger Retail Voice in Regulatory
Development
The Association continued to serve as a sound board to the
Government on industry views from our members and to ensure a
smooth implementation of regulations, such that any operational
disruption can be minimized.
與此同時，協會與批發及零售界立法會
議員邵家輝先生就多項監管事宜密切合
作，包括就《香港配方奶及相關產品和
嬰幼兒食品銷售守則》、禁止向18歲或
以下人士售賣酒精飲品的立法建議，以
及旺角行人專用區噪音問題，向相關政
府部門傳達會員的意見。
協會一直與媒體保持密切聯繫，以提升協
會的知名度，並加深市民認識零售商所面
對的挑戰。我們深信，在政府的決策過程
中，零售商擔當着舉足輕重的角色，確保
達致各方持平的觀點。
加強發聲 維護業界權益
協會為政府與零售商提供一個互相交流意
見的平台，傳達會員的意見，確保法例能
順利推行，從而減低新法例對零售商營運
的影響。
