Business consultations

(1) Business Consultation e-Platform launched on Android platform

EABFU has recently released a “Business Consultation e-Platform” mobile application on the Android platform, to add to the one launched on the iPhone platform in November last year. These Apps provide the business community and other stakeholders with an additional channel to access the Government’s regulatory proposals and related consultation information, as well as a means of offering their views and comments, anytime and anywhere. They are available for free download by searching for “consultation” on the iPhone App Store and “eabfu” on the the Google Play Store.

(2) Task Force on External Lighting – Stakeholders and Public Engagement Exercise

The Task Force on Ex ternal L ight ing (the Task Force) set up by the Environment Bureau briefed WRTF on its findings and proposed switching-off requirement to tackle nuisance and energy wastage problems caused by external lighting. While WRTF supports the proposed regulation in principle, it emphasises that a balance must be struck between giving residents an environment conducive to sleep and the trade’s wish to maximise adver tisement exposure. WRTF also provides constructive comments to the Task Force including the suggestion of a longer exemption period for festive lighting. The Task Force will give careful consideration to comments received from the stakeholders and public before drawing up recommendations for the Government to consider.

(3) Code of Practice (CoP) for Authorised Seller of Poisons (ASPs)

The Pharmacy and Poisons Board of Hong Kong (PPB) has launched a consultation exercise to collect views from stakeholders on the draft revised CoP for ASPs, with a view to ensuring that the draft Code is practicable and effective in assuring the standard of practice for all ASPs (that is “pharmacies”). WRTF supports the draft revised CoP and has provided comments to the PPB for their consideration whether there is room to relax the requirements on water sinks, refrigerators and apparatus for extemporaneous dispensing for pharmacies without compromising public health.
