Transcript of SEN's stand-up session on tariff increase
*******************************************************

     Following is a transcript (English portion) of the Secretary for the Environment, Mr Edward Yau, speaking to the media at the Legislative Council Building today (December 21):

Reporter: Does the Government think that the reduction by CLP is good enough?

Secretary for the Environment: Before I came to the Legislative Council session, I was informed by CLP that they will adjust downward their tariff increase for the coming year. At least it is a step in the right direction. Of course, we have heard different parties, different (LegCo) members expressing their concerns and views, particularly on the basic tariff. I believe the company will continue to listen to these views. Of course, we will go back and study the revised proposal in detail and then take it from there.

(Please also refer to the Chinese portion of the transcript.)
