Hong Kong won’t lift ban on milk powder purchase  

梁振英：香港对于解除奶粉携带离港限令没时间表

中新网4月7日电 据香港媒体报道，香港特区行政长官梁振英7日在海南博鳌接受媒体访问时表示，限制将婴儿配方奶粉带出香港“是不得已而为之”，因之前采取的措施均失效。他说，对于什么时候解除限制，没有时间表，希望首先对香港本地奶粉零售有好的保障，同时也能满足内地和海外的需求，形成多赢局面。

(Ecns.cn)--The Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) government will not specify a time frame for lifting the ban on milk powder being taken out of Hong Kong, Chief Executive Leung Chen-ying said during an interview at the Boao Forum on Sunday.

Leung added that the limit is to allay residents' fears that local stores will run out of infant milk formula, and also to ensure supply to the mainland and foreign countries.

Starting March 1, an amendment to the Hong Kong import and export law says that one person can take out only two cans, or 1.8 kilograms, of baby formula. And that person must be at least 16 years old and must not have left the city in the last 24 hours.
