The opening of the Spring session of Parliament 2014 was officially held today on April 7th. The Spring session of Parliament is special as it is attended by political party leaders without seats in parliament, ambassadors and consuls from foreign countries to Mongolia.

Speaker Z.Enkhbold delivered a speech to open the Spring session meeting of Parliament. In his speech the Speaker said that, “Parliament could not confirm the list of issues to be discussed during the session of Parliament. Thus I expect the first issue to be passed by Parliament to be the list of issues to be discussed. However 252 bills were suggested to be discussed at the Spring session but only 52 proposals have been submitted. These proposals that were submitted need to be arranged due to their socio-economic importance.”

The Speaker also noted that during the Spring session the Government`s financial performance 2013, budget reports for State budget 2015 and the draft bill on the main directions of socio-economic development of Mongolia will be discussed. Further, clarifying financial aspects of 272 corrupted state funded construction projects and auditing projects in order give directions to the Government will be on the agenda.

Speaker Z.Enkhbold then stated that the Pension sharing legislation, and other issues such as creating a legal environment to boost economic growth, the list of constructions to be privatized by the Government in 2014, the draft law on glass accounts, and some amendments into judiciary reform laws must be discussed first at the Spring session meeting.

After the opening of the Spring session of Parliament, caucuses in Parliament will have separate meetings.
