Parliament on Thursday passed draft laws on preventing conflicts of interests in state agencies, on anticorruption, and on state services. Amendments to the Criminal Law were also ratified.

Speaker D.Demberel said the laws are very crucial because Parliament discussed the drafts for long period of a time. He urged state officials to study the laws and said special attention should be paid to their enforcement.

MPs debated the date the laws will take effect. Kh.Temuujin said state officials will submit their income declarations on February 15, so the laws should be enforced from that date. But the Standing Committee on Justice did not approve enforcement from February 15, and Parliament decided the laws will take effect July 15.
