The Council under the Speaker of the Parliament of Mongolia held a meeting on Monday. The council decided that the autumn session of parliament would open on October 1^st and discussed scheduled draft bills.

The Council under the Speaker of the Parliament agreed to first discuss the hotly debated railway gauge issue, which was left unresolved in the spring session of parliament.

The authorities have debated the issue of whether wide or narrow rail gauge should be used for years. However, the issue seems will be the first one to be discussed in the autumn session.

The council also scheduled an agreement on transparency in matters related to international trade and investment between Mongolia and the USA, a draft law on firearms, and a draft law on domestic violence.  Many speculate that one of the most heated debates will be on the restructuring of the government.
