GREAT CONSTRUCTION IN GOBI TO BE INTENSIFIED

Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia /MONTSAME/ At its meeting on Wednesday, the cabinet gave an obligation to Ministers to intensify an environmental impact assessment in areas of Tavan tolgoi and Oyu tolgoi deposits.


If herder families and their pastures are located on these areas, they will receive compensation, so an order was given to related Minister to study this matter and to create for it a proper legal environment.

The Ministers were also ordered to draw up a proposal on imposing export tax on raw coal and iron ore, and to put into use a checkpoint for trucks at Zamyn-Uud and a 2.3 km paved-road on the border checkpoint in the first half of this year.

A traffic jam at the Zamyn-Uud border checkpoint has been heavy, so it is urgent to expand its area and to tackle financial matters for the construction of 1 km road between the trucks checkpoint and the Chinese Erlian checkpoint and a 8-km road between the complex and the #3 railway trans-shipment terminal. In addition, the cabinet intends to discuss a managerial structure in charge of "Sainshand" industrial complex erection.

The cabinet meeting also considered issues of preparing and training people in connection with the construction works.
