여야 3당 원내대표 회동 '특활비•폭염 대책•민생법안 등 논의'<br /><br /> South Korea's three main parties agreed to make transparent... the use of so-called "special activity funds" that are handed out to lawmakers every month on top of their salaries.<br /> The parties say the funds will only be used in cases where they can turn in receipts or related documents.<br />There has been controversy over the special activity funds -- as some ranking officials receive tens of thousands of U.S. dollars per month,... but they don't have to report how the money is spent.<br /> During the August extraordinary session the three sides plan to pass a set of bills ,... that includes easing regulations on Internet-only banks,... as well as designating the heatwave as a natural disaster, which will enable the government to respond to it systematically.<br />The parties also agreed to form a committee that will oversee lawmakers taking sponsored trips abroad... amid criticisms that the expensive trips are not always necessary, and at times have nothing to do with national interest. <br />
