A technical advisory committee is set up under the market manager, who provides its secretariat and sets the agenda for its meetings.
It comprises a maximum of twenty-five members. It is made up of representatives of:
1° Public administrations;
2° Producers;
3° Operators;
4° Users.
The representatives in the first category are appointed by the prefect responsible for policing the market. Those in the last three categories are appointed by the manager, on the proposal of the most representative professional organisations.
The operation of the technical advisory committee is defined by the internal regulations of the markets of national interest.
