If a merger between several chambers of commerce and industry attached to the same regional chamber of commerce and industry requires an election outside the year of the general renewal, the order on the composition of the new chamber referred to in article R. 711-47 is made by the supervisory authority on the basis of the economic weighting studies mentioned in article R. 713-66 and which were submitted to it with a view to the last general renewal.
The number of elected members sitting on the regional chamber of commerce and industry, and their distribution between categories and any sub-categories, corresponds, for the remainder of the current term of office, to the total number of elected members who sat in respect of the merged chambers.
