Features

The FTC's Commissioners' Meeting has the following features:

1. The FTC is among the small minority of Cabinet commissions run by a collegial system. Since the Fair Trade Law is a sophisticated commercial law, to ensure that opinions from all sectors are
   considered and that cases are thereby handled in conformity with legislative intent, FTC decisions are based on a majority vote of the Commissioners.
2. The FTC shall have 7 full-time Commissioners, who shall each serve a four-year term and may be re-appointed . Of the Commissioners, one shall be appointed Chairperson of the Commission, and shall have the rank of a Special Appointment Official who shall supervise all the affairs of the FTC, and one shall be appointed Vice Chairperson of the FTC, and shall assist the Chairperson in administering the affairs of the FTC. All Commissioners shall be recommended by the Premier and appointed by the Legislative Yuan.
3. Commissioners shall be beyond party affiliations and shall act independently in performing their duties under the law, free from the influence of any political party.
4. The number of Commissioners within the same political party shall not be more than one-half of the total number of Commissioners.
5. Only persons well-versed and experienced in law, economics, finance, tax, accounting or management shall be appointed as Commissioners of the FTC.
