Functions
Meetings of the Commissioners is the highest policy-making organ of the FTC; it shall be charged with the disposition of matters regarding the following:
- Review of fair trade and multi-level marketing administration policies;
- Review of fair trade and multi-level marketing administration regulations;

Features
The FTC's Commissioners' Meeting has the following features:
- 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.
- The FTC shall consist of seven full-time commissioners to be appointed by nomination by the premier and approval of the Legislative Yuan for a four-year staggered term. Commissioners may be reappointed when their term expires. Commissioners shall serve a four-year term and may be re-appointed once to serve a consecutive term. When making the appointment, the premier shall designate one of the commissioners as the chairperson and another as the vice chairperson.
- All commissioners shall be politically impartial and disallowed to participate in political party activities and they perform their duties independently according to related laws.
- The number of commissioners affiliated with the same political party may not exceed one half of the total number of commissioners.
- The commissioner appointees must have the knowledge and experience with regard to law, economics, finance and taxation, accounting, or management.
