Regular meetings of fishermen associations at any level shall be held once per year. An extraordinary meeting shall be convened at the request made by one-third or more of members (representatives), or when considered necessary by the board of directors.
In case that the chair of the board of directors fails to convene an extraordinary meeting within ten days following the request as referred to in the preceding paragraph, the original proponent may apply to the competent authority for an order to convene the meeting.
