MERCHANT SHIPPING
The shippers' organisation representing shippers of the greatest quantity of goods with the conference will be automatically recognised. In addition shippers' organisations are recognised if it is reasonable for them to be recognised having regard to the shippers they represent, and the conference cannot show that such shippers are already adequately represented or that it would not be appropriate to consult them as provided for in the Code in view of the number of shippers and other shippers' organisations representing shippers who shipped greater quantities of goods.
The Secretary of State is empowered to designate for the purposes of Article 11 of the Code (which relates to consultations) recognised shippers' organisations, individual shippers, and representatives of shippers.
