The organs of the FMC are the Assembly of Delegates, the Board of Directors, the Executive Board and the Board of Control.

In accordance with the statutes, the shares that do not represent participation certificates were underwritten on the basis of the annual retail sales. The number of shares acquired by the Cooperatives is based on the conditions in 1957. As it was no longer necessary to issue new shares to raise finance for the FMC, and because the voting rights are exercised independently of the share distribution, the Board of Directors decided not to change anything and has retained the original distribution from 1957.
Liability for the obligations of the FMC is limited to its assets.
