(b) Under such agreements, participating countries which are largely interested in imports of the commodity concerned shall, in decisions on substantive matters, have together a number of votes equal to that of those largely interested in obtaining export markets for the commodity. Any participating country, which is largely interested in the commodity but which does not fall precisely under either of the above classes, shall have an appropriate voice within such classes; •(c) Such agreements shall make appropriate provision to afford increasing opportunities for satisfying national consumption and world market requirements from sources from which such requirements can be supplied in the most effective and economic manner, due regard being had to the need for preventing serious economic and social dislocation and to the position of producing areas suffering from abnormal disabilities; (d) Participating countries shall formulate and adopt programmes of internal economic adjustment believed to be adequate to ensure as much progress as practicable within the duration of the agreement towards solution of the commodity problem involved. Article 61 Administration of Commodity Control Agreements 1. Each commodity control agreement shall provide for the establishment of a governing body, herein referred to as a Commodity Council, which shall operate in conformity with the provisions of this Article. 2. Each participating country shall be entitled to have one representative on the Commodity Council. The voting power of the representatives shall be determined in such a way as to conform with the provisions of Article 60 (b).

Article 60. The term " reasonable " as applying to prices in sub-paragraph (a) is to be interpreted as in Article 54 (c).
