There is no body that is legally recognized. Also, with all the diversity in meteorites and the way the whole hobby/business is set up it would be impossible for there to be a body like that and for the hobby to continue in its current state. Diamonds are an example of something that the industry has created a value for that doesn't really exist -- meaning that once you buy one it loses 80% of that value -- and probably not a good thing for the meteorite community to model itself after.
