Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EC) No 104/2000 provides for financial compensation to be paid to producer organisations which withdraw, on certain conditions, the products listed in Annex I(A) and (B) to that Regulation.

(2) Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1501/83 of 9 June 1983 on the disposal of certain fishery products which have been withdrawn from the market(3) specifies the ways of disposing of the products withdrawn.

(5) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Fishery Products,
