Cap. 447 Art. 13Extension of benefits.

(1) Producer organisations may allow producers, who are not members of producer organisations, if the latter so request, to withdraw products from the market under such conditions as may be prescribed:

Provided that the withdrawal compensation, if any, which may be payable to such producers, in the form of financial assistance payable by the Director, shall be reduced by a maximum of ten per centum of the compensation payable to members of the producer organisation, and provided also that the amount paid shall take account of the overall withdrawal costs borne by such producers: Provided further that compensation shall not be granted where the amount of products withdrawn from the market is higher than the percentage, as the Director may from time to time establish, of the total amount of the product which would have otherwise been marketed by the producer.

(2) Producer organisations shall keep the Director informed of any measures taken in accordance with the provisions of subarticle (1).
