The general methodology described in recitals 35 to 44 has been applied to the sole exporting producer in Kazakhstan, which was granted MET. In view of limited domestic sales, normal value had to be constructed pursuant to Article 2(3) of the basic Regulation. In this respect, it was found that the domestic sales of the like product by Kazchrome were not representative and that this producer's domestic sales of the same general category of products were not in the ordinary course of trade. Therefore, the amounts for SG&A and for profit used to construct normal value were initially based, pursuant to Article 2(6) of the basic Regulation, on the weighted average of these amounts attained by the cooperating Ukrainian producers on their domestic sales of the like product. Subsequent to definitive disclosure, the exporting producer argued that the methodology used to determine the SG&A and profit was not appropriate in view of the fact that significant dumping was found for the cooperating Ukrainian exporting producers. Alternatively, the Kazakh exporting producer claimed that the amounts for SG&A and profit established in the analogue country should be used. Following these comments, it was indeed considered not appropriate to use profits from the Ukrainian producers in these circumstances. It was thus re-examined pursuant to Article 2(6) of the basic Regulation on which basis the amounts for SG&A and profit could be established. In this regard, it was assessed whether any of the company's SG&A and profit data relating to SiMn could be used to establish the relevant amount. As the company is deemed to operate under market conditions and in order to reflect as precise as possible the domestic market situation of the Kazakh company, it was decided that the weighted average SG&A and profit obtained on its domestic sales of SiMn to unrelated and related customers should be used under the chapeau of Article 2(6) of the basic Regulation. In this respect, it should be noted that the SG&A and profit realised on its domestic sales to unrelated and related customers were at almost identical levels, thus indicating that neither the SG&A nor the profit realised in the sales to domestic related customers are affected by the relationship. Moreover, the domestic sales were found to be made in the ordinary course of trade and at a reasonably significant level (2,8 % of the volume of exports to the Community of SiMn). Given that chapeau of Article 2(6) of the basic Regulation prioritises the use of a company's own SG&A and profit realised on the domestic sales in the ordinary course of trade, the claim to resort to data obtained from the producer in the analogue country was thus rejected.

fixing the coefficients applicable to cereals exported in the form of Scotch whisky for the period 2007/08

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 of 29 September 2003 on the common organisation of the market in cereals (1),

Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 1670/2006 of 10 November 2006 laying down certain detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 as regards the fixing and granting of adjusted refunds in respect of cereals exported in the form of certain spirit drinks (2), and in particular Article 5 thereof,

Whereas:

(1) Article 4(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1670/2006 lays down that the quantities of cereals eligible for the refund are to be the quantities placed under control and distilled, weighted by a coefficient to be fixed annually for each Member State concerned. The coefficient is to express the average ratio between the total quantities exported and the total quantities marketed of the spirit drink concerned, on the basis of the trend noted in those quantities during the number of years corresponding to the average ageing period of the spirit drink in question.

(2) According to the information provided by the United Kingdom in respect of the period 1 January to 31 December 2006, the average ageing period for Scotch whisky in 2006 was six years.

(3) The coefficients for the period from 1 October 2007 to 30 September 2008 should therefore be fixed accordingly.

(4) Article 10 of Protocol 3 to the Agreement on the European Economic Area excludes the grant of refunds in respect of exports to Liechtenstein, Iceland and Norway. Moreover, the Community has concluded agreements abolishing export refunds with certain third countries. Under the terms of Article 7(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1670/2006, this should be taken into account in calculating the coefficients for 2007/08,

Article 1

For the period 1 October 2007 to 30 September 2008, the coefficients provided for in Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 1670/2006 applying to cereals used in the United Kingdom for manufacturing Scotch whisky shall be as set out in the Annex to this Regulation.
