*****COMMISSION  REGULATION (EEC) No 3489/81  of 7 December 1981  fixing for the period 1981/82 certain coefficients applicable to cereals exported in the form of certain spirituous beverages  THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN  COMMUNITIES,  Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,  Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2727/75 of 29 October 1975 on the common organization of the market in cereals (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1949/81 (2), and in particular Article 16 (6) thereof,  Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1188/81 of 28 April 1981 laying down general rules for granting refunds adjusted in the case of cereals exported in the form of certain spirituous beverages and the criteria for fixing the amount of such refunds and amending Regulation (EEC) No 3035/80 concerning certain products not covered by Annex II to the Treaty (3), and in particular Article 12 thereof,  Whereas Article 3 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 1188/81 states that the quantity of cereals on which the refund shall be granted shall be that placed under control weighted by a coefficient, fixed annually for each Member State concerned, expressing the ratio for the spirituous beverage in question between the total quantity exported and the total quantity marketed; whereas, further to information provided by the Member States concerning the period from 1 January to 31 December 1980, the coefficients for the period from 1 August 1981 to 31 July 1982 should now be fixed; whereas Article 3 (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 1188/81 states that the coefficient may be varied according to the cereals used;  Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3236/81 (4) fixed a coefficient for the period 1 August 1981 to 31 July 1982 for barley processed into malt used in the United Kingdom for the manufacture of malt whisky; whereas, in view of additional data recently supplied to the Commission, only coefficients applicable in Ireland can be fixed for the said period;  Whereas the second indent of Article 3 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1188/81 provides for adjustment of the coefficient where foreseeable trends for exports of spirituous beverages show a tendency to change significantly in one of the Member States concerned; whereas such an assessment may be made by taking account of a reference period of sufficient length to eliminate insignificant short-term fluctuations; whereas a period of six years prior to the year in question seems to comply with this criterion; whereas, moreover, an annual difference of less than 1 % between the respective trends in exports and total quantities sold cannot show a tendency towards significant change;  Whereas the coefficients should be adapted accordingly, to take account of a tendency for Irish exports to increase;  Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,  HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:  Article 1  For the period from 1 August 1981 to 31 July 1982, the coefficients referred to in Article 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 1188/81, applicable to cereals used in Ireland for the manufacture of Irish whiskey, shall be as shown in the Annex.  Article 2  This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.  This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.  Done at Brussels, 7 December 1981.
