COMMISSION  REGULATION (EC) No 2384/95 of 11 October 1995 fixing the coefficients applicable to cereals  exported in the form of Scotch whisky for the period 1995/96
THE COMMISSION OF THE  EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2825/93 of 15 October 1993 laying down certain  detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 as regards the fixing and  granting of adjusted refunds in respect of cereals exported in the form of certain spirit drinks   (1), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 3098/94  (2), and in particular Article 5 thereof,
Whereas Article 4 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 2825/93 provides 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; whereas that coefficient  expresses the ratio between the total quantities exported and the total quantities marketed of the  spirituous beverage concerned on the basis of the trend noted in those quantities during the number  of years corresponding to the average ageing period of the spirituous beverage in question;  whereas, in view of the information provided by the United Kingdom on the period 1 January to 31  December 1994, the average ageing period in 1994 was eight years for Scotch whisky; whereas the  coefficients for the period 1 July 1995 to 30 June 1996 should be fixed;
Whereas Article 10 of Protocol 3 to the Agreement on the European Economic Area  (3) precludes the  grant of refunds for exports to Liechtenstein, Iceland and Norway; whereas, therefore, pursuant to  Article 7 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 2825/93, account should be taken of this in the calculation of  the coefficient for 1995/96;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the  Management Committee for Cereals,
