COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 2861/94 of 25 November 1994 fixing the coefficients applicable to cereals exported in the form of Irish whiskey for the period 1994/95
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), 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 Ireland on the period 1 January to 31 December 1993, the average ageing period in 1993 was six years for Irish whiskey;  whereas the coefficients for the period 1 July 1994 to 30 June 1995 should be fixed;
Whereas Article 10 of Protocol 3 to the Agreement on the European Economic Area (2) precludes the grant of refunds for exports to Iceland, Finland, Sweden 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 1994/95;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,
