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 Ireland concerning the period 1 January to 31 December 1983, the coefficients for the period 1 August 1984 to 31 July 1985 should now be fixed;
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,
For the period 1 August 1984 to 31 July 1985, the coefficients referred to in Article 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 1188/81 and applicable to cereals used in Ireland for the manufacture of Irish whiskey shall be as shown in the Annex.
