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 1991, the coefficients for the period 1  July 1992 to 30 June 1993 should now be fixed;
