Those adjustments are specified in Article 3(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1591/2001.
(3) The application of the above criteria gives the world market price for unginned cotton determined hereinafter,
The world price for unginned cotton as referred to in Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 1051/2001 is hereby determined as equalling 17,560 EUR/100 kg.

Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 2316/1999(2) lays down detailed rules for the application of Regulation (EC) No 1251/1999 concerning the conditions for the grant of area payments for certain arable crops and determines the conditions for set-aside, in particular the minimum areas set-aside must cover.

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 Spain on the period 1 January to 31 December 1996, the average ageing period in 1996 was four years for Spanish whisky; whereas the coefficients for the period 1 July 1997 to 30 June 1998 should be fixed;

Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,
For the period 1 July 1997 to 30 June 1998, the coefficients provided for in Article 4 of Regulation (EEC) No 2825/93 applying to cereals used in Spain for manufacturing Spanish whisky shall be as set out in the Annex.
