The coefficient is to express the ratio between the total quantities exported and the total quantities marketed of the spirit drink concerned, on the basis of the trend noted in those quantities during the number of years corresponding to the average ageing period of the spirit drink in question.\n(2)\nAccording to the information provided by the United Kingdom in respect of the period 1 January to 31 December 2012, the average ageing period for Scotch whisky in 2012 was seven years.\n(3)\nCommission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 745/2012 has ceased to be operative given that it concerns the coefficients applicable for the year 2012/2013. The coefficients for the period 1 October 2013 to 30 September 2014 should therefore be fixed accordingly.\n(4)\nArticle 10 of Protocol 3 to the Agreement on the European Economic Area excludes the granting of refunds in respect of exports to Liechtenstein, Iceland and Norway. Moreover, the Union has concluded agreements abolishing export refunds with certain third countries. Consequently, pursuant to Article 7(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1670/2006, this should be taken into account in calculating the coefficients for 2013/2014,\nHAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:",
