These price levels and ceilings eliminate the injurious effects of dumping. For the purposes of ensuring compliance with the under- takingg, CCCME and the Companies also agreed to provide all information considered necessary by the Commission and to allow on-spot verification visits at their premises in order to permit verifications of the accuracy and veracity of data submitted in the said quarterly reports. As noted in recital 239 of Regulation (EC) No 1531/2002, the undertaking specifically provides that a breach by any of the Companies or the CCCME shall be considered as a breach of the undertaking by all signa- tories. Failure to cooperate with the European Commission in monitoring the undertaking is considered as a breach of the undertaking.
