in particular

In addition, since the exporting producers and the
Ukrainian authorities have undertaken to submit detailed
and regular sales information to the Commission and
not to enter into direct or indirect compensatory agree-
ments with their customers in the Community, is has
been concluded that the observance of the undertakings
can effectively be monitored by the Commission.

As regards the undertakings offered by the Ukrainian
exporting producer, the export licensing system to be set
up by the Ukrainian government, which will operate for
the duration of the undertaking, will ensure that all
imports into the EU covered by the undertaking will be
in line with the provisions contained therein.

In view of the above, the undertakings offered by one
exporting producer in India, by the exporting producers
in Mexico and South Africa as well as by the exporting
producer in Ukraine are considered acceptable and the
investigation can, therefore, be terminated with respect
to the exporting producers concerned.
