| 79. | Where appropriate, as well as relying on submissions by the undertaking(s) involved, the Commission gathers evidence by addressing written requests for information to market participants, including the undertakings involved, or by interviewing them. In that context, the Commission seeks to obtain, primarily from the main competitors and customers in the industry, factual evidence and their views of the boundaries of the product and geographic markets. Requests for information may give rise to fines should answers provided be misleading or incorrect, which contributes to ensuring that accurate information is provided. The Commission may also contact relevant trade or customer associations, undertakings active in upstream or related markets, and other key stakeholders, including local, national or international government authorities and agencies or non-governmental organisations.
