The measures took the form of an ad valorem duty ranging between 0 and 62,6 % on imports of PET film originating in India.\n(2)\nOn 22 August 2001, the Commission, by Decision 2001/645/EC, accepted undertakings offered by five Indian producers: Ester Industries Limited (Ester), Flex Industries Limited (Flex), Garware Polyester Limited (Garware), MTZ Polyfilms Limited (MTZ) and Polyplex Corporation Limited (Polyplex).\n(3)\nOn 22 November 2003, the Commission initiated a partial interim review of Regulation (EC) No 1676/2001 limited to the form of the definitive anti-dumping measures. This investigation has been concluded by Council Regulation (EC) No 365/2006, which amended Regulation (EC) No 1676/2001.\nB.\nWITHDRAWAL OF THE ACCEPTANCE OF UNDERTAKINGS\n(4)\nAs set out in recitals 22 to 25 of Regulation (EC) No 365/2006, and after having consulted all parties concerned, the undertakings in their current form are not appropriate to counteract the injurious effect of dumping, since they present both considerable monitoring and enforcement difficulties and unacceptable risks. On this basis, and also in accordance with the relevant clauses of the undertakings in question, which authorise the Commission to unilaterally withdraw the acceptance of the undertakings, the Commission has decided to withdraw the acceptance of the undertakings.\n(5)\nThe Commission informed the Indian authorities and the Indian exporting producers concerned in Regulation (EC) No 365/2006 that it proposed to withdraw the acceptance of the current undertakings. The interested parties were given the opportunity to comment.\n(6)\nThese comments are addressed in recitals 27 to 31 of Regulation (EC) No 365/2006.\nC.\nREPEAL OF DECISION 2001/645/EC\n(7)\nIn the light of the above, Decision 2001/645/EC accepting undertakings from Ester Industries Limited (Ester), Flex Industries Limited (Flex), Garware Polyester Limited (Garware), MTZ Polyfilms Limited (MTZ) and Polyplex Corporation Limited (Polyplex) should be repealed.\n(8)\nIn parallel to this Decision, the Council, by Regulation (EC) No 366/2006, has imposed definitive anti-dumping duties on imports into the Community of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) film originating in India,\nHAS DECIDED AS FOLLOWS:",
