111Furthermore, point 31 of the 2006 Leniency Notice, which is applicable in the present case (see paragraph 27 above), states, in particular, that ‘[a]ny statement made vis-à-vis the Commission in relation to this notice, forms part of the Commission’s file and can thus be used in evidence’. It follows from this that, since the publication of the 2006 Leniency Notice, an undertaking which, like the applicant in the present case, decides to submit a statement with a view to obtaining a reduction in the amount of the fine is aware of the fact that although a reduction will be granted to it only if, in the Commission’s opinion, the conditions for a reduction referred to in the notice are satisfied, the statement will in any event form part of the file and may be used in evidence, including against its author.
