101Since, as regards Article 23(1)(c) of Regulation No 1/2003, the Commission has not adopted any guidelines setting out the method of calculation which it is required to follow when setting fines under that provision and since its reasoning is disclosed in a clear and unequivocal fashion in the contested decision, the Commission was not required to express in figures, in absolute terms or as a percentage, the basic amount of the fine and any aggravating or mitigating circumstances. It follows that the complaint alleging that the statement of reasons for the contested decision was inadequate must be rejected.
