112As for the substantial nature of the effects in the European Union, it is appropriate to point to the number and size of the producers who participated in the cartel, who represented virtually the entire market, and also the wide range of products affected by the different agreements and the gravity of the practices in question. It is also appropriate to point to the significant duration of the single and continuous infringement, which lasted for 10 years. All of those factors, when assessed together, serve to demonstrate the substantial nature of the effects of the practices in question on the territory of the European Union (recitals 66, 492, 493 and 620 of the contested decision).
