Dutch term or phrase: dat zij zonder de zgn. kartelafspraken zonder die merkost zou hebben kunnen cont

The two zonders are baffling me: any advance on "that in the absence of the so-called cartel agreements, it could have concluded a contract without an excessive price."?
The whole sentence for reference is: "Diverse elementen uit de beschikking van de Commissie duiden erop dat die premisse van de EG -- nl. [as above] -- onjuist is"

Notes to answerer

Asker: Thank you. The other answer was slightly more elegantly phrased, but both were essentially the same. NB: 'she' should be 'it' as the pronoun refers to the Commission.
